I am sorry to announce that I will be leaving TheHelper.net. Though most of you probably don't know me, those that do probably don't care for me that much anyways. I have been here since March 8th of this year, and have amassed more rep then some people who have been here for a year more than me. Currently I'm on page 5 of rep list, the same page as people such as Steel, Knight7770, and baka-ranger. I have tried to be a good forum member, and have kept an average of over 5 posts per day, and going here almost everyday.

Now on to the map!

This map, which I have entitled "Mech Wars" uses an arrow movement system. To attack you either press the attack ability or use the hotkey f. I've created e this map by myself, using a few tutorials to help me on the way.

Since I don't really have the time right now to explain everything right now here's the map fully un-protected, ready to be taken apart, and edited. You can take credit all you want, I won't be mapping anytime soon. Most of the heroes don't have 4 abilities, but if you want to see some near-completed heroes, use the hero with the mountain king icon (cause there's no logical tooltip), or the motor team one. All of the others have some or no abilities. Some things haven't been changed from Tank Wars to Mech Wars (i.e the loading screen). If you have any other questions, look at the triggers ect, or e-mail me at [email protected] or [email protected] cause I probably won't respond here.

One last thing, most spells aren't MUI or MPI.

Have fun.

You're leaving? :(

That's actually kinda usual for me, I never finish anything. I've never fully learn a programming language, or finished a project. In delphi I made a half functioning calculator. In Flash I made a ball move around. In Imageready a few okay gifs. In html I made a website template, but never an actual website. And in The World Editor I made this.

My not completed list of failures. And guess what, I'm starting to learn C++ for ds homebrew. And again who thinks that I'll actually finish it, not me.

But you don't even know me (me thinks) so why are you sad?
Clearly you want people to be sad, why else add a great speech about your large amounts of rep and and postmassing, and then sadly tell about how you never complete things in a map thread and are leaving? :p

Sorry to hear your leaving, goodluck at whatever else you decide to do.. Is there any particular reason your stopping mapping?

Anyways, I tested the map. The movement\turning\camera seemed chunky and not that good, and the attack system wasn't...Anything great? (The bullets don't hurt people when they hit them, just explode when they hit the ground...And theres that wierd flagpole infront of you all the time.) I didn't get a hero with a spell, either. :)eek: Ill replay it with one that has spells sometime.)

The idea seems good but the attached map seems pretty bad.. I understand its not done but... >,<

I didn't look at the spells yet though, maybe they're good.

EDIT: Its only chucky when you turn with the arrow keys.

The attacking system has bugs :rolleyes:.

Well, I stopped because I didn't really have any motivation. I also think that the ds homebrew scene is awesome.

Well for the speech thing or w/e, I wanted people to know who I am, since I haven't been here for that long.

You stop mapping and leave thehelper because you don't have motivation? No wounder you don't finish most things.. :p You give up to soon and to early. I normaly have more then one map going at a time, That way when I get tired of one I switch to the other. Or just take brakes.

Well for the speech thing or w/e, I wanted people to know who I am, since I haven't been here for that long.[
Yeah, I wasn't complaining, just don't yell at people for being sad that your leaving... lol.

Yelling would have caps, an exclamation point, or both.
Complaining, fine.. lol...You just said how you attempted to be a good member, made many posts, and are well know\have a lot of rep, then say "Why are you sad that I'm leaving?" at him.

Anyways, lets not get too offtopic from the map.

I tested it again, with a hero who had spells.. They were all normal ones. :( Changed immolation, net, and some other thing.. Do other heros have custom spells?

There are some spells that are trigger-enhanced, the one you tried was the first one I made, and was more of a test. You could check in the trigger editor for the spells that were trigged.

    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
