Just nod if you can hear me...

I joined maybe a couple weeks ago and posted a few times but forgot to post a thread on this page.

I grew up playing RTS games like C&C, WC, and SC and I like messing around with them. I've never really joined a modding forum before since I generally only play the stuff I make myself or give it to a few of my friends who like gaming. WC3 seems to be a little more involved than other games and I really want to make something "professional" looking in the campaign I'm making. I've made my share of melee maps, but this is my first campaign. I'm often too busy to devote tons of time to the project. It may take me awhile to complete, but it's a nice passtime. Thanks for this great resource at the Hive!

Likes: soccer, evolutionary biology, brewing, and not being eaten by zombies
Dislikes: being eaten by zombies, ex-girlfriends with personality disorders, woo, drug-resistant gonorrhea, and the new McDonalds Soylentburger (it's only half people- the rest is just this nasty filler).
Indifferent toward: lists of likes and dislikes
Social security number, bank account / routing number - HAH! I'm not giving that out to anybody but my long-lost Nigerian relatives...

Hi there Zarathustra and Welcome to THW community!

The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules

• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

Also about maps:
If you decide to create map please check some tutorials first!
For unfinished maps, use Map Development forum! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

Once when you create awesome map, and upload it to site, guys like me will check them and give suggestions, hints and so on!
