🕹 Funmap Evening Event 🕹

[MiniMage]

I'm surprised you guys had strength to continue with another game after having played that game for three hours.

 

[IcemanBo]

Waiting for some replays! ;D

 

[Paillan]

Waiting for some replays! ;D

yeah, maybe a youtube video?

 

[Ash]

I meant to stream it, but a few days ago I reformatted my PC and forgot to set up openbroadcaster. Maybe next time, if someone reminds me!

 

[WaterKnight]

The replays are on (see first post bottom).

 

[SuperScruffy]

Aww damn, I didn't check hive often enough

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

If you're a regular on social media, you can always get an advanced notice from our HiveWorkshop Twitter or Hive Workshop (thworkshop) Facebook.

But don't worry, there is always the potential and possibility for other multiplayer events in this forum! And of course, there's always next time for the funmap evening.

 

[Ralle]

You may want to keep an eye on this forum also:

I want to join next time. Site development has stolen enough of my Hive presence already .

 

[Rhorhan]

When will the next Funmap Evening Event be? I'm going to visit my sister next week, she also enjoys playing Wc3, maybe we could join if there is one?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Are we able to do Wednesday through Friday ones? I can't do weekends as much during June through August, but I can do can usually play any time Wed-Fri and most times during Monday and Tuesday.

If so, I suggest one this week

I suport this, I am on vacation (south hemisphere heck yeah) so I have plenty of time.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Ok, how about one this week? Even Saturday is okay for me, but not Sunday. Any time this week I'm available.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Hi,

Fun map evening on Saturday 5PM UTC.

24HR MAPPING COMPETITION STARTING FRIDAY 5PM UTC.

Love,
Coke and frotty

 

[Paillan]

hell yeah!
Now that I finally recovered my original game I will try to join both!

 

[Ralle]

@WaterKnight Will you post the usual notice here?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

WaterKnight hasn't been around in a few days. I'm not sure if he'll be there.

 

[Ralle]

The thread Wc3 Fun Mapmaking Challenge would need someone to post in it as well. I am feeling that we should have given people two weeks. How many people will even have the time to enter?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Done.

Please feel free to discuss challenge theme. Historically we've done them based on map genre like AoS, defense, etc, but we are open to new ideas.

 

[Ralle]

What's the theme?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

It gets decided at the start (Friday at 5:30 UTC). This prevents people from thinking too much about the project, which defeats the purpose of it being something fun and disposable.

 

[Paillan]

New ideas for the funmap you say? may I post them here or in the funmap thread?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Anywhere I don't care. There shouldn't be two different threads IMO.

 

[Paillan]

The "unexpected team" challenge. Participants will be given teams a minute before the challenge starts, a team work is expected of course.
The "extra restriction" challenge. Aside from theme restriction and word restriction, one extra restriction, for example: no land, no units, Only land, Only air, Only heroes, etc.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Unexpected team sounds fun but I would be annoyed if I got stuck writing vjass, no wurst, and no git. Still, sounds fun.

Extra restriction sounds cool but I bet we could think of better examples. For example, no basic attacks, no wc3 movement, no premade terrain, etc.

 

[Wietlol]

"no wc3 movement"

Even I am a bit skeptical about this, because it adds a ton of cpu usage.

 

[Paillan]

"no wc3 movement"

What is this sorcery? what even is no wc3 movement? heresy!

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Dunno, you can do all kinds of stuff, like blink only, turn based, sliding only?

I will post in the other thread, but FYI, by WaterKnight's request, any map making challenge will not be an official one - it will not have the usual theme. It will be something more casual. Join chat for discussion.

 

[WaterKnight]

Announcement Note

Date of appointment: 6th of August (Saturday) 5.30pm (UTC)
Meeting spot: Chat of Hiveworkshop
Hosting bot accessibility: Battle.net Northrend, Azeroth, Eurobattle.net?

Pay attention to changed time zone and meeting place.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

As discussed, we are not doing an official map making challenge. However, at least two of us are making maps with the following theme:

* Air units only
* No basic attacks

If that sounds fun, join us in chat! QuakeNet Web IRC (qwebirc)

 

[A]mun]

Hopefully this time...

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

See you guys in 10 hours.

Also,
@Ralle @Archian @Ash @Keiji @fladdermasken
could someone make a notice for it?

 

[ZerGreenOne]

I'm pretty sure this is basically the final map. I don't know what to add to it. Actually, I think I will withdraw it and re-post it when it is totally and utterly finished.

Actually, I wish I hadn't taken down my upload. I accidentally saved over my backup version I had for this upload, and now I only have a buggy version that hopefully works OK enough. If someone downloaded mine in the short time it was up, I think it is better than my current version. I'm not entirely sure though, I added a death animation that is working well, and I don't know if the bugs were present in the original. Not too major, either, just visual bugs that occur when someone is dead.

