Hero Contest 1#
Approved by: Daxtreme [Link]
In this contest, you must make a hero that goes together well, and is fun to use.
EXAMPLE: Archmage. All icons and spells have a blue theme. He has an aura which increases mana regeneration, and abilities that cost a lot of mana, and pretty low cooldown. His aura goes well with his other abilities because of that. He can use water elementals to take damage while he casts blizzard, or fires from a range. He's INT which also goes well with low cooldown and high mana cost spells.His attack, and all of his spells, are range, and, being a spell caster, this is good. You can also summon a water elemental and mass TP to it with his ult.. Generally, everything fits together well to make a fun hero.


Prize:
  • The winner of this contest gets reputation points from: DAskunk (Worth +2),Romek (Worth +3), undeadorcjerk(Worth 4), [Total 9]and whomever else wants to.

Rules:
  • Must be a balanced hero, like one you could add to a melee map.
  • You can use JASS and/or GUI, or no triggers, and ALL of your spell coding must be written by you, besides Systems in the map, which are not related to the hero.
  • The hero you enter must be new and made specially for this contest.
  • Imported models, icons, and skins are allowed.
  • Your hero must have 4 spells. They don’t need to be triggered if you don’t want.
  • Do not submit protected maps.
  • Make the hero easy to test.
  • GUI will not receive points over JASS, nor will the other way around. How well made the GUI\JASS is, does matter, though.
  • Do not directly ask how to make a spell on the forums. You're allowed to ask "how do I do this", but not "can someone make this spell for me".
    Systems allowed:
    • CSCache
    • Local Handle Variables
    • ABC
    • PUI
Thread Rules:
  • No bashing.
  • Off-site links are okay.
  • No spam.
  • Give helpful feedback, not mindless praise or bashing..
  • YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP TO SUBMIT A HERO.
  • AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR HERO, YOU MAY EDIT IT.
  • IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO SIGN UP. ( Until its ended anyways.)
Judgeing:

Winners will be dicided by the public...Details below.

  1. People submit their heroes.
  2. People on the forum playtest the maps for the heroes.
  3. Anybody and everybody can vote publicly by posting in the poll thread. Every voter can give 2 points; they can give 1 point to each of their two favorites, or they can give 2 points to just one submission. Perhaps they only want to give out 1 point.
  4. People's votes only count if they give a valid, acceptable reason for doing so. E.G: "I liked hero X for A, B, and C. It did have a flaw due to D, but overall it was the best hero of the bunch."
  5. After some time, the public voting is closed.
  6. Votes are counted manually by someone (a moderator or the contest runner) and then shown.
  7. Either the top 4 contestants or all of them are then reviewed by 1 or 2 judges and given an X/100 score for their coding.
  8. Points given in votes and the judging score are then combined in some way to yield a total score that determines the "winner".
Deadline:
  • Contest will start in a week and last 3 weeks, unless people ask it to change.
CONTEST WILL END ON MARCH 9th!

you should also mention that the archmage's mass teleport works in tandem with summoning his water elementals... he can summon one and send it somewhere else and later Mass Tele to it

You can make any kind of hero you want. Archmage was a example of a good hero.

Sure, as long as you dont use someone elses code\triggers.

Yeah I suppose, most common use is with critter though...

You can still do archmage.

No more than four and no less. You can make him summon a unit that can casts spells, or make him transeform into somthing with differnt abilities, or have a spellbook ability though.

When its done attach it in a post, or link to DL on Epic war...

Those are just attachment Systems :p
Just forbid the Caster System, because you can make incredible spells from it with just a few lines :nuts::nuts:
anyways, If this gets approved, I'll definatly join.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

  • Varine Varine:
    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.
