This feels more like a system from the triggers and description. Are you sure it's a playable/working map? How much gameplay time do you say it offers?
If it's not finished and not even late beta, it should go in Map Development
Reply please if you feel like it should be moved to Custom Warcraft 3 Spells & Systems GUI / JASS / Lua

I swears it's a map. It has a little cinematic and a first tutorial and everything. It is a fully functional demo (several minutes to the rest of your life), dunno what that qualifies as. I didn't make it to be WCMDraft6 or anything.

I make systems so I can make maps.

It's intended as a teaser but I can roll it on at any time. I could add a hundred WoW quests or a billion mob waves right now if I wanted, but it'd just be pretending while I made More Content. I thought this would be more fun.

Technically a whole campaign (or multitude/actual game) just takes place on this single map, and I've uploaded the tutorial level (short as it is) - that's the gimmick in traditional terms.


If you want me to fulfil some kind of initial content requirement, I can do that.

Also I'm more than happy for people to look at the code (since it rite dere), but it's still my special Iron Giant umbilical baby. Also the system itself (in technical whole) is the part that isn't finished, so wouldn't be right.

Ty for reading. C:

(Basically I just think I'm reliable for updates.)

If it has the campaign tag, it should be in w3n format or have a reason for being a pack of separate maps.
Yes, there currently are individual maps in the campaign section at the moment, due to some new rule where a single map from a campaign is considered complete (bad rule in my opinion), but at least those authors claim (?) they will continue with their projects and post more maps in the future --- from what you have said, this is just an individual map. It really shouldn't have the campaign tag.

1. Somewhat nice controls but not hiding the lower UI is really annoying. At least make an option to see stuff from a bigger distance since everything is like in the camera.
2. However, using right click instead of another key on the left of the keyboard, ruins a proper chance, without stopping, to use other keys for abilities and such.
3. Somehow I managed to make the dragon fly upside down... probably went too far up or something. Actually, it's because I tilted too much up. Can be fixed by doing that again but it's pretty annoying.
4. Would be nice for the axis not to be inverted. Up keys leads the dragon to face downard and the down key up.
5. The dragon mother suddenly froze and disappeared after talking about bringing milk.

Nothing else happens afterwards. There's no land to do stuff on. It's just empty space.

I can't approve this in this state. As I mentioned, this is more of a system than playable map.

Lacking for now.

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.

Shoulda waited a bit longer, but I won't hold it against ya. Almost finished the update, too, wuz just taking a break.

I agree the lower UI is annoying, but also it's useful and faster than a custom one atm, so of all these things, this is the least likely to be changed immediately, at least I have no plans for it atm. I find hokey "I modded this" Warcraft amusing.

There's actually only so many options in the Warcraft editor for controls, so I've made the best choices I could. If you use letterbox mode, for example, it locks out a lot of controls.

The zoom has been altered (plus an option) in the update, partly because of that, and also there's an inbuilt Warcraft rendering issue to fix, and it helps.

Yep, I fixed the weird upside-down issue for the patch too. Roll value.

Key inversion is normal to me, but I'll put in an option for it.

1. The dragon mother suddenly froze and disappeared after talking about bringing milk.

Yes.

That's fine, there's no need for you to be inconsistent for me especially and indulge my sense of humour. So we'll just come back to this after I've rolled out the update. It won't be the final update, but it'll have the gameplay and such you asked for.
