Q. What do you get when you combine one map of a certain type and another under a different mode?
A. You get 2 maps integrated into one.
Overview of Battle Arena Zero
Info. About this map
I am aware that a number of players have already have tested out the previous versions of Angel Arena Z scattered throughout the internet.
The overall gameplay of all the versions that the map author have made have been a major transitions, thus creating a more dynamic gameplay atmosphere.
Ever wondered what it would be like to combine one map of a particular role and another map of a different role. By experiment the feelings are somewhat mixed. As this release is in development stages.
A lot of work needs to be done before the author declares its finished product.
In case you were wondering about the sudden name change, I've decided to provide my explanation of the changes (details are below the page) to improve the overall image of the map and as well as the Angel Arena projects.
What's new and different compared to all the other Angel Arena series?
A lot has changed, not just in visual appearences, also the gameplay role has changed dramatically, as people are adjusting to new gameplay enviroments. The map has taken over 3 months to complete from scratch and it is still a long way to go into completion. I'll start by explaining what this version contains comparing to the rest.
Whats NEW? That has been added
o Hero Selection Module redeveloped, now you can select heros from tavens instead of navigating (incomplete)
o New Heros added (Not many has been added as the author have begun fixing the map for any memory leaks)
o Re-Established Items, new and existing
o Item Manual Sets Complete restructuring - Combining certain items as well as the manual will transform into improved weapons and protection at your disposal
o Visual Layout has been redesigned from beginning
o Trigger Codes are now been re-written from scratch as all other Angel Arena Series they use the same coding algorithm and thus the code structure are prone to memory leaks
o Reduced the amount of memory leaks in the map, thus preventing any abnormal gameplay bugs and crashes
o Imposed limits on Gate Creeps spawning, the limit is 8 on each camp (this is done in order to reduce the memory it takes and improves on gameplay)
What's yet to be added/improved
o The basic foundations of the Angel Arena Series
o Preview - 2 Gameplay modes integrated into one
o Incomplete coding structure, It is not finished at time of writing
o New and existing Heros have yet to be added
o Item Sets have not been fully completed or implemented
o Additional Quests have yet to be established
o Duel Arena have yet to be installed
o Multi-Arena is yet to be established (more info. about it on future releases)
o TOP-SECRET - A New System will be established, cannot discuss of what this system is about. Info. about this new system will be elaborated upon future releases
Why a name change to the map based on the Angel Arena series?
To start off, I am aware there are various releases of the Angel Arena series. Most of the releases are edited and repacked. Most of the various releases uses the same psuedo-coding from the original Angel Arena series.
I've decided to change the name as the new name change will appeal to the target audience, thus creating an enviromental atmosphere. The idea is to attract as much of the audience as possible at the same time to keep the
map appealing. It is impossible to satisfy everyone as they have their different interests on how they like to play their game.
Why have you decided to write the code from scratch instead of using the existing coding from the Angel Arena Maps?
As far as I'm aware the coding structure that was used are heavily bugged, memory leaks were occuring at an alarming rate which could lead to the game unstable and prone to crashing. Warcraft III crashes happen more likely on bad edited maps which have a lot of memory leaks rather than the game itself (apart from hardware issues not relating to specific playable maps).
Another reason I've decided to write the code from scratch is to keep the coding organized and balanced so if changes were needed to be done, it can be retrieved in a matter of moments rather than replacing the existing coding values. It's a case of If it's broken, replace it rather than If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am aware as this is not a finished product, bugs are expected to happen, Provide your feedback to the map
author here via email (contact details are on top of page)
Releases of this map are coming soon, for now I will start by providing some screenshots.
Keep an eye out on this thread for future releases.
UPDATE: Due to Forums File Size Limits, I'm unable to send the files directly to the board, instead I will upload it onto my personal webspace.

NOTES:
o Duel Arena isn't setup properly, this will be fixed before an official release can be made.
o Trigger Coding has been re-written from scratch in order to stablize the gameplay, existing Angel Arena map releases are using the same code.
o Multiboard is not active, it was setup as the design template, priorities are needed to be addressed first before any work on the multiboard can be commenced.
o Map is approx. 4mb big, custom sounds and icons have been added and the author is yet to be determined on how they are finalized and managed.
o Limits have been imposed on gate spawn creeps in order to minimize memory usage and preventing memory leaks.
o Map is currently NOT PROTECTED, Feel free to use the trigger code as such on your map projects, but please respect my work and not hosting this map on a regular occurence as possible leaked versions may happen. Author has decided that this map will be OPEN SOURCE until the author states otherwise.
