Description
WarPaint is a simple drawing and guessing party minigame for up to 24 players.

line2-png.310461


Gameplay
One player becomes the artist and is tasked to draw a sketch that best illustrates the given or chosen subject.
As the artist is busy drawing, the rest of the players has to guess the subject being drawn.
Points goes to whoever first guesses correctly and to the current artist.
Once the subject has been figured out, the round ends and a new player gets to be the artist.
The player with the most points at the end wins the game.
Simple as that.

Configuration
Before the game can begin, the host player will be able to configure an array of game properties to create a tailored experience, or choose one of the predefined presets.

Singleplayer
When only one player is detected, the game will automatically enter a free draw mode in which the
player can freely draw whatever he/she want without a time limit.
If you're playing on Warcraft 3 patch 1.30 or newer, drawings can be saved and loaded in this mode.

Background
This is essentially just an excuse to mess around with some of the new JASS natives to see what they're capable of.
For that I wanted to create something very simple to make that utilizes the new mouse and effect natives extensively.
This is the result.


line1-png.310460


Warcraft 3 patch 1.29 or newer is required in order to play WarPaint.
Recommended display aspect ratio: 4:3 or wider.
WarPaint only supports standard ASCII inputs.

WarPaint v1.0c (Map)

WarPaint v1.0d-r1 (Map)

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.

Funny, this says you're using a Link model among other things: Resources in Use by WarPaint v1.0 | HIVE
That feature's broke as fuck yo. I'm not using any of those assets. Amusing.

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

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
 
@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?
 
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. :)

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.
