I've tried to map a few maps before this one and failed bad.

Maybe you should try designing a map based on an original idea that's also fantastically fun. It will probably bring you epic success.

Just a hunch.

Here's a list of BB Codes to improve the description; use colours, tables, add screenshots, etc. Is this a sliding maze? Or a fight your way out kind of maze? Please tell us more about the gameplay in your description.

Just a recommendation. You could make a better name, current one sounds really unprofessional, while better one will increase the chances that more people will try this map.

Incomplete description: tell us how to win (like defeat a boss in the end or just get to a point) and what we need to do to travesse the maze (like solving puzzles or fighting the way out)

thanks. I cant do much now but later I will fix this up and put some screen shots.

Actually I'm now thinking of one so thats also a work in progress.

This is mostly a fight your way out with a bit of puzzle mixed in.

"It's where I store the extra creeps I didn't use in making the map"

Congratulations, you just created a paradox.
You put all creeps there which you didn't use in the map before.
But because you placed them there, you did use them in the map so they should be removed.
But if you remove them, you did not use them and have to place them again.
etc...


About your map:

• The terrain is very bad (all blizzard cliffs, low tile variation, nearly no doodads).
• Remove the "thanks" from the terrain.
• Change the map's name.
• Contains uncredited material (no credits in-game).
• Nearly all creeps are standard.
• Standard spells.
• At max level, you haven't learned all spells yet.
• Triggers are very bad (see below for more information).
• Basically this is game exists of massed standard creeps.
• Extremely easy (guess how much damage the final boss did? Exactly, 0.00 - keep in mind that even if he managed to deal infinity percent more damage, I could still ressurect... that's right, he had to deal two times infinity percent damage to be able to kill me).
• The item sell values are messed up (e.g.: serathil can be sold for 2.75k while a better item can be bought for 1.5k).
• The distances... they're long.
• Not a very interesting gameplay: you just have to kill some massed units while being overpowered.

Triggers:

3 stupid triggers

• Text Str
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads < Str at (Center of Text Str <gen>) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

• Text Agi
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ^ Agi at (Center of Text Agi <gen>) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

• Text Int
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Int > at (Center of Text Int <gen>) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Tell me, was it that hard to combine these triggers?
You know, copy/paste the actions into a single trigger.

And it's not only about those triggers: you can only have 1 trigger with the event "Map Initialization".
Ohh, and the triggers shown above leak.

More stupid triggers

• Player 1 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 1 (Red) from (Last created leaderboard)

• Player 2 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 2 (Blue) from (Last created leaderboard)

• Player 3 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 3 (Teal) from (Last created leaderboard)

• Player 4 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 4 (Purple) from (Last created leaderboard)

• Player 5 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 5 (Yellow) from (Last created leaderboard)

• Player 6 Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove Player 6 (Orange) from (Last created leaderboard)

Wow, massive amount of triggers, isn't it?
Here's how anyone with a low amount of triggering skills would've done it:

• Player Leaves
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Remove (Triggering player) from (Last created leaderboard)

That's all 6 triggers combined.
That's efficient.

Learn how to trigger more efficiently and how to remove memory leaks.

If it's your first map you should have posted it in map development instead of using "it's my first map" as your excuse for posting this in the maps section. New map makers ought to learn the ropes and receive feedback before attempting any real projects to be uploaded onto the Hive's map section; for the benefit of yourself and to save time for our beloved map moderators.

I look forward to the success of your next project.
