SPELL CONTEST | theme: Hell | 29.06.08 - 13.07.08

[Andrewgosu]

Not really sure why I got such a bad score on balance, I put a lot of effort into balancing it for melee. Maybe someone can explain it to me?

That is not your fault, mine. I checked the scores at least three times but there's still a typo. The 6 must actually be a 9. However, that would leave you with 61 points, still and the top 5 remains unchanged.

Sorry for inconvenience.

I am sorry, but I had to disqualify Exide.

Using a GUI-JASS hybrid was not allowed.

-I don't get it. There's not GUI-JASS hybrid in my map?

You made the spell in GUI, converted it into JASS and pretty much replaced globals with locals. Some of them. You used pseudo-globals and converted GUI.

The rules for this contest were pretty loose, however that was the only thing I did not want to see and I explained in the first post: no GUI-JASS hybrids.

All of this could have been avoided if you had just sticked to the GUI version and not disabled it.



Try your luck in the next spell contest!

That coming from a guy who didn't support seeing that BJ in triggers and said he likes to code with no BJ in it

That was like a million years ago! And I learn something new every day, including that initialization BJs which inline the code are not so bad.

PolledWait is a leaking BJ... We still use it.

I agree, but since I just do spells from time to time and I don't plan on releasing any map, I won't bother to learn to use anything else as it would just waste my time. I'll keep doing it in my old fashioned way. I keep thinking at the first spellmakers. Imagine that they didn't had even this obsolete system and they couldn't transfer information and handles like that .

Just go with the flow, man.

Copy the PolledWait code, fix the leak and shove it into your own library to use instead of the normal one. I call mine PW.

Thanks for fixing that up, thought I'd gone crazy or something. Though I'm still wondering how I scored less in balance than some spells that are 3x more powerful.

Not worried though, it would be hard to be 100% consistent with that many maps to mark.

GJ.

That sucks.
I'm not going to argue this. I just want to say that I think that plain sucks.

 

[jnZ]

wtf iam third? i thought my spell sucks -.- you guys suck at grading spells if you grade my noobspell as third xD

however gratz to the winner

 

[Darthfett]

Congratulations to the winners. I really liked your effects, Smith_S9, but it was a bit hard to understand what was supposed to happen, by the tooltip and the visual as well.

I lol'd when I saw I got a wow-factor of 3, I didn't do much to plan out the looks. I guess I was trying for more points in the other categories.

Once I tested, I realized it didn't look very good, and tried to work on it a lot more, by adding a fireball destroy effect on the targets, making the fire smaller, and seethrough, but I just couldn't get anything to look good. : /

Since this was mostly a coding contest (for me), I was looking more at my coding score. Was there anything that could have been done better besides the is-unit-in-bounds being in lined?

I think that if we have a next contest, a bit longer descriptions for the score would have been better to help out the contestants.

 

[seph ir oth]

I'm just looking forward for a tower contest.

 

[monoVertex]

just go with the flow, man.

NEVER! :thdown:

Seriously, it's the time I would waste that it's stopping me. I'll just do it that way. Heck, it seems my obsolete Handle Vars managed to get a second place and I didn't lost because of coding .

Yeah... I have the habit to make complex, unexplainable spells xD.

 

[Curo]

Darn, I failed. Well I'm really glad you went through the extra time to give us custom comments. So Andrew doesn't like my timers eh? I used them to time the periodic bursts of flame. I suppose Phoenix Fire would have been more practical, but is there an option to give it splash damage as well?

Gah...all I wanted was my custom title

 

[R@i_no_Wyrm]

Aw, so far in the bottom... well seems like i need 2 practice more

Congrats to the winner!!

Hope another contest will be made. Good spell every1

 

[Viikuna]

Hey Im 4th. cool

Good job everybody, Congrats !!

 

[jnZ]

Question: What is the reward if I should happen to win, or something close?

Answer: The first three places will receive reputation from me and Mizuio Ken and from anyone else, who wishes to congratulate.

never recieved reputation from Mizuio Ken xD but thanks for yours Andrewgosu

Just went on a repping spree for top 5 (except myself, of course). Congrats!

 

[Uberplayer]

> never recieved reputation from Mizuio Ken xD but thanks for yours Andrewgosu
It took a long time for Ken to rep me for Texturing Contest (thanks him for remembering that though.. or was it me..? And was it even Texturing Contest?). So don't expect to get the rep very sooooon...

I repped the top 3 few days ago.. or yesterday? God summer makes me forgetful.

 

[waaaks!]

lol, my overall score was 62, i didnt expect that my spell would get a high score, because the spell is just so simple and easily coded, even a newbie can do that

anyways, congrats to moonslinga'

 

[yunusowic]

strange grading eh ?
