Abelhawk's Mini-Mapping Contest #15 - Secrets of Warcraft 3

[deepstrasz]

I will probably test them on the latest 1.31.1. If the contest moderation demands otherwise, do tell.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

There are at least two maps so far using WASD, so I would hope that "latest patch" is the patch being used.

 

[Edy]

Hmm, how do you kill an invulnerable unit.... as a prize it drops a bow that oneshots your enemies, but is dropabble on death , going great. Will finish by the end.

 

[Blightsower]

Hi, I've watched the series made by abelhawk and i think i wanna make a map that revolves around the magic vault thingy.


Edit: Can someone help me get to the tutorial on how to use bb codes? also a link on where i can post general questions? Its been a long time since i was last here. Thanks.

BB Codes | HIVE

also a link on where i can post general questions?

General questions about what?

 

[Blightsower]

BB Codes | HIVE

General questions about what?

Thank you for the link. General questions, like I remember this part of the site where you can just drop a general question. I forgot what its called. Also, I forgot what I'm suppose to ask.

Just go through these and read what they are about: HIVE A short description of every forum can be found under their title and representative icon.

got it.

Also here is a screenshot of my entry (WIP). I think I will go with a escape themed map.
See attached.

 

[Leods]

All the other WIPS look fine, and possible.
I don't really know if I will can finish my entry in just two weeks

 

[lolreported]

WIP 2.

Still not certain what direction to go with the map based of my chosen inspirations. Time will tell.

 

[Heinvers]

There are at least two maps so far using WASD, so I would hope that "latest patch" is the patch being used.

The latest patch is to be used if possible.

 

[deepstrasz]

The latest patch is to be used if possible.

I'll use the latest and if a map doesn't work properly on it, I'll try 1.30 and 1.29.2. If the map still bugs, I'll consider the bugs real.

 

[Edy]

Here's a playable WIP.
It's about 80%ish done. Feels a bit rushed since I'm going on vacation soon.
Map becomes alot more fun if you manage to kill the item carrier (message me if you don't know how)

DONE (EDIT: Seems the dragon doesn't show for some reason.. gotta & gonna fix that soon)

 

[Marjosh38]

UPDATE:

My Latest WIP, almost half finished on my terrain.

Spoiler: sunken ruins

Spoiler: Waterfalls

 

[lolreported]

Plenty of work done today, almost finished with the first area/chapter/whatever.

I feel I've gone overkill with the map, so I'll most likely cut out some plans for the sake of the contest.

WIP3

As long as the map is fun to create it can always be expanded later.

 

[Leods]

Mmmhh. I can't open the Edy's map for my WC3 version, what makes my doubt. Can i use the WC3 version I am using? (1.26), O it will be harmful?

Edit: I will update my WIP. Now, I finished 4 heroes and have the spell ideas for the last one. I finished the terrain of the principal zone, but I'm really late. I only have two weeks to finish this hero, make all the quests (at least 6, but probably more) and do the boss fights, the enemies, etc.

Sorry for the spoiler codes @Heinvers , but there will really be an amount of images

Spoiler: 5 big images

Queen's Garden:

Sasquatch Council:

Oracle's House:

The problem with this is voting. You might not able to play any maps made on newer versions thus leaving you little voting options.

About that, here is something strange. Sometimes, I can open maps and campaigns maked with 1.27, or, in a few times, even in 1.29, and play them without any problem. In, at least, 12 Maps and campaigns I downloaded, only 2, counting this, don't open. I can, per example, use all the races of UB (in the latest version, I think it is 4.00)

Maybe, the differences between those patches are not that big unless exact material from those newer patches was used like more than the usual 12 players. I don't know about UB.

 

[Leods]

UB (ultimate Battle) is one of the most popular maps in New races matter.
I really recommend it to you, it's excellent, very fine balanced.

I know the map. Didn't know the patch it's been worked on. Look down below until you reach the map details and you'll see Recommended version: 1.21b

 

[Leods]

Oh, I never noticed that, but, anyway, there are a lor of maps that I van play, like the Forsaken Campaign, that, if I'm not mistaken, recommends the 1.27 version.

 

[Edy]

It's on short notice, but I had fun with friends. Might add bunch of stuff in the future.
But as my final version for the contest - my final entry I give you:
Pre-Damnation

It's been fun making this , sadly I don't have time for further improvement.
Good luck fellow contestants.

