Given the enormous success of the single-player version (at least 3 people played it more than once),
here's the long-awaited sequel:

Defend the Tower II - Multi-player edition


The big change would be that it supports 4 players at once.


The primary objective is rather clear:
Protect your tower.
If it goes down, so do you.

Last man standing wins.

Optionally, whatever "men" are still standing when the timer runs out will win.


You may add a comp as player if you want.
They aren't the greatest or so, but don't go down easy either.


Note:
This map has never been tested online.
Chances are it will desync within the first second or so...


Additionally, this also features a completely untested, unverified and highly experimental kick vote system.
And comments on that one are more than welcome.
Usage: type "-kick".


Needless to say, which is why I'm specifically pointing it out, replays are welcome.
Try to stay to the end, even if you didn't make it.
And, preferably, put the map in C:\<path to W3>\Maps\Download, the general mapping community will thank you for it.


Yours,
AceHart


Q: What's different to single-player?
A1: It's multi-player
A2: Some minor details are greatly different

Q: I can't seem to win anymore...
A: That would be one of the minor details that are greatly different

Q: Any other such "details"?
A: Plenty

Q: Played with comps and they had a truck-load of own units. Where did he get all those Charm charges from?
A: There are other ways...

Q: I'm sure I have more Creeps to kill than anyone else!
A1: Well all know that random really isn't
A2: It's a conspiracy
A3: Blizzard hates you

Q: Hey, I found a shop! :p
A: Tried using it?

Q: Yep. But that somehow went the wrong way...
A: Damn. Use with care. Comps don't by the way.

Q: It's not in GUI anymore :(
A: I know

Q: Still looking for replays?
A: Always

Q: What if I didn't do that well?
A: How badly you (got) owned is of little importance

Q: It doesn't work!
A: Oh, really?

Q: Yeah, really!
A1: Details man, details. What, where, who, why and what should have happened instead?
A2: Got the replay?


As expected, the map at the end:

4 people managed to play it for a whopping two minutes, and it didn't desync.

Replays can't be saved. After three people died, it kicked the fourth straight back into the channel(I clicked the "Wootness" button) without giving me the scores/save replay option.

>Two minutes???
The other three sucked, badly. They died in that time.

Trying the new version now.

Edit
Scores show properly, replays are saveable, people still fail miserably at this game. Lasted an amazing 3:25...

Well being stupid enough to see it just now...

Much better than the first game. Much harder, pissing the computers is fun and footmen still own. Quite enjoyable, though my ass is getting tired of being kicked.

I have no intentions to post replays, at least not now. My longest survive time was about 5min. Quite embarrassing. :p

when the game ends, in the wc3 score screen, left to continue (or whatever) there is a button save replay. Click it. then go to the warcraft folder and search or folder replays. There you will find the replay. Then simply attach it 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.

    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
