Maps Section

Exactly. There are the map rules, but most people don't bother reading them.

90% of them are probably mentally retarded especially when they been warn soo many times and yet they repeat the same offense.

Some of them whining about the update function being too complicated for them. I was like "WTF", the first time I visit here and upload my first submission. I could update my submission without any problem, so how could they face such a problem?

I don't think you will. A lot of people register and bam upload map. That's it. And the rest allready know the process and the rules. So not much can be changed.

When those does not follow rules and get -rep or banned, they cry and flame the mod. Which are rather annoying, they even start a drama and pretend to be innocent. :=/

Bounty, first of all I DONT have multi accounts,for God's shake and second that's the old version of my map, Nice and easy for you to show them the oldest version. The newest is in my Signature.

What bounty mean are those who account who said your map awesome without any acknowledge of what is a good map.

P.S. If you go to the mainpage of the site Warcraft 3 Maps @ IncGamers - Warcraft 3 Mods, Addons, and More! my RPG is 1st suggestion... And that site is the official map site of Blizzard. Thank you for opening my eyes to edit the terrain, looks like its a hit.

Do you know how useless that site is by now?

( as well as on other sites too )

Why don't you upload your map to wc3c.net since you said it would be approve at other site as well? At that site, there is 90% chances of them given you the exact answer like bounty does.

all I know i the hundreds of positive comments I got from my map,

Getting hundred or billions of positive feedback that are praising the map and not telling you what's wrong about the map are likely to be kissing your ass. Do you have any idea how many people does not know what is a good quality map is?

Lol. A bunch of newbs... Some members here reviewed the maps and said it is 3/5 ( Popular members here not newbs).

Not every senior member at this site are expert about map. For example, General Frank could give a vast knowledge and constructive critism of a good model; but he might not be able to give a vast knowledge and constructive critism about spells.

Also how come the map is approved in ALL other sites i uploaded it except from this one...

Do not bet on it, you probably haven't submit your map to wc3c.net. Other site such as thehelper.net and epicwar.com would simply approve anything and everything.

I even seen the thehelper.net have approve some map related to Nazi and some horrible quality work as well.

The only site I seen with a decent quality control is Hiveworkshop, the rest was like pointless (Except wc3c.net).

 

[HFR]

Wc3c.net simply shot randomic at all the maps. Those who survive are approved xD

I agree with you in every word. The other sites asides from our beloved Hive and Wc3c simply approve any maps. But, Nazi? This is really true?

Anyway, I'd preffer to see 1 people reviewing my map, pointing the errors, really playing it (in case of cinematic, watching it), than a bunch of "Nice 5/5!".

 

[br_shadow]

Septimus i have uploaded my map at wc3c.net. Also by meaning hundreds of positive comments, I mean thet people LIKE the map ! And if people like it why not uploading it ? Because it doesn't stands a moderators criteria ? And why stop people that like it find it and download it ?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Stop whining.

Now stop with the off topic, or I'l start reporting posts.

 

[br_shadow]

Stop whining.

Now stop with the off topic, or I'l start reporting posts.

Omg. Who's whining ? Im answering

 

[HFR]

This isn't the place. Back on topic, this isn't so difficult...

Anyway, how about a killing software, for deleting fail maps automaticaly?

 

[bounty hunter2]

You are telling that your map should be approved, when its rejected. Sounds like whining. Anyhow you can always put your case in the map resource moderation forum if you think you weren't treated fairly.

This thread isn't about your map, now seriously stay on topic.

HFR: Isn't really possible.

 

[HFR]

Too bad them, but we non moderators can always post some fail pics in those maps xD

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

This can be a place where people can request detaied feedback on maps if they feel that the mods didn't do enough. Since the map section is flooded, this would be a good place. Enough abput BF's map and "how it's popular on battle.net"
We all know how much it takes to entertaiin a bunch of kids on the internet. My very first post sums it up.

Anyway, here's your detailed map analysis.

Overall, i'd rate the map a 2.5/5.
Here is basically a list of pro's and cons

Pros
Sadly there were only 2 things that stood out to me.
-Decent terrain (no height variation however)
-Detailed how-to's for each hero.

