[Martin Barbov]

Martin Barbov and me are in the team! i will begin making terrain.The dark side of the force will win.

That's not quite correct. In the previous page I already wrote I team with Mechmap.

Oziris: I can't send you pm so I'm pasting this here.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Ya I figured nobody would want to team up with me. Too bad 13lack.1)ragon is really busy with school or we would prawn this contest :O

 

[NearbyHermit]

I think I'll win this one easy!

 

[Kwah]

Okay people,who's in need of a Hermit?

Do you have a team already? (Hint Say no)

 

[NearbyHermit]

I grab the hint!

No,but I must speak with someone firstly,let's keep it Personal Messaged!

 

[Kwah]

Well, if NH and me don't get together on this one, I'm up for grabs.

 

[Avator]

I recommend hawk900 as a partner

Just don't overdo it, because I'm in the race too, and you wouldn't want to make me look that terrible, do you?

 

[Devine]

Anyone wants to do it with me? PM me.
I can do GUI, Skins, Icons and models and why not, terrain.

 

[Lestat(br)]

i am good at doing models, terrains, GUI scripts and a bit of JASS, and i have good ideas!
id like to have a creative partner that knows JASS better than I do (not very hard)
i have already a lot of awesome ideas!
and im FRIENDLY! yay!

 

[Oziris]

If NearbyHermit does not want to join with me then i would like to team up with DevineArmy

 

[Kwah]

Looking for an experienced JASS'er for some systems and ideas I have planned. If you are at ALL interested, please PM me and I'll send details.

 

[Devine]

If NearbyHermit does not want to join with me then i would like to team up with DevineArmy

i hope Nearby wants to join with you ... i'm reserved by Bob27

 

[Lestat(br)]

My team is ready!

Entry Name	Contestant #1 Name	Contestant #2 Name
N/A (for now)	Fulla	Lestat(br)

Hawkwing, wait until Fulla say something, so I can be sure he's not with ~Void~

 

[Kwah]

Team: [Dammit tables are too hard to make]

Team Name: Mappadarz

Member #1: hawk900
Member #2: spiwn

 

[Avator]

Make tables with
[ table ] [ /table ] (without the spaces ofcourse)

To make a horizontal rules, place [r] (Row)
and to make a vertical rule, place [c] (Column)

You will get a table like

[ table ]
Team name: [c] Member #1: [c] Member #2:
[r] Mappadarz [c] hawk900 [c] spiwn
[ /table ]

The result will be:

Team name:	Member #1:	Member #2:
Mappadarz	hawk900	spiwn

 

[Kwah]

Ah. Thanks.

Team name:	Member #1:	Member #2:
Mappadarz	hawk900	spiwn

There we go.

EDIT:

Imports can be used, however you will not receive any marks for them, and all imports must be credited.

Is this only for artistic resources, or does it include code such as systems? For example: Are we allowed to modify an already existing inventory system? This is just theoretical at this stage.

 

[Airandius]

My team is ready!

Team name:	Member #1:	Member #2:
Tha Teemu Team	Airandius	kewlthis

 

[Devine]

Okey ...
bob seems to be very inactive.
anyone wants join in with me? cause i don't feel like doing all the work, you know.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

13lack.1)ragon and I will be joining this contest and we plan on winning it hands down, no contest, so step aside ladies and watch the professionals perform!

 

[13lack.1)ragon]

I'm with Dread in this. Time to own you guys! May the best team win.

Team name:	Member #1:	Member #2:
TBA	Dreadnought[dA]	13lack.1)ragon

 

[Devine]

i own you guys even if i would be alone.

 

[13lack.1)ragon]

About the deadline. 5 weeks is MUCH too little in my opinion. And all these contests (even minigames, etc...) took over 5 weeks for those little projects. I recommend at least 10 weeks if you want to see some quality projects. (Me and my partner have a tremendously GREAT storyline going with our dungeon-esque game)

 

[Lestat(br)]

Count us, now it is definitive!

Entry Name	Contestant #1 Name	Contestant #2 Name
Just Another Warcraft III Map	Fulla	Lestat(br)

The entry name will be updated when we create a cool name ok?

