I finally realized what linamus was trying to do.

He's saying that there's a lot of mapmakers trying to brag about their map and saying it will be out. However, there was no releases. This will be over and out at Summer 2008?

According to research, 1 custom model is equal to around 185 Kilobytes of data when imported into a w3x map. (From the hinted custom model of Mario Paintball v1.0)

120+ would be close to 22200 Kilobytes of data (22.1 Megabytes), which is like Dota map sizes. (No Dota here!)

I suggest it's impossible. Unless you always uses the in-game models. Wouldn't that be ironic?

I doubt he has the intention of using custom models for everything, but it's not like there's no way to reduce the filesize of models and maps quite a bit; it just takes some time, and I'm sure it will be fine. And your syntax sucks.

Co0ments? :( All feedback is appreciated.
How can we comment on a map we cant play yet, with no new idea, just another footmen wars. If its really balanced, then it sounds like it will be cool, but sadly, I have a hard time beleaving it will be....

Alot of haters in this thread :nuts:

Obviously all the heroes wont be custom models. That would be absurd. Almost every custom hero has custom spell models and icon models, which is completely manageable with file space. If you guys are extremely eager for a demo map, I begin preparations for one.

I have seen and used the map and I have to say its a really awesome map. While you may be ignorant of what it is and want I_RULE_YOU to fail so he wont steal your thunder, I have to say that this map will probably be the best footmen map ever made :thup:
PS: for you people who think this map is hopeless, show me a map that YOU made. CWF is an awesome map

This is a puppet account of the original poster. Agree/disagree everybody?

I am not him. Go to w3 sometime and come to channel clan hawk. I am in his clan and saw the map and thought it was really awesome and when I saw your posts I thought that was a bit premature of you to assume that it will fail.

Technically I don't think it will fail. It will just never be released because sooner or later he'll lose patience with designing "120+ unique heroes" and just give up. And giving up=/= failing. Although if he ever does release it a lot of the heroes will be similar, because it's impossible to design 120+ heroes and have them all be unique. Unless by unique you mean spam burn spells with different lightning/projectile effects.

Been a long time since I last checked this, released a much newer, far more detailed update. Check for that instead if you are interested.

    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
