Where do you go to test multiplayer maps?

[Cetacean]

Are there any mapmaking clans/channels or communities out there? I haven't been active in recent years, and have no idea where people go to test out new maps these days.

Advice?

Well, people usually test their map out in LAN parties( or what ever they call that), or host it in B.Net or in Garena. But if you're alone or your friends are just busy, there's a tool here (or was it a system?) in hive that allows you to run multiple instances of WC3 at the same time and test the map yourself. I think it was made by rulerofiron? I'll try to search for it myself but I really believe it's in the tools section. :3

EDIT: Was a tutorial sorry, Multiple Warcraft 3 Running in a Single PC
EDIT2: Mapmaking Clans? I think there's still stuff like that in B.net and Garena.

I never test them with others, but here is suggestion test awesome jngp v2 by moyack, with it you can test my multyplayer with only one pc, only you. That is increadably useful and it is much better then my English.

I also use JNGP2.0 for this it is a lot easier since its built into the WE program. Just select the number of instances(players) u want to run. Then to to local play and select ur map like when using normal LAN play.

Yes, I've tested things out with kloader, but what I'm really interested in is how much the code lags in a b.net environment with a full house (4v4).

I only know like 1 or 2 people irl who play Warcraft III, and scheduling test sessions is difficult, so that's why I was curious if there are any clans out there.

 

[deathismyfriend]

U should be able to test in kLoader the lag u see there should be the same as a multiplayer game. It may be a little less, but it should be close.

Garena.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Garena.

What is that ? I've heard of it b4 lol

Because some countries cannot afford a Premium Warcraft 3 or the Genuine CD Key, esp. we SEAns(Southeast Asians). Thanks to the maker of Garena,which gave us the experience to play Warcraft 3 online since 2004?. But not just Warcraft 3,you can also play COD, L4D 1 and 2, Counter Strike, and more.

In short, Garena was the alternative for BNet and was cheaper($0) and was more popular.

^Agree
also, many people have switch from B.Net to Garena, but I think JNGP 2.0 and KLoader can do the job instead.

Out of curiosity, what is the local pricing like for the games you mentioned?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Well, I protect the map and go host it on garena
If somethings is bugged, I just leave and continue lol, who cares if they have broken map

lol i wouldnt want my name being associated with a broken map lol.
Other than that tho he would still need to test it a few times in a row in case there are bugs. So that would be a little annoying and time consuming waiting for 7 other ppl to join the map to see if everything works. Also who knows if they will tell u when something doesnt work. They might just use that as an advantage over the other players.

i meant if i was u lol. i shouldve worded that better. sry about that.
he wants to check all 8 players so him plus 7 other ppl.
They will only complain if it hurts them. They will be fine with a bug if it helps them.
