WarPaint v1.0d

Why is the author different than the username?

Funny, this says you're using a Link model among other things: Resources in Use by WarPaint v1.0 | HIVE

Anyways, I've been watching your progress on the developmental thread and the map seems to be working fine.

Approved.

Why is the author different than the username?

Simply because the author stopped using "Illidan(Evil)X" around 2008. I go by the username "cgsource" everywhere else.
Suppose I could change it to "cgsource/Illidan(Evil)X" if it bothers you.

That feature's broke as fuck yo. I'm not using any of those assets. Amusing.

Approved.

That was fast. :D

This is just the better version of another map like this that came out months ago... man, I thought THAT was the best thing, and this is even better. Ty <3

I expect no less from my senior! Congratulations on the release ! : )

Map desync for a few players on latest patch and on PTR. Restarting Warcraft III doesn't prevent it.

@Relith96 <3

@Quilnez Thanks kiddo :)

@Wareditor Thank you for trying out the map.
I'm near fully convinced these random disconnects are due to Warcraft 3 patch instabilities.
Never once did I experience disconnects when testing on 1.29.2. Tried a LAN game on the latest PTR earlier and one of the machines immediately disconnected for seemingly no reason.

Did the affected players desync at the start or later during the game?

 

[Wareditor]

At the start.

 

[DaneTheBeast]

Can confirm the desync happens. With 2 players it doesn't, but with 3 it always disconnects 1 player.

Ascii originally was a simple modification of TheDamien's resource from TheHelper.net. Nestharus then changed basically everything to make it look the way it does now.

So the real credit is to TheDamien and Nestharus, but due to weird circumstances my name is stuck to the resource.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

The number of players should not make a difference. All players go through the same exact steps on map initialization. If this was a problem with the map then surely all players would disconnect from the host and not just a few random ones. I strongly suspect this is a issue on Blizzard's end since there was no desync issues prior to 1.30.

@Bribe I see. Your name was attributed to Ascii from the TextSplat2 library so I just assumed you had a hand in writing it. I will get that corrected. :)

You might want to delete the Chat Log in F12 (still available). I had quite a funny Time when i saw what other Player typed into their "secret" Chat. It's obviously only when you create an own Subject but in my Mind i wouldn't remove that, since it's what makes the Game funny and random.

 

[Nudl9]

This is my favourite map now.
Everything is so well executed.
10/10 would play again.

 

[Nudl9]

Can you add extra lists of word subjects to draw from?
Personally i find these games the most fun when players draw custom words, but it's difficult to force it down on people
For example if you were able to pick from these subjects:
-Default list (vanilla words)
-WC3 list, examples: Blademaster, Azeroth, Boots of Speed, Footman
-Pop Culture: Trump, Spongebob, etc
-Geography: Nationalities, like norway, denmark. Something that would make players draw representations of that country and not the flag.

 

[Nudl9]

game is rip
blizzard killed it with patch

 

[Wareditor]

Probably related to the fx orientation fix from latest patch.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Updated the map to work with patch 1.31+.

 

[Nudl9]

Nice, thank you for updating.

 

[IcemanBo]

Enjoyed playing it, thanks for making. : )

 

[Linaze]

Looks a bit funky for me (referring to UI, latest patch):


Other than that this is really cool, even though I still miss a fill tool (and possibly tooltips when hovering over the different "pencils").

Your map plays great, but it would be better to have guessing all the players until time runs out (for lower points gain) instead of only the first one.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Huh? That's how it works isn't it?. One player draws while the rest of the players take guesses until they guess correctly or the timer runs out.

 

[micca]

no, only the first player who guesses the word correctly gets the points and the next round starts after that and others can't guess any more.

 

[Damage]

Trying to play this on the latest patch on Battle.net (Reforged / Classic graphics both) no longer works. The paint is invisible, and all the icons in the bottom right corner are missing (displaying the green square)

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Couldn't reproduce the issue. 1.0d-r1 on the latest patch with classic graphics still work as far as I can tell.