 

[Leods]

Sorry, I don't really know if I will have the time, my idea wasn't easy. Actually, I have the heroes,.zones, and the essential boss, but I need to create every quest and item in the game, and add the secret that I was planning to add in the map.
Of course, I will try, but I only have a week to finish all this.
Edit: Well, I will post a very low Alpha version.
There are an amount of bugs, and the map 75% finished. To compensate the other players help, you have an amount of powerful items. To teleport to a zone, go to the flower circle, enter on it, and choose your destiny. To come back, use your Hearthstone and pick "I am fine, thanks". You have all the possible heroes. The druidic Mounds are not playable. The only actualy finished is "Disgusting spiders". The quest ID are useless for now. This map is only to use the playable heroes, and look the quest zones.

 

[Heinvers]

Hey guys, we're fast approaching the deadline. Please try to catch up if yer' still working on entries ^^

Best of luck!

 

[Leods]

Hey, @Heinvers , a very fast quest. The "July 8" is including all this day, or at the 00:00 of this day (GMT) i must post my entry?

 

[Heinvers]

July 8th GMT.

 

[Blightsower]

im dropping from the contest. sorry guys.

 

[lolreported]

It feels more like a tech-demo, but it's fully playable and unfortunately not as fleshed out as I'd like- but time became my enemy these past weeks.

This is my entry to the contest,
Path of Devotion

The map was inspired by "Wirts Other Leg" easter egg item from the "Chapter Five: Gates of the Abyss" campaign map.


Note that I might polish or adjust a few things before the end date.

 

[Marjosh38]

Let me clear about this,

Hey, @Heinvers , a very fast quest. The "July 8" is including all this day, or at the 00:00 of this day (GMT) i must post my entry?

July 8th GMT.

So its mean we can submit our entries on that day any time? Or exactly 0:00?

 

[gusanomental]

Well, here's my final entry. I gave up A LOT of ideas due the time limit. I strongly suggest playing it with a friend unless you want to do some boring test. If you did, thanks for playing.

Defense of the Pandaren Drinking Area

 

[AbellFan2004]

So this is my entry, got distracted on other projects but i'm just going to leave it here.

 

[Naze]

@Marjosh38 to clarify: you guys have the entirety of July 8th GMT to upload your entry.

@AbellFan2004 you also have to upload a work-in-progress of your project as per 5th rule of the first page:

• You must show at least one unfinished preview of your submission, before the deadline, as proof that it’s yours.

 

[deepstrasz]

@AbellFan2004 you also have to upload a work-in-progress of your project as per 5th rule of the first page:

And also, the (final) entry has to be uploaded in Maps | HIVE.

 

[Leods]

@AbellFan2004 , i think this only can be considerated as a WIP, more being that you must also link the contest with the download page in Hive, which you have not done, so I infer that the map is not in the map section yet.

 

[Retera]

Hey guys, early on I wanted to be a part of this, but I basically forgot and didn't make much progress.
However, for a simple map that doesn't win but enriches the available entries, I thought I would do something fun here really fast before the contest closes.
So I was making this mini 1 player RPG where a hero goes into blizzard HQ in a post apocalyptic environment and has to get the hidden models that were never released out of a secret office.

Attached is a WIP but I'm at risk of not finishing depending on what time I have available today.

 

[Heinvers]

Guys, you should really wrap things up and finish your entries.

Also, map uploading to the section as well.

 

[deepstrasz]

Well, if we don't have enough content, maybe we should extend.

 

[Leods]

I don't really know if, with this time, i will finish my entry (i really hope yes).
Now, I need to make a "Hero selecting system" with items as base, a boss-playable Hero, and a very secret secret... And I only have eight hours.

 

[AbellFan2004]

oof, the link:The Battle for Nature

[Retera]

I just got off of work and I'm traveling home. Gotta see if I can make a map in 45 minutes or so, right?

 

[Marjosh38]

I'm going to upload my map, later... Just Finishing up the descriptions...

EDIT: (Last Second)?

MY entry RIP XD

Rise of the Ancients

 

[Retera]

Alright, I have "finished" my entry with 7 minutes to go. I only spent about 40 minutes on this last night, and 40 minutes just now, so it is not a winner by any means. As a result, I focused on just having fun and putting something down on the page as an idea draft.

Califlorida Capture

 

[Leods]

AT LAST MINUTE (second, also)
Sasquatch Secret Society (SSS)
The description sucks, and i dont maked all, but it isn't bad...

 

[Edy]

It's on short notice, but I had fun with friends. Might add bunch of stuff in the future.

Good luck fellow contestants.

Was this not a valid entry? Since I don't see mine in the final entries in Page 1.

 

[Heinvers]

Will update the list soon. Off to work.

Thank you to those that manage to upload to the maps section and for the rest, you have until I get back from work ^_^

Se ya' soon.
