[FINISHED] Spells and Systems Mini Contest #8

PurplePoot · Nov 11, 2007

No reason it wouldn't be.

PurplePoot · Nov 11, 2007

I think you mean 2-1 (JS and me.)
And I got mine fixed, I hope there is an extension so my entry doesn't get disqualified for editing past the deadline..
Also, I think anyone could benefit from an extra week.
--donut3.5--

Only entrants count, it wouldn't be fair otherwise.

(As far as I know you weren't entering, since yours had a bug you couldn't find)

donut3.5 · Nov 11, 2007

Oh my bad. When he said he made his spell with the wrong theme, I thought he meant he actually made it x.x
--donut3.5--

PurplePoot · Nov 11, 2007

He did =o

I meant that you didn't afaik. (Blah, especially since you didn't leave the old map)

donut3.5 · Nov 11, 2007

I can post the version with the bug if you want. I know what I did to fix it

--donut3.5--

Dil999 · Nov 11, 2007

Do I count as an entrant? Just because I never posted doesnt mean Im not entering. I say extend it.

AlexM · Nov 11, 2007

I dont know extend or not. I stay out of the vote^^.(Conuts as yes/no)

HINDYhat · Nov 11, 2007

I'll probably make a spell today anyway, even if this isn't extended. I say extend!

PurplePoot · Nov 11, 2007

Blah, extend I guess, since we have 2/1/1 right now (I guess donut technically does count)

K guys, new deadline is next week. First post updated.

donut3.5 · Nov 11, 2007

Yay!
I finished my final version, it's attached to here.
--donut3.5--

Parrothead · Nov 11, 2007

Can we still enter? I would like to.

Edit: "You may not submit more then two spells"

Can we submit one spell that can be clicked and has a passive ability?

PurplePoot · Nov 11, 2007

Edit: "You may not submit more then two spells"

Where'd that come from?

Can we submit one spell that can be clicked and has a passive ability?

Yes, that's one spell.

Can we still enter? I would like to.

See above?

Modo · Nov 11, 2007

(Unless it has already been decided)

I have two major schools of thought on the extension of the contest. I would say no because I have a higher chance of success with less competition :wink:

and it was easily possible to complete a spell in a week for everyone else.

I say yes because it looks like the theme is "Make a new mana burn"

Overall I would like to say no because keeping within theme and time is the responsibility of the entrant. I had to drop out of the techtree contest because I didn't have time to fix my bugs

If it is decided to give an extension, I wont raise a stink about it. I will accept it and move on.

PurplePoot · Nov 12, 2007

Blah, well the vote ended up being 2/2/1, so it kinda should be extended <IMO>

And yeah, usually I don't like extending contests, but when there's a short one and a week may double the entries, sometimes it's nice to.

And the theme isn't exactly "Make a new manaburn", though you could

Just_Spectating · Nov 12, 2007

Cool, so is this extended? because i have to start over on my ability because the one i posted wasnt the right theme.

CarrionMan19 · Nov 12, 2007

Are there any spells apart from Mana Burn that fit the theme?

Just_Spectating · Nov 12, 2007

use creativity.

CarrionMan19 · Nov 12, 2007

Wait, is it OK to enter with an aura?

Just_Spectating · Nov 12, 2007

if it manipulates spells.

Razorbrain · Nov 12, 2007

beware my spell fellow members!

Nether Conversion

With the use of the Nether, the Mage targets a unit, friend or foe, and converts the buffs the target carries into new, fresh buffs. The Nether Conversion can convert good buffs into bad ones, and vice versa and does not remove nor add any Aura Buffs.

Level 1 - Converts 1 Buff into 1 random Level 1 Buff
Level 2 - Converts 2 Buffs into 2 random Level 2 Buffs
Level 3 - Converts 3 Buffs into 3 random Level 3 Buffs

Just_Spectating · Nov 12, 2007

arg razorbrain, my spell is sorta like yours.

PurplePoot · Nov 13, 2007

Just_Spectating said:

*Manipulates things to do with spells. (Mana, spells themselves, etc)

Very lame example: Spell Shield Aura.

Modo · Nov 13, 2007

When I said this contest looks more like make a new mana burn, I meant that 2/4 (?) entrants made mana burning spells. My spell is Unshakling, which makes summons attack their master. They die upon the finishing of the spell, as it suits the background I made for the spell, but I think it should keep the summons around. I guess it depends on how you want to use it. The spell is easily modified.

If you are looking for my spell in this contest, you should look at the first couple of pages. I have a post with 2 edits and my map is attached. Can someone look at it and tell me what they think?

PurplePoot · Nov 13, 2007

From the idea it sounds great - I'll test it out tomorrow when I'm not tired

Just_Spectating · Nov 13, 2007

Submission

This is my submission till i see any bugs or if anything is wrong with it.

Depending on the amount of mana the hero has, will give an allied unit as many positive buffs proportional to the amount of mana the hero has, or a negative buff to an enemy proportional.

