Cool.

This is just awesome!

I was wondering if you could do the old Visage instead?? Current one is terrible. >_<

 

[HeX.16]

What is the old one? I dont really play dota that much.

 

[CungPowCow]

Old Visage had things like Soul Assumption giving HP regen to his flying buddies when Visage attacked or something like that.

Anyways, Updated to v0.235

 

[HeX.16]

Sweet new version.

EDIT: WOW i had no idea i made so many spells.

Old Visage had things like Soul Assumption giving HP regen to his flying buddies when Visage attacked or something like that.

Anyways, Updated to v0.235

Sweet!

Love this one. Keep it up! :thup:

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.

Nicely said. Currently DotA is just dominating all the other maps out there and the mapping industry is just going down... but hopefully with this map people can try something new and better.

I will try to help you with this map. I'm not good with triggers and GUI but I'll do my best with new ideas and balance (those are my specialty) :thup:

 

[CungPowCow]

Updated to 0.236. The changelog has what's been done to the map. Hope you guys like it.

Sorry for the long wait guys, I've been on vacation from editing the map for some time, but I haven't given up on the project!

It may take quite some time before this becomes a polished map, but it'll get there eventually, I promise. :thup:

 

[SanKakU]

Cool.

This is just awesome!

I was wondering if you could do the old Visage instead?? Current one is terrible. >_<

terribly hard to code, i think you mean. actually the new visage, if given the proper allies, is a real force to be reckoned with. visage and ursa, or visage and destroyer, or visage and tauren chieftain...really good allies.

 

[HeX.16]

Nice work good to see your still working on this.

 

[CungPowCow]

Update time again! Sorry for taking so long (Lina's Fiery Soul was more difficult than I thought to trigger). Check the changelog for what's new.

Hope you all like it.

Well... I promises and here is, you can change color, letter, type, size and etc, be free :

DotA Allstars: Revival
​

An attempt to recreate the popular map, DotA Allstars.
Version: 0.237 (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.”


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 alot 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.

FAQ

Spoiler

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.

Helping Roles

1. Hero/Item Spell Makers (The main thing that needs work on).
2. Trigger Makers (Those who want to implement game mechanics into the map that aren't in yet).

[CungPowCow]

Quick update again. The three abilities that remained unmade in Stone Giant have been added. Credits to soulreaping for them.

Enjoy!

 

[CungPowCow]

Bump.

It's that special time again. Updated the map with four (4) different heroes completed. Not four abilities, but four full heroes. Enjoy

 

[SineCosine]

Hmm..
tl;dr.

But..
You're making this so map-makers can take a look at the triggers and learn? o.0

If that's the case, I'd like to help out where spells are concerned.
Just give me a task.

(I do Jass, though.. If you don't want Jass, then I won't be able to help xD)

 

[CungPowCow]

If you can make JASS triggers easy to read/understand like GUI triggers then that's okay.

Edit - This map is not for efficiency. If you want an efficient map people, then play the original map. If you want an easy-to-learn-from map, this is it.

Project Goal: Easiness > Efficiency.

 

[SineCosine]

It isn't efficient just because it's in Jass.
Maybe people wanna' learn how to code Jass spells XD

I'll comment most of the code, yea?
Wait-
I'll be using vJass, is that all right?

 

[CungPowCow]

Ah well, true.

Commenting the code would be very helpful. Thank you.

vJass is alright. Thanks alot.

Incase it would be of any help, I have a list of the heroes that don't have spells made.

 

[SineCosine]

I'll start with the easy heroes first XD
I'll do faerie dragon's spells.

Note that I'll only do spells.
I will not do the hero's stat growth, range, etc.

Only spells =x
Sorry xD

*Goes off to work*

[EDIT]
Ehh..
I just realized that I don't really know the tooltip text for Puck.
I'll just wing it, if I make mistakes, feel free to correct me.

[EDIT=2]
Ugh..
I also just realized I do not know which sounds are played for Puck's spells..

*Goes off to do research*

[EDIT=3]
Garr..
All that research stuff was tiring.
Anyways, I've got everything down to the minute detail.

Animation name, sound effect, tooltip, etc.

 

[CungPowCow]

Sorry I'm having you work so much on this project.

I usually use the Data Dump from DotA 6.67c using DotaHIT to figure out what to add. Example: tooltips, etc.

 

[SineCosine]

OMFG!
I didn't know such a thing existed!

Anyways, it's kinda' fun =x
I duno' what is fun about it..

I guess it's just that I know where this project is headed, all the stuff is handed to me on a silver platter, I just have to type.

Lol, it ain't hard work.
It's play-time!

[EDIT]
Garr..
I hate sound files -___-
I just spent the last 2hours trying to get a sound file for Puck's Illusory Orb to play.

[EDIT=2]
Ehh..
I just realized I can't find the effects that Waning Rift uses.
So, there won't be any effects for waning rift..

Until someone happens to have that info.

[EDIT=3]
Wait--
I think it's "Replenish"..
Anyways, I don't have Waning Rift's icon.

Anyone got a link to a Waning Rift icon download? o.0

[EDIT=4]
Ehh..
I don't know what sound plays whenever Puck casts waning rift.
I know there is a sound..
I just don't know what it is.

Anyone got any clues? >.>

 

[Nherwyziant]

Q1: If it has no difference on the original version, Isn't just kinda, a waste of time? You could just play the original.

Q2: Are you making your own heroes and systems if you have already copies all DotA stuffs?

Q3: Why are you making a revival of it even if the original is still being freshly update and is not dead.
