[Krarnal]

Sign me up. I think im gonna make something Voidlord caster like thing. I dont think my spells get that good but i can always try

EDIT: Does it have to be something in the warcraft universe like: Voidlords have come from the twisting nether and now seeks to bring death to all in Azeroth who stands in their way?

 

[Eccho]

No, it does not.

I'm not sure, maybe Gilles removed it when he moved the thread from the Mod's Lobby.

 

[Tarfen]

I'm confused...do we have to model the hero ourself?
or can we dl one?
if we can dl one then im in...mainly because i cannot model >.>

 

[Dr Super Good]

I am confused as to what the hell the theme of the contest is.... You keep refering to a "theme" yet I can not find one.
Also many broken tags/images.

You base a hero around a theme of your choosing.

 

[Ken Christopher]

Im making paladin - human king.

 

[reza sword2]

I'm in. MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

 

[Krarnal]

Whats ultimate spells supposed to be?

 

[HyperActive]

Whats ultimate spells supposed to be?

Ability your hero learns on level 6. It has only one level but is stronger than any other ability.
Examples: Firelord has Volcano, Far Seer has Earthquake, Paladin has Resurrection...

 

[Slaydon]

Im making an

Treant

 

[Eccho]

Entry Name	Contestant Name

[Paladon]

[/table] afterwards.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I just might be up for it.

 

[dansaDisco]

I'm up for this. I already got an awesome concept

 

[Paladon]

I give it a shot. With a Space Orc Plasma Trooper hero.

 

[a7xpwns3]

I'm in. Great concept

(Time to show off my mad GUI skillz)

 

[raid1000]

is imported material allowed?

 

[xD.Schurke]

nice again a good contest , I'm in.
My hero will be a caster hero. For that I will use my new system. I hope this one is allowed

 

[Eccho]

is imported material allowed?

"However, you're able to use any resources publicly available in THW database. This excludes spells."

I assume you may.

 

[Krarnal]

xD.Schurke, u may only use spells youve begun with making at the start of the contest If you started with this before the contest started u may not use it. Stands in the rules.

 

[xD.Schurke]

hm yep , it isn't a spell it's a system :O so there is no violation of the rules

 

[Krarnal]

Oh right Didnt see. I dont understand JASS XD

 

[Kwah]

In.

char

 

[M4stah]

Count me in

EDIT: Master of Spheres is my entry for now

 

[Slaydon]

i got some problem with my spell, my spell instantly creates dummy units that got perm immulation.. but they just spawn inside each other, they got a Pathing texture and evrything

 

[QirajiLord]

This sounds fun, and I'd like to give it a try.

Sign me up, please.

 

[M4stah]

Slaydon, do tehy have locust?

 

[Slaydon]

yes ofcourse, im not stupid

but could that make it bugged?

EDIT: Thanks!!!

 

[Kwah]

. . .

Locust removes pathing.

 

[Slaydon]

now i got another problem, i found out that i didnt need a unit, but i try to make it as a destructible, it cant find the seaweed variaton 2 path??

 

[Kwah]

It's an option in the object editor.

 

[Slaydon]

the model file is Seaweed variation 2, but it cant find the path, it only comes as a green box or a shadow

 

[TriggerHappy]

Teams are not allowed; the entire hero must be made by a single user. However, you're able to use any resources publicly available in THW database. This excludes spells.

Can we use models from other site databases?

 

[~Void~]

XGM OLOL. ;p

 

[TriggerHappy]

Nevermind, the model I found was also on this site too ^_^

 

[Feroc1ty]

Hey, if I made a system that makes shit easier and does it for me, can I use it since it's mine and it's private... like it hasn't been released to the public.

 

[Deuterium]

Such a bad timing!!

Well if I can finish a hero during few days before the end of the contest I'd give it a try... but I don't think I can...

And does this Hero Contest mean there won't be that Spell Contest that was being proposed?

 

[Billy the Cat]

Is there a time in which I need to have subscribed for this contest?

Not sure if I can join it, but I might do it.

We can use all models here on THW? What about older contest models?
Models have to be hero models and can we import icons or are Blizzard icons preferred?
Even non-Warcraftlike heroes are allowed if the spells fit the hero's theme?

Spells all have to be MUI too right (since we use heroes)

 

[Deuterium]

And I wonder if GUI is going to be rated down just because it's GUI...

 

[Billy the Cat]

And I wonder if GUI is going to be rated down just because it's GUI...

Ye I would have to make it in GUI, but I am wondering about the same thing.

 

[Zack1996]

They usually don't rate stuff down just because its GUI. If its done well, they might (I mean might) ignore some leaks and stuff that GUI can't handle. However, JASS is preferred (I assume) as it is extremely versatile and imba!

Anyway, I'm in.

Participant	Hero Name
Zack1996	Flame Fighter

Its gonna be about combo~!

 

[xD.Schurke]

so I worked out a concept.
I will use , like I said, my CombopointListener system. In addition here some WIP infos:

I will use Elenais Archmaiden model. Hm and no wonder because my hero is called Archmaiden.

Alynil - Archmaiden:
The Archmaiden, proud keeper of the Arcane Sanctum in the northern lands.
Her magic grants her great power,
but she has to be aware of those powers,
one mistake could destroy the balance of all known beings.

(Maybe will rewrite it a bit)

Ok thats all so far.

 

[Paladon]

GUI has usually been judged without further decreasment of possible marks just because it's GUI (in the past).

 

[reza sword2]

Can we use Vex's Caster System?

 

[Zack1996]

Can we use Vex's Caster System?

Systems that do most of the work for you are not allowed. This includes things such as "Caster Systems". However, things such as damage detection or Struct attachment systems are fine as long as the author is credited.

That answer your question?
Anyway, can we use a mix of GUI and JASS. I'm planning to use JASS mostly cos I found it awesome but I might be using GUI for other stuff cos I have no idea how to do some stuff in JASS :S

 

[HyperActive]

Well, I have the desire to participate, I just need an idea to work around. And this is great cause, I'll be able to include that hero later in my map, so, two birds with one stone.

Hope I'll have more luck than in first one, I have the feeling none has even tested my hero then.

 

[Kingz]

And you decided to start this in the midle of final weeks of school?
Bad timing.
I wanted this oportunity so much though i think i won't be able to make it due to school.
By the current deadline i will have only 1 week to make the hero and i think that isn't enough
Sign me up and later if i don't finish my submision you can remove me.
Good luck and have fun.
EDIT:
Do we have to come up with a hero description too?
And i hope you won't give higher points to people who use custom models.
BTW i am making a: Clockwerk Goblin
Won't be a copy from dota.

AFAIK, as long as you write the code yourself you can write it in whatever language. I don't see why it should be forbidden to mid GUI and Jass
