Icon/Model/Spell Team Contest - Hive Member[+100 Rep]

[PROXY]

What time you need for creating a resource? 1-2 weeks of working? Make a conversation with your team, share information and make your work part. Responsibilities towards the team is up to all your selves. You are complaining about you need more time, while the contest month has not even started, yet.

It just seems kinda unlogical to give a contest which has increased communications problems and so on (and the model and icons for example kinda have to match more or less perfectly, so stuff depends on each other) less time then for any other normal contest out there.

 

[IcemanBo]

It's unreasoned, or not logical at that point where conestants try it, but don't get finished within the given time span. -- and then deadline could be extended. I believe contests sometimes were too long in past, and should be shortened.

Still, you have time really sitting with a sword behind your neck right now, which I think might not be the best motivator to work (especially in this case). But heck, let's see how it turns out.

 

[Murlocologist]

Contest is called Team contest for a reason. One month is more than enough time to complete entry if team is capable of achieving teamwork.

 

[Abovegame]

Me and @MiniMage are looking for someone that will do the icons.Ping us if you want to join.

 

[Sheephunter]

If any1 need insperation on what to model my profile pic is pretty warcraft friendly.

 

[Rui]

@PROXY Agreed on what time is concerned.

Also, guess who's an awesome role model to work on?

[Edge45]

Interesting, subscribing. I'm up for icons i
if necessary.

 

[Emperor Lucas II]

@Emperor Lucas II Should I pay the rent then?

Yes.

 

[Misha]

looks like people are getting together..?

 

[Svetli]

Yes.

No. I will not pay it, you are the rich guy!

 

[Emperor Lucas II]

No. I will not pay it, you are the rich guy!

lol.
Still can't see how's that relatable.

 

[fladdermasken]

Do eImtoR.

I WANT TO BELIEVE.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I would opt in as both a spell coder and modeller.
I still need an icon artist and probably a concept artist for the design of the hero model.

I'm probably going to do a hacker goblin hero in honor of @Vexorian. His spell will be themed around throwing and squashing bugs.

I know that Vex has only 600 posts on Hiveworkshop (given the fact that he is pretty much inactive now and was always more active on WC3C), but his achievements with Newgen and vJass pretty much single-handedly kept the WC3 community alive, so the whole community owes him A LOT.

Also, the shameless self promoting here disgusts me. Turn off your egos for a bit and honor the people that actually deserve it.

 

[MyPad]

Just messaging about. Anyone want to team up with me?

 

[Statharas]

Kimberly as a rat is an interesting idea

 

[kellym0]

pfft self promotion is healthy zwiebelchen! its a sign of self confidence! even if we are only kidding! I know I was kidding! (sorta) cough cough all hail the mur'loc god cough

vexorian never said anything to me personally on wc3c, like ever, like even once, so, I never really used much of his stuff, none of it worked for me, and documentation to get it working was never written in a way I could understand. I didn't understand coding well enough to really need much use of resources from any one like vexorian. I never did once manage to ever get any form of a Vjass triggered map to ever work on bnet, so for me, honoring vexorian would of been kind of weird. (to me his stuff was of useless[because im useless lol]). I know others may feel different about that. But I don't honor those whome I don't know and don't help me much. I personally found people like IKillForYou, MiniMage, TLI_Inferno, misha, 67chrome,Heinvers and most of all jk2Patch specifically for this tutorial here guys:

Mdlvis: model edition/creation, animation and UV Mapping

to be of much more influence on me and teaching me to 3-dimensional model edit and texture edit then vexorian ever did. for me any way. who knows? maybe hes the worlds coolest guy? i've never spoken to him my self. though i'd of loved to. (Though after I sent him about 30 un answered messages, it gets a bit weird to send any more... right?...like clingy weird)

thats just my view though, and this contests theme is ok (I think) in conjunction with self promotion. thats why its in teams, not every body is good at everything, I can make icons skins and 3d models but I cant code for jack. so teams and self promotion make sense.

I for one enjoy seeing all of your guys different forms of shameless self promotion, I want you to keep it up! =D

lets make this a fun contest

 

[IcemanBo]

Contest Note:

We introduced four new teams at entries post. The teams are currently empty. To get into a team just shortly state the team name and the aspect you want to cover, and the first ones who post will be filled in!

 

[Hantoo]

@Misha @Chaosy misha are you ok to join the team?

Misha = modeler
Hayate = icon
Chaosy = spell

How ya think misha?

 

[Misha]

@Misha @Chaosy misha are you ok to join the team?

Misha = modeler
Hayate = icon
Chaosy = spell

How ya think misha?

I could, but what would we make? o3o

 

[MyPad]

I'm gonna go for scourge. Go Scourge!

 

[Loner-Magixxar]

I preferred the scourge but it's taken up already. Sign me up as Sentinel.

 

[Hantoo]

Just notifying, our team is
Chaosy - spell
Misha - model
Hayate - icon

Thanks

how i feel like applying for icons

 

[Azsure]

I feel like it would've been much more sane if one rule disallowed participants from basing the hero off someone from their own team, otherwise it feels like voting for one self in a way.

 

[Chaosy]

So wurst is not allowed? :-/

I know there is no wurst moderator, but quite frankly the difference is not big.
Especially if you know Zinc.

