Please don't abuse the map type. Mini-Game, Miscellanous / Other, Shooting / FPS. Only one is allowed. I'l check this in a few days when you get some feedback from other people aswell.

Very fun game there was only a couple "problems" not really problems just kinda bothered me a little but its still 5/5

1)If possible you should make wind blow in direction of wind

2)

(the other player i was playing with said he could not see floating trees so it must be view for player 2 only)


+rep
+approval
+fun map for 2 people to play

 

[max_dan]

pretty nice but the wind is confusing and you should remove the trees

 

[Septimus]

1) Description - Neat, tidy and interesting. It even provide every single necessary detail, good work.
2) Terrain - Excellent work, with random generator; the terrain would never get bored of it.
3) Fun/Replayability - Very nice, but it would be boring after awhile. This probably because the lack of ability. Adding a ability might probably increase the replayability of it, the current game seems like you only need a good accuracy to play it.
4) Originality - For this, I would said it was about 50/50. It seems like it was a recreation of gunbound game at warcraft 3 version.

It was indeed a good material, a few more touch up and it would deserve a 5/5. My vote was 4/5.

 

[baboolaba]

hmmm an interesting map concept and design. i like the style of skins used and how the map can be used offline so ill go fire it up on b.net and check it out

If possible you should make wind blow in direction of wind

It doesn't?

bounty hunter2's Review on Cannon Commander 1.00

Proper resource crediting √
Proper description √
Proper author name √
Doesn't crash √

Cannon Commander 1.00 is a mini game for up to two players. Each player has a cannon at his disposal, and he must destroy his opponent. His opponent cannon is located at the other side of the hill, and that hill is separating them. You must precisely calibrate your cannon and with a few hits destroy your opponents.

The idea itself is quite original, I remember playing this game in the past, however I don't remember I had seen a map like this ever before.

The terrain fits the game, however it is nothing special. The tiles could be varied a bit better. Trees can be often seen flying high in the air or just floating.

The scripting was great, just like in your other maps. However there was a problem with the wind indeed. The clouds were flying in the same direction always, however the wind would shift. The menus didn't show the winds direction, or perhaps I missed it.

The gameplay itself was fun at the beginning, but it would soon become boring. It lacks more abilities and game modes. Perhaps various types of cannons to choose from. And the cameras can get pretty annoying when shifting to your cannon ball hit.

To conclude, a nicely done Mini Game, perhaps a candidate for the winner of the Speed Mapping Contest? I didn't see the rest but yours is quite good. 3/5 (Useful) is certanlly to low a rating to a such original and well scripted map, thus 4/5 (Recommended) and Approval.

 

[i_mOck_death]

It doesn't?

lol ya nvm wind does blow, what i meant to say was for the clouds to blow in the winds direcection if possible sry about that >>

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Pay attention to the flags and the blue wind speed indicator...

Check out those flags besides the cannons, they'll show you the current wind direction.
The skies have nothing to do with the wind at all - they're just decorations.

Hope I've cleared that up.

 

[i_mOck_death]

hahaha i know that i was just askign for a matter of consitency cause clouds do move with wind.

It doesnt change game paly factor or anything was just wondering if you could to make your game look more "pretty"

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I could, but I won't update the map before the contest is over.

 

[i_mOck_death]

thats good enof for me lol ^^

 

[kyle150]

Nice map.

Should be an option for simultaneous play with a cooldown on fire. Let the wind change every X seconds or something.

Could be a very fast pace cannon game.

 

[Coolty44]

Wow, this game is great, I like it, but maybe you could change the counter for the amount of balls you have to something in the inventory of something, because I couldn't figure out were it was until I really started to look at the HP and strength of the shot counters. Also, blues cannon turns really easily, but reds is fairly slow.

Other then that its an amazing game, I woudn't be suprised if you won the contest

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Also, blues cannon turns really easily, but reds is fairly slow.

Then red has pressed the Fine Tuning ability (D). Use it again to return to normal turning speed.

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Omg -.-
bounty hunter2, I can't find any reason that this map deserves no Highly Recommended. You are pretty new as Map Mod so far I know so I can understand if you can't always rate properly, but THIS should be clear...

 

[Wazzz]

Holy shit... this map is freakin' awesome.

Honestly, how do you guys do it? You get Warcraft 3, a pretty simple game, and turn it into the most interesting creations. First was Modern Warfare, undeniable proof that you were able to transform one game into a completely different one, despite the lack of... originality. Then along comes this one (as far as I know, I don't know if you guys have made any other maps or not ).

This map reminds me of the classic worms games, only you can't move your 'worm' and only have one weapon to use. Nonetheless, the 3D option and the fact you've made it so well more than makes up for this. I just wish that you guys worked more on gameplay (despite you making up for the lack of different weapons with other features, it would have been better to have more variety and playability. After all, a map is nothing, not matter how pretty, without a good, solid gameplay).

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

You talk like there's two of me.
→ Illidan(evil)x and Sourc[e]x is the same person.

This map reminds me of the classic worms games, only you can't move your 'worm' and only have one weapon to use.

Creating a 'Worms' type of game was actually my original idea.
But, because of the limited amount of time for the speed-mapping competition, I had to cut it to the bare minimum, and came up with this little mini-game instead.

