Sasquatch Secret Society (SSS)
Submitted by Leods
Here's my short review:
First A sasquatch using centaur tents is not a good combination.
- There are so many trigger leaks here. Please refer to Basic Memory Leaks
- The camera is fixed at the center of the map where the hero is not located. Position the camera where the hero is.
- I don't know what to do in game. There are just too many text blocking the screen. These should be cleared out after a minute or two.
- Terrain is too simple, do something more about this.
For now, I think this must be in AWAITING UPDATE

- I don't know what to do in game. There are just too many text blocking the screen. These should be cleared out after a minute or two.

The same as in many other RPG. I explained everything about quests in the principal quests section. The text is cleared out after to minutes, if i don't remember bad. The time is large, beacuse they are the game characters, and it can explain you how to play the game.

First A sasquatch using centaur tents is not a good combination.

The adventages of using Sasquatch: There are not any information about them. The name of the house in WE means nothing.


About the other things, I will see it I can change them, being it's a contest entry.
Also, I can't do anything for a week: I am on vacations.

AWAITING UPDATE

Well, maybe for the memory leaks, but, also using all the map functions, there is no Lag, and obviously there is no crushing game, so this leaks cant be considerated as a breaker of

- No game breaking bugs / mostly leakless triggers.

this rule, being that, if there are to much leak triggers, There will be lag.

Based on contest reviews: Abelhawk's Mini-Mapping Contest #15 - Results

This needs more work, fixes and even more content if possible.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Map updated.

 

[deepstrasz]

I don't think the Arena tag fits. It's mostly a sort of RPG.

Not sure what has been updated but I got the forest troll quest two times.
Also, all players are in the same team and the map can't be started in multiplayer.

Awaiting Update.

Not sure what has been updated

Well...

1. The camera doesn't start where your hero is but in the dark middle of the map. Solved
2. Quests are linear. They are leveling quests. The principal point is the PvP
3. Mostly Warcraft III usual spells, some renamed, like Berserk->Enraged. I tryed to reinvent them, now, knowing that doesn't work, I an thinking in other spells
4. Hearthstone says it teleports the Sasquatch home not somewhere of choice. Solved
5. I'm fine thanks=home!? This is confusing. I thought it meant, cancel. Solved
6. Forest Trolls quest spammed three times in the quest log and one of the was completed. Here, i don't understand what is happening. I moved the "turn off" to the upside of the trigger, but it still happening. But, being that it can be finished only one time, i think it's a minor bug
7. The Sasquatch Mother scrolls shouldn't have cooldown or at least a faster one. Waiting for it takes time and isn't fun. Solved
8. When you teleport, the camera should pan on the hero's position. Solved
9. You should be able to teleport back going to the flower circle of the region you are in instead of always using the Hearthstone. The latter should be for emergencies. It's intentional. If you can just teleport in any moment, you could use that to take bosses to the Sasquatch base.
10. You get messages for killing units that you've completed quests for. I'm not sure about that
11. Spider Sword has no active ability. If you click on it nothing happens. And, it doesn't provide attack against air units. Well, i think i solved that
    
12. You can complete the Spider Queen two times if you go to the quest giver again quickly. I think i solved that too
13. Sometimes when taking quests or going to NPCs you get the message "little spider killed".
14. Ah, I think I know why it appeared because little spiders appear in the Sasquatch base to the north and they are killed by the 7th level Sasquatch Oracle. They are for the same, i think it isn't bad.
15. The Abomination you spawn with the scepter cannot use the abilities because it needs the upgrades. Solved
16. Honestly, the Destroyer's abilities aren't that good. Previous Sasquatch classes had better ones. Not solved at all, but i gived them better statistics. That should help
17. You have to turn triggers off when reaching an NPC to finish a quest. Your triggers turn off only after their transmission ends which means you can trigger the reward multiple times until then. Solved
18. When the scepter Abomination expires or is killed, the message "Abomination killed" appears. I'm not sure about that. I have a theory
19. The unally thing is pretty annoying, you'd be better off playing the game alone. You shouldn't. Without help, you cant fight with any boss
20. The problem with the demon artifacts is that you can't drop them. Intentional. It promotes the PvP
21. The Abomination scepter creates cooldown for all demonic items. Did you use the same cooldown group and/or order ID? Sane with the other demon items. Intentional. If you can use all the arctifacts at same time, you will be very OP
22. Bash should be hidden when using Charge so abilities won't move positions. Or at least, make it appear above Scream. I don't remember if I solved that or don't
23. 10 minutes as the lord? What if you kill every ally by then? As I sayed, they will just respawn

26/45%

Aesthetics

1. The problem with the name is that you're giving away the Easter Egg. It isn't for the name of the map, but for the same nature of it. I must say it is impossible to fix
2. Fuerza instead of Force or anything else in English, preferably. I'm not sure about where this happen, so I can't solve that
3. Hero units could benefit from glow: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling Solved
4. The terrain is nice but could be better. It's pretty much old school but a lot of it is flat. I tryed to make it less flat, hope that works
   
5. Some spells like Enraged don't have a visible hotkey in the title. "Enraged (E)"
6. You get a message that you've killed a sort of unit but don't get the number and total of killed units. Yeah, the Player must remember the number of kills
7. Defense Aura should look passive. You can make it so with this: Button Manager v1.8.2 About that, i can't found the In-Game files, to change it
8. You should not use hero models for units because they have no decay animation and their bodies remain on the ground for long periods of time. Well, not solved.

22/31 solved problems. The other things aren't so bad, i must say.
Also, i added a lot of new content. The players start in the same team because, if they didn't, there would be a great slaughter at the beginning of the game, something that would not help the new ones. If you want to make an enemy of a player, it's as simple as attacking him

The map cant be open on multiplayer? It just don't open? That's really strange. I will see that soon.
So far, I guess this is fine where it is.

 

[deepstrasz]

The map cant be open on multiplayer? It just don't open? That's really strange. I will see that soon.

Just make every player be in a different team.

 

[Leods]

I updated this map Yesterday, I hope I solved the bugs, also, I added a reward for kill Sasquatch.

 

[deepstrasz]

Everyone is still in the same team so it cannot be started in multiplayer.

 

[Leods]

They aren't. I specifically changed that.
Maybe, I forgot to upload the correct file. I will see it in a few hours.
Edit: Correctly map added. Every force has 2 players, who can see each other.

 

[eubz]

Please, make the titles the same

 

[deepstrasz]

Please, make the titles the same

Yeah, why is the thread name Defenders of Nature and the map's Secret Sasquatch Society?

You should rename Fuerza to Force.

Changes made,
Approved.

Hmmm... I'm not sure haha.

You should rename Fuerza to Force.

Again, I didn't found where that appears.

 

[deepstrasz]

Again, I didn't found where that appears.

In the game before you start the map.

Contact me to ask for a bug, or just leave your opinion!
I have no problem with the negative criticism, as long as you justify it.
