May I start a contest a WE Help Zone ?

Just asking, do I need to do something before, since I got scared by Ace's post that says:

If someone who's never shown any working map comes with a "contest" to get the perfect JASS implementation of some spell,
the thread will be closed, burned, and he'll end up with half the rep he had before.
Click to expand...
:D.

That's probably scary. :D:D

What does the meaning of "never shown any working map" ?
Never submit something?

means that he's new and he doesn't know if he have any skills so i guess u know enough Jass (even though im not sure if u can do the coding part) to make a contest but if u realy want to be approved just send a pm to one of the moderators

... Acehart... Is an Administrator here, Doom. He knows more than enough about WE mapping. Trust me.

What Ace meant was that if you've never shown that you're a fairly decent mapper, you should not be starting JASS contests. Why? Because... Well... Who the hell are you to judge one? :)

So long as you've shown you know [vaguely, at least] what you're doing in WE, start a contest. If we don't approve, it won't stay open :)

He means the 'someone' in Ace's quote.

That is why I don't post at 3 in the morning...except now :p

The correct wording, then, would have been "if someone", not "someone".

And as a matter of fact, Mr. Wiseass, I just woke up :p

I actually have posted two SpellPacks.
I may not be a decent mapper, but at least I'm a decent spellmaker. >_>

Of course I can do the coding part. :D I just need the last part of Knowledge; structs... Which I will not let in my contest. :mad:

BTW, I still don't get it. We must PM a mod?

And as a matter of fact, I think I smell some excuses here..

>Which I will not let in my contest.
Then noone will be able to get full points, as handle vars leak a gamecache :p.. (it was mostly a joke, but it really isn't a joke..)

How could someone prove his skills then, making an example or?.. I could have posted my abilities there, but I never did and now when I changed my OS, everything is lost, tooootally lost.. :p

EDIT://Lol, first wrote "as a matter of face".. :p

ROFL....

Handle Vars doesn't leak, change the LocalVars() to use a Global initialized at the beginning.

... You don't need to PM anyone. Make the contest and if there's no problem, there won't be a problem. If there's a problem, there won't be a problem because the contest will be closed soon enough ^.^

Just post it. You'll see what I mean from there.

Yes, think of it as if the contests forum never existed.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
