There have been 3 or 4 people promoting their own map, I myself do not promote my own project. It wouldn't really matter anyhow who promotes what; you might find your own map original and well made, but how does everyone else look at it? That's why I think that "The Platformer" is the right candidate, the only other 2D-map I've played for WC3 is 2-P's Bouncing Bug, and that's not anything like this one.

I'm not nominating my own map just because I think its effing awesome, I'm nominating my own project because of some of its originality and the good lore that makes sense =P

You act like only a 2D map can win, "Map of the Week."

Besides, isn't that like taking a step backwards? This is a 3D game with a 3D engine and you're only using 2 of the D's! Make a 3D platformer and I might vote for it.

That makes it some what original.

This again, would kill the dimension-usage-originality ;).

> You act like only a 2D map can win, "Map of the Week."
He never said anything like that.

Even though it's possible to create 3D games, there are still many 2D games being made. So it's not like 3D > 2D.

I can't seem to figure out where I "acted as if only a 2D-map could win". The whole thing were about finding original and fun maps, which The Platformer fills up perfectly. What I meant was that of all the recent projects, The Platformer is very original due to it's kind.

Another way to look at it is how difficult it is to make the map original. Take The Platformer for example, there aren't a lot of maps alike it, making it original by default. Try making an AoS without someone comparing you to DotA, this is more difficult than making a 2D-jumper.

We all know the old games like Space Invaders or Super Mario rule the world (of gaming) ^^.

Couple said my map was epic when they tested it, but I dont see it, seeing how it only shows the early stages of the new faction.

Its called Project Blackice, the thread is on this section, front page.

It awesome no vote took place, There should be a vote and see which maps get the most votes, then another poll to pick between those maps that had highest votes be the map of the week.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
