DotA Allstars : Revival

newrevival3.jpg


An attempt to recreate the popular map, DotA Allstars.
Version: 0.239 (Beta)


A Short Story

“Darkness comes upon the ancients once again after many brawls throughout the battlegrounds. Cenarius, the Lord of the Forest, awakens the other ancients, calling them to fend off the invader; the Undead. After being destroyed at Eternity's End, the Undead are revived by a new presence.” (And yes, this story is for fun)


The Map

This map is being developed on in the hopes that map makers may have an easier time making their own map better. I've always wondered how the game would be if there were certain additions to it that never were implemented into DotA Allstars, like a new hero or game-mode. This map I've been piecing together for few months now is here. It's not done but there is a lot of headway made.

I agree, it may sound lame to do this, but it's for good reason. Why not try? There are heroes in other maps that aren't played often. If they could be tested in DotA Allstars it might give the creator a new view on how he/she could improve their hero, making more well-made maps. The reason why I feel the old template isn't good enough is because with the old one, you can't create a hero, get a few friends together to play your edited version, & after some tests get experience and data on what should be changed. With this, you can. Also, I do not support map stealing, I just think having something like this would help map makers make their own maps better.

3. Idea comments (Give your thoughts on what should be changed).


FAQ
Question: Are you just deprotecting the map and calling it your project?

Answers: There's two things to that. One, no I'm not deprotecting anything. Two, it's not completely my project to begin with. People in the past have helped me think of this idea, I just continued its life.


Question: Why are you recreating someone else's work?

Answer: Because I want to, and because I think it'd help others.


Question: I want to help code hero abilities. Should I make it in GUI/JASS, & does it matter if it's MUI?

Answer: I would prefer we work on this in GUI. After five years of editing I still don't know JASS that well. It should be in MUI too. Post or PM me if you want to help out.

Oh well, please don't ...

Dota had very low JASS at the first place, and now you want to remake it repeating the same mistake?

Learn Jass, damnit! If you can't do it, don't try to remake the most popular map in wc3 history and leave the job to someone more skilled.

Did you get the terrain from here? If not, where...

You should fix the minimap, it is colored as brown not green. And the taverns on minimap is full of house pictures lol.

EDIT: And Roshan's scaling value should be 2.0. You should increase the map boundaries, I can see the edge, while in DotA, not. Change the world cactus, it's really lame. And rotate the frozen throne a lil, since it's stairs are starting from the right tower, it should be at the middle of the two towers. The granite golems at the ancient neutrals looks like roshan, since it color and size. And I don't like it, 0% originality. Don't even think that you will also be popular by just copying how DotA works.

I used Moonlight's DotA Template map. Give me some time to make the necessary changes. As for the World Cactus though, the reason I did that was because I didn't like the old World Tree base model. I'll probably change it if I get too many suggestions to. Also, I'm not here for originality or popularity, so I'm okay with that. :)

Would you like me to give you IceFrog's world tree model? I have it :D

GUI instead of JASS for a map this complex doesn't bother me too much. However, having the spells not MUI? That's not going to work.

Well I didn't think it would be a problem if they weren't MUI, but if it will, then I guess I'll change it to have them into MUI. :cool:

The reason it needs to be MUI, if not at least MPI, is if players decide to do "same hero mode". They will both have the same hero and will not be able to cast the same spell at the same time without it stuffing up because the triggers for that spell only accomadated for one unit casting the spell.

There's still lots of things need to be fix. Like the tree chop isn't really 15 sec cooldown it has no cooldown at all. And, those recipes still can't combine them plus the Forces should be Team 1 : Night Elf and Team 2 : Undead.
