End of Year Spell Contest - Flashy Summoning

[Frosthowl]

Can we make some assumptions? Such as that you wont cast our spell right on the edge of the map, ect?

 

[Galdiuz]

- Your map must be fully usable with the default TFT editor, latest patch, running NewGen 1.5a or later

This means i cannot use any WEU functions?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Correct. You shouldn't be using WEU anyways.

 

[AceHart]

I don't plan on testing under extreme conditions, unless that would help with deciding between first and second place. Somewhat unlikely.


If I can't open your map... well, next.
I will open it, have a look, save it and run it. If it crashes and burns... so will your grades.

 

[Galdiuz]

Then i'll create it with the normal WE

 

[Nerfpl]

what about UMSWE? overall Newgen,if im not wrong, UMSWE add few GUI which are normally not avalible

 

[Renendaru]

NewGen can use UMSWE functions.


And, I guess I'll join.

 

[emjlr3]

if I dont have UMSWE selected(which I never do) - your map wont open, and will then proceed to enter my recycle bin

Maybe you should put that into the first post?
It does say:

Your map must be fully usable with the default TFT editor, latest patch, running NewGen 1.5a or later

And a map using UMSWE features would be openable by NewGen 1.5a and later.

 

[Draphoelix]

Should every spell be posted on that thread Emijl3r opened? And is that for finished spell or you can edit there too?

> What do I do when I'm done?

Post your map here. But only when your done. Don't post there otherwise!

That says "only when you're done" to me if anything.

It also says

- Work in progress (WIP) posts are welcome, and encouraged

 

[Larcenist]

Contradicting post is contradicting...

 

[Galdiuz]

You wanted work in progress, so heres a pic from me. Not very flashy though...

 

[Draphoelix]

Are you allowed to use JASS lines in GUI? Like SetUnitY and SetUnitX in a GUI trigger?

@Galdiuz: I'll stick to snowy theme, it's CHRISTMAS!

 

[Galdiuz]

Hm... maybe i should change the tileset to Lordearon Winter? xD

 

[Akolyt0r]

pretty sure, YES

 

[PureOwnage]

Damn, no imports!
No more summoning evil santa clause.

 

[PureOwnage]

Is there any 2nd, 3rd, etc.. prizes?

 

[Nerfpl]

Ok since this thread is more for Q&A i have 4:
What means flashy (looking at map above)? you mean like whoa flying light effects etc?
About what theme you speak actually? chrismas snow and santa(lol)?
How long should whole "animation" take?
Also we submit maps like that? i mean everyone can look at them etc, so it best to submit near end? ;p
