Rules and Details
Challenge Arena Rules:
- No memory leaks are allowed in triggers or scripts.
- Challenge results must be bug-free.
- Copy and paste techniques are not permitted.
- No exports from other games are acceptable.
- Design a Hero using only object editor data, NO triggers and NO imported data. Simillar to the challenge Kyrbi0 and Direfury had but they were more restricted.
- One entry per person.
- No submission may violate the Hiveworkshop Rules and Spells Rules.
- The hero must be made with only In-Game Resources, which means no Custom Resources (models, textures, icons, etc). Specifically, that means Resources that can be found in War3.mpq, War3x.mpq, War3xlocal.mpq, & War3Patch.mpq. The only exceptions to this rule would be
- A) A modified version of an existing in-game icon to increase functionality ONLY (i.e. creating a Passive-version, or Autocast-version, or Regular-version, etc); i.e. only Border-change.
- B) A custom "Hero Glow" model (Chest, Weapon, etc) for use in making Unit models into better-fitting Hero models. PROVIDED HERE by RETERA
- C) An existing In-Game model, modified to have Dissipate anims instead of Decay.
The hero should be balanced qualitatively and quantitatively as if it were a standard hero in standard/ladder WC3 melee games.- Your hero must be designed with a max level of 10 in mind.
- When the hero is complete, submit it to the Challenge thread with the phrase "FINAL" somewhere in the title/post.
- All submitted entries must use the same test map, which will provided as soon as all participants have accepted the challenge. (Modified as necessary, but not with any drastic changes) (Attached Below)
The map you submit your hero in should be set up as a melee map so the hero can be tested in a standard melee game; that means no cinematics or other extraneous additions, aside from:
- Your custom Hero, it's custom spells, etc (your submission, essentially).
- Triggers which should be provided to allow a single player to test the hero individually with ease and without having to build an altar and gain experience. (These can be made previously)
- All submitted entries must have a filename in the format:
HCH.<MyUserName>.<MyHeroName>.w3x
Example: HCH.Kyrbi0.Paladin.w3x - All submitted entries must have an in-game map name in the format:
HCH.<MyHeroName>
Example: HCH.Paladin
The challenge will begin when all participants have read this post and confirmed that they want to participate, by posting in this thread.
You have one week to finish your submission.
