Advice: 5 points are the highest rating and 1 point is the lowest rating.

Documentation: 3
Visual Effects: 5
Triggering: 4
Idea: 3

Total:

The triggering is leakless and MUI. But you really should add a condition that check that the missiles of your volcano don't move above the map bounds.

Again you could add some more documentation for example how to import your spell. But apart from these things you done a neat spell, keep up the good work. I just can recommend to use this spell if you are searching something like this.

Advice: If you didn't understood my rating or if you maybe have questions because you don't know how to fix bugs or leaks etc. You can always send a private message to me. I will answer as soon I got time.

lolwut? we have volcano done by wc3 but whatever ^^

Edit: Looks wierd and you should fix that the volcano grows to full size faster and when done it will go down. And when cast 2 - 3 times it will cause alot of lagg :x

 

[aaron]

lol nice but i agree with dynasti... but atleast now it looks like u made it into a spell.

This volcano is quite different, it is capable of using 3 different missile and impact SFX types, and it does not stun, and you don't need to set the number of shoots every interval, you just got a interval, which may look better than these unreal looking waves in a perfectly cubic way.

This Volcano was made as a alternative to the stunning volcano.

1st comment yey

Well these are my ratings :

Spell Design : 6/10
Spell Effects : 5/10

Overall: 5/10

Description:
Well the spell is nice , but it would be much better if you add sound when rock / fire missile crashes at floor , because right now it doesn't look so realistic . And yeah , multiple casting causes lag , perhaps you can fix it? Other than that , looks good.

 

[redscores]

I tried casting it 4 - 10 times in a row and it didn't lag for me O,o.

Maybe it is because you got a really shitty pc.

On my pc the fps dropped by 5 when you casted this 10 times.

From 110 fps to 105 fps .

You run wc3 on 110 fps? by running it that high would give inaccurate results

Normal FPS run on wc3 is 60 fps. Try running it then

 

[udg_Potato]

Nah the pc isn't shitty , perhaps I confused with effects ( somethimes there are too many effects and then i get confused )

 

[redscores]

When I runned on 60 fps it dropped to 55 fps, which is not that bad with 10 casts.

It is not Good but acceptable

WoW nice fire effect. Good job m8

 

[Rmx]

Who needs another Volcano abilitie we have one but still u did a GJ ^^

 

[hellblazer-14]

Give him a break guys, he put a lot of effort and probably a lot of time into this as well...

It's a lot better than the original, it's so much more editable. Just make sure there aren't any leaks on it, they may be causing the lag for people with older pc's.
It didn't lag at all for me when i casted this, and i casted it more than 10 times ...
Good work, 4 / 5 from me.

 

[redscores]

Thanks, well, the spell is much easier to edit as the other, original wc3 spell, figure you can add 3 different missile types which get randomly scaled(so small fire balls are possible too), which makes it much better to look at, additional you can add for every missile a self-selected impact effect.

And thanks for the 4.

Well i will give this a rating of 5, here why:
-Idea 4/5
-GUI 5/5
-MUI 5/5
-Usability 4/5
-Terrain Effects 4/5
-Special Effects 4/5
-Modifiable 5/5
Special:
-You help people in Spell Factory +1

So that is (31 + 1) / 7 = 4.5 = 5.
I really like your work but i don't like the terrain effects(may be only my opinion).
Also it's nice to see more GUI spells on the Hive, i think users understand GUI easier and i see no point in degrading users if they post GUI spells...
Keep up the good work

 

[Dynasti]

-MUI 5/5

lawl you fail at that part. MUI is only 1. you dont have 5 levels of MUI. Either it is MUI or it isnt >.<

Well Red, you probably should update the spell soon

 

[Kingz]

Well i can put it as +1 and -1 and the result is the same, 4.5 by me...

 

[redscores]

And what should I update?

 

[Dynasti]

And what should I update?

make it look like more of a volcano >.<, currently it spits out random missiles

 

[redscores]

Oh god... a volcano spits out random missiles... rocks... fire balls and such....

You can completely change the missiles... you are seriously a noob without imagination.

Oh noez, did not know i was a noob

Just saying that looks cheesy with some of the missiles but it is good, not saying that it is'nt

 

[redscores]

Well, I am one of the ancestors of the mapmaking community, around 6 or 7 years I am doing spells, maps and more, and you should really understand it, and just btw, the volcano looks only weird because I cannot use a permanent terrain deformation, it bugs, I cannot reset it, so I choose this way.

With a rising volcano.

 

[redscores]

And just btw, this system supports custom missiles... so you can make your volcano spit the missiles you want.

 

[jesus.is.a.lie]

redscores this is my fav spell of yours gj!!

 

[Rex.]

Not bad.
