Life in Lordaeron - Beta Testers Needed!

[Mind]

Finally, after 49 days (including 35 days of my vacation), my ultimatum is ready:
Life in Lordaeron.

I need some people to test this map thoroughly… However, I want it to be done in single player first. This map may not be released yet.

Please be as criticizing as possible. Report everything, criticize even the good things.

Edit: If you download the map to test or play it, please tell me.

 

[vito]

I will test it if i can plz
it will be my honor to do it

 

[Raz-u]

hm u want tester they arent hard to find i want to be tester

 

[Mind]

All are more then welcome to test my map. You don't have to ask permission.
I just want to know who downloads my map from this topic, because I'm rather anxious about having my map stolen.
Especially in this state, it would break my soul if someone respectless and cruel enough would crush the result of many, many weeks of very hard work.

 

[vito]

ffs i cant start it in sigelplayer

whan i click Start game nothing hapen

 

[vito]

and i downlodet it 2 times thougt that maybi now will work
but it i not working

 

[Mind]

Odd.
It did work to me. Perhaps you need to wait a few seconds?

Odd.
When I attached the map to the thread, it was in fact to large to be attached. Yet, strangely, it could be uploaded… Perhaps it's incompletely uploaded?

It doesn't matter. I've tested my level myself already. The level will be released soon.

If its too big and its being truncated, you can mail it to me.

[email protected]

I can temporarily host it on the tutorial site, and provide a private link in this thread.

 

[Mind]

Unfortunatly, the file is also too large to be attached to an e-mail.

Edit : Too large to be attached to an e-mail with the crude Hotmail system, I mean. This is not a problem at all, fortunatly, for the Yahoo system.

Done.

Test Minds map.

[Death Knight]

downloaded it

 

[NoxMortus]

uhh, ive downloaded it but its not working for me, i think it may have something to do with the file being .w3x, warcraft 3 doesnt seem to recognise the file, and doesnt give it the normal 'map icon'. ive attatched a screenie of the icons.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Minds map is for THE FROZEN THRONE.

 

[NoxMortus]

oh right ok, im getting that tommorow, ty.

edit -- shall i delete the message then? ive kinda made a fool of myself...

 

[SD_Ryoko]

No because then other fools don't have to post it too

 

[Death Knight]

hèhè..

I opened the map in WE, which was at first a big mistake. My comp nearly crashed because of the size! Really nice town and all.

But here are some things (note that I'm only critizizing (pff that's some baad english) and trying to help you)

This is all concerning terraining:
Now I haven't been going through the total map, but I noticed ruined house next to not-ruined houses. Looks a bit odd to me.
Waterfalls appear out of nothing, which also looks weird.
Cliff edges are straight, looking unnatural. Furthermore I can only say that the town looks real good.

And there is a little mistake in the leaderboard (at least I think) because in the trigger editor it says <empty string>.

I'm gonna play the map tommorow, gotta finish my own map making first .

==edit==
if the houses are ment to be ruined, then I suggest you replace the grass underneath with rock or dirt, because grass usually doesn't grow underneath ruined housed

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Without looking at it yet...

Possbily use rocks or change the waterfall height to blend it.

Ramping cliffs, using elevation changes instead of cliffs, and using cliff doodads are great ways of touching them up. I personally love the cliff slides & broken cliff doodads.

 

[Mind]

The not-ruined buildings next to the ruined buildings are also abandoned, but not completely destroyed yet.

The waterfalls don't appear from nowhere; You just can't see the rivers behind the boundary.

Grass can't grow under the floor fundaments of the buildings, but can easily overgrow them.

No, there's no mistake with the leaderboard. It's not supposed to have a title, I remember…
But, eh, what leaderboard are you talking about?

What's unnatural about straight cliffs? Perhaps I misunderstood?

I appreciate your criticism. Keep it up like that.

As I said, I recently tested my map myself. The amount of bugs was staggering. More then one and a half large A4 sheets where filled with reported bugs.
