Hello guys, My name is Kris.

I have just turned 17 YO and have started my new job as a Hewett Packard Field Services Technician in Australia.
My love for all things IT has been a major part of life since I was little, Doing everything from de constructing computers and assembling them again, creating games, troubleshooting errors, and everything I could possibly do.

Ok that's enough of my life story.

Although I already have a job, I am wanting to create a kind of "portfolio" for showing off my skills, in case I decide to apply for a different position, or job for that matter.

One of my passions has been game making, and I am wanting to create multiple demonstrations of skill in different engines

I have already created one in the unity, and unreal engine.

However for my final demonstration, I would like to create a map in Warcraft to demonstrate my skills when creating an experience for multiple users at a time.

I am a big fan of LOAP, and was thinking of making a new version of it, only using the base concept, but re working every single aspect.
Everything will be new, and I will also use a save load system so people are able to keep there characters from game to game.
However, is it worth making a map that so many people have already made cheap rip off's and edit's of?
or should I just come up with a brand new concept?

also, where is the best place to start learning JASS scripting?

Thank you for your time
Kris

Edit: I chose loap as I am a big fan of role playing games, as in you pretend and act like your character.
 
the best way to learn jass is to download the NewGen World Editor and look at some systems here. Jass is the most complex yet easiest to understand language but it cant work outside world editors which limits it. Here on the forum you have a jass section so search there or simply put "jass tutorial" in google or in search. Good luck with your map making :D

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
