Rui: Terrain glitches and incoherences (like cliff caves placed in silly locations), using campaign units as creeps, guard positions incorrectly set. Rejected.

Hide those screenshots with a

tag. Also, see that little gold icon with the number up top? Well that means the map is ALTERED MELEE, not melee. Good try anyway.

hi,

Which "little gold icon with the number up top" ?? I don't see anything... You mean in hive workshop or in world editor ??


And what you mean by altered melee ? I try the map several time, and it works well...

 

[GhostThruster]

The icon with the number "2" inside. If that is the icon, then the map Type is Altered Melee. YOU PUT MELEE AS IT'S TYPE.

I don't see why I should put it as "altered", what the difference ?

All the TFT maps are in the melee category... !

I think the world editor flagged this map as non-melee because this guy is using a french version of warcraft 3.
For example, the standard melee initialisation trigger is named "Initialisation mêlée"
I think that did the flagging job.
Personally I think it's been correctly categorized despite the nonmelee flag.

He's talking about this icon:

(If it was melee, the icon would've looked like this:

)
It means the world editor flagged this map as not melee, which would mean that this game isn't following the standard warcraft III rules to the letter.
But even changing one letter of a unit description would already do that job.
Which is exactly what happened, your french copy of Warcraft III made some text in french which is different than what the hive's copy of the world editor knows(or whatever they use to identify maps to this kind of accuracy), and thus the map is flagged as non melee.
