how I place a map?

[Ham Ham]

Hi, I am new here, I want to know how I can post my maps. I dont discovered how to do this yet.

 

[Shados]

Hit the 'Resources' button near the top-left.

-*meow*

 

[Ralle]

yeah hit the Resources and find the category you want to put it in. Then click "Submit map to this category"

 

[Ham Ham]

Yeah, i've learned, now I will continue to send my maps in time

 

[Ralle]

that's great

 

[Ham Ham]

I am sended a new one now, and send more on saturday.

Guys, as I seen, the maps here are no much judged here inthis site.
None map of the mini-game category was rated or comented.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

We used to have a much bigger and better map database, I don't know why it was deleted and we got this... "improved" cough, map database.

 

[Archian]

And we're about to get a MUCH better and bigger map database

 

[Ham Ham]

I have seen at wc3search than this site will make some "alliance" with them, it is true?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yes it is.

 

[DurotarLord]

aw crap. that was one of the reasons i liked this database. please tell me your kidding... if we get several thousand maps on this site its going to SUCK. cant we do this like wc3campaings and go for quality not quantity (but not be as strict as wc3campaigns).

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Why is it bad to have a proper download database?

 

[DurotarLord]

its not. but it is bad to have 5000 maps in the database because then theres so much crap people wont come here when looking for a good map. they'll come here if they know the name of the map they want, but not to sort through it.

 

[Ham Ham]

I think f you show random maps in the home page, people probabily will dl them...
This is a way so people can dl more maps.

 

[Shados]

I don't think you understand, Ralle's just going to use his server space and bandwidth to host wc3sear.ch, not merge with them.

-*meow*

 

[Archian]

I don't think you understand, Ralle's just going to use his server space and bandwidth to host wc3sear.ch, not merge with them.

-*meow*

Don't be to sure.

 

[Shados]

Don't be to sure.

It's what Ralle told me, Archian. A merge between wc3sear.ch and the Hive would indeed be crap.

-*meow*

 

[Archian]

Oh well, we talked aobut it yesterday and mergeing isn't an excluded opportunity. It appears there has been a bit change of plans as far as i can tell. However, everything still needs to fall in etc. there's going to be a lot work to do. Many decisions to make etc.

 

[Oblivion]

If there is a merge, hopefully Ralle and those working on the sites can get a powerful search engine and map categorization in place. That will definitely help us find the exact maps we want in a large database.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I would prefer a merge if it was done properly and the wc3search database of ressources and maps were moved along to the new merged site, also both of the forums members and posts and such should be combined aswell so I don't lose my post counts

 

[Bob27]

Well if there is to be a merge, then if we are gonna use our download system then it will have to be perfect, and I believe Ralle told me sometime its not completly finished yet.

Also I no that were all talking about it, but have any of the wc3sear admins actualy agreed to even consider merging the sites yet? Nope, so nothing like that can be done until they agree (if they havn't).

And if we are gonna merge, then as Oblivion said we should probably want a more powerful search engine.

And if we do merge I think we should delete all of rages posts from wc3sear.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Fuck you bob

Anyways search only have 2 admins where Darky does not give a shit about the site and only post news when VGSatomi threatens him to do so, kinda like I do with you

 

[Bob27]

You didn't really threaten me though, you were just to lazy to do it yourself so I did it for you

 

[Shados]

That would be a problem, considering there may be people on both sites with the same account name who are different people, what would you do in a case like that?

-*meow*

 

[Bob27]

-*meow*

merge the accounts.

 

[Shados]

What, if they're own by two different, active people?.

-*meow*

 

[Bob27]

The chances of that are very unlikly, and if there was we would just change the name of one.

 

[Ralle]

vbulletin have many functions for that... But first I just want to get wc3s moved.. I will talk to all the admins about merging before I even consider it..

 

[Ham Ham]

My account name here is Ham Ham, but in the wc3search it is as Ham Ham the Frost Wyrm, when this is merged, I will stay with the two accounts, or one of them will be deleted?

 

[Oblivion]

I will talk to all the admins about merging before I even consider it..

Based on what Ralle said, the idea of a merge is just that, only an idea at this point. Until then, wc3search and Hive will probably remain as separate sites running alongside each other.

maps are a waste of resources on sites like this anyways.
the most important things to have are icons and models- you can
download maps in game through wc3 or websties devoted to these paticular maps (if they're good maps of course. why would you want to play any bad maps?) and art can be submitted to blizzards fan art site, barely anyone who submits to art (i'm talking about on wc3sear.ch) has anything worth looking at.

