Through Snow and Ice v.2.4

[shinji]

This map looks like fun. I'm going to test this on Friday. I'm busy at the moment. But from the disciptions and stuff, I think it is very nice. +Rep

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thanks shinji. I hope you will like my map.

 

[Vengeancekael]

A full credits list is required, both here and in-game.
Next, the new undead heroes all have default skills, that's just boring and not creative in any way.
Also the game starts lagging after 2-3 minutes, you should remove any memory leaks there are in your triggers.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thanks for moderating my map, Vengeancekael.

• I will make the credis list better and include resources, too. I will put this into the quests menu.
• I create better spells for the Undead Heroes, but unfortunately, i am not very good at triggering.
• And how do i fix memory leaks? I do not know anything about it.
• I am going to look for tutorials, they must help me.

Thanks again, i will do what i can.

Please don't give up on this!

 

[Mgeterno11]

Please don't give up on this!

Don't worry, sonofjay, i won't. I have learnt lots of things about map making and after the spells are done by another user, i will finish my map to a much better version. Now i have lots of ideas how to make it a cool and famous map. Thanks for supporting me!

 

[Codric]

Yeah don't give up on this

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

I will be disappointed if you abandon this map..

 

[Mgeterno11]

I won't, do not worry. I am waiting for the spells to be finished then i will finish this map and it will be updated, i promise.

 

[Bugz]

You give up on tis Mgeterno and youre dead :-]!

 

[Mgeterno11]

I won't give up, do not worry. I am just waiting till the spells are finished by another user. Then i will finish this map and i have dozen of plans how to finish it.

 

[NourmeusXL]

yes very nice looking map and models =D

 

[Mgeterno11]

yes very nice looking map and models =D

Thanks, mate!

EDIT: Since i got the spells i started to remake the terrain, units, pathing, etc.
So please do not worry, stay calm, and i hope i can update my map soon. But because it is summer, it is delaying. Thanks for every support.

 

[Bugz]

Because it's Summer you should have time to spend on it ; ) not the other way around.

 

[Mgeterno11]

I see your point, but the spells were just finished by the end of summer by another user. I hope you will understand it. And i was on holiday, too.
Till October or November it will be finished. I just need to find someone to make some undead spells.

 

[Bugz]

Alright Good luck again my friend!

Hey, cant you find me someone to "team me" up, my map is dying and i need help t.t

 

[Mgeterno11]

Alright Good luck again my friend!

Many thanks, mate. I will do my best. The human race is almost finished, and it will be really different than the standard.

Darkfang, i am waiting for your map to be updated. If you need someone to help with your map, then make a thread in the project requirement forum. There you will find users which will help you. Or ask some of your firends in a PM.

Well there is something, you know im making a Relic system like the AOM relics, wich grant bonus to units and stuff. There is one problem with the ACTIVABLE relics, thus whenever you kill the altar and move the relic to another altar the CD fades to 0, so you can do that all over again, and relics are powerful, so u can guess what kind of a problematic bugg im talking about.

So i need to know if there is a way to make the cooldown of an item activate when you acquire it.

 

[Mgeterno11]

TSI 2.1 released

My map is now released with many new things. Enjoy it. Please report me any bug that you found. Thanks.

 

[eubz]

Hey, Mg,
I haven't tried this map since its release. I will be testing this and post some review if I got time. Good luck with this map, dude.

 

[Orcnet]

Map approved.

 

[Ardenaso]

Looks nice compared to 3 years ago. Gotta try.

 

[Mgeterno11]

eubz: Thank you very much. I hope you will enjoy playing my map.
Orcnet: Thank you very much for approving my map. Glad you liked it. Also, thanks for the rating.
Len Kagamine: I hope you will enjoy playing it.

 

[Ardenaso]

Well, it lagged hard on me, even with low particles, lights and shadows.

 

[sonofjay]

Congrats! Took you almost three years Mgeterno!

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thanks, sonofjay! Yes, because I needed to learn how to make a map well and attractive to players, it took me a long time and I have been a bit busy recently.

 

[MGHetedik]

Your map is recommended, I congratulations for this.
Good work I glad, you made it.

Yes, and what do you think about my map?

Great altered melee map You've made. but why peasant don't have a portrait

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thank you very much, glad to hear that. Because the model did not have a portrait model itself.

Oh, I am so delighted to see the 5002 downloads on my map. Who was the 5000th downloader? Also, can someone review my map?

