Hello everyone who is still active and making wc3 maps, I am going to be starting a new project in warcraft 3 where I was wondering if others would like to contribute to the work. I am looking for all types of mapmakers:
Terrain designers
Trigger makers
Ability designers
Item designers
Lore contribution
Model / Art designers
ect.....

I am not asking others to do all the work, I will be doing triggers, abilities, items and lore as well as be the lead designer of the game.
This game is going to be a type of AOS (Dota type map, but not even close to Dota)

If you would like to be part of this; we will accept anyone who wants to contribute, experienced and inexperienced (can help improve inexperienced people).
If you want any more information on it, have any questions or think you might want to participate; email [email protected] or message on hiveworkshop and I will get back to you as soon as possible

Please remember that contribution will only be charity, only rewards we will be able to give is personal thanks, credit for contribution, a good time and knowing that you helped make a hopefully really good game.

Can I be a modeler? I'm quite the pro at importing models.
Also, I make a mean Gate open trigger, so can I be a triggerer too?
And I once made TWO, not one, but TWO items for a map.

Oh, this is an introduction thread?
... Hello, welcome to the hive :)
I'm sure you'll find someone to help you in the Projects Recruitment thread.
Enjoy your stay ^.^

Yep. Of course you're not planning to make people create your dream map while you only "organize" stuff, right?


Right? Right?

No that is not my plan, I am very familiar with the editor and I will be doing a most of the work, the other people will be for helping and spreading out the work a bit.


What do you mean put that in the correct section?

Now, words of advice. We here at Hive are cranky old bastards, we do Not like it when people sign up and start asking for people to help make their "superawesomeleetmap3001!!!11!!1". If you wish to actually get reasonable responses, produce a GOOD map yourself first, maybe even an Alpha of your current project.

There have been Way too many times where the vision of one guy wasted a shitload of peoples time and energy, lots of dead projects out there. OH and make sure your map submissions actually Match the posting guidelines, hell of alot of maps are rejected without even being played just for not having a description. This isn't Epicwar, we have standards.

And now onto the type of game, don't you think there are enough AoS type games out there? I can count dozens of them off the type of my head. Instead of just making another bland clone, you could try to make a unique game that plays like none other within Wc3.

Sorry I am new so i will repost there, if you could tell me how to delete this post I will as soon as possible, now not once did I say my map was leet or anything, I just wanted help so don't make the assumption that I am thinking like that, making a map to show would be good but alas all the time I do have which is minimal I do want to put towards this map idea. And I agree lots of dead projects would lead you to believe this. And before posting the map I will try to folow the posting guidelines as best as possible.
Okay it's fair to say that my idea isn't completely original but I am stagnating a big difference to the Dota style maps, my map idea includes a very different combat system then you would find in any AOE and the only reason I say AOE is because that's what the map base will look like, where you get waves of creatures ect... Sure it's not as unique as it could be but the fighting in the game (the main part of any Dota like game) will hopefully separate it enough to not be included into 'just another Dota game.
One last question, does anyone actually get on Wc3 anymore? I'd like a channel I could go to if other people are on.

I'll answer by Paragraph

1. It's OUR perspective, everyone thinks you are just using people to get your dream map without any work by yourself. So show you can actually work first.

2. Different combat system? Elaborate, I give it a 90% chance of being done already.

3. Most actual People are on RoC or Garena. Less bots on RoC

Fair to assume, but I will try my best to finish it and make it good, will it be super awesome? Can't say, not saying it will not saying it couldn't be good

It may have been done, I hope not I'll explain it to you in a private message if you'd like and if you can think of a game that has already done it then it will not be 100% unique and you can rub it in my face. (Or if you even wanna get on wc3 i'd tell you there so it's more communication and less paragraphs)

I just checked those two channels and no one are in them... Which server is it on?