Cons
There was a large list of things that initially turned me away from the map.
-First off, the game is one of those games that doesn't run properly without all the players. I play a lot of LAN games and because of this, i probably would never play this game.
-some minor grammar mistakes that were somewhat distracting.
-No credit given to anyone
-Incomplete tooltips, bad button positions, and some messed up hotkeys (summon volvagia)
-Items didn't have hotkeys which i found to be sort of annoying.
-The initial mana of the heroes didn't support any spell.
-Some of your textures didn't hae complete paths, producing that stupid green icon.
-Your allied buildings showed themselves producing hours/minutes.
-Some of your buildings had no pathing, allowing units to walk through them.
-Your quests were barely described and the only way to know what to do was to inspect the quest log.
-The ninjas at the beginning are way too powerful and abundant. One hero ouldn't even fight a single one alone.

Suggestions
-Remove the wisps for absent players
-Remove vision of the hro selection circle after selecting a hero
-Make the archers in the town do something other than standing
-Make the animals in the town neutral so they wander
-Add a respawn timer
-Spice up your game display. your messages are plain and it causes people to easily lose interest.

Overview
I don't think this map should have been rejected. It didn't break any rules and the map was pretty well developed. I think if the issues mentioned were fixed, this map should be on its way for approval.

 

[bounty hunter2]

No this can't be the place since we have the Map Moderation Forum for the purposse.

 

[HFR]

Correct, please stop with the reviews.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

No this can't be the place since we have the Map Moderation Forum for the purposse.

Map moderation is ll mods, it's biased.
and i had no sucess with it, yet my thread was removed from it. your mod rui
didn't give me any constructive answer and what he said never even ended up being the case.If the mods reject a resource, the idea in their head is still gonna be "reject, reject, this is crap"

 

[bounty hunter2]

I don't know your situation there, but threads do get checked, I usually check in there every couple of days or so.

And if someone uploads a map, gets rejected, then the next day it gets uploaded, ofcourse it will get rejected. I don't know if that was the case with you.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

no it wasnt. i'm just saying i dont think your mods are all fair.
and the situation isnt reuploading, its posting in the map moderation forum.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Not that, I'm saying that if you upload a map and then it gets rejected, and then you update it the next day, it couldn't possibly be fixed in one day.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

I agree. Hopefuly br_shadow reads my review and makes the changes.

Thank you for playing my map. There are some things that agree and some not.

-Whisps are removed for absent players, as you can see there are Timed Life.

-Hero selection system is removed after the first quest because it will be a a part of playable map area.

-Well what can i say about the archers... i can animate them..

- Animals too..

- Respawn timer for heroes you mean? Yes i suppose thats a detail but ok.

- Yeah they do, also it's a bit hard for a newb to play the map, i release those version to erase the bugs first, and when i'm sure about that i will release a final version with more cinematics.

- As for the mana, yes I did that intentionally about the mana capacity at start because th mana is Chi ( also if it runs out you die ). So it's logical at start you are newb at spells then as you grow up you advance....

-AS for the icons. yeah i didn't use the DISABLED btn icons to lower filesize.

- Hours/Minutes at castle, omg i didn't think anyone would go so far at reviewing.

- As for the ninjas.. You picked the wrong area to lvl. As i said the game is still plain in quest system and needs more cinematics. A time consuming work, but i guess they will be a part of the map in the next version.

-About the credits.. they are all given to the end. I know it's not a common way but it encourages mods to play the whole map. xD

Thank you again for your review.

 

[HFR]

Lol, disabled icons are so small...

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Disabled buttons are a must.

Good luck with the map. As I said, it's a good concept. I'd like to see it well developed. Don't rush to publish versions. Perfect it and release the final, good version

 

[Septimus]

Not that, I'm saying that if you upload a map and then it gets rejected, and then you update it the next day, it couldn't possibly be fixed in one day.

Yep, that is the main question especially for rejected work.

I agree. Hopefuly br_shadow reads my review and makes the changes.

What you tell him is the exact thing I told him back at his visitor message.

-Whisps are removed for absent players, as you can see there are Timed Life.

This is unprofessional. Player could possibly afk for awhile and if they came back to see they are unable to select a hero, they might think the map is bugged. You could have set a trigger to check if the slot is playable or not.

-AS for the icons. yeah i didn't use the DISABLED btn icons to lower filesize.

It is a must, either you choose not to import it or you import the disable icon together.

