You should still seperate the stat bonuses from the description.

Ah, cool. I also like that the wood cost equals the total gold cost.

Im not sure if you have enuff room, but you should seperate the bonuses like so

+10 agil
+14 str
+14 int
+0.75 mana regen
+9999 damage
100% chance for instant victory upon attacking

like that

It also makes my favorite newbie tease more believable:

Newbie: How do I get wood?

Me: Well, you have to cut it from trees

Newbie: How do I cut the wood from the trees

Me: First you have to buy an axe, then, you go to the trees by that enemy gold mine and harvest them with the axe and bring them back to base.

Newbie: Ok

Newbie: I couldn't harvest the trees and the tower killed me

Me: You got the wrong type of axe, orcish axe doesn't work on trees, you need the heft axe

<Newbie checks out item recipes again>

<Newbie has left the game>

edit: Not enough room cres, I wish I could do it like that but text cuts off after so many lines.

for most of the items you can do that i think, the ones like worldslayer and averious the life stealer might be weird

Yeah, Worldslayer would have issues with that. It has a lot of effects.

I thought that was a photoshop, I'm working on them now to see what I can get in a line. For stuff like worldslayer I may just drop off the description completely. Don't know, will see how it turns out.

+10 agil
+14 str
+14 int
+0.75 mana regen
+9999 damage

No Dota items!

Well, a divine rapier by itself is usually more damage than a hero with items usually ever does max (CoD heroes tend to see a lot less attributes per level), Jugg becomes good when you start landing the procs and the crushing blow is a good counter to high strength and armor heroes.

But as far as total effects go, WorldSlayer has 12 effects:
+250 hp
+70 damage
Immolation
Incineration
IceScythe Slow
BoltStab Life Damage
Frost Armor
Lightning Shield
Forked Lightning
Breath of Fire
Breath of Frost
WorldSlay

Ok, I've redone every item in the game to be streamlined to a better info-presenting system, as appears below.

Actual items appear the same, except don't have the "requires" section.

Shrank the models down as far as they would comfortably go, removed the .wavs, replaced with MP3s.

Map size from full version is down to 2616kb, down from 3390kb for the previous full version, so I managed to recover the greater part of a megabyte, not bad at all.

Most of the sounds are globalized to their locations, with the exception of a few I still want global for warning purposes (these are going to be Tel'Arin's laugh, music intro of the 4 horsemen).

Hero selection is different now. All the question marks have been removed, and instead you start in "information mode", which causes any click on a hero to display hero information. When you are ready to choose a hero, there is a exclamation mark, when clicked, puts you into "choose mode". The next hero you click will be your choice. To go back into information mode, click the question mark.

Hints are activated via -hint. There are now a random 23 of these.
Commands are displayed via -commands
-clear / -clearall is enabled for removing text
-jukebox play [A..Z or 0..4 or *] plays a track from the internal jukebox
-secretshop pings the location of your side's secret shop

and a bunch of balance stuff

I'm currently waiting on Vexorian, as there is an issue encountered using both Widgetizer and WCMapOpt with this map. Hoping for a quick resolution.

Well, looks like widgetizing it's going to have to wait. New file can be found on the site - dasud.proboards7.com

Anyone up to a game? Is anyone even on?
