Undead Assault II 1.7.1

[deepstrasz]

Undead Assault II 2.0 beta 3

An update version of Undead Assault II. Made by me, with help from Magentix. John_S awhile back made some icons for me which are still used. There's been various changes across the board, but primarily the entire storyline has been changed. -The regular modes, Recruit through Insane...

I read that he wrote he didn't have the time to go on but did you at least try to contact and ask for permission? There's a difference between no time and open source. Also, if those other authors have taken the map from him, you'll probably need their permission as well to edit/upload here.

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Undead Assault II 1.7.1
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

The description could look better. Take a read of the guides below please.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Hello deepstrasz!

Thank you for the fast reply. I edited the description and I hope that it gives now more information and shows more details about the map.

As for the permissions, unfortunately I cannot hand you a permission by some of the initial developers since nobody from our community has heard of them for over 10 years. Over the years people have been playing the map with all the bugs that it had while waiting for some of the initial developers to show up with an improved version. Sadly that did not happen and one day Lethan decided with the help of other excited by the map players to start fixing and improving it.
Again, we like this map as it is and we don't want to make major changes on it. We just want to fix any bugs and balance it. Our goal has always been to keep the map as authentic and close to the original as possible.

I decided to upload the latest version of the map here because a lot of people who like it and play it were questioning where they can download newer versions and why there is nothing new about Undead Assault 2 in the Hive. I also thought it would be interesting for other wc3 players because it's a challenging map that requires skills.

Kind regards

I understand. However, please provide some evidence (in the map thread description) that you at least tried contacting them even if they didn't reply for the mentioned reason.
Also, please make a proper credits list with all the resources used. Simply putting a few names doesn't cut it.

More than 3 months without fixing.