I may add more content to Cannon Commander later on -- after the contest has ended.

 

[Wazzz]

Haha, you sound like you're two people and do enough work to be two people, so I think you might as well be two people

Jks, jks, jks. I am happy I stumbled upon your original idea, I had a feeling that was your inspiration. How do you make such awesome maps, and all by yourself? Damn, I wish I could get the effects you get...

Perhaps you could help me? Like with triggering for awesome effects, tips and such in that regard...? Well, anywayz, just send a PM if you want

I actually can't believe you're just one person. You do all the mapping, triggering, modelling and EVERYTHING by yourself. I for one can't trigger and actually wouldn't know where to start with modelling . The only things I really can do are mapping, terraining and ultimately getting a good gameplay out of whatever resources I have at hand (I usually ask for help with triggering, though >.<)

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Dissociative Identity Disorder much? Nah, just a side-effect of having various usernames at various forums.

How do you make such awesome maps, and all by yourself?

Years of WarCraft modding experience. Mostly.

I actually can't believe you're just one person. You do all the mapping, triggering, modelling and EVERYTHING by yourself.

Skillz. You better start believe in it.

Well... I can, but I won't be the one to take the initiative.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Greatest Mini-Game i've seen so far. I hope i do not become too desperate, but i tried adding a custom ttf font in my map, though it did not work. Is scripting issue or Interface thing required -cause i saw no relevant change to Interface? Or because it is Single player, it has a small hack? 5/5 by the way.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Wahaha! I've got 1.01 ready, but the voting hasn't even started.

 

[RiotGuard]

It's a great game but if the wind is blowing towards you at close to full power its impossible to get a hit on the opponent.

 

[syltman]

Reminds me alot of this game Conquer Antarctica Game at Free Online Games .com aka (FOG.COM)

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Awesome map, I liked it a lot. It's a classic.
The only thing i didn't really get was the wind. It was so hard to read the thing at the top and there was times where it was impossible to hit my enemy in 2D mode.
5/5 though

 

[Kam]

Found it.

This is great, it's like pocket tanks.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

In multiplayer? Press escape and the "New Platform: 3D" button. Now just wait for the other player to accept this change.

 

[Kam]

How did you get the clouds? I would love to have rolling clouds in a melee map.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Here.

The movement is scripted.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Updated to 1.01.

EDIT: 1.01b

 

[_Kuh_]

This was the first PC-Game i've ever played <3

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Due to camera and stuffs, is still avalible to put more than 2 players in this map ? At least 2 vs.2 vs. 2 if not 3+x vs. 3+x.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Not without rescripting a large portion of the map.

 

[Guishiu]

OMG, I loved it! Excellent work. Even my wife liked it. As soon as she walked in the room and seen it, she said it was "Soo cute!", nice job.

 

[syltman]

I really like UIs off your maps!

 

[Wazzz]

Okay, I am really happy to see the addition of new weapons

Not quite what I was expecting, but I actually find the weapons you created to be better than, for example, the choice you get in Worms (so many weapons, but almost all of them explode! Samey :S). Mind you, sending an Old Woman at your enemies to watch her explode from suspected bowel mistreatment is somewhat entertaining .

Having the timed one is interesting indeed, and the small one is cool, too. I wonder how many different weapons you could add with such an indepth tactical perspective? Perhaps, for a later version, there could be a Cluster Missile (heavily effected by wind, explodes to release missiles that do half damage [i.e. small missiles], does normal damage on impact), a Rolling Missile (half/normal damage, effected by wind normally/a little more, rolls along ground for a small distance... prlly not the best idea )... that's about it for now

Although, you could make missiles like the Cluster Missile and Rolling Missile a little better (i.e. Cluster Missile effected normally by wind and Rolling Missile does normal damage and is effected normally by wind) in exchange for making them take more ammunition (or whatever you call the thing you use the food to represent ). Just an idea, if it is used, I'd thing the Cluster Missile would prlly take 2 shots while the Rolling Missile would prlly take 3.

All in all, nice map! Hope to see more weapons

 

[Vuormalainen]

fucking sick!

 

[danny-345o]

you need to update so it work with the new patch

 

[mikey4555]

Not working with the new update. >.>

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I know..

I'll need to go through every line of code in this to figure out why it isn't working on patch 1.24b.

 

[Explosive_Bread]

Dang, this doesn't work anymore after the new patch.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Cannon Commander now finally works on patch 1.24b+

Enjoy

 

[LostFlip]

WOW illidan you make maps that are so unique!
i likey!

 

[pippo]

How do you change wc3 font???

 

[WONDERWOMAN]

The graphical interface is excellent, and is really good as mini-game. my vote 5/5, however it can be improved, I am currently making a map where each player builds towers for use in the same way that the cannons in this game.
Try reducing the speed of the cannon ball so you can see the shadow crossing the field without the camera follows the projectile and the effect is better, also the random terrain can be improved believe me. After finish my map, you may test it and you will see of what i'm talking about. Not my intention to compare a map that still have not uploaded yet, I have seen your other maps and the ambience is really so good that it does not seem the warcraft game engine.
