Black Clans War
Created by Oljin

Map Info:
VERSION 1.2.2

The Blackrock Clan and The Black Tooth Grin Clan are at war!
Choose one of 24 epic heroes from the Warcraft World and fight with your clan to destroy the enemy's Fortress!

Features:
1vs1 to 4vs4
  • 24 different Heroes to play: Assassins, Tanks, Healers and combinations
  • Every hero has
    • 3 abilities with 9 levels (Q,W,E) and one ultimate ability with 3 levels (R)
    • a teleport ability to any allied unit on the map (interruptable, 300s cooldown)
    • level cap 30
  • Total up to 85 unique spells!
    • 69 of it imported from the HiveWorkshop
    • All spells should be MUI and leakless
    • The spells are distributed among 22 different classes. 4 heroes share just 2 classes, namely:
      • Orgrim Doomhammer (The Blackrock Clan) and Dal'Rend Blackhand (The Black Tooth Grin Clan) have the same abilities, but can only be played by allies of their clan
      • Nikoro (The Blackrock Clan) and Maim Blackhand (The Black Tooth Grin Clan) have also the same abilities, but can only be played by allies of their clan
  • Several In-Game Options - Choose your own style how to play the game
    • No gold income, no shops, no runes of healing/mana (-nogold, -noshops, -norunes)
    • General options (-altplay, -lvlcap, -trees, -events, -dmgmove)
      • Altplay: Activates/Deactivates if allied units share xp and gold from kills with the players.
      • Lvlcap: Raise the hero max lvl to 50.
      • Trees: Turn off/on tree regrow
      • Events: Turn off/on periodic "Battle Arena" game events.
      • Dmgmove: Damage Engine allows the option to take less damage while moving
      • Randhero: Random heroes will be assigned to all Players.
    • Creep camps options (-inc, -camps): Change if camps are active at all or not, and if they have an initial spawn delay or not.
    • Change the minions/soldiers production (-allmin, -nomin, -otop, -omid, -obot, -otm, -omb, -otb)
    • Options for towers and strongholds (-notw, -nostr, -mtw, -tpp)
      • Notw: No towers at all
      • Nostr: No strongholds (at top and bottom bases)
      • Mtw: 2 more towers than in normal modus at top and bottom base
      • Tpp: Towers per player modus. Top and bottom base have one more tower per Player. Main base has towers proportional to the number of players playing.
  • 3 Lanes
    • Upgrading buildings & units every 200 seconds
    • Top and bottom lane have extra strongholds, mid lane has only Towers
    • When one stronghold is destroyed, more minions are produced on that lane for the team which destroyed the stronghold
    • When both strongholds are destroyed, more minions are produced on all 3 lanes
    • There is a small chance that runes of healing / mana appear when units are killed; they disappear after 10 seconds
    • There is a small chance that gold coins drop when units are killed; they stay until picked up
    • Trees regrow afer 8 seconds
  • 4 Small-, 4 Medium- and 2 Boss-Camps are distributed across the map
    • Including 2 Mo'arg the Overlord's as bosses
    • The camps system works like in Heroes Of The Storm (Blizzard), which is: After the camp is defeated, a counter assigns points to the heroes which stand within the runes. If both teams stands within the runes, no points are given. Whichever team reaches 10 points first will get the camp.
    • The units are stronger when fighting for a clan, so it's really worth it!
  • Item shops with nearby fountain of regeneration in each base - Enjoy your drinks!
Author's Note:

We have tested the map several times 1vs1, and once 2vs2. We haven't tested it 3vs3 or 4vs4 yet.
Updates and improvements are coming - we are playing it daily :)

It's OPEN SOURCE - use it as you like.

If anyone plays it at least 1v1 I would be very happy to hear some feedback!
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

I made it with my Mac and shitty World Editor from WC3 Version 1.27.0.5. I don't have windows (yet). Update: Now i have a Windows :)

Known Issues:

  • Units chasing heroes around the map: How can I force the units to stay on their lane, without forbidding them to attack heroes? And to stick to a certain order in killing units on their way?