 

[aeman]

let Rufus or someone who was map reviewer to review it

 

[Mgeterno11]

Yes, he will review it and other map reviewers can review it, too. I welcome all advices.

 

[Jocker]

I tested the map and its awesome.From what i can tell everything is well balanced for altered melee map.If you want my opinion from 0 to 25 i give you all 25 and here are some of my thoughts:
Gameplay:5/5
Terrain:5/5
Units and Models:5/5
Balancing:5/5
Creep Location:5/5
From all this 25/25.Rating:5

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thank you very much, mate , I am glad you like it.

General:
* The lack of low-level creeps is a problem, as it forces you to stay in your base until you're strong enough to take them on.
* Snow Queen has a bad portrait and is immediately available.
* Many creep camps have normal reaction distances and/or are too close together. I often end up fighting half a dozen Crystal Infernals at once because they help each other.

Human:
* Peasant and Mage have bad portraits.
* Templary Chaplain should be Templar.
* Archer uses Long Rifles upgrade.
* Two of the Ranger's abilities involve her getting hit in melee. She's a ranged hero, she has no business there.
* Improve Armor has only one level.

Undead:
* Attack speed boost on the Frost Wyrm? Really?

Night Elves:
* Only 2 custom heroes?
* Sorceress has 4 skills immediately available, and Nature's Blessing uses "a" as its hotkey.

Orcs:
* Troll Magician's aura says it slows down friendly units, and has all skills immediately available.
* Axethrowers use spear projectiles.
* Lightning Path's dummy costs food.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thank you very much for your help, cleavinghammer.

I will add some more low-level creeps.
Sorrey but I cannot fix the portraits, I did not make the models. I have changed the hero to Templar, added for the Archer the Longbow upgrade. I could not make another ability to Ranger, can you help be? Also I would like an ultimate arrow spell for it, but I did not find a spell like that in the Spell section.

Yes, you have a good point, the Bone Toughness now has an increased defence effect instead of the attack speed boots. I fixet the Sorceresses Aura, and the hotkey.
Unfortunately, I am not good at making spells. Though I planned a Druid hero. I fixed the tooltip, now says enemy units. The projectile is also changed, and the food is reduced to 0.

Can you point out other bugs?

 

[cleavinghammer]

Not really a bug, but I find the loot in the dragon's cave inferior to the infernals guarding it. One ice giant dropped an item that boosts stats and gives frost nova, one dragon dropped a Cloak of Shadows.
Speaking of which, the cave is accessible by air.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thank you, I will change the ice doodads pathing surronded by the cave to blocked by air. I will fix the item drops to higher levels.
Can you give me some ideas for the ranger's abilities? And helping me creating triggered spells?

 

[cleavinghammer]

For abilities, I dunno. Attack speed increase, stealth, a stun move, increasing line of sight, removing armor...

As for making them, I can't help with that. But searching for "arrow spell" here gets a lot of results, you should look in there.

 

[Mgeterno11]

Thanks, for the offering, I made a stunning Crippling Arrow, and an aura which decreases enemy ranged attacks. Also, would you check if the Psycho Hook spell deals any damage? It is a copied spell, but I have fixed it.

I updated the map, editing the item tables by the island, and making it unreachable by air.

Your name is now included in the Special thanks to list.

 

[cleavinghammer]

* Ranger is affected by her own damage-reducing aura. The aura also has a bugged icon when hero level is too low to get the ability and when the menu is up. You should change it to reduce enemy melee damage instead of ranged if keeping it on a ranged hero.
* Psycho Hook seems to work (though I'm not sure about the range), but why give it to a ranged hero?

* Creeps still have overly long reaction distances.

Thanks you very much for your help.

- Disabled icon is now fixed, I added it to the correct path. Sorry, I accidentaly forgot it.

- I fixed the aura, now it does not affect the Ranged Hero. Honestly, I don't know, the NE priestess of the moon has the Trueshot Aura. How do I make this ability to reduce melee damage? Or should i make a new ability?

- Good to hear that, but can you check its triggers, if it works 100% properly? This spell has not made by me, I just imported it. You can see the creator's name in the Special Thanks section in my description.

- I fixed the creeps' target acquistion range to camp, only the creeps which are near to bases.

- And I also fixed the terain a bit, the northwest part, I also added there an easy-level troll creep camp, instead of the hard one.

Do you have any more suggestions?
