Warcraft III Map making contest 2006

[Bob27]

if you want your map to be in this contest you may not publish it before the contest is over else you are disqualified.. I think that's the rule

Oh.. that sucks for me..

Then I can't use 2/3 of my maps because I showed them to the people of WC3Campaigns..

Really hope this can be solved somehow

-Soultaker

well you said you showed 2/3 of your maps. What about the other 1/3? As long as there not completly finished.

**Idea**I could always just add an extra unit and then since i havnt released it it would technically be legal!!***



Damnit i love loopholes...

Well didn't I say that there had to be a considerable amount of work done on the map? Not just a few new units. Well I will only accept maps that are in the alpha stage. Yours would be counted as the beta stage.

 

[Ralle]

I have an idea too for an AOS but thats going to be off-topic since it will not come in the contest..

I'll enter, under other...I dare not give away my idea, because it happens to be good.

Cool! I hope that I will be judging it

 

[Shados]

An AOS style map? I'm always happy to help if you need it .

 

[Ralle]

yeah. I don't doubt that.. Thanks! I just think it should have something unique in it

 

[Bob27]

heres an idea. maybe you could have it like a normel AOS were you have to destroy the other teams main building, and then once a main building is destroyed you move to other battlefield. And so on. Also try and maybe make things like obstacles of traps you might find somewhere in each battlefield.

 

[Ralle]

yeah.. sounds cool! And you will have the same level and character in next level, and maybe something about some characters have powers in some maps etc..

but back to contest..

 

[Shados]

That does sound pretty cool, I once worked for like 3 weeks on a maze map I was making so I know of some pretty cool traps if you need any.

Well, I got a third map which I have showed none yet, but I don't think it'll do very well as it is in the early beta state and just playable.

About the other two maps, one of them has been hosted like 5 times on B-Net and the other has been showed to the folks on WC3Campaigns and that's it...

I can remove the thread on WC3 Campaigns if that's neccesary, but that would be quite annoying since I proberly wouldn't be able to get a new one there then.

[Bob27]

when you mean "showed" does that mean people have played it? Or you have just shown screenshots or sumthing like that.

 

[Soultaker]

That means that people were able to read some stuff about it and download the map protected.

It's like 3 days since I posted the post, and only 4 people have download the map...

-Soultaker

 

[Bob27]

Well if its already been played by people like that then i'm sorry but I can not accept that map. Maybe try making a simply fast map such as a some simple minigames or some other map that can be made fast?

Well... I don't want to enter with some map... I want to enter with MY map.. I don't got any new original ideas nor the energy to create a new map as I already got three projects.

I'm really sorry to hear that as that would mean that I can only enter the contest with my weakest map =(

If there is no chance for me to enter with those two maps, then delete me as a participant in the "Other" and "Minigame" catagory.

[Ralle]

I was just wondering.. What's the difference between testing with friends and playing online?
I was just wondering where the border is?
Does that mean that you can't be two people working at a map?

 

[Bob27]

well 2 people can work at a map but all entie team must be told to me when the map is sent to me or before. When I mean testing with friends I mean that i'm not just going to create a game, let anyone join and dl. I will only be play with Jury members.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

So lets say I am working on a map and there is something I need to test online with maybe 2-3 friends, I cant do that?

 

[Bob27]

Well I supose you can. As long as those friends don't host the map and so on. Beta Testing will be allowed I supose.

 

[asasin850]

This is getting too confusing. How hard is it to figure out that if youve released the map to te public, either by uploading a DL link or by hosting public games then its officially been released, then u cant enter. Foos

 

[Bob27]

Ok you can not give away any dl links. You can host PRIVATE games on b.net to test. However these must be friends of yours and not people you just randimly meet on b.net.

 

[Darkdraak]

Than its no problem for most i guess

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Good, then my map should still be in

 

[asasin850]

So wahts the running bribe to get a 10/10 mark.....

