Been a while since the last map update, right? Well, primarily since we've been doing a lot with the map and we're still

pretty busy with our everyday lives of course. I have posted some screenshots some time ago for you guys to know what's in

store of the next version. :)

And to check out our group 'Panda Wars Lovers' aat PlayDotA.com :p You can join if you want.

Small Update about the map, but more like news. ^_^

Did you know?? IceFrog, the creator of DotA, just said that the map was interesting and told me to keep it up. That's awesome. (I'm not lying here, IceFrog and I have some connections)

Just a thing, when i readed decription
Level up to level 100!!
, i got a very creepy feeling... Do you think someones going to lvl 100 in a DotA like game?? In DotA, normaly you just come to lvl 19-22 until end. If you want to still have the 100 lvl limit change the tower hp and atk speed and damage.

I find I level up far faster playing this then when I play DotA. The game for me normally finishes with me at level 45-50 because of the easiness of the AI which are getting upgraded next version.

Gameplay gonna be VERY different in v3.18. Don't get too familiar with this. Max level will be 34 in the next version.

For who want to test the AI, please Click Me! to download the map.

Note : The map is not v3.18, but v3.17. Some icons are removed to reduce the size of map.
Known Issues : <insert name>(I forgot the hero's name)'s model is missing. It is a shadow and unclickable.

What can new version of AI(s) do?
Casting spells on heroes.
Retreat when there is no more creep nearby.
Buying Items.
Back to base to heal when low on hp.

Any suggestion/bug reporting for the AI? Do tell me and I will add it if it is possible.

Update : Due to some terrain changes, I need to modify the AI pathing. ;)

Update #2 : I tried to port it for 3 lanes, but it was bugged. I'm trying to fix it.
If the situation is still bad, I will rewrote the AI(It usually takes me 1 day).

Schedule of me :
18/2 : Homework
19/2 : Outgoing
20/2 : AI
21/2 : Homework

Update #3 : The AI worked good. Left the creep spawning bug(I rewrote it for making more advanced and efficient ai script), I will fix it if there is time for me. :)

:D Cool! Thanks for that. If you guys have any comments? What do you guys think of three lanes instead of one?

And note: It's my birthday today!! I'm now 16 yrs old.

Just finished the porting of AI. :D
I shall release it for testing later.
As usual, I shall remove some icon to reduce the file size of beta map.

Is it the latest map you'll be releasing with the fixed terrain or not?
I'm not the terrainer. :D However, I fixed the distance between 2 forces by changing the position of spawning.

Click Me!
I decided to leave the icons there. :p

    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
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
