Astaroth Zion

Sorry for double, the message was too long

I will post my new ideas in the thread soon - even if they are gonna be rejected because they are bad . You are right about suggesting more ideas would help everyone find out the best option!


What do you think about races that would require a basic system (example: Evolvers = evolution system race / Loyalty = if some stat goes under a value you start to lost units / Engineers = You can boost your units with items etc) what everyone may use.

Pharaoph joined the Solo Mini-Mapping Contest recently... (He made an awesome submission)

We have some issues with deciding the theme of the next techtree contest.
There are two types of restrictions, and ppl cant decide what would suit a Techtree Contest more. In my opinion we should start a poll about it, but others think we should decide it without voting. The theme is stuck at the moment, maybe we just need some fresh ideas, or point of view to make a decision.
If you are interested in the next contest, take a look at the theme, so you can help starting the next contest!

Wraithling and Pharaoph_ will judge, and Wairthling asked stuff about my map a month ago, so i guess he is already finished. (I've seen him asking others too)
Pharaoph is quite busy with moderating the Arena, so he may forget things. (We waited for the 5th Hero Contest Results, while judging was already completed)
If no anwser comes in the thread in a few days, i will PM him for sure.

(Post) For item ideas!

Sure. Dont hesitate to chat me though.
But, I may still be online while sleeping.

Have a skype? If not go to chat now.

The project is a Hero Arena, where there are no attacks, just spells.
You could be our Object Manager/Idealist/Tester.

Lets discuss more on Skype/THW Chat.

I heard you wanna help in our project

Well maybe we could talk more on dA? Got account? Anyway, next time send me a PM not a VM... This way I'll get an email notification^^

depends, i don't know if i'm overly bothered working on my race again

nahh, not an extension of this techtree, it would be cooler to do a campaign contest using the races.

combining races onto one map is really hard, you have to worry about system conflicts(example, people who use set custom value ) etc... I am willing to copy my race onto any map to further your efforts.

last techtree contest, i uploaded my submission to the maps section

it got generally accepted

also i have no idea what you're saying in your idea

Hey old bud! Sorry I wasn't here like few months now... But I got the email notification about PM from you. And I was sure you wouldn't check your email^^
So here I am saying it again: Sorry but I do not play WarCraft anymore, I play nothing anymore I given myself into art. That's all I do now... Draw, draw and draw... PONIES=) And I love how many fans i have, and that makes me happy=) Sorry, I also can't test it... No WC3...
But thanks for remembering me=)
I wish you all the best! Make great maps! become the best! Good luck!

talk to drunken_jackal . . .

thanks for your comments, you gave really good feed back
i wish i had found that problem with the ace, it is such an uber easy fix. lol

could you do some modelling?
if you can, i'll let you in my project
or maybe just site handling, etc
we need more members

yeaahh I was looking forward to joining this contest but i signed in to the Hive too late :c

a vm would be great

(Post) good idea

Its not a problem. I am actually glad that someone has a use for them. They have just been sitting on my hard drive not doing anything. I almost deleted them, but then remembered how much time I spent on them.

Anyway I hoped this worked. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=yrmxz6

Feel free to do any thing you like with them. I was going to change some of the animations but never got around to it.

Hey. Sorry it took so long to reply, I don't get on hive as much as I would like. In response to your question yes I do still have the models in my album and there is no custom skins so you don't need to worry about that. If you are still in need of them I can upload them for you. Just keep in mind it may take some time for me to reply to any messages.

Hey, hope you liked the map. If you're gonna work it then remember this: the elements are core of the map!!! Just remember that each clan has own possibilities, own spells, own items, own heroes and stuff like that... It needs few more hereos, abilities and kinda a lot of items... BUT there are triggers that leak, so you must remove the leaks! But don't mess up with the triggers you don't understand, just ask me then. So good luck and have fun =) But please if you use something imported, give credits: in First folder, in trigger quests, also add your name there as a new author!

My map must be opened only in this editor! But remember that there are a lot of possibilities in triggers now, DO NOT USE THEM!!! They will show an error massage, because editor was created for 1.16 patch and below!
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=fg3nl8
P.S. I sent you the map to PM
Good luck!

Oh and i hope you'll pass all exams perfectly!!! In 1 month it's gonna be my time to pass exams =)
P.S. I'm the 100 visitor to your page

You need more friends))) Okay i can send you the map, just tell me and i'll give you my latest version. But still undone, if you're interested in it - unprotected waiting for you! But it need some code optimization, since when i started it making i didn't clear all the leaks...

So hey, how's your projects coming? Haven't heard from you for a long time for now =)
Ignore posts below, i quit making maps (still make spells/systems)... Holy sh*t so much posts from me on you wall :S

-if you played DotA then it will famalliar to you;
-it contains over 24 custom heroes with custom abilities, for now;
-custom items;
-there're 3 teams (team 1: Fire and Ice; team 2: Nature and Earth; team : light and darkness;
-each team has own heroes, items, creeeps, towers...;
-on each base there's also an Elemental Workshop, which can research upgrades for creeps and support;
-over 20 systems to make your gameplay great!;
-a ot of ustom modes: Capture the Flag; Avatar; Nuclear Reactor; Neutral Spawn; Elemental Totems; Neutral Victim; Boucing Ball; Bloody Rituals; Armor of Legendsand probably few more, but i can't remember...'
-wonderfull terrain, with more then 20000 objects: trees, grass, bushes, rocks....
So this some info on my map, hope it helpful, and if you have any suggestions on the map, feel free to tell 'em.
P.S. If you want i could sent a beta version of my map. Just so you could test it yourself and tell me what you think.