  • The Burning Arrow (Tyrande's Q Ability) is not created exactly at the position of the caster, but a bit offset. The trigger works exactly like Elune's Arrow, but Elune's Arrow works perfectly (perfet alignment). Don't know how to fix this yet… --> Solved.

  • Not sure if all spells are MUI, and not creating lags in multiplayer games. I did not test all of them yet (working on it). --> Improved Fire and Ice Synergie. More spells may come...

Released on 21.4.19
  • Minor Bug fixes (leaks).
  • Added option "Random Hero" (-randhero).


Released on 19.4.19

General
  • Memory leaks removed: Realized my codes were full of point / group / effect / playergroups / wait-(game-time)-seconds leaks. Now (hopefully) all of them should be removed.
  • Added a periodic Battle Arena Event in the map center: Last team standing will get a boss for free. The event will be announced 90 seconds before the fight Begins.
  • The game will start after everyone typed "-rdy", so game options and heroes can be selected without to hurry. One can also undo the ready status by typing "-unrdy". The ready status can be seen in the multiboard.
  • Added a bunch of game options. See features above (or just play it).
  • All camps with status <Fight!> will now pop up floating Texts with the current value of the Region, when a hero stands within it. It's basically the same as "Points" in the Camps section of the Multiboard.
  • Game Timers corrected -> No more "Wait X (game-time) seconds", but timers.
  • Map decorations slightly improved.
  • Removed XP, Gold and Lumber tab in multiboard. Was unnecessary.
  • Removed the option "-maxlvl" to raise all minions and buildings instantly to max level.
  • Quests added to explain the different new options.
  • Increased HP Regeneration of Watch Towers (Level 1-10 and 10-20).
Heroes & Spells
  • Heroes which try to leave the base before the game started will be instantly moved back to the base.
  • The range for shared XP from allied minions kills is reduced from 1600 to 1000/1100/1200 (hero kills/units kills/building kills). Stand within that radius to get XP and gold from allied minions when they kill something. "-altplay" deactivates this function.
  • Rokhan:
    • Star Shower: Fixed Hotkey (W) to learn the spell.
  • Maim:
    • Phantasm: Added an aura glow to the illusion of Phantasm
  • Maim+Nikoro:
    • Cutting Edge: Reduced damage from 150+30xLevel to 150+25xLevel.
    • Phantasm: Is now preloaded (but I don't guarantee it will not lag when cast for the first time).
  • Rexxar, Balnazzar, Muradin, Chen, Cairne: Increased their animation movement speed of their "Q" ability (which are all from the Charge Spell System) such that it looks now more like they are running (and not walking.)
  • Kael'thas:
    • Fire and Ice Synergie:
      • is now MUI. See here.
      • Changed the damage and the damage rate accordingly.
      • Reduced the AoE from 500 to 400.
      • Cooldown reduced by 10 seconds.
  • Tyrande:
    • Burning Arrow is now created at the right position. See here.
    • Starfall: Damage rate increased from 1.50s to 0.3 seconds. Damage reduced accordingly, but in total the damage is higher than before.

Respect, I used to use the OS X world editor for many years. But why not update and use the latest editor version? It adds some useful new features and I believe the sound issues have been ironed out by now.

I don't know how... ?

I just downloaded the newest patch from blizzard (Standard 1.30.4.11274 for Mac, and Public Test 1.30.11256 for Mac), but neither has a World Editor with it.
Then I downloaded the Windows version and tried to install it with CrossOver on a XP, Windows7 and Windows10 bottle.
Only Windows XP Version managed to download and install the game, but then when I launch it, it wants to ask for the license key but the program crashes immediately and i can only force quit.
The windows 7 and 10 bottles don't even manage to download the game, it gives an "controlled" error from the blizzard app itself.

BTW: I used for this map also CrossOver, with Warcraft 1.27.0.52240 on a Windows XP bottle.
And:
From the patch 1.27 patch notes:
