Probably Spell Shield Amulet ?! a hint ??

Hello.
Offset shows absolute position of mipmap in the file. To read first mipmap, your program should follow these steps:
Read JPEG_HEADER_SIZE ([4] bytes located at 156 position)
Read JPEG header ([JPEG_HEADER_SIZE] bytes located at 160 position)
Read mipmap ([MipMapSize[0]] bytes located at MipMapOffset[0] position)
Concatenate JPEG header and mipmap.
Send the result to JPEG decoder.
If you have a problem with missing bytes when reading, try to debug and watch the variable, that contains file offset.

Because i found you in all the "passive with colldown" threads :D
well if it happens that you have time for a tutorial show us some tricks, its ok althought :)

Hi ! pleas make a "Passive ability with cooldown" Tutorial :) Plz !

Awesome avatar dude!

Step up to the plate and try new ideas in the Mapmaking Challenge #4, running from August 15th.

----------
How about asymmetric spawns, towers, terrain? And how worthwhile/balanced are spawn upgrades in competition to hero building?
----------
The reason to introduce asymmetry in an lpg is that you're confident that the advantages/disadvantages it creates will provoke action, as team try to capitalise on their advantages and exploit the enemy disadvantages.

In Dota2, certain heroes are considered better on Radiant/Dire, and Roshan is easier to take as Dire. In TI4, most teams rushed to the Radiant jungle at the start of the game, to place wards there or try get a kill. In a symmetric game, there would be no reason for teams to converge at a place and fight that early (without some other mechanic). So it can have benefits, though you sacrifice the cleanliness of perfect symmetry. That said, even League gets complaints that one team wins more because of the camera angle!

I have yet to come across spawn upgrades that I like. Collectively, they're either:
A boost to your troop's power that causes you to passively push lanes, smothering your opponents unless they also spend money on upgrades. No well-versed opponent will ignore upgrades, so in effect they are a very temporary advantage, for a few waves at most.
A game of rock-paper-scissors. Again, your advantage in playing rock only lasts until your opponent notices and plays paper. Temporary advantage for long-term disadvantage.
I don't find either of those satisfying mechanics to win with, or play against. They punish new players who don't know the system, and demand time/gold from players who have better things to be doing (like: having fun).

EotA has a lot of spawn upgrades. Team assets require a separate team resource so no individual has to foot the bill, which I like. But fundamentally, it's rock-paper-scissors for a temporary advantage, which lasts longer if your opponents are busy, don't know the system, or resource-starved. I think that outcome could probably be implemented in a cleaner way with less disadvantages.

----------
What do you think of asymmetric AoSs?
----------
The advantage of asymmetry (non-shared hero pools) is that in lpgs with smaller hero pools, you can afford to have more extreme/unique designs without risking certain combos being too powerful. It also means the matchups are more familiar and easier to balance. It's easier to focus on making smaller pools of heroes more dynamic, because the possible matchups are easier to calculate and accommodate for.

It's totally possible to make extreme designs work in a shared pool, but it takes more finesse to make sure that every combination has weaknesses, and that one team grabbing all the pushers won't get a free win because they left none for the opposing team.

RoW is still asymmetric due to inertia. The amount of effort to re-code/re-design/re-balance everything for a shared pool is not worthwhile at this point, compared to revising the terrain and improving hero designs.

My feeling told me however i found a game named ''School of Dragons'' Want to try it? it's very good.

You Don't like me right?