 

[Bob27]

Your Computer :twisted:

 

[Crazynutter]

Slow as I am, i'm now going to start work on FFA mode Terrain, which will be the only mode available when I send it.

Hope that is ok.

 

[asasin850]

How about a Pie, 3 Bucks, and an everlasting Pack of Tim Tams...


.....Well their everlasting as long as u elave em in teh fridge and dont eat em

 

[keeper of the grave]

Hi

does a cenimatic campaign works???
and could it be really silly and meaningless but funny?

 

[Bob27]

yes you can have cinematic campaigns. I'll add you under campaigns then. And also it depends. If the Jury likes it it'll get a good score. If its just some pointless thing with no comedy at all then I doubt you will get a good score.

 

[Ralle]

can I judge some more maps?

 

[Bob27]

well I havn't really got any more maps to Judge.

 

[keeper of the grave]

nice Ralle, i liked your poo-poo song

 

[Ralle]

okay.. But I am willing to help you

 

[Shados]

Your Computer :twisted:

Which one?

 

[Bob27]

All of them

 

[Bethezard]

I want to join competition too! But I dunno if it is still possible to join? Anyway, I want to ask, can I compete with Sheep Tag map? This map's main idea isn't mine... I think that this map goes to category "Other"... Anyway... after couple of day's it will be ready!

 

[teza89]

Can i be one of the jury members for other catorgarys?

 

[Bob27]

You can enter the contest as long as the map was made by you from scratch.

Can i be one of the jury members for other catorgarys?

I've got enough Jury members for now but if I need one I will ask you first.

 

[varulf]

Hey, guys.

I'm dropping out of the AoS category. I don't really care enough about my map to finish it. I rather work more on my campaign, which is the only category I'm interested in right now.

So, I'm out of the AoS category but still in the Campaign category.

 

[Shados]

All of them

But you didn't say "Your Computers", it was in the singular, so how about I give you my old computer and you give me a 10/10 on my cinematic map wich I will then have to do no work on?

 

[Bob27]

Well how about me telling you that I am not going to rig the contest?

 

[Shados]

But you said you would for a computer! LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[keeper of the grave]

Does a half cenimatic and half single player campaign work? like first three chapters cenimatics and the last one is use controled game to complete the story????
:evil:

 

[Crazynutter]

I can't actually work on the map properly till Feb. 11.

So hopefully, I will be able to get something done from then.

 

[asasin850]

Yeah well schools back so my maps on a standby pretty much

Thank god i finished most of it pre-End of holidays


Still a few things tho... And god damnit why couldnt i have more friends... Stupid no publics

 

[Ralle]

you get friends on forums

 

[asasin850]

R U trying to get included on a Beta test?


Wouldnt that count as corruption of judges on my part

Plus if u see it now in a really bad version its guna have a lasting affect now huhm?

 

[keeper of the grave]

pls answer, does a half cenimatic and half single player campaign works?

like first 3 chapters are cenimatics and the last one is player controlled to finish the stoey in different ways.

 

[Bob27]

yes that would work, it would still fall under campaign catergory though.

 

[asasin850]

How hard is it to udnerstand ANY MAP TYPE CAN BE ENTERED...

On a side note... Im hungry


Good Luck people

just realised i hadnt said that yet.... and youll need it 8)

 

[varulf]

Another question...

Can the map(s) feature custom spells created by people that aren't me? I'd credit them of course.

 

[Bixit]

hehe, if I manages to finish my map before the 20.02 ir will probably be full of bugs, etc. As I cant beta-test it for real :/, maybe a few times, if I can find someone I trust enough. I am finished with the coast-line, added some units, and its already 1,5mb.. I also got some problems, as I'm a bit new to map-making :?

two weeks left. I think I should be able to finish most of it, I though I should finish most of the terrain, and then make it playable for like, 6-8 of the 10players, just to make it playable at all.

well, anyways, gl

 

[Bob27]

Well I have already said that a team can all work on a map together and enter it in the contest. But you can not just go and copy and paste out of another map. The spells like everything else must be from scratch.
