Well, SE is about mumbo jumbo. And because dead links mean unmaintained site to me, I keep trying to do a bit of maintenance work on some of my posts on an irregular basis.

As for me, I have always envisioned THW as a Blizzard Games site, because there exists provisions to discuss about at least 12 of them:
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/gamers-hub.565/

And that, but SE uploaded stuff takes space that could be allocated for actual important things the site is supposed to be promoting.

SE is one of the many entryways to THW. Therefore, SE imho has to be fully functional, in order to be effective as one of the ways to attract new future Hivers (hopefully).

What Hivers must absolutely do is to *optimize* their uploads. People posting HD screen captures of WC3 in PNG format could take the one minute it takes to convert them to SD JPG ones, with IrfanView for example. For the record, optimizing is what I do always with my own image uploads in SE

What never works?

I never can find people who are interested. I have a lot of friends who love the game so far but they don't know the editor. I think maybe I need a better description and advertising. Thanks for the reply though!

I don't mean that you to craete a tool that automatically analyzes the model/icon and creae a list of colors. I mean the uploader to check check buttons (or type text in a text box with prediction popup list). Like tags. it's basically color TAGS.

It's much nicer to do it automatically. The uploader can already just write the word blue in the description and you can search for blue.

yes you can, but searching by with words and searching with filters is not the same

I try to be a great person. But it wasn't me who donated. I am not familiar with that stream.

Hah, that's interesting. But there's always Staff Contact.

Ok, but it's a waste of time and space to go that way :)

Nah. It's fine :)

I don't do much mapping, haven't in recent years. What's up?

Thank your response.
I want to play your map Tree tag v1.02d at New WC3 ver.1.32.8.15801 with friend.
But I don't know how do ..
Can you help me ?

Someone needs to make it work in Reforged...

Aah. Could be because yesterday I moved the site perhaps.

A-ha! :D

If you can edit it, then do what you think is best :)

ok

I can delete your account. Do you wish your username to disappear too or is that irrelevant?

FeelsGoodMan: "A "test" would be silly from Blizzard's point of view."
I do not think so. Maybe they are indecisive about something, and they are overcautious.

I agree with you that v1.32 was released in an incomplete state. I personally think the Classic Team was themselves dissatisfied with the product that shipped, and I am even wondering if the release of 1.27a could not be some kind of act of rebellion. Hey, why not?

A full 1.31 version directly available from Blizzard would spare you the trouble of spreading it yourself.
;D

(cont'd)

Having previous versions of the game allows for other possibilities. For example, with 1.27 combined with ReplayKit one can use replay archives. Unless of course 1.31 is still compatible with such replays?

It has been known since a long time that by saving a map to, say, 1.31, compatibility may not be guaranteed with previous versions. It is up to anybody to decide how compatible they want their maps to be.

Personally, I am waiting for 1.32 to get debloated, for those like me who did not pay for any 3D assets. Also, bringing back DX9 compatibility could help immensely many people, as not everybody wants to buy new hardware in order to run a video game, especially from version to version. It may be one of the reasons some prefer older versions of the game as well. Hey after all, one of the reasons which made WC3 a success in 2002 was its below than average system requirements by 2002 standards...

So, you want progression on the same primitive foundation.
You have 1.27. Why force them to keep compatibility for newer versions as well? Does any sane company do that? One thing is preserving like with GoG releases that might get some fix updates now and then and another to constantly patch and ensure the newest version would work on 286s.

It just uses file hashes

Oh lol that's awesome. Moose head, hah.

Yeah, that is very fit imho.

I also like the fact that the hero that will rise amidst the chaos is also a loving father (cf the 2nd video). All in all, very appropriate and maybe up to the point imho.
:D

collagen rich chunk of sweet meat for soup sounds lovely.

I have my full ten fingers and ten toes.

Anyone can do it to anyone. Funnily enough I don't recall anyone ever doing it to me. You can enable 2-factor on your account though if you're worried. I have it enabled on mine. It's required for all admins if they want to use the Admin CP.

Ah, good. Didn't know there was something like that.

Good to know.

If only reality weren't in the way.

New version of the site? Is the site going to be greatly updated soon?

I hope so. I've been working on the update since late 2017.

Awesome! I can't wait to see it! I don't think I would really be able to help you but if you need something you can ask me, we never know ; )
