Just Curious

[MasterOfABCs]

[FONT =Arial]xxx[/FONT] I stumbled upon this forum about 15 minutes ago and found it quite interesting so.I'm jut wondering i've read most of this thread and what i took from it was this; all of you make War Craft III & Frozen Throne custom games/maps correct? becuse i've played for a long time and never once seen your names on a credit list in a loading screen. Like i said im just wondering/confirming

well i only have one map done so far, Ice TD, its in the hosted maps thread, check it out.

Some of the best mapmakers' maps in the world aren't hosted at all.

The mapping community and gaming community are too seperate communities; there is also a medicore, copy-cat, in-between community of mapmakers, who usually just change some strings and models around (common examples are DotA and LoaP). Thus, there is some difficulty in passing the maps from the mapmaker echelon down to the gaming community.

\/\/e usually make maps more for <our> own benefit, or for a communal benefit, as most maps here don't get far enough along to be regularly hosted at Bnet. For instance, Ryoko TD, made by SD_Ryoko here, is one of the best TD's I've played, and yet ----- many cheap, laughable, formatable TD's are called 'good maps' and hosted way past what they deserve, while I have seen Ryoko_TD hosted maybe 5-10 times on US_West. I haven't seen any of the 'Return of the Dragon', 'Shipwrecked', 'Day of the Fish', etc. projects hosted on wc3sear.ch on Bnet, and yet that is all they can talk about over there --->.

What a strange world we live in

Shadowy's got a good point.

As for my accomplisments, I've started about 5 projects, ROFL! And only finished one, which I just released today, Vampire Slayer. It's a prelude to a bigger map I'm working on, while contributing here

(DL Vampire Slayer here, if you're interested in it. The Hero I made for this map, Alexander appears in it )

Thread split from the TLS signup thread. Let's stay on topic guys.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

All anyone plays is the crappiest of TD's, and Dota allstars.

So hey. We don't kick out crappy TD's, and we didn't make allstars.

On a side note, the creator of Battleships is a mod on wc3campaigns.

 

[Shadowy Fear]

Battleships? THAT is a good, unique game For the longest time, it was hosted almost 2/3 as much as DotA, which is very good. However, a bunch of crappy, mixed up, and hacked versions came out after it :/. Now, it's hard to tell which was the original map and who the original creator was (sked, right?).

Some other games that flared briefly were Parasite Ex and Dark Deeds, Dixel/Blixel's TD (s), and Footmen Wars (z?).

 

[DM Cross]

I liked Dark Deeds... Always a lot of fun, I played quite a few variations (not rigged maps, just different themes to the basic idea).

Footman Wars was... Interesting I played one with Necromancers once, which was pretty cool.

 

[Ralle_Janis]

Footman Frenzy is a very nice game, i play it alot

But the reason u dont see the names migth also be becouse u play on another realm than these guy

 

[Hube 4 real]

Parasite Ex is the best map !!! ever!! though its based on "who is the alien".... that map just don't cut it to be a good bnet map.

Parasite Ex for the win and stuff..... good hunting!

 

[lol]

ya

it think parasite ex was a good one my fav. footman friends is the on wear u can say G.O.d give me gold but no one hosts it anymore!

 

[lol]

omg

it really sucks that no one hosts it any more :banghead:

 

[mixmax2]

.. most of the greatest maps are kicked out of the way by crappy dota, thats why u dont see anyone's names on any "loading screens"

 

[WastedSavior]

You like parasite? I think Zerg infestation is awesome, Its same genre just finding otu whos the zerg with alot of cool custom crap XD

 

[mixmax2]

The changeling was a pretty interesting map, one player gets selected to be a mutating alien who must kill the others b4 they kill him, he can literally change into almost anything and the best part is, his default form looks like the rest of the players

 

[kuruza888]

i also love footie frenzy. also, what's dota?