Level 1 - Every 300 mana will give a buff
Level 2 - Every 250 mana will give a buff
Level 3 - Every 200 mana will give a buff

Just_Spectating · Nov 13, 2007

so how many people made mana burning spells anyway?

donut3.5 · Nov 13, 2007

Mine is like a mana burn/mana drain with some extras.
--donut3.5--

AlexM · Nov 14, 2007

Mine is mainly buff-remover but also chains based on buff number of first target and burns mana. Also full MUI^^.

Just_Spectating · Nov 17, 2007

ooo, that was quick.

PurplePoot · Nov 17, 2007

Oops, I thought it was Saturday. Opened for another day.

Just_Spectating · Nov 17, 2007

>< you could of really made people delete their maps on accident.

PurplePoot · Nov 17, 2007

I doubt it, but meh. I think everyone has already submitted anyways.

PurplePoot · Nov 17, 2007

K, now it's the right time :P

Contest Closed

.

donut3.5 · Nov 17, 2007

Actually you're an hour early

Unless the GMT on this site lies...
--donut3.5--

HINDYhat · Nov 17, 2007

lol shit, I forgot to make a spell again.

Meh, 'till next time.

PurplePoot · Nov 18, 2007

Blah, my eyesight lies, but I wouldn't've killed people if they submitted a 'lil late (ie like an hour or two) anyways.

CarrionMan19 · Nov 18, 2007

YYAAYY!! Contest is closed... Oh and um good luck to the contestants...

PurplePoot · Nov 18, 2007

Modo - Unshaking

Idea: 5 points

Very original, and quite nice.
Triggering: 2 points

Any units would attack the target (that were owned by the same player), not just his summons. It also wasn't MUI, and leaked a bit.
In-Game Playability: 1 point

It would have been great, however the fact that it hit all their units, not just summons of the target, really degraded from it.
Visual Effects: 1 point

While it hid well the fact that they changed owner, it could've used a some visuals on the target/caster while channeling.
Theme: 2 points

The spell matches the theme well, in theory, but not so much in practice.
Total: 11 points

It would have been a lot better had it not done it to all their units.

Cuttle - Mana Leech

Idea: 5 points

Very original.
Triggering: 5 points

Well coded, but it would be nice if you indented in the future .
In-Game Playability: 3 points

It was imbalanced, but if the stats were tweaked it would be fine, with no other modifications necessary.
Visual Effects: 1 point

Looks good, but sorry, I have to take a point off since you used a custom icon. (Against the rules)
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 17 points

Not really anything to complain about (except read the rules!).

AlexM - Penality

Idea: 5 points

Very original.
Triggering: 3 points

Pretty well done, but leaks and is not MUI.
In-Game Playability: 3 points

It would be a very good support spell.
Visual Effects: 2 points

Looked nice, nothing to complain about.
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 16 points

Nice in general, but your triggerwork could use work.

donut3.5 - Soul Suck

Idea: 4 points

Fairly original, somewhat like a mass mana burn though.
Triggering: 5 points

Your JASS skills are definitely improving .
In-Game Playability: 3 points

It would be a very good offensive spell (damned casters!).
Visual Effects: 2 points

Looked nice, nothing to complain about.
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 17 points

Other than being a bit too much like Mana Burn, well done!

Admax - Magic Thirst Ray

Idea: 4 points

Original, but a little confusing (Keep the spell a little simpler!).
Triggering: 5 points

Well coded, but I suggest using Coordinates in the future.
In-Game Playability: 2 points

It would be fairly effective, if the caster worked out what it fully did.
Visual Effects: 2 points

Looked nice, nothing to complain about.
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 16 points

Well done, except for the confusion factor.

Razorbrain - Nether Conversion

Idea: 5 points

Original, simple, and cool!
Triggering: 5 points

The triggering was a little crazy, but it wouldn't be too easy for it not to be.
In-Game Playability: 3 points

It would be very effective (Imagine losing your bloodlust to ensnare/slow/cripple ).
Visual Effects: 2 points

Looked nice, nothing to complain about.
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 18 points

Very nice.

Just_Spectating - Charmed Conversion

Idea: 5 points

Original, simple, and nice.
Triggering: 5 points

The triggering was... long, but a shorter script would be much harder to make.
In-Game Playability: 2 points

It would be very effective, but a little confusing - some of the buffs (for example Howl of Terror) that were positive seemed to actually be negative.
Visual Effects: 2 points

Looked nice, nothing to complain about.
Theme: 3 points

The spell matches the theme well.
Total: 17 points

Very nice.

Razorbrain wins! Congratulations to all contestants.

Razorbrain · Nov 18, 2007

doggie_man · Dec 5, 2007

Yeh, I want it so start I have a good spell I have been working on for a long time.

Just_Spectating · Dec 5, 2007

PurplePoot · Dec 5, 2007

Ooh, i forgot to unstick this. ~Done~
