Theme
Welcome to the 3rd Paired Mapping Contest. Like the previous contest, you have to create a map in a team of 2 people. The theme for this contest is Heroes. You must create a map where the player controls one main hero, and no other units, so it can be any of these genres:

• Hero Defense
• Hero Arena
• AOS

If I missed any just tell me and I will add them. Basically though as long as the main unit the players control is a hero, and they don't control get to control any other units (except for summoned units, and units like that), then it should be fine, but please post before doing any other genre, to make sure it is ok.


Rules

• The map must be created in a team of 2 different people.
• The map must be to do with heroes, where the player controls one hero and nothing else.
• The map must of been started after the launch of the contest. The map can not of been started before the contest starts.
• All the entries must be unprotected so that the triggers and scripts can be looked at.
• Imports can be used, however you will not receive any marks for them, and all imports must be credited.
• All multiplayer maps must be under 4mb, so they are playable on b.net. Having it under 2mb is recommended.
• All models, skins, sounds or resources used in the map must be credited.

Criteria
This is the criteria that all of the submitted maps will be judged on:

Criteria	Description	Marks

The entries will be marked with 50% judging, 50% public poll. Once the deadline has been reached, all entries submitted into the contest will be marked, and a public poll opened. Please remember that the maps don't have to be completed, you can submit a map even if it is uncompleted.

[Killface]

Did the terrain in all of the mini-games look good?

As you may have noticed, it says the terrain of the minigames when this is obviously not the theme.

 

[BoneBreaker]

You must create a map where the player controls one main hero, and no other units.

Does this mean we can create a Maze/Escape - like map?

Thanks for pointing that out, fixed it.

Well I suppose you could, but if you look at the criteria, heroes take up 15 points in the judging, which is more then any of the other fields, and it would be extremely difficult to make a maze map with heroes good enough to score highly in that field. So if you really want to I suppose you would be able to, but you probably would not get a very good score.

 

[Fulla]

Ok so hang on, would a map like a Footman Frenzy type map be ok?
You mainly pick & control a Hero, but you have a few troops to command.

EDIT: I just noticed.

"The map must be to do with heroes, where the player controls one hero and nothing else."

 

[Pyritie]

Ahhh damn it When Servers Collide would've been perfect for this contest :<

Anyways, me and Instant Ramen might be doing... something.

A month and a half? Well it's better than the one month we had last time...

Yea so basiclly you can do any time of map you want, as long as the only unit you can control is a hero (except for summoned units, which have to be summoned by the hero, and have to be timed for it to be allowed).

The deadline may or may not increase, it depends on how many people have finished their maps by then. But if there haven't been more then 3 entries submitted, there will probably be an extension.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

[Gilles]

Anyone want to team with me? I'm pretty poor at general mapping.

 

[busterkomo]

Anyone in need of a partner?

 

[Pyritie]

Can we do a single-player map if we wanted to, as long as you still only controlled one hero?

Also, can we use WEJNGPU? (World Editor Jass New Gen Pack Unlimited)?

 

[Killface]

hvo-busterkomo, I'll be your partner.

 

[Bob27]

Sure, as long as you have only one hero, it should be fine.

Also, can we use WEJNGPU? (World Editor Jass New Gen Pack Unlimited)?

Yea, but make sure that you state in the credits that you used it.

 

[Needles]

hey hvo- and gilles i am a pretty good mapper, and a presisionist at creating ideas but the spells, heros, and and sertant trig types are my problem
trig types i suck at (movment other than basic click, i can not create very many vars that are interesting.) spells (no one ever likes my spells because they usually have no art effect)and for heros i cant very well balance str, agl and int
So please get back to me either one of you and fast because i want to get started BUT I AM VERY GOOD AT IDEAS AND TERRAIN SO PLEASE EMAIL ME I CHECK MY EMAIL EVERY 1-2 DAYS
[email protected]

Oh yea and please dont email the answer no to me. if its no please post it on threads beacause i already get enough mail from my friends anyways...lol
by the way im going to get started on creating the terrain tomarrow

[rainbow][email protected][/rainbow]

Needles, please don't triple post. There is an edit post button; use it. I would merge them for you, but I don't have the power (Bob should have )
On teaming up, I am looking for a more capable person. Like you, I too have ideas, and my strong point is terrain. Sorry mate.

sorry about that a friend sugested this site to me and im sorta new to everything about it

 

[I Am Spam]

How many heroes should be in this map? A good hero is very time-consuming to create, so obviously it can't be too high a number, but only one or two heroes would clearly be too few...

 

[Needles]

how many?

I am probobly going to make 2 full taverns

 

[Bob27]

Doesn't matter, if you made only a few heroes, but they were all extremely well made, you would get more points then someone, who had a lot of heroes, but weren't as good.

[Da_Troll]

I need a partner, preferrably one that is quite good with terrain. I can do most triggers, though they will be GUI, and I am quite good with object editor. So if you are good at terrain and want to partner please PM me. I want to do something with robots, my main idea would be an AOS of sorts, like custom mech arena, but w/o any CPU units. So like dota with no helping units, and to win it would be like Custom Hero Arena. Needles, will you join me? If you do, please PM me, not post on this.

 

[DjTheDeath]

Would a hero war work?

 

[HINDYhat]

I'm in this with HappyTauren. We don't have a solid map name yet, but a concept is down. I'll post back up when we get a name.

 

[I Am Spam]

I'm interested in this. I have some good triggering skills in GUI, as well as general design and hero and spell creation. Terraining is the number 1 ability I'm lacking in. I kind of want to do a mini-AoS.

 

[~Void~]

Can I be paired with my conscience?

This map's physics are going to be a real pain.

 

[Bob27]

Ok updated the contestants list, if I missed anyone just say so.

Okay me and Instant Ramen will probably be making a map like this.

Interesting idea, looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.

Also is it aloud to be a RPG.

Yea it can be an RPG, but as heroes count for a lot of the points, I would focus a lot on the actual hero, rather then on other things you would normally focus on in RPGs.

Would a hero war work?

Yea, as long as you control one hero, and nothing else, its fine.

 

[Yearight]

Yearight and HeretoDLstuff will join with our map... we havent found out a name yet.

 

[Pyritie]

This map's physics are going to be a real pain.

I just need to talk to HINDY without him attacking me and figure out how to use SEE. Shouldn't be that hard, really...

 

[Instant Ramen]

It shouldn't be too hard to implement.
