Hive Workshop Cup Melee Mapping Contest [Polls Open]

[Sxar]

Guys I'm improving the map changing the units in the canyon for destructibles dead version, however they all are set as the same team color (red). How can I fix that to set human units blue and red for the horde units?

 

[adamcg]

EDIT 2019.10.05
Map updated to version 5.0.

I think only with triggers can be done: create:... facing angle, team color... I rememeber it from the orc TFT campaings, green theramore footmans deads.

Dont do that, change the doodads will set the map as melee: no, use skulls and remain scorched instead.

holy moly that's a great map

agree

Uther's Slumber

holy moly that's a great map

 

[Sxar]

The Syndicate's Hive updated and tested. It's really funny the way you could use goblin mines in the map. Added some sound effects for bandits camps lore like (Sylvana's and Mug'thol for example)... custom units trapped in cage (swordman for humans, warlock for orcs, necromancer for undead and archers for nighe elves) in each mercenary camp.
If you think I could improve something else just let me know.

 

[Knecht]

@adamcg Uther's Slumber? That's a blast from the past Be wary of the empty space between the trees though. Other than that it's a great map.

@Sxar I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but:

• No custom imports are allowed.
• Triggers are not allowed.
• The map must satisfy the "Melee Map: Yes" condition as determined by Warcraft 3.

Troll Temple posted my WIP in the other thread of the hive cup

 

[Leo-speo]

I can't find testers for map, why is it always the same shit.
Making melee maps is fucking annoying.
Starfish Village

Nudl9 maybe keep in mind that there is a SV (secret valley) in the current pool alrdy so it will be hard to Identify ur map later. ; )

 

[Sxar]

Oh lol!
I can remover the triggers. They are justo for sounds and cages that enhance the melee experience so it's OK.

Update The Syndicate's Hive : added non-trigger version.

I have added the "contest entries" tag to all submission so far, please tell me if I missed one of them.

Saw you added it to my melee as well but shouldn't there be a list with all of us as well? Just asking

And also there is my excel list, just in case.

@Knecht, mind PM'ing me with what area of trees you are talking about?

 

[SlushyJones]

The map I want to submit is called Blooming Peninsula SJ

Link: Blooming Pennisula SJ

Thanks

 

[WolfFarkas]

this is my enty:

Sapphiron`s Servants

I am still working on it (adding doodads, beta-testing), but I think now is enough to link it.

 

[Mr.Henci]

Some quick WIP I managed to put together today. Still not sure about tileset and if I will be able to finish it till Sunday, but I would love to submit new map and not use any of my older ones.

looks very nice!!, very promissing, probably you know this

mirrow

mirrow 1 in 2 and 3 in for and design half map.

and a trick to put doodads in a fast way:

start with bats... and put bats bats and bats.
then birds... birds birds and birds.
then braziers, braziers braziers and braziers.
and so on....
skull pile... skull pile skull pile and more skull pile.

that way you use almost all and you put them more fast.

 

[Arrr]

Here's my WIPs


It's mostly done gameplay-wise I think, though I'm not sure I'm convinced about the creep camps and drops.
Still have to finish terrain, work out bases, trees placement, visibility and clarity, some doodads here and there maybe.

(Merc camps are not supposed to be Lordaeron Winters ones and will be changed to Summer I think - I know it'll look awful but the troll trappers are too imba sadly)

Thanks for compiling that! Just a note that many people have posted revised versions of their map (myself included) since their original submission! It'd be extra awesome if that spreadsheet also double-checked version for that reason.

I am not shure if I am following the idea you mean to take note of new maps and old maps (revised versions)???

and double checked you mean by another user??

I will keep effort to have updated if that is necesary
(I have the nose of a fox and the ears of a wolf, I can smell the link of a map at great distances)


by the way the frontpage list is also being updated in time to time, and that list is the oficial one.

Perfect! I just meant to ensure the most up to date version is listed/used for the contest

 

[Kerael]

I will try myself out on the contest as well! Will provide a WIP within the following day.

 

[Folderz]

Hi
here is my entry. Mirage Cave

 

[Jimpanse1]

First time building a Melee map for the contest.
Since i thought having a normal symmetrical map would be standard, i tried to do it a little bit different, but still symmetrical.

Spoiler: Screenshot (WIP)

Although there are not many props to choose in Icecrown Glacier
I'd love to hear your opinions, especially if i forgot something basic or stuff. I'll probably upload it to workshop right before the deadline.

 

[Deleted member 247165]

I'm abandoning the contest

You shouldn't give up that easily. There's still time.

 

[Isaak]

Great contest, I am in too. Here is a first WIP of BlackWaters:

[SayuriTenshi]

[WolfFarkas]

@Landmine


I changed the map name, because of the un-balanced dragonkin skills, now is troll theme map.

Drakkari Domination

 

[Kerael]

@WolfFarkas there are no images in the 'hidden' blocks, although you are probably in the process of adding them now. Just in case.

I changed almost all the creeps so I deleted all the screens with the dragonkins creeps.
Also I will see if I can improve the terrain, but I dont found a solution yet.

already linked it "Page 4"

 

[Knecht]

Alright, guess I'll post mine already Logging Camp

I pity the judges who'll have to review 20-30 maps in just two weeks. It won't be an easy task with the amount of high quality maps.

in 5 days, contest ends 6, first qualifiers starts 12.

 

[ToggleModGoat]

Alright people. I will be joining too with my entry Skewed Atoll

Might be updating it tho

 

[Sxar]

It's my first contest so I don't know exactly if this will happend, however, winner or not, would be nice to add all the maps into a melee map pack to download the lastre version of all.

I think all the maps are downloaded and put in a pack when the contest ends.

 

[Leo-speo]

so much cool submissions! the tournament will be nice to watch whatever maps gets picked. looks like a tough job for the judges tho : D

 

[mafe]

In case you havent seen it yet, the (first?) information for the tournament itself is now out:
The Hive Cup Announcement

 

[Kerael]

I've made my entry: Lord of the Pit

@mafe Could you please add 'Contest Entries' tag to all the remaining submissions so far?

By the way, does anyone know if the testing/judging process will be completely closed (most likely) or we'll be able to follow it being broadcasted somewhere? My guess is that Back2Warcraft might stream something about it, however it's up to judges really. I'm just curious about spreading the word on public polls, since there are so many great maps submitted for the contest!

Usually judges have 2 weeks/ 1 month to write the review of all maps. but now , only 5 days, I dont think they can have time in streaming while judging.

but in the past, some youtubers reviewed all the maps in a short way, like 2 mins per map.
I remember Orange and WTii. I would espect something in the youtube WC3 channels.

 

[Kerael]

Oh I see. Dire.

 

[Nudl9]

It shouldn't be hard to make 4 picks.
I'd be more concerned about those 4 maps being checked for cheats and bugs.
All drops have to work.
I'm not sure if Blizzard fixed the custom drop table bug for 1.31, but that means that there could be several maps with bugged drops.

My theory: you have custom drop table with 3 items, 33% change each. So 3 times 33% equals 99%. Then there's bugged 1% change of not getting any item. I don't know if this is true but I should fix my drops too since I noticed that custom table rarely doesn't drop anything.

 

[Nudl9]

That isn't the problem.
Custom item drop tables get swapped around or scrambled, i don't remember the details but a camp would suddenly drop crown of kings.
