I'm in. A couple of questions though:
How much does eye candy count for?
Does Jass get bonus points?
What about memory leaks?
Does trigger efficancy matter?
Can we do an aura type thing or a something like omnislash?
Will all the maps be released after judging?

most of your questions are answered in the first post, but for the ones not answered already:
jass does not get bonus points
anyone that decides to join this is welcome to release their maps after the deadline, whenever that will be, but the best of each ability will definately be released either in the free trigger code thread or somewhere else

I'll host an ability contest, award for winner: bragging rights and more respect.

Rules
1. Submitting a ability you did not make, this means downloading an ability,taking a ability from another map ect. You will be kicked out from the contest.
2. Getting someone to make the ability for you will also get you kicked out of the contest.
3. Stealing/taking parts of abilities from, downloaded abilities,other peoples maps ect, and using them in your map will also result in you kicked out of the contest.
(Temp rules list, may be changed/updated)

Judging
You will be judged on multiple areas, you will have a rating for each area, and an overall.

Appearance - How the ability looks when casted, this will be taken into great consideraton, exspecially if you are adding to much to the appearance.

Trigger - Making your ability in jass will not give you bonus points, but can lead to a better score as if can lead to cleaner code, ect.
You will be judged upon how many triggers it took to make the spell, this is only taken into consideration if you didn't need all the triggers you used.
It will also be judged as if there are memory leaks or not, variables being used for no reason, useless code included in your trigger(s) ect.

Description - Ah yes, the description of an ability, and balance. You must include a description of your ability, what it does and the effects of it.
Balance will not be taken to seriously as a big area to judge on, this is just to make sure members don't get carried away, and make some ability that does 999 damage a second to the target unit.

4/5 of those abilities are already in my map :p

All I'd have to do is add a blood vial and I could submit it as is

I hope signing up is still allowed on this topic. I cannot submit it when I'm on this account, obviously, so sign up "Rinpun" instead. I have a few spells I'd like to clean up before showing. I'm pretty sure at least several of them haven't been created yet.

Should we just go for 1 ability or make 1 hero with different abilities??

We don't need to do the abilities on the list, right? :p

And can we PM the judges with a link to the map (like rapidshare) instead? Email won't work for me ...

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
