Is there something wrong with the map that makes you unable to play?

 

[Gamling]

I dont know if there is somthing wrong, I put it where i needed it into the map folder tried to play it with my brother and it just sent me back to the create map area.

 

[Kino]

Well thats intresting, what wc3 version are you using?

 

[Gamling]

Im using, Frozen Throne.

 

[Kino]

I mean, the exact version.

1.26 etc.

 

[Gamling]

Oh... Lemme check.

2.129

Wait I mean 1.21 sorry XD

 

[Kino]

Well thats a really really old version, so that might be a problem.

Most maps around here are intended to be 1.24 and above compatible.
If your version is an issue youll probabbly have problems with many maps not just this one.

 

[Gamling]

I play LAN. XD

 

[Kino]

I rewrote my post since i missed your last one.

 

[Gamling]

Oh well... I'll try playing it again right now dont expect me to reply immediatley.

Ok its working i'll give you a rating after I finish it.

Ok finished with it, 5/5 one of the best maps that i've played.

 

[Kino]

Glad you liked it.

 

[BloodyKaiser]

[zarpalasjohn]

downloading and test it!!!

 

[RiotZ]

The terrain previews are wonderful, I may have to download this.

 

[Kino]

Well go ahead then

 

[RiotZ]

This is actually quite similar to a game I had an idea for quite some time ago.

 

[Kino]

Well tbh when I have time next month I very much want to revise the gameplay/terrain of Necropolis. Its currently quite lackluster IMO.

The terrain is quite good. The gameplay is above average because of its originality.

The terrain is quite good. The gameplay is above average because of its originality.

The terrain is aesthetically nice but it really is pretty bad from a gameplay perspective, its too crammed and tight for a map based on armies and not single heroes.

The gameplay is somewhat original since there arnt that many zone captures for wc3 anyway. But Im pretty it can be improved from its current state.

True true, making good terrain that is still accessible is very difficult.

Good luck with the project.

Is the background music from Dark Angel? Nice map

No the music is actually from the Night Elf Defeat screen, its a rather obscure ingame track. But its there, if you look for it.

 

[KuWe]

This must be one of the best maps I've ever played. Everything in this map fits well together and it is fun to play and the terrain is amazing, also it reminds me of DOW2.

 

[TheOverWhelming]

Buggin.
Boneragers don't disappear. Ever.
Autolevelbalance bugs. Everyone was level 3, then suddenly red (me) and Green were level 11.

 

[Kino]

Boneragers don't disappear. Ever.

Tbh, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Boneragers are permanent mercenaries, theyre not supposed to dissapear or anything like that.

Autolevelbalance bugs. Everyone was level 3, then suddenly red (me) and Green were level 11.

There is no auto balance level, there are no functions in the map that give exp or levels.



If you want to report bugs, you need to give details so I actually know what is going on.

 

[TheOverWhelming]

My friend had something called boneragers that would explode, then revive as to explode again. My friend said he did a research that "turns them into skeletal warriors upon death", or something. Which means boomboomboom

Well, for some reason green and I turned to level 11 on the "capture all the things" mode.
Edit: For the few details that could ever factor into this, I had the forerunner and green had the hero thats model is Grom (or similar to)
We weren't near each other. I think I may've killed a hero that did it.
/shrug
I kind of noticed when I ran away from a bunch of people. I was only half-way into level 3 when I checked before, so I couldn't tell you if it happened when I leveled up.

Very well, Ill have a look into that.

Ive looked through the map thoroughly I cant seem to figure out why that would happen. It is possible that some of the debug triggers are turning and doing funny shit.

Anyway thanks for the report, Ill get a fix version done ASAP.

Well thanks for the extra info. I havent touched this map in ages so ive kinda lost track of the actual emchanics of the game.

However I have tried replicating the endless self destruction bug and I cannot seem to find the source of it.
There are no Hero Skills/Researches that can ressurect units. The only thing that can is an high tier offense item.
But doesnt seem to bug under any circumstance.

 

[TheOverWhelming]

Happened again. Was early into level 3 when suddenly was level 11 (saw it happen).
Can't tell much more then that, I was running back from someone. I was red still. Forerunner again, too.

 

[Kino]

I have really no idea how to help you at all now.

Ive checked the map repeatedly and can assure there are is no function in the map which gives exp in anyway.

 

[Ocelot]

Very good map, very user friendly.

Terrain 5/5
Gameplay 4/5

Total Rate %85 (Great!)

You should really update this map, right now. The map is awnsome and fun to play. ALOT.
you should add more mercenaries, more heroes, and (or proabably) map size?

Eh, maybe.
Glad you liked it though, haven't seen feedback in forever.

 

[givecake]

The balance and creativity on this control map is deep. I very much like the terrain design and theme, with good choices all round with units, scaling, effects, and SFX. I'd like to see the most popular heroes appear in a Kino all-stars map ;]
