Hero Minicontest

[NoNZealot]

Can we make more abilities?

 

[WerBackIII]

I was thinking for the Crypt Lord or Medvih with different skin, but just to show that I look seriosly at the contest. This is a hero, not skinning contest!

 

[Oziris]

Yea i am in the party ^^ is it over becous i want to enter i love macking heros :/

 

[NoNZealot]

Ok Well, I'll try my chance in this!

 

[Oziris]

What do u mean by natural spell ?

 

[Parrothead]

Natural spells are normal spells that heroes have (Bladestorm,shockwave,healingwave, etc...). Passives are not normal and you must have 1 passive spell in your hero.

Edit: Added the 2 of you 2 teh contest xD

 

[Oziris]

Ok passive spell is a spell that dosent hit a unit like Bladestorm.Passive is helling or Rising untis from the ground or summonig right ?So i was wondering if it is posible to have 4 normal spells and 1 passive plz i have made exstra spells i dident know about the passive?^^"

 

[NoNZealot]

Passive means something that you DON'T CAST!!!!!! Nothing to do with raise dead or something. QUESTION! Are these spells all have to be triggered? Because I'm gonna make most triggered and leave 1 or 2.

 

[Parrothead]

Passive is bash,evasion etc... Triggering spells will be better because it is 90% likely the spell will be better and more people will vote for you. 3 normal castable spells, and 1 passive unclickable spell.

 

[Oziris]

Oh i get it srry for the stupid thing i asked i will still work on my project and i am almost done!

 

[NoNZealot]

Well I hope this contest will be approved because I really really really love to make heros. I actually started it yesterday, I hope it is legal to do I read all the rules ^_^. I'll give you the link of used mdx's and blp's when I'm done.I hope this contest will be approved by mods or ads
And one last question:
Can we use custom sounds?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Ehm...Am I allowed to take some heroes for my map?

 

[NoNZealot]

Heh, I would let you if you give credit but I don't know about others.http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/skins/917/ I will use that skin! And its sword it includes it too
EDIT: Do I have to link the special effects and icons too?

 

[NoNZealot]

Well this contest should be approved!!!! Just name it as 2
EDIT:I must put some neutral hostiles due to that some of my spells affect them. Are they approved?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Of course you can!How would people test spells?

 

[Parrothead]

Yes in the map edit notes (the map that you put your hero in) clearly states that you may edit the map by adding things to test your spells.

Custom sounds are allowed but unless they are wc3 sounds, link to them. Link to everything you used while making the hero like sounds,models,skins,special effects.

 

[NoNZealot]

You mean I can use custom sounds that are not on war3.mpq or what? My english is not perfect

 

[Modo]

I think the front page said we have to say which models we are planning on using so that there will not be doubles of customs. If this is right, I am going to use the Cheese Golem by D.O.G. It is quite good and will suit the comedic nature of the hero I will make when this contest is finally approved.

I want to enter 2 heroes, a partially triggered and a non-triggered. There is actually a lot that you can do with the standard spell. For example, Silence can stop Spells, Melee Attack, Ranged Attack and Special depending on which flags you use.

Either way, I will be using my Procrastination Aura, whatever I name it, by taking Endurance Aura and making its values negative and able to target enemies only. I have done this before and it is freaking awesome.

BTW, NoNZealot, I don't think you are allowed to start your hero until the contest has started.

EDIT: I want to massively alter the terrain of the map to make it more interesting, and to emphasise the impressiveness of my hero, Parrothead is this ok? It won't do anything for my hero. Also, I want to add a level-up trigger, footman friend spawn trigger, enemy spawn trigger and a revive trigger. Are these allowed?

 

[Parrothead]

Yes they are modo

 

[WerBackIII]

So what's the difference between starting our own map and using this one?

 

[NoNZealot]

They are allowed, in my logic. Well he said if not effecting your spell or something, YOU CANNOT EDIT TERRAIN so no. I just put a lotsof rock terrain because I hate that dirt

 

[WerBackIII]

OK. I understand.

 

[Modo]

Parrothead, I have redesigned the map that you originally posted. I was wondering if this could be the base map. It has creeps (I think some are magic immune), buildings, neutral passives (tentacles in the water.) The only thing I think it is missing is fliers and blight.
This was originally the base map. I didn't change tilesets or map bounds. It is intended that you start in the top left where the start marker is located.

Everyone else please note that this is not the map you are to work in. That map can be found on page 1.

 

[Parrothead]

I will check it out.