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Ya also could we be scored on amazing storylines? lol

 

[Lestat(br)]

Our storyline is more than amazing, I think storyline should count! xD

 

[Hawkwing]

You can use any existing resource as long as it's credited. As for editing it; You may, and it must still be credited, but try to only edit it to make it work for your map, no drastic changes.

 

[Lestat(br)]

Well I suppose the storyline means creativity, so It will count someway! xD

 

[Oziris]

I am with DevineArmy.

 

[Avator]

Loads of multiplayer Wc3 games have no real storyline for a reason: because it's multiplayer. If storyline would be a judgement point, then this would be unfair against people making MP maps.

I know MP maps can still have storylines, but they aren't as strong as SP storylines. MP is fun because you can play with creative thinking people instead of a computer controlled opponent, not the storyline. So I think a storyline may have an effect on the score, but MP games shouldn't be disadvantaged due to this.

 

[Oziris]

I agree but not so fun playing alone.

 

[Avator]

That's why it's called multiplayer. You need multiple players to have fun. For single player you either need a creative thinking AI or a good storyline.

 

[Hawkwing]

A storyline is not needed. But some backstory is suggested.

 

[AirHead]

i disagree. too many MP maps don't have storys and it ruins the game, sure if its like tower defence or hero wars it's fine but even RPGs don't have forced storys. the reason the genre RPG was invented was because a long time ago games were just random do this then that with no explaination or reason, like pong a, then there were games where you had a story backing your actions up and you played a role in the story, like Zelda, (as hints the name Role Playing Game) sure zelda and pong are way far off in time but thats just an example. but MP RPGs don't even have roles to be, in what they call a story. if it's a dungeon romp i still believe it should be an RPG. so i think a story should be highly suggested, and maybe 5-10% judged.

 

[Avator]

Sorry, but I really disagree that games that are made to be fun in general get less chance of a good rating then others, because their intentions are different. A storyline may be judged if it's a map that is about the story, but if it's not, then people should not get a disadvantage because they want to make a different kind of game. The contest does not require a storyline, so it should not be judged at all, or maybe only when people want their storyline to count a bit. The choice is still to Hawkwing.

 

[Kwah]

You can use any existing resource as long as it's credited. As for editing it; You may, and it must still be credited, but try to only edit it to make it work for your map, no drastic changes.

Well, that seems strange. Would not editing it more heavily be better?

 

[Hawkwing]

It would be best if you keep it similar so it's recognizable as said person's resource.

 

[Kwah]

That seems stupid. Provided credits are given, it should be fine. No? The point of the resource is to modify it and use it.

 

[Hawkwing]

Oh whatever. You're too persistent for me. Go for it, but please give credits.

 

[Kwah]

Well, that was a given. I'll first see if I'm good enough to change some systems enough to make me happy.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Creativity and Gameplay both somehow covers the whole "storyline" part. An interesting story can both be a factor with the way the game functions (gameplay) and how creative and inventive your map is (creativity). No need for an entire category for storylines.

Hawkwing applauds the first person who actually understands.

 

[13lack.1)ragon]

So how about extending the contest to 10 weeks? I just know people are going to be asking for this later anyways as you didn't broach the subject yet in your posts.

 

[Hawkwing]

I'm not going to change it now, I want to see how far people are by the current end date, then I can decide when to extend it to.

 

[Mechmap]

If you do singleplayer can you a filesize that is bigger then 4mb? It doesn't stand something about it in the rules.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I agree with Hawkwing, the deadline is 5 weeks and that is just how it is. If not enough people has submitted anything by then (I'd say a minimum of 3 submissions) an extension should be made.

@Mechmap - I don't think there's any restraints on the filesize for singleplayer. One of the perks of singleplayer is afterall the fact that you can go beyond 4mb.

 

[Hawkwing]

It says "All multiplayer maps must be under 4mb so they can be playable on Bnet." I think that sums it up.

 

[Duke]

Someone for team? (I hope It's not too late)