 

[KILLCIDE]

What's the expertise column in the team table?

 

[IcemanBo]

I don't see a technical issue with creating a hero based on someone from team.

otherwise it feels like voting for one self in a way.

What do you mean?

@Chaosy @Hayate @Misha = Team Alliance! : )

By the way, if a team wants a new name or color that is still free, then you can say so.

What's the expertise column in the team table?

Column 1 is team, Model, Icon, Spell is expertise.

Edit:

Wurst is only allowed at the point we have a Wurst judge. If you want to use Wurst, then we can look for one together.

 

[Azsure]

What do you mean?

Just my personal opinion, because I feel like if one person in the team is going to be the base hero of that team, then that member will most likely put the major lead into what his hero is going to be like, since after all, it is HIS hero. If the team made a hero of someone outside their team then that disbalance can't ocurr.

 

[IcemanBo]

participants from basing the hero off someone from their own team

->

otherwise it feels like voting for one self in a way.

that member will most likely put the major lead into what his hero is going to be like, since after all, it is HIS hero.

I can't follow your thoughts. Contestants don't vote for their own entry. A team internaly decicdes what hero to make. Where is now a problem for who exactly if they want to make create a team member?

 

[Azsure]

->I can't follow your thoughts. Contestants don't vote for their own entry. A team internaly decicdes what hero to make. Where is now a problem for who exactly if they want to make create a team member?

It's not really a critical problem, just ethically doubtful to me, because instead of splitting the work in 3 (model/spell/icon), one person will probably be taking the lead in the entire design since the hero is himself.
Again, it's not really a problem but I personally don't think it's the proper way of working as a team. But everyone can work however they want I guess, just throwing my two cents.

 

[kellym0]

I think who does exactly what is not (too) important being behind the closed doors of production, compared to having something that looks nice, I look forwards to seeing some of your guys screenies =)

 

[Yours Truly]

Would love to see a floating axe hero that wreaks havoc and incinerate every living mortal in his path

*cough* me *cough*

Hidden

that's just ridiculous

 

[KILLCIDE]

Column 1 is team, Model, Icon, Spell is expertise.

I request Team 1 be changed to the DREAM TEAM

@Direfury @Mr.Goblin

 

[Chaosy]

Whatever, I surrender. Zinc it is.

 

[MyPad]

@IcemanBo

For the coders, are we allowed to use libraries that will ease our coding paradigm (missile generation, onDamage effects, and such) or do we have to implement them ourselves?

 

[IcemanBo]

@Azsure , I believe it's a team topic, and not even sure it's very bad if someone trys to push the team. If it makes it a bit better, work sharing isn't meant like someone can force other experts to work for him. But anyways.. thanks for sharing thoughts.

I request Team 1 be changed to the DREAM TEAM

Ok.

Whatever, I surrender. Zinc it is.

You surrender that you don't want to pariticpate anymore, or you don't want bother for a wurst judge?

For the coders, are we allowed to use libraries that will ease our coding paradigm (missile generation, onDamage effects, and such) or do we have to implement them ourselves?

In code rules I stated this:

• The use of enhancing systems is permitted as long as their contribution is not the major aspect of the final entry. Clarification matters on certain libraries/snippets should be discussed with judges in the contest thread, in case of uncertainty.

Intuitivly I don't see an issue with onDamage system. Missile might be okay, too, but use your own sense -- is it only a "helping library", which is allowed, or does it actually define your spell mainly? (not allowed) If your whole spell logics is defined by configuring the missile library, then it's not a good way.

Guys, we have still some open slots! Teams

 

[Chaosy]

Just wont bother for a wurst judge, I will go with Zinc instead.

 

[Misha]

Hmm.. this one can show a WIP, yes?

 

[Shar Dundred]

@Misha: Is that @San?

 

[Astaroth Zion]

We are entering the contest:

@Just_Spectating => Icons
@Spellbound => Spell
@Astaroth Zion => Model

 

[IcemanBo]

What team name / color do you want?

Same to team @PROXY @~Nightmare @Kyrbi0 , if you wish.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

@IcemanBo you still haven't answered my query about Wurst in an acceptable fashion.

Are you aware that this is makes me actively disadvantaged in the context of the contest?

 

[Chaosy]

Well, obviously you cannot use wurst if there is no judge that knows the language.
I want to use it as well, but I realize it cannot be done as things stand.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Well, obviously you cannot use wurst if there is no judge that knows the language.
I want to use it as well, but I realize it cannot be done as things stand.

I don't think that's true. There is precedent for having contests that allow wurst either without a wurst expert or before a wurst expert has been found.

@IcemanBo if users are being gated by this then I'm happy to submit myself as a coding judge (for wurst or anything else), even if that means I won't participate in the contest.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Are we allowed to create a subset abilities that come from the "one" ability? Or is it strictly ONE ability?

 

[kellym0]

@Misha a lich and a sorceress? thats interesting to see combined. I wonder if your gona use the dark ranger texture, that combined with the already lich texture could look really nice.

 

[Chaosy]

Damn then I think I will wait for a bit. Already started on my submission. Still early enough to swap.

 

[Villainous]

I'll never ever credit General Frank when I used his models. why? He's very fucking annoying to give me zero reputation.
He can't give shit to gods like me.
