[MB Pop]

Feedback would be very nice, thanks =)

 

[irock9645696]

add some screenshots or smth to interest others to download this game
Testing it this Sunday

 

[light bolt30]

Improve description; storylines, special features, modes, how to play, credits, screenshots. Also fix up the terrain, add more variation, it's boring and easily made.

 

[-Kobas-]

Map is downloaded I will test it and leave review about it

EDIT:

Ok lets see:

Things that I like:

1st - Loading Screen
2nd - Aura buff looks epic

Things that I don't like:

1st - Map Description
2nd - No map preview image
3th - Interesting triggers like this one

Large one :D

Some leaks are cleaned some are not, also there are many bad triggers like this one with Do Nothing actions, Integer A etc etc

• Ancient Minion
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Ancient is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set SpawnPoint = (Position of Ancient)
        • Unit - Create 1 Ancient Minion for Player 12 (Brown) at SpawnPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To AtkPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SpawnPoint)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Orc Spirit Walker - Spirit Link (Last created unit)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Orc Witch Doctor - Stasis Trap (Position of Ancient)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Attack-Move To (Center of Orc Hero Spawn <gen>)

4th - Terrain is poor
5th - Few custom items, abilities
6th - Bad Ground Texture (Check attached picture)

Word or 2 to Author:

Well I saw really awesome things here but only few of them! Try to improve terrain and triggers at first place, add some modes, hints, credits, make multiboard instead of leaderboard! Import models, icons, spells! Create some if you know and show that to us! Add heroes, many of them, make classes, professions! Same for items, create recipes etc etc! Add more incoming monsters, add more towers, buildings!
This can be good map but only after really hard work!

I think that map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

[MB Pop]

Thank you all so very much for all the feedback, I will try my best to Re-edit and work on this map. I will re-upload it with what I can do to improve it. Again thanks so much for all the feedback, P.S. -Kobas-, What does the word "interesting" mean when it was used to describe my trigger? it can mean many things. +Rep for all your feedback!

 

[-Kobas-]

Well something like this:
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SpawnPoint)
Will Clean Memory leak here
Unit - Create 1 Ancient Minion for Player 12 (Brown) at SpawnPoint facing Default building facing degrees

but there is no variable and custom script code to clean
Unit - Order Ancient to Orc Witch Doctor - Stasis Trap (Position of Ancient)
Unit - Order Ancient to Attack-Move To (Center of Orc Hero Spawn <gen>)

Here is tutorial that I love the most, you will find everything here: Click me

 

[MB Pop]

Thank you so much for all your help -Kobas-! I'll try hard to fix all the things you said.

 

[-Kobas-]

Np dude, if you need anything else just ask!

 

[black_ice]

[oldmilk]

[MB Pop]

I wanna point a few things out to you real quick to help.

first off you dont need to do a every intA 1-12 to make 12 units..
just create 12 units without the use of the Loop...Its easy to just send those 12 units in a group then clean the temp_group after

IF you wanted to use the loop then:
set this before the intA loop.
Set SpawnPoint = (Position of Ancient)
and this outside of it after the loops done:
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SpawnPoint)

theres no point to set it and kill the point 12 times... but then again theres really no point in having the loop at all in the first place in this application u have here.. why not just do this:
Unit - Create 12 Ancient Minion for Player 12 (Brown) at SpawnPoint facing Default building facing degrees
just clean the rest up and your good.

 

[MB Pop]

Thank you! All feedback is welcome!
I will (try to) fix everything metions in the next version!
Also I like using the loop cuz this way I could give them each induvidual orders, but your way is good too!

Idea isn't unique but, I like how you created some effects and how game can't be different with each game mode!
Map description:
Your description looks really good, I like it!
But pls fix screenshots, be sure that your images aren't in private album!
Ingame description / Custom GI:
You didn't changed game interface and that is bad! Only some damage type stuff is changed! Go to Advanced -> Game Interface and explore it a little!

Well I attached links to few tut here on THW and to their Authors!
Some are easy some are for advanced users!

Some have little to do with terrain some much more!
Pls at least scroll down each one just to check pictures!

If you really want to learn how to terrain, check also other sites like
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/
http://www.wc3c.net/
and others...

open maps, check terrain contest etc etc, check terrain board and people showcases, explore user albums, search Hive... You can always ask some user for help, join to Chat room sometimes (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/apps.php?p=gochat)

2 Much work to do right...

Triggers:
Triggers looks bad (well some)! Here is example!

• Zombie Lifesteal
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Zombie Lifestealer
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Current order of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Lifesteal
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Neutral Dark Ranger - Life Drain (Attacking unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

You don't need Do Nothing trigger action!
Also trigger below is bad!

• Ancient Minion
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Ancient is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set SpawnPoint = (Position of Ancient)
        • Unit - Create 1 Ancient Minion for Player 12 (Brown) at SpawnPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To AtkPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SpawnPoint)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Orc Spirit Walker - Spirit Link (Last created unit)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Set SpawnPoint = (Position of Ancient)
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Orc Witch Doctor - Stasis Trap SpawnPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SpawnPoint)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Attack-Move To AtkPoint

Some leaks are cleaned some are not, Integer A should be replaced with custom integer!

I want to say that I posted only GUI tutorials that can be found on THW you can also visit many other sites like wc3c or the helper net etc etc...
Why GUI, well I know Jass a little, I can understand but I can't explain it, so I posted only stuff that I can help you with!
Also if someone see that some new tutorials are uploaded or maybe deleted tell me so I can fix list, thanks!

Memory Leaks:
I find some memory leaks in your triggers, pls check links above you will understand what they are if you don't already know...

• Ancient atk
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Ancient is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Ancient to Attack-Move To AtkPoint

You should define variable in this trigger, and clean leak!
Set AtkPoint = Center of some region
Unit - Order Ancient to Attack-Move To AtkPoint
call RemoveLocation (udg_AtkPoint)
How you used Import Manager:
I can see that all imported stuff are files with low size, and that is really good! But Loading screen is crated from 4 TGA images and that is 2 much space, 768x2 + 384x2 = 2304 KB
How you used Object Editor:
All look good organized! Units models are nice (I still don't like gold mine )
How you used Sound Editor:
You used sounds and music in your map! Good job!
Gameplay:
Gameplay looks ok, but zombies are very strong! Lifesteal also, it is very hard to kill single zombie
Fortified armor is bad!
Hero level is very slow!
Abilities cost 2 much mana! Some units cost 2000 gold, some 20!
Some passive icons look like active!
Towers don't attack?
But map has very nice special effects!
There is few game modes!
Can be played in single and multiplayer! (maybe you can add more players)
Few heroes, items etc etc!
Maybe few more tips or hints ingame! To know what to build, how to defend etc!

And for the end my last words:
The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• THW Chat

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

For new users:
If map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

I hope that my comment helps even a little so you can improve your map, if you want to know more, or just simple ask for something else I will try to help for sure!

Final mark:

 

[MB Pop]

You are a god...
Thank you so much! I'm also glad to see that I have improved
Well then back to WE! (For the next little....long while)

I R TERRIBLE TERRAINER
Prehaps I need to ask someone else to do this for me

 

[Ironside]

Information:


As a Reviewer of the Map Reviewers Group, I joined the THW Cleaning Event.
I end up writing a fast review, or just posting the end state of the map, rating is not always included!


Current State for this map: Approved (2/5)


I will contact the moderator to Approve/Reject the map, depending on what you recieved.

 

[ap0calypse]

Approved, but please: improve the terrain, in it's current state it's a horrid sight.