 

[Shados]

Ok, so you're saying maps are a waste of resources and we should only have the things required to make maps? Kind of defeats the purpose there...

-*meow*

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

having version 1.13412modded by XxbadassxX and 1.1313 modded by 1)eadman is a waste of resources, yes.

having good maps like elemental td 3.0 isn't.
(the maps i mentioned above aren't real, but you get the picture of the countless people who upload horrible mods of maps onto websites like this)

and yes even good maps are a little odd to have, since they can EASILY be downloaded when they are hosted on WC3. OR from a website that is FOR this map.

 

[Shados]

No, they can't be easily download from hosted games as people often kick downloaders, and how are you going to find the site for the map if you don't have the links to it, which are likely in the map? And how are you going to find out that the map is good in the first place.

-*meow*

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

by playing it first on battle.net
most hosts DO let you download.
and if one doesn't, it's not going to ruin your life- you'll find another soon.
find links by googling the map's name, it's not that hard.
all i'm saying is when you can't dl models or icons from b.net, but
you can maps, and art isn't necessary for mapmaking, then why waste resources on the maps and art in place of the necessary icons and models?

but anyways, we've both made our points now. no more need to argue it

 

[Mini-Me]

You clearly arent a map maker dark_nite. Most people dont like to play maps they know nothing about, thats where sites like hive come in. People submit maps here and other people can read the description of the map and comments on what other people thought of the map. And then make up their mind if they want to try the map.
You can never mount up to the visibility that your map gets from sites like this by only hosting the map now and then on bnet.
Saying that the maps section should be removed because it's easy to download maps on bnet is pretty silly.

I could relate to what you were saying in the beginning, nobody likes to see copies of maps with only "modded by mr.x" at the end, and thats why hive has its aproval system. But then you took a horrible wrong turn to left and all your points seem absurd to me.

 

[Ralle]

well if we are gonna get the resources of wc3s.. we are gonna put it all in the approve-queue.. So everything will be looked through

 

[Shados]

Oh god, I'm gonna be playing alot of wc3 in my two months of holidays >.<...

-*meow*

 

[HappyTauren]

Oh god, I'm gonna be playing alot of wc3 in my two months of holidays >.<...

-*meow*

well its summer to you australians! XD, we're having cooold winter here...

well if we are gonna get the resources of wc3s.. we are gonna put it all in the approve-queue.. So everything will be looked through

well you will need at least 5 mods ONLY for maps

 

[Ralle]

You are right HappyTauren. I will need the whole world..

 

[Shados]

Bah, summer's too hot down under, we've been getting many a 40+ degree day >.<.

-*meow*

I don't see how that could have made me any less of the mapmaker I would have been if i said that a resource section for maps was good. But nevertheless, I am a mapmaker. When I finish with my current project, I shall post it in the Maps section

 

[Bob27]

So wait, your saying that we shouldn't have a maps section but when you have done your map you are going to submit it to the maps section?

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

So wait, your saying that we shouldn't have a maps section but when you have done your map you are going to submit it to the maps section?

Yes,
Just because I don't think we should have it doesn't mean that I wont take full advantage of it's uses.

 

[Mini-Me]

You are weird dark_nite

 

[brad.dude03]

As well I will tell you all of the reason I like having a maps section: Advertisement. I can't be hosting 24/7 to get my map out there. It just doesn't fit my schedule. With a site like the Hive, that has quite a few members, I can post my map and people can download it, try it out, and post feedback without me having to host it, and they can do it any time they want and on their own time. Also, we are going to have moderators for the resources section, so they will control the inflow of maps so that no crap and no cheap ripoff stuff gets submitted. And if people have problems with their maps being denied they can post on the forums and the mods will sort out with them why it was denied and what they can change so that in the future it will be approved.

 

[Mini-Me]

Conlusion: The map section is a nice thing to have .

Though i am bit disappointed on its activity, most of the maps have zero or 1-5 downloads only and the maps have been there quite some time...

 

[brad.dude03]

Well the Resources section is being worked on a lot, although I will start submitting again soon after I release some maps. I can always upload my Family Guy Maul if any of you are interested XD

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

I suppose I can't win them all. Touché.
