LoaP The Cataclysmic Change

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Greetings.

About My Map:
This is my first map that I'v made out of another LoaP map, so It's not officially mine.
The map I used to make this was Life in a Dark Realm (LOAP) map and
I'v done so many new things in it, but you can still see the original terrain,
when you compare these two. So Credits to the FrostDragoon/TheArchDemon, Map Maker of Life in a Dark Realm.



Map Information:
The current map is Roleplaying map, where you pick a character and play with it. You may get a job to gain gold. Unlike other LoaP maps this map has more dangerous environment and lots of custom models, aswell some custom spells.

There are 6 teams; Peasants, Burger King, The Empire, Mafia, The Prophet and The Dark Empire.
Peasants are normal players, whos will pick a character and play as him.
Burger King is edited version of Drug Lord, but in more... Undruggy way.
The Empire works as a Police, who will protect the city from dangers that threat it.
Mafia on the other hand tryes to rule the city.
The Prophet is a new one. He is the one who will guide everyone in the disaster.
Dark Empire, however, has a huge castle, wich is raised from the abyss.

One of the events in this map is a sword called Ashbringer, the one who will pick this sword will be able to challenge the Dark One who has turned the city itself into flames. The sword, however, is hard to get.

New Version Changes:
- Everything is fully balanced now.
- Different Music.
- Working events.

Lower the file size, it can't be played in multiplayer. Also, you might actually add what did you change in the map, and add a few screenshots except the heroes and... whatever the hell the second screenshot is.

Sure, but I didn't pay attention to the filesize so much. I want someone else to continue this map, if someone wants, becourse I ain't got all day to spend on working with a map like this.
The only reason why I even started to make this was that the original map was so good idea, but bad implementation, so I decided to improve it a bit and by that I got an idea to make it a different map.
And here it is, still someone else can continue this. :p

Jeeze... Another loap, you know this could possibly be the most useless kind of map to make...

There are people that like it. I myself and my friends play sometimes. And I honestly like to make/edit LoaPs. I'm making a big one myself, with good and high-detailed resources and terrain. I won't release it though, since people like you say its useless and stuff. So I'll just keep it for myself and friends, but I'll be glad to show the terrain in my album.

Returning to topic, this LoaP is pretty nice actually, only problem is the file size. I liked it, good for roleplaying. I'll consider trying to edit it ;).

How did you manage to get this to 10.5 mb? Did you add custom music? If so, you should optimize it or remove it. Because as others have said, you can't host it on bnet and...that's kind of the point of multiplayers games...
Either that or you have a TON of imported things... Pick and choose your favs.

Perhaps you should take off the music. If the file size is still not under 8mb, then you gotta take out a useless or almost useless model.

Btw, you won't work on this map anymore, right? :/

That is so good. And yeah, I'm not working for this anymore. I know it may sound weird, but I kinda have more important things to do than make maps for Warcraft 3.
The only reason I made this was that I kinda felt bad for the original map and wanted to edit it. Then I saw how much I could improve it and then this is what I came up with. That's also the reason why filesize is so big.

Anyway, I really like it if someone would edit this or do something about it, becourse it's a great map, but the filesize is too big and I'm too bored to make it any better.
Thanks. :p

Have you tried optimizing it? After all, maps like Diablo III and Cataclysm (CloudWolf's) are incredibly full of models, and yet, light compared to their quality. Even though you don't work on it anymore, you could try optimizing it, aside from just removing models or something.

Please don't advertise your resources in another persons thread.
Also please keep the font size smaller, using a bigger font doesn't make your description bigger in any way, just takes up the space of the page.

there exist lot's of bugs :)
1) when you take the knight (white male) you take the necromancer in same time (bug of hero selection), and necromancer can't be take alone...

2) Is it normal, do the prophet can't finish the ghost night elves quest (the purple, give the moon blade to the ghost, the halo appear, but nothing change ...) and king quest ?

3) I'm not sure but, the last time i've play the map, at a moment, the grey earn 12 invulnerable units, names "king's servant"...
