dus this mean we can make our own custom hero? (model it)

If you mean making a model for the contest specificly then no. I want it to be fair because you may be able to model, but someone else cant. You may only use models/skins that have been on this site only! No private models that you have yourself because again that would be unfair. Ill just sum it up:

"No models that havent been uploaded on THW cant be used on the contest, neither ones that have never been approved by the staff. Only models from THW may be entered to enforce this rule

I feel this rule is fair.

Edit: I updated the first post and made the rules easier to read and I categorized them. Rules may change if a VALID reason is stated. Please post here if you are interested and may join if this got approved.

BS, the model KB limit shouldn't be 300 or less... it should be at least 500? maybe gives a wider variety of cooler/better looking models that would make spells better and give more ideas

Thats what I was saying, I think I shall not allow this because of this reason. If you dont know jass you will have an even MORE disadvantage if they have jasspack. After all, jass is better then gui. Well I shouldnt say that, its more .....functional.. customizable.. advanced

Edit: If a certain amount of people sign up, will the contest be approved?

Ok, I want a rule overlooked and ask 2 things.


Questions:

Can we use icons imported.
Do all the models have to add up to 300kb?


Rule I want overlooked:

You may use jass or gui, whatever you prefer.! Wtf? That would give any triggerer the perfect advantage over people who can't trigger!

If this rule gets overlooked and my questions answered then i suppose it's a chance for some extra rep! :ugly:

"Can we use icons imported."
"Do all the models have to add up to 300kb?"

Yes you may use imported icons but they add to the 300kb.
Everything is added together to equal or be less then 300kb, cannot be more.


"You may use jass or gui, whatever you prefer.! Wtf? That would give any triggerer the perfect advantage over people who can't trigger!"

If someone cant trigger why would they be in this contest??? Your supposed to make the best spells you can make.

I think this should have a theme, so that it is harder to finish the contest before it starts. Would a JassNewGen hero be compatible in a map that doesn't use JassNewGen? I have the pack, but don't know what it does/what I do with it.

Heck yeah. If I have to, I will make a hero tonight and submit it on Sunday Night (when I can get back online) right here. I want to see how my fully custom hereos, using no imports and limited JASS stand up against some real competition. I already have the name, Orochi Kami, which, as far as I know, is Japanese for "Snake Spirit". I have a passive thought out and ideas in the works.

I haven't started, but I am ready to start. I have one spell full mapped out in my head and the rest are up in there too, waitng for my creative genius to let them loose. I really want to participate so why would I spoil the chance by starting early.

I will not put mouse pointer to map until this contest is approved.
