  • Hey folks, Archian here. Just wanted to say that I have a long list of things that needs to be done and I'm slowly working my way done the list. I've been out of the loop for some time (Had a new child and bought a house) so please forgive me if you are still waiting for an answer. I will get to you ASAP! Feel free to give me a heads-up in case I've forgotten :)
    Hi there Archian. Is there a way for me to update the preview shots for my old textures without having it bumped at the first page of the Skins Section?
    Hey, would it be security violation or big brother-esque to use your staff powers to contact past melee mapping contestants just in case they'd want to join the current going contest since it started a month ago and there's only one contestant as of today.
    Hey, I think the max number of choices for contest voting should be mentioned. It seems to be 3 for most recent contests but it may not be a must I guess so writing the max number would help not ticking too much.
    Hey,
    The user is inactive for almost a year, please merge the threads:
    Hello I accidently voted in the HD Modeling contest #4 without reading, would it be possible to remover my vote. I am very sorry.
    Wasn't sure where to place this however I have noticed it's never considered even if it is a silly idea, so I'd like to suggest the idea of a contest where the point is to make a model as high quality as possible while keeping it in classic format despite likely not ever entering anymore contests myself due to being a fan of using assets/rips that aren't mine originally.
    Hello, I tagged you in the metroidvania thread, writting here because I eddited my message, and if I remember correct edits may not send red flags notifications, have a nice day.
    Hello! i just wanted to ask, are we allowed to upload texture swaps and spell buff/projectile in the model section for our entry? like, i want to upload variants of my model and a spell throw projectile in one bundle for convenience to anyone who wants to use it.
    Archian
    Archian
    Of course. Well, perhaps wait till after the deadline? Or specific which model variant you would like to submit for the contest :)
    -Grendel
    -Grendel
    alright, i guess i'll update the bundle with other texture swaps after the contest's deadline to avoid confusion :D
    i'm thinking of making my entry a forest troll after i'm done with all the necessary stuff so it could fit along with the dire forest troll that cavman uploaded as its the only dire troll in the models section i believe. but are spell effects allowed? i'm making one sfx missile for the spell throw where he throws his weapon. nothing grand really.

    I don't know about how these things work for Contest Entries, but in general I would say you can totally include whatever random associated things you want in a given Bundle; stuff like reskins & icons & SFX & all that are perfect examples of what they designed Bundles for. : )

    Take a look at Villagerino's "Wight" model for a perfect example.
    Hey man, would you update the main post with the link of the video Ralle posted?

    Currently working on a upload to our own YouTube channel with the video of Ralle and Grubby - but sure.

    Thanks for telling me. Looks like the author either edited the texture file with a black area, or forgot to add the body part. Either way, status changed to: Awaiting Update.
    Hey, it would be a good idea to check that the hero tie rank icons don't interfere with the custom ones won via donations, contest awards or whatnot.
    The Heroes page of Members shows the number of messages those accounts posted.
    Since there is no other indicator than the amount they chose to aid with, the space could be left blank instead. Or, there you could show the time since those accounts have been patrons.
    Hey Archian, I posted a map called Rat Maze V.1.8 and I am waiting to be approved. I was hoping you could give me a progress update, or inform me on whether or not any staff members have looked at my map yet? Thank you for your time!

    Hello SneakTurtle,

    hi @SneakyTurtle! I am very pleased to see new projects coming up, but reviewing takes some more time atm as we lack 2 additional reviewers. I'll check the current queue and ask a reviewer to help you! :D

    Thanks for choosing Hiveworkshop to upload your project!

    Hello @Alexen Thank you for reaching back to me! It is much appreciated, do you have a rough time estimate on how much longer till I get reviewed and approved? Thank you for your time!
    Hello Archian, I am looking for a deleted skin by hive member 'RedShift'.
    In a request thread I posted, Footman16 suggested that I should ask you about it , as you were a judge in the contest in which the texture was uploaded.
    Here is the link to RedShift's entry of the skin in the contest. It was named 'Bandit Ringleader' if I remember correctly.
    Hey man, would you also green stuff like profile tab text and search/text field borders?
    There's some inconsistency with what text is green and which is not. For instance, because the buttons are green, the text is yellow but text outside green buttons is either green or yellow, usually green though.
    Hello lord, I was wondering, If I edit a Ported Model like for example a skeleton warrior to make him Skeleton worker, should I post him in ported models section?
    Hello, I have a mind about the tidings that are not in English. I don't want to violate the rules of all English on the website, so I will put an English translation under this tidings in the future. Is this in line with the rules?
    I can't find that post, so I put my reply here. hope I didn't disturb you.
    Hey, I think all of the updated info should also be in the main post or at least links to the info from there.

    Wasn't there a thread where it showed which icons were not available due to them being stuck on specific users?
    I remember it was here: The Hive's Staff

    Well, it's still WIP. Not final yet, thats why its not in the main post.
    Is this site kosher, and has it ever been mentioned on THW before, please?

    For the record, it is mentioned in this PCGaming Wiki page as "Warcraft III & Warcraft III: Reforged Map Database"
    ... along with THW and a few other sites

    We have pages about WC3 sites and community links
    ... but I am not sure they are very up to date. With the recent re-organization of the site, idk where one should eventually post a link to this site.
    Yeah, right. As I've been saying before the implementation. People will still consider it Substandard. It's just a rooted idea and changing the name to sound nicer won't help.
    hello director, i would like to ask you to evaluate my model please, the moderator who evaluated may have misjudged and i am not satisfied, if you think he is right then in this case i prefer to remove the model, because i think it is unfair since i had so much work to do and make sure it works well. link: Full plate footman chromed

    @Rikardo1000 This user here has a point Full plate footman chromed
    I don't think I have misjudged your model in anyway. You work is minimal and the resulting model is very lacking in polish.
    Rikardo1000

    I use this model on my map along with many other sd models, it never has a problem, it doesn't crash, there are no bugs, I don't understand where you saw problems, and you talk about minimal work, but all the models you post on this site are poorly made. but I’m tired, I’m removing it, I’m just sorry for the people who won’t have the chance to download it here.
    Hi Archian! Right as you reacted to my post, I edited it and added a few things. Feel free to take a look again, in case you miss it :p

    The thing is, the last time the Blizzard forums got updated, they decided to not import the posts from the now retired ones. Which means that years and years of posts and comments, as well as official documentation and tips for legacy or even classic versions of their games, seem to have been lost in the process

    Hi I am new to this website. Is there a way to send private messages in this website?
    I need to send private messages to my friend about my unannounced map, which I don't want to reveal to public.

    I dont have the option. Maybe because I am a new user?
    Tomorrow we will release the new version of Hive. More features will be added to the site in the weeks after release. Stay tuned!
