Greetings Lungdrache. The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• THW Chat

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

open maps, check terrain contest etc etc, check terrain board and people showcases, explore user albums, search Hive... You can always ask some user for help, join to Chat room sometimes (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/apps.php?p=gochat)

I will give you 1/5 mark (because I don't like map or map breaks rules) and must vote for rejection (same) and report map to moderator! (to check your map)
But don't worry, when you finish your map just update this one and ask moderator to unlock it so people can leave comments etc etc!

Greetings -Kobas-,
and also hi to everyone else who remembers this glorious disaster!

Back when I uploaded that map... I was 15 years old.
I barely spoke English, had no clue what I was doing, and honestly I didn't care if it was good or bad.
I just wanted to make stuff. I wasn't looking for tutorials or structure, I just threw things together and hit upload.

Looking back now, with 30 years on the clock...
Yup. It was bad. Really bad. Like... “how did this even make any Sense!?” kind of bad.

I read through your comment again,
and I have to say, you were spot on!

And surprisingly patient, considering the quality you were responding to.


So, here's the deal:
I’ve grown a lot since then.
I learned English, programming, game development, 3D art, and a bunch of other things.
And now – after all these years – I’ve decided:

I’m going to fix that mess.
Not just tweak it – completely overhaul it.

Why? Because making Warcraft III maps still gives me this warm, nostalgic feeling I can’t shake.

So yes, this is my unofficial re-announcement of a very old and very broken project!
I'm working on a proper remake, with actual effort, care – and maybe even terrain this time
No promises on timeframes (life is chaotic), but it’s something I want to do right.

Thanks again for the original feedback – and for anyone who still remembers the map:
Get ready to be surprised!
(Or at least less horrified than last time.)


All the best,
Lungdrache

Quick Update – Yes, I'm really reworking this!


Hey folks,
this is just a very quick update to show that I’m actively reworking the map!


I know this isn't a proper Work-in-Progress thread, so I’ll keep it short:


New Map = New version – much more terrain detail, balanced layout
Old Map = Old version – super basic and... well... not very playable


I’m rushing a bit right now and have more stuff to do tomorrow,
but I didn’t want to wait to show that progress is being made!


I'll upload the actual reworked version soon.
Until then – enjoy this little preview snapshot!
