Linaze: The poor terrain and the high amount of memory leaks is enough for me to reject this. Feel free to update this it once you've worked on those two things and this'll receive a proper review.

ap0calypse: very bad movement system and arrow keys + guitar hero-map = bad.

 

[sjidrummer47]

Forgot Controls :S

Dang, I knew i forgot something The controls are


Left arrow key-red
Down arrow key-blue
Right arrow key-green
Up arrow key-yellow

The controls are a little unusual at first but you'll get used to them

 

[Gath_Stormer]

Lol I knew someone would make something like this edventually I will try it soon.

 

[ap0calypse]

It's an avarage attempt at creating something that might resemble guitar hero in a way...
This could be improved a lot...

My advice:
I wouldn't advice normal unit movement, since it isn't as effective as slides.
Normal unit movement is very limited, since sometimes the unit seems to wander, with slides it goes perfectly straight, you're 100% sure of that.

You've said it in the description, but I'll say it anyway: it leaks... badly.
The camera shakes a little, you also really need to fix that

Erm... yeah, adding songs would be obvious (this can be done by creating a table that says when to create which wisp... I think that's the easiest).
At least stop playing the standard warcraft song ^^

The terrain needs some improvements... you'd best use custom things, since this isn't good.
Dalaran Ruins brick and Black Marble also fit the terrain... I don't like the ice :/


Well, I won't moderate the map for now... I would only end up rejecting it anyway.

What u mean 'make something like this eventually'?

This has been done 3 times b4 this one, this just has some nice new features to make it more like the real game.

one of those games tho i believe one was rejected for being a capign of only 1 map however that on did have some awsome systems as well.

Anyway if you cannot figure out how to do sliding plz just put in some pathing blockers to mark the paths at least. at first i couldn't tell where they where goin and i was thinging 'is this game fucked up'? (this was because a red when right next to the blue marker then suddanly changed direction)

Hope u fix those leaks soon.

Should type and catagory be different like Mini Game instead of Tower Defense?

Remove WC3 music, well there's always Ctrl+M but hey just saying. Leaking badly for me, so it wasn't easy getting the notes....

Finally like apocalypse said, use slides instead of unit move, to make sure it goes 100% accurate to the spot.

 

[sjidrummer47]

Well Technically its tower defense because you are trying to "kill" the wisps before they get past also, now instead of slides I've made pathing blockers so they stay on course, updated the terrain, and for some reason when I modified triggers on the upload version, the multiboard that displayed your stats got disabled :S so in the update all these will be fixed along with leaks

 

[Tau Empire]

Lol what terrain update? All there is are some leaking notes comming at you.

Don't worry your map is approved but only after the leak fix.

 

[Septimus]

Well Technically its tower defense because you are trying to "kill" the wisps before they get past

Tower defense is a genre where you have a unit or need to train a unit in order to build a tower to stop/repel an incoming invasion.

This is generally a game where you click a button when the unit reach the exact position.

The correct category should be Mini-games, not tower defense.

Type: Defense / Survival, Mini-Game, Tower (Defense / TD / Maul / Wars)
Category: Medieval / Warcraft, Miscellanous / Other

Change the type to Mini-game while the category to Miscellanous / Other.

Map with combination of more than 1 type of genre should be set to Miscellanous / Other instead of listing them all like that cause it was not only an eyesore, but it was also an abuse.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Interesting. Testing.

EDIT: Well, cool map. You should add some music or something. The camera also shakes a bit....
Has potential to become a great map, keep updating it.

 

[sjidrummer47]

Hmm The camera doesn't shake for me... I'll look into it and yes, music is the obvious =]

 

[wereguy2]

Lol.




Ill test it tomorrow...

 

[sjidrummer47]

Grr... Found a glitch after I updated it... When playing 'Test' you may have problems with the red note. The problem is that the trigger that handles when you "strum" red is somehow activating the effect of holding the same note... This will be fixed next update (Don't want to update again too soon :/)

If you want to take it upon yourself to fix it while waiting for next update:

Hidden

Simply open the folder titled "hold note" and click on the trigger called "Scoring Left" now change the condition to

• (passes <gen> is on) Equal to True

That should fix it

Sorry again :S

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I've tried this before. Your main problem is going to find a way to not make the map exceedingly huge with all the sound file imports

 

[sjidrummer47]

Yeah, I'm trying to think of a way to get around that... There's only so many songs that are already built in to warcraft...

 

[Alfagar]

Dang, I knew i forgot something The controls are


Left arrow key-red
Down arrow key-blue
Right arrow key-green
Up arrow key-yellow

The controls are a little unusual at first but you'll get used to them

If you wan't it to be usual at first, make them something from the letters ect. ''A, S, D, F'', because it's really unusual to play with the arrows

 

[sjidrummer47]

The hotkeys dont react as fast as the arrows. also, the arrow set up works fine in easy mode because it uses the three bottom arrows. I could try and change it but all my triggers are based on the arrows so changing it would take a while... good idea but it might affect gameplay too much.

 

[Quellquun]

sorry but i didnt liked ist :/

-the arrows are confusing
-the camera position made ist impossible to see how many wisps are coming (just on hardest level)

Hmm alright I'm sorry its not easy enough for you to learn how to play on your first try.. Good god, please don't give my map a rating of 2 because of your own personal opinion... You might as well have given it a 1 because anything lower than 4 is saying my map is god awful and unplayable.. The rating system is designed to give people an idea on how good their map is.. Not "Meh, I didn't like it so it's obviously bad" And the camera position? You are the first person to ever comment about that. Good job pointing out how the angle is EXACTLY the same as in Guitar Hero ffs..

A rating of two makes less people download the map and prevents it from ever becoming popular.

Thanks, thanks a lot.

He's allowed to rate it as much as he wants, as long as he can give a clear statement why the map deserves that rating and I think he did.

The momement is still very bad, the hotkeys are in my eyes stupid as well (arrow keys jut don't fit in a guitar hero map), the demo-songs do not follow the correct rythm as far as I've heard and the camera makes it hard to see when a note actually enters the circle.

I haven't seen a lot of improvements since... pretty long ago, so I reject it.
If you ever decide to add an actual movement system, I might reconsider.