-About the credits.. they are all given to the end. I know it's not a common way but it encourages mods to play the whole map. xD

This is not the right way to do so. If the map is well polish and good, the staff would play till the end. If it was awful, they might probably play for a certain period of time and if they found nothing wrong with it. They would approve it, if they do not see the credit. They might think you did not add a proper credit and would decided to reject it instead of approve it.

- As for the mana, yes I did that intentionally about the mana capacity at start because th mana is Chi ( also if it runs out you die ). So it's logical at start you are newb at spells then as you grow up you advance....

You could have set the spells require to be use at certain level, setting it this way make it look unpolish and awful.

Don't rush to publish versions. Perfect it and release the final, good version

Exactly, map section is for map that are decently polish. That's mean's no hotkey error and all icon are working at the way it suppose to be.

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Good reinforcement of what was said. Thanks.
Br_Shadow will surely take these notes into consideration. This is what every mapmaker needs to learn. People with rejected maps need to be pointed in this direction.

 

[Gilles]

Site Discussion ins't the place to review, or discuss someone's map. Please get back on topic, although I'm not exactly sure what that topic is.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Uhh... okay.

The maps section oon Hiveworkshop is overflowing!
What do we do?
Let's discuss it.

 

[busterkomo]

At one point I used to review and give my recommendation to 1-2 maps everyday. I even re-evaluated my review template a few times in the process. I've been reviewing less and less after realizing how insignificant effect a user without map moderation powers really makes. Moderators only seem to take recommendations for approval into account when several reviews are done upon the same map. I chose to review maps that had not yet been reviewed to spread the mini-mods' feedback across as many members as possible. Without the support of any other mini-moderators, I was unable to do much to help the map section.

 

[graystuff111]

Its stupid, I'm probably never playing another wc3 map, and I'm defiantly not making any more myself. The entire idea of this site is to provide a constructive place for creative individuals to develop their ideas and enhance the wc3 game, but because of this filth, all of these crappy map spams are ruining it. I really don't know a solution, but I do know that many people just try to post their maps without contributing to the forums. Like you said, the people who spam those crappy maps aren't the types to look at forums, so a restriction on your post count before you can upload a map may help reduce the flow, and make more quality input. I really don't know though, finding a decent map in that section is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I know I'm guilty of a couple of crappy maps, but I can assure you that I'm not contributing to that stupid situation anymore. The hive should push quality maps by maybe having a spot in the front news section, where a weekly top 5 scoring maps would be featured, much like Newground's Audio Portal. Whatever the solution is though, this should be treated as a serous problem.

Rui already did that. We even have a top this month category to show which map have the most download.

I agree. This is why I would never comment-evaluate work. Only specifically work with someone. Like a tutor. Seems like a good enough idea to me, only "this isnt the place"

 

[graystuff111]

Heh, my bad... I still that their post count should be over like 50 or so to be able to submit a map. This could promote useless spamming and such, but it could also have some benifits

The Map Resource Moderation forum is a place for you to request a second opinion on your map. I don't know what you mean with it being biased.

We do not remove threads from the forum. And if my reply didn't answer your question, reply back and tell me exactly what you mean.

Plus, the idea on the moderators' head is not "reject, reject, this is crap". I can't see how this connects to the rest of your statement, but to be honest I didn't even know from where I should start replying to it.
The moderators' review consists on their opinion of your map. Its tendency is to tell you what they thought about it. They're going to tell you how to improve. Do you get that from the all the users? No, you don't. You get a post which tells you nothing in that regard.
Not happy with the criticism you get? Don't post your map here. Go to places where you receive that kind of empty comments I mentioned, if you really prefer to think your map is the best.

I can't tell how objective your comment is until I check the other mini-moderators' reviews. I don't know of a way to tell you exactly how I do it, but I send you a recommendation: participate on map testing sessions.


To the people writing on this thread: take your opinions on X map elsewhere. I accept this thread to be here if the topic's subject remains "unfair mods".

 

[Septimus]

Map testing sessions are impossible for some users.

For example, it was impossible for someone from Asian to join a Europe game (I am sure you know what I mean).

 

[busterkomo]

I don't know of a way to tell you exactly how I do it, but I send you a recommendation: participate on map testing sessions.