Okay then 18th of april 7pm of my time (+2 GMT), and in Mexico it's gonna be 10am. So if'll be able to play at that time it would be grea! But if you'll have any changes tell me, or if you can't play that time. I guess till 18th i'll add few more items and 1 hero.

O congratulate with your place, your first contest and you're in top 5!!! Good job man!
Okay then i'lll be waiting...

(Post) You misspelled Project lol

Well okay, then, i understand perfectly, just tell me next time you'll have time to test...

Hey what are you doing now? can you play right now... test me map? i'd like to now what you think...

Hey, i guess i wont be playing tomorrow, the only days i can play are from Monday till Friday, because on weekends i prefer to study more...
So if you'll have time on those days you just tell me!

Okay so on Saturday, right? If i'll have some changes i'll tell you tomorrow.

I don't mind playing it, i'm from Ukraine so i guess when it's 7pm at your country it's 7am at mine Well that hard to decide when to play... but what about now? i mean in saturday in this time right now? what time is in your country? in mine - 19:37
Anyway i'm going out right for a walk will be back in few hours?
P.S. Are you on Facebook?

Okay, glad to hear that. Well about the time, what country are you from if from Europe then fine 7pm is ok! And nah, i don't play dota anymore... I got bored with its awful terrain and suckish gameplay! It's too old, 1000 version and same terrain - hahaha
When you'll have time send me a massage, when you will play

Hey, i got a question...
My project is really coming fast this week and managed to fix almost all bugs, so if you have time and you're registered in Garena; could you test the map with me and my other friend 1vs1vs1. It's an AOS, 3 teams, 2 elements in each clan, not much items and heroes for now but more then 10 (fun) modes...
I'd be glad if you could!

-Floating Texts leak!;
-add how to import trigger to explain, even if you know how to do it;
-make a knockback a bit more slighter, change the distance, from 15 to 10 (only example);
-you also could add a system to check MS and AS, since your spell changes it; ms you know how, and AS could help you here. There's test map attached to Maker's last post, he was fixing my system

-i think you know that using custom value is bad, because it can cause bugs on other spells/systems that custom value too;
-the knockback effect isn't so good, i mean that it's alright for only the knockback system, but it's a fun contest, so maybe add some other effect, and dirt effect wont really fit, i guess;
-in trigger knockback you say: "Lets damage the unit", but you just subtract the life, you don't deal any damage, so when you kill him - you wont receive credit;
-you need to add more documentation, add one line of comment to each action, even if it's something you don't to change and use "---------------------" this text before and after comment to make it look better and more understandable;

Nice spell! But how the hell do ia vote here? i cannot... i guess. or i just cannot. Could you tell me how to vote?

Edit: oh damn!!! i now can only post less then 1000 characters... so suggestion in other post!

Anyway i think that's all you don't need to change everything as i've said, because it's your decision, anyway good luck!!!

Link to the contest please, cannot find it

Hey. Don't to hurry if you got no time, coz i don't have too...
Edit: i'm fine =) How are you?

Hey. Well, for now i can only think of one reason, maybe the map name is too big? Limit is 48 letters, including path to the map. Like: Maps/My Maps/Test.w3x
Also this could cause corrupted triggers, scripts...
But as you say you downloaded a lot of maps, then there must be something with your WC3, maybe the cause is editor...
Try to reopen the map in Jass New Gen Pack and save it again. JNGP is third party tool which allows you to break limits of standart editor and has a lot more possibilities. Here's a link to download this - Click Me =) In the original thread on wc3c.net link is broken so that's the only working one, for now.

This will help you remove leaks - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/
It will help you to remove the leaks!

Ok lets start:
-i only used one icon of Iron to set the example, because i couldn't find all icons;
-you leak locations and groups, maybe something else but i wasn't viewing all the map;
-your icons are green, means that you have wrong path: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNIron.blp and ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\BTNIron.blp - this is right path;
-map is great, i really liked it, but still there's a lot of space on the map, so you'll have to work a lot still;
-try to avoid waits - use loop triggers;
-in my map i created a dialog to select modes too, but you have your own, so you just copy the actions that are needed, they are shown in trigger.
If i did something wrong you just tell me!!!

I'm satisfied that you like my multiboard.
Okay i'll wait for the map. For now the system is like 60% done, and i'll just need to adjust few things.

Edit: Okay, system is ready, please send me the map so i could look at it and combined the system with the map, also added icons. I'm not going to add the system into map, i'm just gonna improve it, so it would fit a lot better. Upload the map to Pastebin and send me the link through the Private Massage.

This how looks multiboard for now. If you have any suggestions tell me. This multiboard is for Easy Mode.

Well if you want to send me a map it would be great, but submitting it to Map Development it's for you to decide.

Okay then i'll make the multiboard for this system.
And i think you could do the shop yourself, i mean you know better what it must show.
In multiboard i'd like to show the resources with icons, so if you have icons for all resources, send me if not try to request them. I would do them myself but got problems with my Photoshop...

Edit: on what slots do players play? Red and Blue or others? If Red and Blue are player controlled then it would finish a bit faster, because i made a lot of things for those two and just remembered that might be wrong Silly me...

I have done the basics of the mineral band movement, (just as triggers) but without a proper transporting band model ,,,
At least I can check that mining minerals is at its 70% needing to do the terraining for the other player, alloy making ist like 30% cause I have just now pass the breakpoint. Now I can continue easily with my the resto of the alloy part....
