Ok ive been mapping for w while and im good at it, except i have no ideas what to do. I have like 20 different started maps which were never completed. So im asking you what map do you think is missing? It could be a TD, Hero Wars, whatever else. If you have a good idea what i should make, please post it here :cool:. Also making an AOS might also be a bad idea since DotA already exist. DotA "dominate" the AOS-Style maps. :)

I challenge you to make a good Racing Map, like the Azeroth Grand Prix.
If you can (don't take this seriously anyway)

Try making a Custom Melee Map (New races, AI, abilities...) or a TD even better than Blizzard's TD.

Make a map where you have to challenge like in Uthers Party, there is only 1 game like that, like who ever gets the most kills wins, etc.

Opions:
*TTW map
*AoS
*Tag
*Run Kitty Run type map (RKR)

go back to play some starcraft and get some idea from there. i see alot of great starcraft custom games that never appear on Wc3. like
1 Golemn
2 Unit/heroes defense(beside tower defense, why not create units defense like in SC. like 12 ways defense, you can choose your starter defensive units, as you kill more units, you get token to buy more whatever units you like)
3 Air Zone control
4 Bunker defense
5 capture the flag

i know there are more, but thats all i can think of so far. the biggest challenge is units balancing. thats the biggest pain for all map makers, especially arena games.

by the way, dont try to make Canada VS USA like SC, that game is endless. it takes forever. i tried that once long time ago. LOL

Yes, you're right, balancing 1 hero for my AoS takes a whole day and eventually I change it again as I add more heroes...

The SC idea sounds good!

Taking a few ideas and a real map:

Make a large town (Not too large, though), create some custom Heroes, chuck in some triggers, some more custom units, and make a Unit Town Defense.

Just a quick idea.

NOOOO SO MANY VERSIONS - Click ME. Just look how many pages start Run Kitty,Orc,Illidan,Mario,Kirby,Other sh!t Run. Way to many versions and then theres Slide Name Slide. All they do is steal the map change name and model of hero and they act like there supreme.

Back to the topic. Finish a map that is closest to completion.

I would say improve on other people's idea's or try to make more mistakes, as it tends to be that some of my best idea's were made by accident :shades: Like my most resent idea was having a lightning effect hitting randomly, then 1 added the ability for the lightning to detonate i.e removing mana if struck :eek::nuts: .Check out my map if you want for some rough idea's, Vampirism For The Pro's v0.3 just uploaded it today, although i still have this 1 problem with the server splitting.

Well thanks for every idea, but since this map is made for the clan, i asked them what they also wanted. And i didnt know almost everyone wanted hero arena. Well then it was just decided! Thanks alot everyone, i hope other people can use this thread to get ideas. :shades:

    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