I try to, but the time zone difference poses quite a problem for me.

Also, my review is probably not as good if I'd just played with myself and a few random people. Otherwise, my review will end up being more of a reflection on the criticism the other reviewers brought up during the game, when it should be solely my opinion of the map.

The ide of this thread isnt "individual map discussion", nor is it "unfair mods" It's a place to post opinions on the map section altogether.

The map resource review, imo, is biased because the mods know the map has been rejected. The same thought will be in their head and unless a good reason is specified, the map's status will remain. It's like trying to prove a convicted person innocent.

As far as your review went, I just requested a status update. I got short, nonconcise answers that really didn't help. If i requested a further response, it was replied to much later. If this is the case with everyone, the whole process might as well be pointless.

The "reject, reject, this is crap" applied to the rest of the statement in reinforcing my thought of bias. I thought I made that clear.

 

[Septimus]

Usually a rejected resources would be given the 2nd opportunity. If a user does not use this opportunity properly, it would be rejected permanent.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

I had mp rejected without even being looked at. When I asked about it, I was told the map wasn't rejected. I opened the maps section and it was no where to found; looked in the rejected folder and there it was. I kept sking about it and eventually it just got accepted. With no review.
lol i don't get it.

 

[Rui]

The ide of this thread isnt "individual map discussion", nor is it "unfair mods" It's a place to post opinions on the map section altogether.

I thought I had created a topic specifically for that.

No, don't bother posting in there now. I might just merge the threads later, if needed.

The map resource review, imo, is biased because the mods know the map has been rejected. The same thought will be in their head and unless a good reason is specified, the map's status will remain. It's like trying to prove a convicted person innocent.

Are you suggesting that after we finish playing the map we already know what status we're going to set it to? That's true, most of the times, because we discuss things as they run while we're in-game.

If you're suggesting that it's useless to re-review a map because it has been rejected, then I doubt it. Unless you have limited your work to fixing only a couple of small mistakes (which is what happens most of the times) instead of dealing with all we mentioned, your map has good chances of having its status changed.

As far as your review went, I just requested a status update. I got short, nonconcise answers that really didn't help. If i requested a further response, it was replied to much later. If this is the case with everyone, the whole process might as well be pointless.

I don't recall ever dealing with a map of yours, but I'll do my best to fix what was done wrong if you point me to your resource.

About the late replies, I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I have real life too, and a lot of work to do on the website.

The "reject, reject, this is crap" applied to the rest of the statement in reinforcing my thought of bias. I thought I made that clear.

So, you're saying moderators do not care for the authors' pleas if the resource in question has been rejected? Well, I don't really keep a diary of every map I test, and the proof of that is that I don't remember ever playing a map of yours. Even if I recall some parts I played of the gameplay after I check the map and its review, I can't remember everything.
But back to the point. If this does happen, you're welcome to report it, especially if it implies Maps, Spells, or Tools.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Im simply saying that having a couple non-moderators review along with the moderators review would produce better results. don't point me in the direction of going about that, I am just making a statement. I know there are mini moderators, but who knows what sort of impact those have anyway.

 

[Rui]

I try to make a mixture of those, but not all mini-moderators are available at all times, as you can see for hvo-busterkomo's case.

Oh, hvo, I forgot to answer you! So sorry.

I try to, but the time zone difference poses quite a problem for me.

Also, my review is probably not as good if I'd just played with myself and a few random people. Otherwise, my review will end up being more of a reflection on the criticism the other reviewers brought up during the game, when it should be solely my opinion of the map.

I understand the problem with the time zone. But I remember you participating on a couple of tests.

I'm sure you can provide an independent opinion on the map even if you play with other people. What I was going to suggest was that you teamed up with one or more persons.
I believe it's helpful to have other people testing with you, since they can mention things you forgot. From that point, you only need to speak your opinion on that matter.

We can't go forcing mini-mods telling them go and review maps! And then point them on some maps. It's basically our review and perhaps a couple of others, that can be helpful or not. There is a amount of mini-mods, but no one to active.

I'm happy if they do one review a week.

We can't really change that, the activity of them. Septimus is for instance quite active but he mostly goes on the 1/5 maps.

