This is a project I have been working on a couple weeks. I have plenty planned for it and its actually exciting to work on (VS RPGs which tend to be not so exciting to work on for me).
I am mainly looking for feedback on the map. It is a competitive map with 2 sides attempting to destroy each...
I am working on a map similar to Castle Fight in alot of respects. I have it down to a working map, with 2 sides, full pathing, terrain and 1 race in game.
Now the problem I am having is I have off and on been working on a very irritating bug I have been having from the beginning. My gate...
There is a New free to play server up for UO. This server is styled after the 1998-1999 period with the more open PVP and its pre-Order/Chaos. Its a solid server with no lag and a growing playerbase.

So, I am trying to post in the Map Making suggestions forum on Bnet under this topic I have linked, and I cant post. All three of my CD keys say account doesnt exist. And I know it does, but oh well. :banghead:

I was thinking about the possibility of creating some function to create Text files or Dat files to save information. I have dug about all the JASS topics, forums and more.
Does it exist in some way, even hidden? Do we have any way to access this ability? WC3 does create files, such as save...
Ever have a nice hand made map with a large amount of trees. Ever notice that players and fleeing units can wander through these forest with little to no effort.
If you turn off Veiw>Doodads, and then Turn on Veiw>PathingGround you will see why this happens.
Now instead of adding a tree in...
Working on a system to allow retraining for the player heroes in my ORPG.
Now the issue is I want to set a cost. What should it cost the player?
A quest item.
A certain amount of exp, maybe even a level or two.
A large amount of gold.
A chunk of another very special resource that will...
Your mailbox was full so I couldnt PM, but here is your answer/explaination.
Edited out the other extra stuff... hope you dont mind I put it here.
Now the random issue. Well its due to Random Seeding. WC3 actually starts with the same number each time it loads for randomization. Which means...

Set SaveLoadChecksumChar = (String((Substring(SaveLoadPreEncryptionString, (Length of SaveLoadPreEncryptionString), (Length of SaveLoadPreEncryptionString)))) as Upper case)
For some reason this code always produces Null for the string even when the SaveLoadPreEncryptionString shows its full...
I am still working on that huge RPG map. I have many many creeps that are presently neutral hostile. A few of them have special talents, such as the ability to phase out of being hit, and move a short random distance away. They are less than 3% of the total population of creeps on map though...
I am back to working on the RPG pretty heavily after side projected for a couple days.
Now I want to make the player screen darker for just one player at anytime they enter a dungeon. This is to make it feel like the player is actually in a dungeon as opposed to these daylight lit outdoors...
I have recently been getting alot of PMs since my quest to build a better save/load engine.
So I think the best way to fix it all or I will spend forever typing back to PMs. Build a decent Save/Load Code tutorial.
Now, what features would people like to see in it? What do you want to save...
This stupid thing keeps failing for some reason. It starts working fine at 0 gold. but the moment you pick up a gold piece it will not give a 4 character result for the display. It keeps showing up as a 3 character display and dropping the last character.
Set SaveLoadConvertInteger =...
I finally have figured out how to compress the save / load code. BUT, I need to know whats the max numerical size of all the variables in WC3.
So if someone knows, are they the standard WORD sized variables?
Integer?
Real?
String?
Give me almost all the variable sizes if you can... I...
So I have come up against an issue.
I have a Save/Load system developed for my RPG. The issue though is for all feature sets its now sitting at 56 characters for a load code. Thats HUGE!
I could give the axe to alot of features, or I could limit the amount of stuff it will store. I am...
So I like setting up the Advanced>Random Groups with a series of nice randomly generated groups, BUT how would I take advantage of these nice little random list for a trigger?
I have yet to find anyway to access the Random Group list with a trigger.

Long ago there was a great battle between the forces of Light and Darkness. Even the old Gods themselves came down from the Heavens to fight alongside mortals in this epic battle. The final place of the clash happened near the ancient city...
When it comes to heroes levels and skills/abilities. Do you perfer to train them in RPGs like most normal maps with hero units. Or do you perfer to receive a book of spells that you dont train, it just exist ALA FF Tactics or Defiance ORPG?
My thoughts on both. Help me out with your opinion...