Actually, I don't really know. It is supposed to indicate it when someone is dead, and it doesn't do that for some reason that I really am not sure of, but otherwise it seems fine.

Actually, I wish I wouldn't keep editing my map and breaking it entirely.

Well, it still seems to work fine-ish. I think I really do believe that any bugs in this version would have been in the other version, and I am sure I fixed a few bugs between now and then, and added a few things. I do think that this version is better.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Reminder: Fun Map evening begins in 5hrs 15mins

 

[fladdermasken]

could someone make a notice for it?

Done.

 

[Ralle]

I brought my laptop and mouse to where I am located now and planned to install War3, but I am just not feeling too well. Been suffering from the flu since Thursday.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Reminder: Funmap Evening begins in 56 minutes.

We will be in the inwc chat room: QuakeNet Web IRC (qwebirc)

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Join for games!

Edit: I'm retarded; 530 UTC is 1 hour from now.

Meeting in 1 hour

 

[Paillan]

Everyone who participated in this last funmap evening please send me a picture of their hive profile so I can use it in my video preview :V

 

[Ralle]

How did it go?

 

[wTc[JediMaster]]

@Paillan Can't you just ask/dubble check with some of the people who were there? takeing a picture/screen shoot of our hive profile seems like hard work
Me, waterknight, canfight, cokemonkey11, tank-commander, killapie2, frotty, wietlol, visuv, minimage, soxu123 and stopcampingn00b where there.
noctosphere and some others might have been there aswell tho they did not play alot.

@Ralle Think most would say it went ok, we were like 8+ people and more seems to come on these events then just random days/nights

 

[Cokemonkey11]

We had a couple of 12 player full houses, and only once had 13 players so couldn't all play.

@Tank-Commander, @Wietlol, @MiniMage, @Paillan, and @Reaver were kind enough to indulge me in a game of battleships into the wee hours of the morning, so the night lasted over 7.5 hours

Also, huge props to @ZerGreenOne, @Reaver, @Paillan, and @Bitchmoon who made "Air only, no basic attacks" maps for the 24-hour challenge.

And an honorable mention to @Kino who made a 1-player map

The danger in doing shout-outs like this is forgetting someone, so I apologize if I made that mistake!

The biggest thanks of all to @WaterKnight for managing to make it in spite of his schedule, and providing use of his bot as well. I have only two of the replays but here they are: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/f486e8d0f11f4ba354e405c773e811c47005/

 

[Wietlol]

Paillan was kind enough to make it a fair fight 2v3

Thanks for providing me names, I am going to stalk the hive for all this profiles :3

Edit: Could not find in hive members: Canfight, visuv and soxu123 :c

 

[Wietlol]

CanFight is Reaver
visuv and soxu idk
maybe Bitchmoon is one of 'em.

 

[Paillan]

tank U. Hopefully they appear somewhere.

 

[Wietlol]

Ow no, Bitchmoon couldnt come because he couldnt get WC3 to work... or at least Battle.net I think.

 

[Ralle]

Awesome, wish I was there. I am feeling much better... Timing. Were the 24 hour maps any good?

 

[Paillan]

The first map was a bit buggy and also had no instructions what so ever.
Dragons is a good once, I just tested it.
I don't think we played loveless land
My map was tested and buged, but after bug clearing it was much better.
I am currently uploading the video, but it so heavy I am also rendering it again. If the re render is more than 70% less heavy than the original, I am going to upload that one.

 

[MiniMage]

I joined in fairly late. So of the 24 hour maps, was not much. The first map I was in was a kind of dota game where my hero was a soul stealing dog that could steal souls. I was terrible at the game, but we won. followed by a game of battleships where I had lots of fun as well as won in a fun manner, then we discussed what to play for a long time and then we played a game of blood tournament. Then while we waited, we tried to play Dragons. One of us got kicked upon starting it, so the others left. That was our experience with dragons. Then we played a game with helicopters, I died 50 times within the span of a couple of minutes, I was not amused. The game was pretty well coded though. With missiles, flying mines and other fancy stuff. WaterKnight won.

Then we played one final game of battleships where a mistake from my end got our asses handed to us. I spent a minor fortune on a submarine while others could see invisible. Basically, the mistake was like I had started over from the beginning. All in all, I joined at about ~21:00 and I called it a day somewhere around 04:50 in hte morning, the day after. How long was this gaming event by the way? You guys had at least been playing a couple hours before I joined and continued with even more games after I had left.

before that there was 2 games, one helicopter race and a dragons.
after that we played my map.