To both of you, who sid you need to use mini mods? Why not respected users. Or someone with an approved map that has a good rating. That's all you need, someone who knows what's good with maps and understands the moderation criteria.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Seriously? Why haven't we thought of such a good idea :/

Come on, in average I go across ten to twenty maps daily. Any of your so called respected user could have the will to go over one map a week.

Would that help? I doubt. Anyone who wants a second opinion can go and ask other people, including the "respected" users to give them one.

br_shadow asked Poot how long ago? I won't go back into the thread but I'm sure it's been a week. Has Poot responded? No.

Ergo.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Maybe you're looking in the wrong place. Just like rui said, people have a life. No one can completely dedicate themself to warcraft. I'm saying those users would be the most eligible for help, seeing how the moderators don't seem to be getting much done. The only thing all of them seem to do is make sarcastic remarks about any suggestion made to them. I'm sure you could go through this thread and find at least 20.

 

[WraithSeeker]

I don't know why, but you people over here at THW seems to review maps with pain though.

In wc3c pages don't go further then 3 pages unless it's quality map and there is many feedback given.

I am sure CG will execute maps that aren't proper in wc3c at least. Maybe you all need more map moderators, looking at the amount of maps submitted here is really depressing since there is too many..

The review process on wc3c & THW is different. I know the review process at wc3c makes it sure that only quality maps go in the map section. But hey just see the difference in the amount of maps submitted at both the sites. If the exact lengthy process of reviews is done here the situation of map section will worsen.

The reason the process is successful there is that there are only around 600 active users there & here we have around 12000 users & the number is growing fastly. Just one month ago it was around 11000.

About more map moderators. I will support that thing for sure. Any suggestions?

The moderators don't seem to get much done? Now I feel insulted. I became a mod about two - three months ago, the map section counted 46 pages.

Today it has only 20 pages. Don't tell me that the moderators don't get much done. Suggestions? Was there any useful one? I don't think so. You propose getting more people to review maps, I told you we have mini-mods, and the rest don't really bother with maps. If you want respected users to check your maps ask them. The rest are modders in other fields and hardly play maps. There are some people who are artists, and the rest are mostly newbs, atleast in mapmaking, thus most of them will jist write 5/5 good job.

As for more map moderators, that you should ask Rui about, but I don't think that anyone has met the required, not yet.

Wraith, we get in average 15 maps here, do you seriously think we have time to wait for mass reviews on them. Its one or two reviews max, if we would wait the map section would contain hundrets of pending pages.

 

[Septimus]

Correction, 25 map in a average.

As for more map moderators, that you should ask Rui about, but I don't think that anyone has met the required, not yet.

Wraith, we get in average 15 maps here, do you seriously think we have time to wait for mass reviews on them. Its one or two reviews max, if we would wait the map section would contain hundrets of pending pages.

Considering i had maps go at lest 2 months with a pending status, and the models section hs had the same models pending since last week, no I don't think the moderators are getting anything done. I was told that the maps are moderated from oldest to newest, yet i see new maps get uploaded and are reviewed before mine are. Don't complain to me because you trust unreliable members to do your map reviews. It's a community your mods created, it shouldnt be my responsibility to get them to do their jobs. If you can't handle the work, don't be a modeerator. I had a request thread that was thriving, and it was closed because I coudn't keep up with the requests; the same concept chould apply to you. Close the uploads on the map section and review all the maps, then allow users to upload. As a community member I am making suggestions to solve an obvious problem. Take it how far you want, but don't reply to them with your sarcastic remarks, as you have to a couple above.

Newest map that are review right away are usually those crappy resources that violate rules. Paid attention to it.

Closing the upload would resulted into several thread been posted at site suggestion asking what happen.

And you don't know how tough it was to handle a massive amount of map (I know how hard it was and I am not joking about it).

Some map could took about 2 hours in reviewing to ensure it was 100% safe enough to be use. There is plenty of reason that delay the reviewing.

Hello? Where have you been? As I said the map section was flooded, this reason or another. Now I am unflooding it, 46 pages > 20, your map will get reviewed eventually.

Who complains to you? What are you talking about? You are the one complaining.

No we can't close the map section, as you see it is getting solved.

The problem existed before, not it is almost gone.

It's funny that very little people submit low quality stuff to wc3c with little moderators to review but low quality stuffs always get submitted to to THW.

Maybe time to implement some of wc3c rules?
