Make a New Map Category!!!!!!!

[i2ichardt]

You should make a map category where people can make maps that contain triggers that people can use in there maps. Sorta like a Tutorial section but with maps instead of text.

Because the inorder to add an map example to a tutorial section that is currently on here you would have to upload the map to an already existing category for the maps like : Defense, Offense, Mini-game.

Whenever, the map ready shouldn't go there.

Example:

- A map that contains and demonstrates and unprotected triggers to flawlessly open and close a gate, without closing on someone while they are trying to go through it.

- A map that contains and demonstrates and unprotected triggers for a perfectly working save/load system that is universal

- A map that contains and demonstrates and unprotected triggers for making items so that they can only be carried by a melee or ranged hero...etc..

The Maps Section is really only for completed maps. As a result, "parts" of maps tend to end up in the Spells Section, which has categories to accommodate this.

Doesn't that tell you that we do need a section for these types of maps "parts of maps".

I think these types of maps im taking about are really improtant in the education of "noob" map makers.

Calling them "parts" doesn't work for me, because i view them more as tutorials.

If the Admins would make a poll for this on the main page or where it would be most appropriate that would be really kewl.

i2ichardt does have a point
If you were a noob looking for a tutorial map... wouldn't you look in the... uhhh... map section?

You could make a "tutorial" catagory and just have maps from the spells section show up in both places.
There are already lots of "script maps" mixed in with the other ones.

And I also think "misc." should be the deafult catagory, because people don't always take time to choose the right catagory.

Ehhh just my opinion

If you people really benefit help by learning on purpose from a map which is designed to teach you something in a way, the maps section is not a good idea.

Another category there is also not a good idea. People can just upload the support map elsewhere and link it. Could be in a tutorial which saves alot of writing.

The spells section could also change name to Tutorial-section and have different categorys like the maps.

Cathegorys for Tutorial-section would be:
Spells
Triggers
Terrain
Misc

There is already a tutorial section and its has the tutorials what users need. A category in the tutorial section would be a great idea however.