Edit: Looks very nice and im still pending to change it.. On one hand, people may have started with the old terrain which they werent supposed to and people may want to mod it differently, aoe heroes and such.

Good sides: Creeps respawn, everything is setup besides hero, commands are done.

Edit2: Check the first page .

 

[WerBackIII]

Well we should ask for approval.

 

[NoNZealot]

Asking For Approval

Willthiscontestever beapproved? ORNOT?

 

[Modo]

Please approve this contest (Wolverbaid, I looking at you). It has at least 6 entrants, as many as most contests and will be fun. I want to start my hero. :'(

 

[Parrothead]

When/if this is approved, ill provide the dates,times and everything on the front page.

 

[NoNZealot]

"+5 Rep (Third" Please put a " ) " at the end of it. It looks dumb

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I will join, and i will use this model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/3447/

 

[Parrothead]

Alright added you, now we have 7 .

 

[NoNZealot]

I have no idea about why this contest is still not approved. I mean what's wrong with this contest?? Everything looks okay.

 

[Parrothead]

Maybe the mods r busy

 

[Modo]

I will now give the list of the models, skins and icons I am using...

Cheese Golem by D.O.G.
Link - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/3678/
Cheese Golem Icons by D.O.G.
Link - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/icons/4507/

CritterTurtle by Werewulf
Link - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/2931/
BTNCritterTurtle by Werewulf.
Link - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/icons/4005/

The Cheese Golem will be the hero (called the Humourist, all his names are puns) and the Critter Turtle will be a summon. I don't think the turtle has attachment points.

My heroes theme will be fun/humour. Most heroes are all serious and such so for this contest, I want to make something different.

 

[Just_Spectating]

just dont start yet, if this contest isnt approved your wasting your time XD

 

[Neoktyn]

If this contest gets approved, count me in. I look forward to winning with un-scripted spells. (I'll obviously loose, but it's worth a try!)

[NoNZealot]

If you mean new to the hive in terms of account, then yes.

I've been lurking here (on multiple accounts) since wc3sear.ch started bugging out.

Unscripted spells can rock. For instance, my Procrastination Aura is just Endurance Aura with negative values that target enemies. All Auras can just be negatised.
-Silence can stop spells, melee attack, ranged attack, and special attack.
-A lot of spells have unused reduce attack speed and reduce movement speed as well as other fields.
-Altering art can re-make a spell massively, like putting the star fall star in blizzard

@Dark Hunter1357 - When I say my hero will not be serious, I mean the hero is meant to be funny I guess would be the best explanation. It will be made as a serious entry and a proper balanced hero. If this contest gets approved, I will make it for the contest and then put it in my map. If this contest gets dissaproved, I may still make the hero for my map at a much later date.

I understanded it, in the first place i mean that mine will not be like yours

 

[Thrikodius]

Well count me in. I already sent u a PM Parrothead. Please quote it and reply here.
I got an awsome idea.

 

[Parrothead]

I replyed and I hope I answered your questions.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Ahhhhh i want to start my hero ! Why is this not aproved yet....

 

[donut3.5]

I do believe that his idea has been submitted many times in the past.

A staff member was once working on its development but it has yet to take place: it will eventually.

It will probably not be started here, yet once a staff member decides to host it, it will take place. Until then, practice the "patience is a virtue" saying.

[Lord_of_sausage]

eeh, how does i send my hero to the contenst?

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Read the first post.

eeh, how does i send my hero to the contenst?

Read the first post !

When showing your finished hero you will do this

(Your username)
(Your hero name)
(The download link here)
(Models/skins used LINKS (MUST PROVIDE LINKS TO ALL MODELS YOU USED))
(Comments)

You must make your hero, using the map attached on the first post. After that attach it to the post. And you cant start your hero yet, becouse the contest is not aproved.
The demo map is not attached yet, becouse the contest is not aproved.

 

[Just_Spectating]

you should include to criteria

"You must make a model from this site into a hero"

so people will have to think more decisively

 

[Thrikodius]

Then I wonder, why not WEU? I could understand if you don't wan't jass in it as not everyone can use it, but WEU is the same as WE only that there are more functions.
If everyone download WEU they will all be able to do more.

 

[donut3.5]

WEU should not be compatible for any competition IMO, as is makes it harder for judges to judge (as most aren't going to download WEU for a single competition) and its almost like cheating. Its triggers are cheap and terribly coded. I don't see why JNGP isn't allowed, because it provides no instant advantages, only potential if you are skilled enough to use it.
