Yes, I said she was a human died in a war. If you win the map she will get her souls and will turn to her intial human state.
Ah, yes I will fix all this problems in the final update.
Yeah!
Well, every one will/maybe think that she is undead from the starting of the map. Without reading the story this thought is not a strange thing.
To Tickles:
Thank you so much! I can't believe I got help from a Mapping Champion! Anyway, I took all your suggestions in heart as you can see. However, some of them cannot be apply and here's why:
1. Disabling Black Mask entirely will also remove the "Magic" feeling of this map. It will render exploration and map detail analysis significantly easy. Ghost shouldn't be predictable even to dodge so taht's why you need to be careful and you have to be lucky sometimes.
2. I cannot Off all the Ghosts at once due to it's wait sequences. I made just made the Player Invulnerable during conversations.
3. About the fog, It's nice in zoom/tilt view (mouse 3 zoom) but I cannot seem to make it thinker in regular view. I tried tinkering the "Use Terrain Fog" but it made the whole map awful even after the finish game sequence.
PS: My heart skipped in gladness as you said "Oh Shit" while playing. This map served it's purpose to you. (Evil Laugh)
Great job with all of the changes and additions (even the unlisted things like flares going directly into the player's inventory), and you did it so fast. I really enjoyed it this time around without any frustrations with the ghosts. I only took damage from making my own stupid mistakes
I'm working on my map according to your points.
. I have no WIP's today hard to pic. out 
Hey @Tickles, I've updated my map. Can you take a look at it and tell me your suggestions?? ==> Mini-Mapping Contest #13 - Ghastly RealmTickles needs to learn how to hit the refresh button more often
You created an interesting world. I wasn't really invested in the story, but gaining new abilities according to the souls obtained was more fun than sinking skill points in for no reason. And some suggestions:
So you have a good baseline for the map, but now you can fill it in with all the yummy things that will make it feel better to play.
- A lot of the environment looks nice, but there was a lot of clipping in the walkable platforms where parts of the models would glitch through each other. You can avoid that by making them very slightly taller or shorter than each other, or you can just move them just outside the bounds of each other.
- Using the same stone floor at different sizes looks a bit strange. When it's very large, the texture looks too stretched. When it's small like when used up higher in the decoration, it looks out of place. I suggest finding more types of platforms you can use and tile many of them instead of stretching them out.
- Custom abilities with interesting effects are desperately needed. Even though the way you gain them is cool, I was bummed out to get default spells. There isn't even a reason to use Death Coil when you have Firebolt.
- It's great that you have multiple difficulties, but they all felt easier than they should have. I think it would be a lot more interesting if you had powerful hero bosses which level up based on the difficulty chosen.
- Having strong bosses would also make the game feel longer, because it feels cut extremely short as it is now. I was really expecting at least a boss at the end after acquiring all of the souls as a sort of ritual to combine them.
Does this rule still apply?
The beefy guards are a nice touch, although they could use some abilities of their own. It's good the player can decide when they're ready to fight them instead of being jumped immediately after fighting the other enemies, but I would use something other than a chat command. Maybe the player gets the first attack on the guard and activates the combat that way?
It's good you found time to work on it, but yeah, I had that problem with another map of mine. Hopefully you find a way around it or to adapt to it.
Well, I will think about this.
It will be fixed.
I will do this.
It will be fixed.
Yes, I'm working hours and hours on this two projects.
Images are not view-able due to your album's privacy settings. Would you mind making it available to everyone?
Woops! It should be fixed now
Too bad. I was working on something as well. I reinstalled WC3 after patch and didn't remember my work was in the Maps\Downloads - folder...
I had almost finished the mechanics but it still needs hours of work so I'm out of this contest. I will however upload the map to the maps section once its done ^^

Gameplay
|
|
Parallux is a single player puzzle map. It contains over an hour of continuous puzzles to solve in which only arrow keys are used to move around. The environment gradually shifts along with the difficulty of its puzzles throughout the game. There are no quests, no dialog, no combat, and no spells to cast. You simply use logic and persistence to tackle each puzzle as they grow and become more intricate. Each level requires colored souls to complete. There are also bonus white souls with hidden paths to them. |
