Things are going really well, sorry for the total lack of updates. Working a lot and getting ready for a new college in fall, been taking up all my time.

There's great news for the map too. My old crew and I hung out the other day and playtested the CRAP out of this map with about 8 people total. It was absolutely incredible. So there's a ton of little tweaks going on, and a nice list of improvements getting settled in.

There is a few glitches though, that I can't seem to sort out. A big one is one of the Heroes gets 'stuck'. It won't take commands or anything. But if you kill him, when he comes back he's fine. Can't figure out what it is.

Anyway, more information later! Gotta get some more work done on it. ;-)

Oh, and I want to leave the name the same. I know it's kinda bleh at first, but it grows on you. I can't imagine calling it anything else now. ;-)

My buddies are veteran Warcraft 3 players, and they've played a ton of mods. They loved the map. And three of the testers were brand-new to Warcraft 3 (had to install it at the party, lol) and they're hooked on WC3 now.

So yeah, I'd say it's pretty solid. :)

Pardon the bump... haven't been on in a while, and I decided to search this thread back up since I wanted to see how it was going. :)

The map is sounding great! I'd love for you to send me a pm for testing (that is, if you will do testing) when you're ready. And remember, I have nothing better to do with my time, so I'd love to help whenever I can.

It's still under construction! I just haven't had any time to work, lately.

I'm moving in 10 days, though. Once i'm settled in, I should have a lot more time to work on projects.

I'm glad to hear there's still interest in this!

I'll make sure to keep you guys posted. :thup:

Just an update to those who are awaiting this map. I'm sorry it's taking so long to complete! But believe me, it'll be well worth the wait.

Almost all of the Heroes are complete. Just a handful of abilities left to finish scripting. A few more structures need to be completed for the Dungeon Master too, but it's making great progress.

NEW FEATURE: Deities.
Probably the first Warcraft3 map to feature this. (Correct me if i'm wrong, though) Once a Hero reaches level 3, he or she may choose a Deity to follow. Currently there are four deities, each one has a different method for appeasing them. (Killing enemies, casting spells, etc)

Piety is how much your god favours you. It's increased by appeasing them. When you've collected enough Piety, you can request favors from your God at the cost of that piety. Your God may even choose to help you out of certain situations if you have a high enough piety.


Well, I have a few weeks off from classes right now, so i'm spending a ton of time on this project, hoping to finish it up. I'll keep you guys posted.

Cool, the deities sound awesome but hopefully not imbalanced ^^
Still a map I'm looking out for! :D

So far, no balance issues! I'm making sure to carefully test and balance as much as possible before the release.

I've had to pull a few conceptual features already, just to ensure things don't get too imbalanced. And some of 'em were glitchy, lol. I want this to be as perfect as possible on release.

    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
