Dr Super Good:
A very good spell that I can only recomend people to use. It might not be the most efficent but it more than makes up for that by its ease of use. Is a bit too simplistic in my opinion but still has some great opitunities to be used.

Ah, now did you finally post this on Hive
Well, your code is of course perfect and the spell looks good xD 10/10

Hey thx for fast comment !
Well, the mods on Wc3c seem to be on ghost mode (they do nothing decent at all) so I must now ask for review of this spell here on THW.

Let's hope DSG likes the spell as much as you do !

And btw, when will you update your spell ? xD

 

[Hanky]

Your spell is good coded. I just think you have to add after the preload a PreloadStart function, if I understood the function of PreloadStart right.

Well the spellidea itself is abit to boring in my opinion. But well all work correct. Good job keep it up 10/10.

This would be way easier to make in GUI, wont it?

Is it MUI? Else a MPI-GUI version would be the 1st choice for the most.
(Cause they dont know JASS)

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

LOl, Thx for comment Hanky. Well, I like the spell idea, mainly because you can do a lot more stuff than just a Sun Ray Nova. You can make frost Nova, per example or something even more !
I made this spell for people to use it mainly, I know many maps will have use for this kind of spells every one likes.

This spell is 100% MUI and you don't need to know JASS because it is JESP.
Just follow the instructions on the SETUP section I prepared and it will offer you more freedom to change the spell than ever, even it was in GUI.
And no, imo this spell wouldn't be easier in GUI, it would be in fact harder to code, because it wouldn't probably be MUI and you wouldn't have a nice SETUP section like I do xD

Thx for your ratings, and motivation =)
Let's just wait for approval !

Eh... thats all? That spell is nothing special about, just 1 special effect used.... well, I think it deserves a 5/10... Simply nothing special. A typical holy nova.

 

[PoWerJin]

nice spell, and it helps alot to write comments what those scripts actually do


helps me alot to learn jass too, thx =)


10/10

 

[xxdingo93xx]

And btw, when will you update your spell ? xD

Well, seems like I lost most things again >.< I have to ask you to do a favor for me...
I think the best way of learning is to compare. Could you take over the struct things? It is not that I forgot what it is, it is just the build-up of it xD
I can make the trigger splitting etc. I guess, not that hard ;P

@ redscores:
Why should all spells be overdone with special effects and have thousands of effects? I guess a simple and also good-looking spell is not "nothing special". ;P

You disappoint me quite a lot. That is the usual noob thinking: if a spell is not overdone with special effects than it isnt good. Did you even look to the code ?
This was not meant to be a simply spell, it is meant to help other people creating ALL kinds of novas.

nice spell, and it helps alot to write comments what those scripts actually do

Yae !!that is exactly why I made comments =)

If I do the structure I will add the timer, and to add it I must split the code. I will remake your spell once I have time, just send me your current code. I will try to teach you by the example.

 

[redscores]

Then its a quite bad nova help, because a nova is more dense... next time dont write any big spell names, just write Nova Template, and actually create NOVA's, and this spell IS disappointing, it is just mass holy light(targeted ground)...

 

[Hanky]

Well FlamePhoenix but everyone got his own taste, I normally also just like spells with more effects. Not a spam of effects but a decent use of effects. Sure you have could made the nova more interesting but who cares now. It's easy to use for most newbies. And I think that was your aim. So no need to argue.

This was meant, from the start, to be a simple spell in deed. Every one has it's taste Hanky, Amen for that xD

Please read the code. All your assumptions are wrong, the code model is way far from what you describe.

 

[soulstrikez94]

Ermmmm , looks useful

2/5

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

If it looks so good why only 2/5!? Maybe you could do better ?
Don't rate what you don't understand seriously, you look like a noob, this spell is a minimum of 3/5 just for being good coded. Due the JESP format it is 4/5 and if we compare it to the rest of this section, you will soon find it should be 5/5 in most cases...

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

The spell was updated, please red history for more information.

 

[Baldoro]

Looks awesome, wanted to post it on my map but i can't copy and fix that text
However, extra job U did

 

[o2bryan]

got problem >XP

why cant enable the trigger skill??? then come out `InitTrig_SunRay' means???

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

this spell requires vJass.
You need JNGP to run it:

[o2bryan]

Need DL that u gave me the website thgs?

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

Yes ....

 

[o2bryan]

then i extract aredy then how use??

 

[RaijinSpark]

Holy Snap!

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

then i extract aredy then how use??

Ok, now you need to do 2 things:
1 - learn how to write (speak) English so I can understand your messages xD
2 - now that you extracted JNGP, you have to open JNGP WE. It is an icon that has a map with a pen on it. This runs normal WE but adds new features to it.

Hope it helps =D

 

[aider]

This really needs TimerUtils? I copy paste the script from "Chromatic TimerUtils (patch 1.23b or later):" into my map, but get 169 errors when I click Syntax Check. I got the latest versions of JNGP and Jass...
The spell is working, is the Syntax Check in JNGP saying its errors when its not? Also, the spell is laggy, and the map isnt even 1% finished

 

[Flame_Phoenix]

There are several things you should consider:
1 - At the time, TimerUtils (Blue flavor) was the best choice for this spell. So yes, it needs it.
2 - Unless you want to remake the spell, you should use it as "it is".
3 - The spell worked fine at the time and it was approved on wc3c for it's superior efficiency, code style and overall superior quality.
4 - If it lags now it's because of your libraries / setups / whatever. I am even pretty sure I preload some of the effects, so the problem is on your side.
5 - This is supposed to be a map for a spell demo. No one cares about the map, get over it.
6 - I am not aware of the code changes in the syntax of vJass, so I can't comment the errors. If newer versions of JNGP are not backwards compatible, that's not really my problem, it's yours (lol).

Thanks for your comment.
