Thats 2 Bad..

Wow, theres already a Fungus Tower... (from 1st contest which i just checked)

Oh well, time to make it even more unique than a tower about mushrooms.

Question: Are we allowed to add Upgrades that improve your tower's abilities?

i don't think so. but you can add abilities to your tower, but it may have to be built in. I'm making 2 towers (one upgrades to the other) that use abilities that are automatic (using leak-less triggers :))

Sorry

I apologize, but I cannot submit my entry on time.

My tower will not work no matter what I try, and the next two days will be busy. I am going on holiday to an electricity-free place for 8 days on the 28th, and I'll only be back about 3 days after the due date.

I'd rather not put in the effort. The next three days will be heavily family-based, and I won't have enough time. I have been working on something else.

Okay, I already made one (just tonight) and I think it is good enough for the Tower Contest thing.

I'm not sure if leavers can go back to the contest. If not then I understand..

> I'm not sure if leavers can go back to the contest. If not then I understand..

Yes, you can come back.
I'm not taking a very strict line here. I see no reason to.

> Is it alright if I post a thread asking for ideas?

Yes.
However, it would be to your advantage to add something of your own onto the original idea you got from someone else....

I am dropping out of the contest.
My free time is scarce and I decided that I would rather spend it on my map.

I have a problem with my screenshots. It always goes out black but I have no 3rd part programs inside wc3. What's the problem anyway?

Cannot submit for now unless I can fix the screenshots (if required).

There is nothing in the first post stating screenshots are required.

As so there isn't.

I'm just curious 'cuz the past contests has screenshot at almost every (make that EVERY) submittion. Sorry for wasting the time.

I'll submit my erh, submittion later.

PS: My tower's power is based on the corpses on the ground, but does not damage if there is none. So may I add at least the Arcane Tower to kill some units? I added a Dismantle ability to it actually.

PSS: I think I forgot to fix the leaks. Submit it a little later..

Last minute entry! Sign me up.

I have an idea that I'm pretty excited about and I finally got the basics of it working right. I'll be submitting the final product in the next day or so.

I'd like to get an idea of how many people might submit if they have more time.

The deadline can be moved. But only if I find sufficient reason to do so.

If you are working on a tower and intend to submit soon, please tell me here.

    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
