HotS DE:FORGED! v0.01

[Fleck]

Congratulations on your map release! Also I don't think you are suppose to link the resources like but to write a credits list instead.

 

[moddiemads]

thank you thank you~~

huh you might be right about the resources thing...

gonna change it!

 

[deepstrasz]

The problem with -solohero is that your buildings don't become AI controlled; you can't select anything which means no CTRL+1 on hero but only F1; can't use shops. Also, the recall ability has no visible cooldown.

It's a nice concept but needs more work.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Definitely needs more work, hehe!

But I think you might have missed some stuff (or maybe the screen text bugged out and didn't show for you...)

There are special commands in -solohero mode:


Use SpaceBar to focus your hero (like a moba)!

Press G (for gold!) to access shops when you are close to them! Any shop!



definitely needs a way to inform the recall CD, yes, working on that!

And yes, next update hopefully will have fully automated bases!

That inlining is disgustingly beautiful

That inlining is disgustingly beautiful

Took me a whole week to get the inliner done.

It can also do the aggressive inlining of boolean expressions inside ifs, but i dare not show those in public...

Okay now get rid of code branches using math where possible

works fine on my pc, and all the others that tested it

could be.... this map was made with version 1.36 of WC3 Reforged, so it probably won't work if you are using an earlier version

also could be... the map might have some protection, so if you meddle with that things can break

 

[Antares]

I think one or more of the options in the map optimizer causes the map to crash on map init on some pcs on 1.36, but I'm not sure which one. More testing is needed.

 

[moddiemads]

Updated the map with a few changes, should fix any problem you might be having loading the map.

But once I still started it, all subsequent crashes are an error. I have 1.36. This happens precisely because of the program that you call protection, I also disabled it in my map, because it is incompatible with version 1.36. In addition, it will be possible to analyze your changes. I don't even see the point in using the protector anymore, it's useless, and it opens easily by opening the map in mpqeditor and replacing the broken file, for example, war3map.r, after which the map opens. For this reason, there would be no point in using it, except that you damage the card with the protector itself, since it is incompatible with 1.36. And it will be better if you can give me the opportunity to see how you did it, your map an ordinary spell pack of 2 heroes. There's not unique to hide about this.))

mama what are you talking about? it kinda just sounds like you’re mad that they won’t let you fiddle with their map, in which case you should just get over it

"except that you damage the card with the protector itself"

Lying and trying to scam a map maker for his map?

 

[StormKnight]

except that you damage the card with the protector itself,

What do you mean by Card here ? graphics card ? or map file ? if you're using a translator please clarify this so confusion is not caused.
There is absolutely zero harm done to hardware for using the optimizer, and your writings sound fishy in trying to get access to an authors work.

 

[Antares]

To clarify: I had a problem with my map where it would randomly crash on map initialization when playing with one guy from our playgroup. Hosting the unoptimized version seemed to make that issue disappear. Since the problem described here sounded similar and the map optimizer was mentioned, I thought it would be helpful to share my findings. I don't believe that this crash is caused by the map protection feature of the map optimizer and I don't want to encourage anyone to disable the protection if they don't feel comfortable doing that.

@Mellstorm
Do not deprotect another user's map and don't repeatedly ask both in public and private for an unprotected version
when the author clearly does not wish to do so.
Proceed to act this way and there will be consequences.
You have been warned.

No more discussion about this map protection/optimization topic.
