The Forsaken Melee League is starting up a map making competition so get your World Editor ready and start making a map! The winner of the competition will have his/her map used in FML Matches and events!

You are eligiable to create a melee map specifically for:
Solo FFA events
2v2v2v2 Events
Battlefield Events (12 player FFA map).

What we will be looking for in the maps:

Positioning: Do some players have an advantage at their starting spot over others? Is one spot closer to gold mines or creeps than others? Is there more gold or wood near a certain players position?

Balance: Does your map favor a certain race? Is there a good balance between green creeps and orange creeps? Is there enough lumber for orc/undead? Is there enough room for night elf?

Level Design: Is the map well made? Is the idea of the map original and initiative? Is it fun to play on?

Terraining: Do you make good use of your tileset with doodads? Is your map flat or does it have texture? Did you use your terrain palette well?

Creeps: Do the creeps drop items according to their creep level? (ie: no green creeps dropping infernal stones). Are the creeps in a spot that wont attack your units when you walk by the camp? Do the creeps match the tileset?

Rules:
1) Map must be started from scratch!
2) Map must be of YOUR OWN creation, if the map is found to be taken from anouther source your automatically disqualified.
3) Map must be a melee map, no triggers!
4) Have fun!

Map must be sent in to [email protected] by June 18th!

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
