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, just like my Balin's Tomb map, I kept the author as the original one from 2002, to keep their name and legacy alive. I added my name in the loading screen showing that I "reforged" the map. The original author has not been on the community/on the internet since 2002 from what I can tell.

Balin's Tomb was approved under this format.

Please make sure the maps are not just updated to Reforged and come with some quality of life improvements/updates otherwise there's no point in approving these.

There are a ton of improvements, I mentioned some of them in the description. The old map would not even let you finish as one of the cutscenes did not progress a variable it needed to. Additionally, the final boss did so much damage that you could not beat him. The item shop was a mess, some of the abilities were useless or weird. I did a lot. It plays like I thought it did as a kid, but it works now It gives the nostalgic feelings by not changing visuals, while being a much improved map.

I also changed most of the "every 2 seconds" triggers to static triggers to improve stability and prevent constant trigger firing.

Could you link the exact map you modified? Anarexic_Elves doesn't seem to be the original author.

 

[Bennoloth]

That is a really good question, I started editing this map in 2019 and the true source of things is even harder to find 5 years later. I can tell you what I think I did for my research.

The original map I edited was either this one, or very close to this one: Yu Yu Hakusho Redited 4.0 - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com

Here are some reasons why I believe Anarexic_Elves was the original author.

1. In this relatively old version of the map (uploaded in 2007), the editor of the map states that Anarexic_Elves is the original creator.
2. In other versions of YYH such as the VTS (VashThyStampede) version, the creator/editor admits that they are not the original creator.
3. This version of the map has only RoC models, no custom spells, and a .w3m (RoC) file type. I.E., the map was made in 2002 and has its original setup, before Frozen Throne came out in 2003.
4. I played this game in 2002 as a child, and I remember the name Anarexic_Elves being on the original map when I played it.

If you disagree, I am wondering who you believe to be the original author?

Nice old school map. Too mundane for nowadays sadly.
Simple.

I edited the map a lot and customized the skill descriptions so they fit the show. The secrets are more well done, there is an AFK kick option. As far as I can tell the map is well balanced and well flavored. I would appreciate if you can review again. Thanks.

I could barely recall but there used to exist a version with voice effect of "ray gun!" from yusuke and also with version with retro looking anime models. It's nice to read that vital parts of it fixed like Elder Taguro Boss Fight. There are some bugs like regeneration of mana bug among others I could feintly remember. Most version have that intro music from the anime - and I can't wait to try to host this online when I got time.

I had a few maps I made edited too - like StarWars BFTF (lots of improvement like complete hotkeys for any learned jedi/sith bought skills - fixed tooltips and some new skills) and some Russian to English machine translated map like New Naruto Shipuuden --- back when I had the enthusiasm to fix abandoned maps, but now am just either too busy or too lazy.

I wish there were public/free available models for all YYH characters and enemies, unfortunately I don't think it exists.

I added the intro music, partially from your suggestion. I had been thinking about it for a while, and I think it fits the map now. I actually tied it into one of the map secrets - hint the OP is called "Smile Bomb"! =)

Approved for old school map curating sake.
It's not too often you get to play as the wave against the heroes as well. However, there's little replayability value aside trying all heroes but to do that you need to switch player slots as the map doesn't have a hero selection feature...
