Nightstalker TD 2.5

It's good that you credited the original author but do you have permission to edit/upload edited material of others?
I also see you've only left yourself as the author of the map.

IF you change anything in this map, balance it, expand it, remove parts of it, doing whatever to it: I'm ok with that! Just make sure you put credit where credit is due!

Dont just go about doubling the gold, or changing a units color, then go and call the whole map your own! It wouldn't turn the world upside down if you did, but its just plain simply really rude to do so. If this is the case, then I regret having used about 40+ hours to make this td (had to learn it in the process...), Also part of the creatiton process was to play it, balance it, replay and rebalance over and over until it was slightly playable. I guess balancing this map is the hardest part of creating it...

Anyways...............

Other than that, I do encourage you to do an honest attempt at rebalancing, adding, fixing, removing or whatever
Good luck

So he is ok with others changing his map.
As for the author of the map the version I based it on had 3 authors in it and no space for more characters. Should I have deleted one or two and just left Uberubert and myself? I have them credited in the Loading Screen.

hi. some of the towers are missing BTN/Disabled and same for when you are upgrading them.
some models are missing like Chaotic Splash Tower and level 21 unit Raging Sasquatch.
you can move your builder all over the map where evey you like. that mens that the builder can build towers where he every he like and can kill all the units a round the map.

missing BTN/Disabled: If you mean that the tower icon doesn't properly update when you upgrade more than 1 tower. That is because it is not updated properly in game, if you select other towers and than reselect those tower their icon work up to the number of selected towers. Why that happen idk.
All models I'm using are standard models from the game so all should be there.
The builder movement has been fix

Hmm, can you please provide an unedited map file (without a recent save date) so I can see that?

 

[Skulgrimm]

Mine is based on the 2.2 Version.
Here are the 2.0. and 2.2 Versions.
And I found the 1.12 Version online from Sep 02 16:25:23 2007

 

[deepstrasz]

Since I couldn't verify the creation date of those two files. I found this: Nightstalker TD v1.12 - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com which says the same.
Now, there's one more on the site: Nightstalker TD v1.22
Are the differences in yours that much better to make another version viable as a separate upload?

 

[Skulgrimm]

The Differences are:

• Different Style
• Different and more Creeps with unique models
• Working Creep upgrades (they no longer effect all Creeps)
• Creep preview
• More Towers
• Floating text for gold income
• New Triggers

I hope that's enough.

It''s a nice competitive tower defense map but nothing out of the ordinary, gameplay mechanics being pretty basic and not that much replayability being involved.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Fixed most of the missing BTN & models in the SD version. I didn't know Blizzard didn't do proper mapping of the assets and you have to copy the original unit and can't just change the model and icon.
Only some research icons don't work properly in SD now. Is there a way to some do that in editor or do you have to import the icons and do it manually?
