>> A MINIMUM of at least one spell made MUST be specifically for this Contest ONLY
That means if i make 1 spell then other 3 spell is made by someone else...i will be qualified too?

And in the other word...i could use Any spell i made from the past?

>>Their spells will be put into my WIP map Dragon Wars
Which means you held this contest for collecting spells for ur ownmap?

>>Are the icons imaginative and thoughtful?
What do you meant by imaginative and thoughful??

>>Are the icons a custom icons?
what if i get some custom icon from Hiveworkshop or Wc3campaigns which is made by someone else?

>>Custom models ARE NOT ALLOWED.
>>BONUS: Does the spell use custom models or effects? (2 points)

What should i do? use custom model Or Not??

>>Is the increase in power between each level balanced?
Ow...arent the increase power can be modify easily?

You lay out is like so...Name – Special Name; Model Type: Spell types (number of people making spells for hero)
i will take an example:
Code:
Malygos - The Spell Weaver; Blue Dragon: Manipulation spells (0)
The name is Malygos...Its model type is "SpellWeaver" ?!
Spell type is "Manipulation Spell" ?!
What is a manipulation spells?

I dont understand most of the spell type...can please make a short brief of each spell type??

It sounds more like request than like contest :D

MUCH like a request...
"Join Date: Jan 2007"
"Rep: 25+"
No one who's making a contest has stayed here for less than a year.

"Each of the winners will receive the following prizes:
B. Their spells will be put into my WIP map Dragon Wars, and have their names added to the credits of the map"
Yep. It's a request.

And to make it even worse, he stole the avatar! :eek:

Way to tear this apart on me guys...thanks....

>That means if i make 1 spell then other 3 spell is made by someone else...i will be qualified too?
This means you can take other spells you have made and use it for this contest as long as you make a new one specifically for here.

>Which means you held this contest for collecting spells for ur own map?
Let me put it in a less harsh way of saying it....
I suck at spells, I will not doubt that. And I have always loved most of the spells that you guys come out with. So I wanted to make this Contest in order to see what you guys would come up with where my imagination failed.
I mean I could have simply just not put that I was going to use the spells in my map and just completely fooled you. Isn't it better I was at least hoenst with you :\

>What do you meant by imaginative and thoughtful??
I mean is it some random icon you just put in (bad grade) or did you actually but some thought into how the icon should look for the spell?

>what if i get some custom icon from Hiveworkshop or Wc3campaigns which is made by someone else?
That's fine, you can use it :D The icons do not have to be by you

>What should i do? use custom model Or Not??
What I meant was that custom models were not allowed for the hero. I only did that because I didn't really want you wasting your time going around finding a fancy model for this hero, then complaining how you didn't have time to get your other stuff done (I have had some people do that in a contest or 2 i have been in)

>Ow...arent the increase power can be modify easily?
What? Didn't really understand that

>The name is Malygos...Its model type is "SpellWeaver" ?!
Spell type is "Manipulation Spell" ?!
What is a manipulation spells?

No, lol
Name - Malygos
Special Name (Level 1 _____) - Spellweaver
Model - BLUE DRAGON

>I dont understand most of the spell type...can please make a short brief of each spell type??
If you want I will update the first post with that.

>I'll join, if I can make my own dragon?
I would prefer you adhere to the guidelines. The main basis here is to see what you guys can create with such a limited amount of choice :D

>i think ''Manipulation Spell'' sounds like the caster can take control of creeps like in World of Warcraft: Hunter's Train Pet or somthing like that..
I was thinking more along the lines of lets say confusing the enemy.
For example lets say he has a spell that like makes all enemy units near ___ range temporarily miss every shot, or have their armor decreased to zero, or even have their hp/mana cut in half.

>You're not seriously expecting people to finish your map for you?
NO. If this was here for people to finish my map, I wouldnt have made this a contest.
I made this becaause I needed help with something and I wanted the TH community to help me.
yet I also wanted to make it fun, and from my time in the forum...CONTESTS ARE FUN. :D
That's technically why I made this.

>Those (some of em) dragon names are from Darky's campaign.
Because they are official dragon names from Warcraft lore :D
(check WoWWiki if you don't believe me :p)
 

2-P

I will work hard tomorrow

That would have been resource stealing and you would have a lot more problems then a few complains about your contest.

And what's up with this color overload? o_0

Ok, there my first question : how much spell are we suposed to grant to all dragon ?
Next one : how are we suposed to make our hero diffirant from other dragon of the same race ? For the skin u talked about, are u gonna give us skin u dl, make or something, or we will use some bad looking normal dragon model ?

Oh well, i think u should think alot before doing CONTEST to finish ur map (even if some people, such as I, got so time to waste that they would participate anyway) to all the details, men, i would already start it :D if u was a bit more specific.:shades:

So there, i have began, i have a choose Neltharion. Hope u will like my idea... they are badly sick :D .

I agree. I never thought that people at TH could be so rude.

I mean in all honesty, do I go to your threads and complain to you or so cruel things? Not that I can recall

And if I have, I'm sorry

But w/e lets just do this thing!

>i have began, i have a choose Neltharion

  • Varine Varine:
    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
