Ice and Blood

[emjlr3]

Updates:

*Beacons system has been completed, and a few beacons have been added to the map
*The alternative hero revival system has been implemented
*Neutral creeps and their drops have been added in, nothing special for the time being, as far as drops go
*Terrain has been completed by Acehart, and looks fantastic!
*All 5 alpha heroes are complete

A few things I may do before an alpha release:

*Basic uber items, though I am still unsure as to the system
*Basic quests

Expect a release within the next week or so

> Terrain has been completed



Though there are still a couple corners that are clearly sub-optimal, I'm fairly confident it takes a 2-P to see it.
In game no one's going to notice anyway.


> All 5 alpha heroes are complete

The one to the right I used for testing wasn't very complete last I seen him...

Well.
You know that we expect no less than great, don't you?

Are you interested in a ladder system?

Ladder or not, I have huge expectations on this map too. The good AoS maps are rare and AoS is pretty much the only game type I really enjoy.

> what is this ladder system?

At some point, back a couple months, friend phyrex was showing some almost done site where you
could download some home-grown virus to crack maps and, um..., "send them somewhere to do something"...
Fortunately, that thing never took off.
Most likely because of some obvious lack of information, as he's the very only one to ever get it...

 

[phyrex1an]

[Off topic, continued]
The virus part is supposed to be secret you know.

I tried to explain it better in the link in my signature, there was actually a few people that did understand me this time

A (very) short explanation by example: http://www.dota-league.com/ without the need for "save codes" or "validation". Dota league have way more options, but has the obvious disadvantage that it is for dota only. My thing works for every map that wants to use it. The options might be added at a later stage.

alpha testing is now available, check the first post for a download link

I did not include any uber items or basic quests for this release

make sure to check quests for additional information

thoughts? comments? critiques? bugs? praise?

have fun !

 

[waaaks!]

ill try this...

OFFTOPIC:
whats the difference between beta test and alpha test?

 

[AceHart]

> whats the difference between beta test and alpha test?

Alpha:
Early stages of development.
Half the stuff is still missing or not working yet.
You can guess where it will go some day...

Beta:
It's nearly ready.
Some final testing and bug fixing and the project is ready for release.

Great map.
Alot of spalling mistakes in the tooltips, but great .

I wasn't allowed to choose any heroes when I was on the good side,
but, I just thought "alpha", and restarted on the evil side.

The blood hero's 2nd spell from the left (can't remember name) did not work for me. Again, I just thought "alpha".

5/5.

 

[waaaks!]

lol i cant pick heroes....

I wasn't allowed to choose any heroes when I was on the good side,

darn! i though theres no heroes, thats why i didnt continue to play the map, sorry!

 

[emjlr3]

can't pick heroes? that is very strange indeed, you sure you did not just whhooosshh the screen away from the pick area, and not notice?

I always play as Player 1 and do not have that problem

plz mention the spelling mistakes, i try to avoid them

and if your talking about blood line not working...well...if there are not allied heroes in the map, how can you increase your speed dependant upon their missing health?

 

[waaaks!]

yeah i didn't moved the camera, and if i moved it, ill trail back to where the camera was...but there are no taverns and heroes i find in the map when i played player 1

 

[emjlr3]

ok then, the problem exists online....

this is uber duper strange......

no idea why this is happening

**EDIT

the wrinkle has been ironed

had a divide by zero in my map init function, that for some reason Grim. only caught online, not offline
also fixed another divide by zero found when testing online

in anycase, new version uploaded, and its tested working

**EDIT 2
another version uploaded, fixed the revive in the wrong base bug, so hopefully you can actually play a full game

 

[Tinki3]

> if there are not allied heroes in the map, how can you increase your speed dependant upon their ...

By "memory", the ability said it had a target point, but it was an instant-cast.
Maybe it was just a tooltip-error, or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me...

You are most likely right anyway.

Glad it has been fixed

 

[waaaks!]

had a divide by zero in my map init function

i also got this error when i used new gen to test maps...
that doesnt mean i opened ur map and tested it...what i did is open my map...test it in newgen...quit my map in wc3, and played ur map in wc3...but still using newgen...thats why i get some errors

bump, i played and successfully chosen a hero in the good side, i choosed the troll berserker....i think the snare spell doesnt work, because i tried to put it in the ground, but when an enemy steps at it, it didint snared the enemy units

 

[emjlr3]

forget to read that tooltip too?

it only triggers when "heroes" walk on it, however it snares all enemies in the area
did you like the hero?

I played two very succesful games with Fulla, with no reports bugs, other then a hotkey conflict I found

 

[waaaks!]

yeah i like the hero with the stats system

 

[emjlr3]

they all have the sats system, or did you fail to read the "quests" as well?

 

[emjlr3]

bump!!! someone play this
