I'll beta test your map, on condition that you'll test mine. I wait for your answer before I download your level.
 
Super,
I will beta yours but i wont be able to until friday
 
Level beta tested!

I want you to be as critical as possible, as I said in the topic about my level. I'll give you the right exemple now. ;)

-The level hasn't very variation. Most of it are woods. Perhaps you should make some gates which can only be opened with keys or with foot switches or levers, or more shops. Also, there should certainly be more transmissions.

-Also the terrain should be more variated. Not only should there be more types of terrain, but also more doodads (rocks, for exemple)

-The season of the level is clearly fall. (most of the terrain is mud) But it has summer trees. You can change this easily. (advanced -> replace doodads)

-In that town, there are a little bit much tomes.

-In that same town, the only tiles are bricks. In that age, cities and villages weren't that… Luxurous.

-The distance to the target of the camera should be a bit higher. Just high enough so that you can orientate sufficient enough.

-Most importantly: The quest. You have absolutely no idea what to do in the beginning of the level. Err, actually you only know what to do when you've completed the level.

-There's a large tree in the game. (Nordrassil, onviously) Where does that appear in the Lord of the Rings? I'm certainly no Lord-of-the-Rings-expert, but my friend knows a more about it. He doesn't recognize the tree at all. Oh well, there are certainly large trees in the Lord of the Rings, but not that large trees.

-Behind some gate in the level, there are empty cages. Why?

-Near the evil clone of Legolas, there are alot of destructibles. I won't recall seeing that much crates, explosives, barrels and support collumns in a forest.

-In the tooltip of the tome of speed, you've forgot to type a space. It looks kind of unprofessional.

-It's also very annoying that the camera rotates around the hero. I'd disable it. In Darky's level it's not annoying, because there's so much open space. King someone has the resurrection skill, which is totally useless. I won't delete that ability, but I'd make all heroes "raisable".
This can be edited in the death type, in the object editor.

-As my friend says, there are only 8 black foes. Why are all enemies black? Also, their color changes when they decay.

-The explosives in the forest are totally useless.

-There are torches somewhere in the level, arranged in the shape of a circle. I'd spread the torches more.

-Before the enemies have finally noticed you, you've killed them already, blown over.I'd increase the Target Notice Range. (Advanced -> Gameplay constants)

-Also, there are only 2 types of enemies. (only on certain places there are other enemies) And they don't even have abilities.

-You can kill the clone of Legolas before she even has the intention to defend here. You accidently made her a neutral passive unit.

-Finally, there should also be more items, besides tomes.

So that's a thorough beta testing eh WarcraftIIISkater? I hope your as attentive and criticizing as I was when testing my level.
 
Personally I think youre map is amazing!!
I love the terrain
THe envoirment is so detailed!!!
Theres only one bad thing. The beggining is hard as crap.

But overall that was amazing. How did you get the minimap to be black????

Well i am sort of a newb and that is Darg's 3rd person so ill tey 2 adjust it

:cool:
 
To enable the black mask (that's how the blackness on the map is called), go to scenario -> game options, and discheck "unexplored terrain is parially visible"

Oops, forgot about that one. The level indeed should have a black mask.

Thanks for beta testing. I'll decrease the enemy units or increase the gold coins in the level soon.
 
i have tested your map and it was well done, but i have to be honest, the camera was so irritating that i quit after 5 minutes. and why did u make all heroes 100 agility instead of juts not making the enemies so good? i think u should change the camera to normal and put the black mask on. u have missed one space in the tome of speed (as mind said) and one in the loading screen. i think u shild make the loaing screen look more "professional" too. sry if i was too harsh but to make a good map u have to be critical.
Good luck. :D
 
oh, and u should really do custom abilities, its kind of lame when almost all heroes have the paladins abilities.
 
Darg

Darg? Can you beta test my map?????
The others have critizized it very much and i appreciate it.
I just want to know what you think.They are complaining about the camera cutting through. How can i make your camera prospective to not do that????

THanks
 
i'll see if i can look at it sometime tonight

re the camera thing: I only gave you a very basic version of a 3rd person camera trigger. To do any better would involve triggering that is map-specific, which is why I can't post anything better in the free trigger code post.

Thus I will have a look at your map and see if I can come up with some map-specific ways of improving the camera.
 
As I said, the only reason why the camera is annoying is that so many trees or houses stand in your way. But there's a trigger action that makes trees that block units that stand behind it, transvisible. I don't remember in what category it was.

Click to expand...

? what action is that?

You might be referring to setting the occlusion on or off in the video settings.
 
Correct.

WCIIIskater, have you already edited your map since I tested it? Or are you only interested in opinions about your map?
 
Hmmmmmmmmm well my map is good for me considering its only my second map made by me. I am still trying to add new triggers to make it seem more intresting. I am also getting amazing opinions from a really good MApmake on www.forumsx.net and then go to warcraft 3 discussion then click the thread a map called MMORPG he is giing me opinions to. Im taking everyones opinion so i can maker the map really good.


Darg-SOme people say 1100.00 is to close to the hero. What do you reccomend?

Thanks to everyone :)
 
One last thing; Taurus or whatever his name is can't attack you, and can't be attacked by melee attackers. It would be much more exciting if he could actually be able to attack you, and it's kind of frustrating for the players who have a melee hero that they can't attack Taurus.
 
Make a way for people to reset the cam...... that was the thing that most pissed me off....

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best
     +1
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
