Beta Testing - Ryoko TD 2.0

[SD_Ryoko]

Here is a beta version of my latest release, for your testing pleasures.

I wish all and any to test my map

Theres a lot in this map, and I probobly can't find it all

Please comment on anything and EVERYTHING you can think of. The games, towers, appearance, creeps, difficulty of levels and features.

Don't give up on the first try! Like any map you're new too, this involves learning.

(This map has no triggers)

test it on b-net or singelplayer?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Singale man

I'll test your map, and be more criticizing towards it then you could ever imagine.
However, in return, you must test my map as well. Ok?

Uh, I tested your map, and found only one bug:
Whenever I select map, the game crashes.

So I tried to beta test it by opening it with the World Editor and using the test feature.

Unfortunatly, the Standard World Editor is unadequate to comprehend the advanced trigger codes of the World Editor Unlimited.

So the only thing I can criticize is the terrain.

The terrain should be more variated, in my opinion. At some places, there is nothing but dirt and dust. At other places, there's nothing but green grass. And at other places, there's nothing but green Ashenvale Canopy Trees and barren soil.

Also, the terrain is completely flat. Perhaps you should use the "apply height" feature more often?

Personally, I ultimately hate the "Fire Blue" doodad, since it's so unrealistic. I recommend to delete those doodads from your map.

The form of the islands where the minigames are played are suspiciously squarely. It looks rather unnatural.

On one of the islands, there are an incredible amount of Ashenvale Canopy trees. Not only does it look rather ugly, but it also makes the size of the file much larger unnecessarily. They also stand in a perfect square, which looks rather unnaturally.

The place where the car race takes place, which is unnaturally adjectant to the place where you must fight the aliens in order to earn money, contains a lot of solid stone spires.
The unrealistic thing about that, is that trees grow on them.

Finally, the level should, in my humble opinion, contain a lot more doodads and decoration.
The center is very detailed and skillfully decorated with a wide variety of doodads. The islands, at the other hand, are less detailed.

I'm pretty sure the gameplay is excellent. Pity I couldn't enjoy it.

it happens same to me

 

[Mind]

Then it must have something to do with the imported models which you placed on the ground. I can see them when I open the map with the world editor, but they do not appear when I play it. Instead, large, bright green boxes appear.

I had problems with imported models and icons too. However, the models and icon did not even appear in the world editor in my case.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Thats very odd. It runs fine all the time for me. I can't get it to crash. And I see the images.

Can I ask if your all on the latest battlenet patch?

Exactly what/when makes it crash now?

Thanks

 

[Mind]

The latest patch, if you're referring to the 1.17 version, is a beta. I'm not going to download it.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I didn't mean anything that wasn't solid. Just the patches you get from the standard East Azeroth.

You know what? I have had the heavylocker corrupt a map before. It would lock up when you launched it. I will redo it later tonight and test it.

I HAD A QUICK look at it !

first think id like to say is if u arent a noob this map isnt so hard
(in first try i went to lvl 29 out of 30)

then id like to say that races are very balanced (i tried fire, earth and death)

I like this map

 

[SD_Ryoko]

LOL well, lets say I havn't rebalanced any of three creeps since the design change.

So what else? Any detailed comments? How did you maze... do you upgrade, or make 1000 small ones? Did they attack you? Did the lottery work? You win?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Well, I took the advice to heart and leveled two of the minigames. Then I used raise terrain to bring them back up.

Strange phenominom now.. When a unit is walking on the raised terrain, its shows the 'water walking' graphics at the units feet. odd, the terrain is higher than the water. Yet it acts like its walking in shallow water ;(

 

[vito]

no i havent win in lvl 29 i did mistake and blokt them. And then...
You now what

what maze have i used? hm let me think i build a spirale ner a checkpoit so creeps had to walk in spirale to get to checkpoit and then back. No one leakt to me(only 2 air ones)

Have i used basic towers? i build many of them(for mazing but i build all typ of tower (hm... not the last one)

detail good minigame (only race ones are hard)
i will be testin Your map agen tomorrow

About the lottery i havent try it when i saw to late i will try i tomorow

 

[Death Knight]

[Darg]

perhaps the units have an aura that damages buildings?

Damn pc crashed and I almost lost my Warcraft files (make backups!!)

nice to see someone is listening

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I think some of the frost, bash, or poision abilities are causing the creeps to lose orders.

There was a couple levels where they hauled off and attacked me too.

Seems like, you can only maze so long before the pathing craps out.

I'll investigate further.
