[Contest] Hero Contest 1#

[Daskunk]

Hero Contest 1#​

Approved by: Daxtreme [Link]
In this contest, you must make a hero that goes together well, and is fun to use.
EXAMPLE: Archmage. All icons and spells have a blue theme. He has an aura which increases mana regeneration, and abilities that cost a lot of mana, and pretty low cooldown. His aura goes well with his other abilities because of that. He can use water elementals to take damage while he casts blizzard, or fires from a range. He's INT which also goes well with low cooldown and high mana cost spells.His attack, and all of his spells, are range, and, being a spell caster, this is good. You can also summon a water elemental and mass TP to it with his ult.. Generally, everything fits together well to make a fun hero.

Prize:​

• The winner of this contest gets reputation points from: DAskunk (Worth +2),Romek (Worth +3), undeadorcjerk(Worth 4), [Total 9]and whomever else wants to.

Rules:​

• Must be a balanced hero, like one you could add to a melee map.
• You can use JASS and/or GUI, or no triggers, and ALL of your spell coding must be written by you, besides Systems in the map, which are not related to the hero.
• The hero you enter must be new and made specially for this contest.
• Imported models, icons, and skins are allowed.
• Your hero must have 4 spells. They don’t need to be triggered if you don’t want.
• Do not submit protected maps.
• Make the hero easy to test.
• GUI will not receive points over JASS, nor will the other way around. How well made the GUI\JASS is, does matter, though.
• Do not directly ask how to make a spell on the forums. You're allowed to ask "how do I do this", but not "can someone make this spell for me".
  Systems allowed:
  • CSCache
  • Local Handle Variables
  • ABC
  • PUI

Thread Rules:​

• No bashing.
• Off-site links are okay.
• No spam.
• Give helpful feedback, not mindless praise or bashing..
• YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP TO SUBMIT A HERO.
• AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR HERO, YOU MAY EDIT IT.
• IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO SIGN UP. ( Until its ended anyways.)

Judgeing:

Winners will be dicided by the public...Details below.​

1. People submit their heroes.
2. People on the forum playtest the maps for the heroes.
3. Anybody and everybody can vote publicly by posting in the poll thread. Every voter can give 2 points; they can give 1 point to each of their two favorites, or they can give 2 points to just one submission. Perhaps they only want to give out 1 point.
4. People's votes only count if they give a valid, acceptable reason for doing so. E.G: "I liked hero X for A, B, and C. It did have a flaw due to D, but overall it was the best hero of the bunch."
5. After some time, the public voting is closed.
6. Votes are counted manually by someone (a moderator or the contest runner) and then shown.
7. Either the top 4 contestants or all of them are then reviewed by 1 or 2 judges and given an X/100 score for their coding.
8. Points given in votes and the judging score are then combined in some way to yield a total score that determines the "winner".

Deadline:

• Contest will start in a week and last 3 weeks, unless people ask it to change.

CONTEST WILL END ON MARCH 9th!

Q: Should I make a theme? No theme seems good for right now.

Tell me if I did anything wrong\spelling errors. Hope you like this contest.

A theme? Maybe..just think about it. If this get approved I will join...

 

[venci15]

can i make a clock spell? something like a wisp weal but the movement will be like stopwatch

 

[BRUTAL]

we can do any hero we want?
i got confused when you mentioned the arch mage

 

[Dois]

you should also mention that the archmage's mass teleport works in tandem with summoning his water elementals... he can summon one and send it somewhere else and later Mass Tele to it

You can make any kind of hero you want. Archmage was a example of a good hero.

Sure, as long as you dont use someone elses code\triggers.

Yeah I suppose, most common use is with critter though...

 

[Naga'sShadow]

Sounds fun. I'll try to submit a hero, if I can get a hold of the RAM I need to run my computer.

 

[Romek]

I really wanna join a contest, but i know i won't finish the map.

I'll give rep to the winner. And i would judge, but I'm not good enough in JASS to judge in it

 

[pongpong]

the hero must suit which type of game? Aos, rpg, strategy? etc

[Daskunk]

Any kind.

@BRUTAL:
Easy enough to change, im sure... But if it isnt you can just make a archmage, idc.

 

[BRUTAL]

yes it would
but i liked the theme of archmage
well thats what i thought it was but its fine
when we are done do we just post the map on an attachment?
and can we give the hero more then 4 abilities? or is 4 just the minumum

You can still do archmage.

No more than four and no less. You can make him summon a unit that can casts spells, or make him transeform into somthing with differnt abilities, or have a spellbook ability though.

When its done attach it in a post, or link to DL on Epic war...

 

[Darkchaoself]

I might join, haven't cracked open WE in like 3-4 months

 

[BRUTAL]

ok, i got all the info i need now

 

[0zaru]

We can use vJASS as well as ABC or HSAS or CSData etc?

I gusse so. But since I dont know what those are, really, I dont know if it would be fair or not. :nuts:

 

[Hatebreeder]

Those are just attachment Systems
Just forbid the Caster System, because you can make incredible spells from it with just a few lines :nuts::nuts:
anyways, If this gets approved, I'll definatly join.

 

[Trollvottel]

Me too, or ill be maybe a judge, must think about it a bit...
