GUI/MUI spell and system contest

[rysnt11]

i see some winner in spell and system contest is a vjass user, why didn't we GUI user join a contest that only allow GUI type of spell and system?
Give me your feed back!
GUI/MUI spell and system contest #1
Theme: dejavu
Description: achieve a time based spell, either making a unit comes back to it's last location in past 5s, or even an upgraded chronos sphere (the cronossphere itself is restricted for this contest)
Rule: no copying!
Hope this help

vJASS spells are not really superior to GUI spells but usually the spellmakers are (there are exceptions of course)
so this is somehow similar to dividing the spell contest into 2 classes
but there are some people who can't use JNGP for various reasons so I don't think it's fair to exclude them from the vJASS contest (if there is one)
maybe something like a GUI and a vJASS/GUI/whatever contest would be better
actually I like the idea of a GUI-only contest
I'd take part (provided that the theme is good and that I am going to find my wc3 folder backuped somewhere )

Yay!
I got attention from the most kind gui spell maker

Thanks for your support dark gandalf, i really really appreciate it
Some spell that made in vjass or jass can't be converted to gui, but gui spell can easily converted to jass or vjass..
:'(
I got this idea when see the result of mini spell and system contest, the winner is elmjr, the one that use vjass (or jass?), he copied the spell from ffx, the 1000 needle of cactuar,made in jass...
T.T
And i think my skill is good enough, so i wanted to see some spell and system (GUI) #1
Hope this poll seen by moderator, especialy, the spell moderator, for them to make this contest exist

I would join if the theme is okay.

Update the first post!

Whats the sense of that?
GUI entries should be judged differently and thats all.
Only allowing GUI is like a 100 metres but only allowing to hobble.
GUI sucks. It may be good for a start, but srsly every1 should use Jass after having done some stuff in the WE.

there are world championships in sprinting and walking although you are way faster with the first

Thats more like comparing jass and vjass.
gui would be like stepping into a piece of dogshit every 10 metres and falling into a gap every 30 while throwing garbage everywhere.

@footy: if you don't like gui, then do not talk about it, comparing vjass, jass, zinc, and cjass to gui is a hurt, most of the user start off with gui, and i suppose you too..
Btw, no offense nor insult

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm satisfied with GUI and I've done some excellent maps with simple GUI. It's not that bad.

 

[rysnt11]

@aeroblyctos: thanks for the support!

I may join if a contest like this happens as it may give me a chance to release a spell instead of keeping it myself
Also I've slightly started to use jass from bordem and to make my triggering more officiant so idk maybe.

 

[Bannar]

You can upload it in Spell section

I suport the idea, it would be nice to have contest focused only on GUI part.
If we look ok modeling/texturing contest there are a lot of types (however, ther aren't differend model languages, there are just differend programs..)

It could lead to divide spell contests into few categories, which can only make spelltriggering more interesting.

 

[SA Dashie]

What I meant to intend was create a spell not intended to be for me but someone else and reasons why I don't release that stuff is that I want my maps to look slightly more unique
Just saying that this will give me a chance to make a spell for the public to use.

 

[rysnt11]

Thread opened again, sorry for my 'disappearing', now, did this thread seen by spell mods?
I hope a gui contest is soon on held

 

[Jazztastic]

I do like the theme of the contest (time spells), but I don't think it's appropriate to exclude jass. The spells contest you mentioned in which the winner was 1000 needles was not an only jass contest.

Besides, lots of people who use jass could just go to GUI and write custom script for the spell. Also, only GUI will have loose definitions. Removing leaks such as points has to use a custom script, and using local variables is sometimes easier than using a hashtable. Just make a spell contest in general, because everyone can compete. The jassers will probably win, but that is because they are more experienced and can execute ideas better.

 

[SA Dashie]

That is fair enough that there shouldn't be a contest for such a particular thing as GUI is jass in general and GUI does have alot more restrictions in being flexible.
Just try your best in a spell making contest and don't try to worry about it because as beef said the more experienced mappers usually use jass in spells as it has more ways of functions and Spells can be more advanced in Jass.

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

Spells can be more advanced in Jass.

that's wrong
