DOTA: Free Dota Template 1.0

excellent! this could be the end of the dota depression!

I haven't opened it up yet, but would this be flexible? Ultimately what is possible
with this is up to the skills of the mapper, but what I mean is can you radically alter the terrain and other features without hopelessing ruining it? In other words, is it easy to modify the system to suit your needs? This question is rather irrelevant to me since I am about to open it right after this post yet this may be an important point for someone.

Btw, I noticed a couple of things. You are still using the hex method of preventing TKing, yet DotA itself no longer uses this method. I'm guessing they tweaked all the heros so you can't target friendlies anymore. Second, I haven't seen all the code, but I haven't seen any JASS anywhere. Good for the average mapper, I guess, but I hope you don't have many or any memory leaks. Using globals is a good thing for that purpose, I guess.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Don't be silly.

The source here has less standard memory leak practices than the current most famous dota map on the market.

You should see their code.

Theres little JASS on purpose. Intentional.

 

[AceHart]

> yet DotA itself no longer uses this method

Damn..
Of course, if They don't do it anymore...

Who cares?

 

[hobo218]

hey ryoko or ace..is this the updated version of the 1.3 you had in the S.M. forum?..or is it just the same?

anyway..great job guys

 

[AceHart]

This is updated to the point of release.

 

[uberfoop]

lol, there are far more funny ways of tking in dota then it would be to attack allies. like using tiny's 'throw' ability when yer ally is running away past you. and other such bs.

TFT 1.15 is it enough for your DOTA template

my version of TFT is 1.15,

i don't d/l the newest d/l coz file is too large to d/l

but if that works on my TFT it'll good,

SD ryoko, Who are you?

you do much for Warcraft community ? are you a machine ?
made by Blizzard, if not, glad to know you.

i'm new to making map, but when i can make one, i'll send you one
to give comment, if you say good, i'll post to the world.

good to know you...he he he he

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Helllo.

I am not sure if it will run, honestly. I am on version 1.20, but you can always try?

Who am I?

Why, I'm SD_Ryoko of course!

An admin for thehelper.net.

And I don't work for Blizz.

I did also write um....most of the tutorial site and map server. Except user submitted tutorials. And Acehart has a hand in a lot of code and help.

you know its weird, I was just thinking yesterday about an idea for a tower defense template map (yet another idea I won't implement), and here you are releasing this DotA template map! Should be interesting to see what people do with this....

interesting comments on the map page....

"By uberfoop on Nov-25-05
let me get this straight ryoko-
you like dota, but you release a map that could help us to cause its downfall? you idiot. but at least your idiocy helps people from my point of view, i guess."

"By SD_Ryoko on Nov-24-05
I like DotA. Were going to play in a bit

But I am also against the monopolization of the mapping community. My personal choices do not reflect those of TheHelper.net."

"By Rad on Nov-24-05
Thats too bad Ryoko... I wouldnt have thought you would support it too... TheHelper.net is probrably 90% dota lovers, about time I find a new forum. "


anyway, pats on the back for Ryoko and Ace.

Some person uploaded a tower defense template map at wc3sear.ch ages ago, it wasn't very good. I'm generally against these sort of things but it seems like a nice idea.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Doesn't need to be successfull.

Thats only... what... 30% of the concept?

I think thats what was agreed on.

Imma go add some things to discript. LOL

I am a fire by nature.

Whether or not you add wood, or throw a gas can on it, is your choice.

Worried about what "they" might do?

I actually do take that as a compliment

Don't worry, our Dark Admin from Outer Hell is right here.
Armed, short tempered and off medication.

That means me

Ultimately, look from web designer view.

Positive traffic, and negative traffic, are both TRAFFIC. x2

Haw, don't mind uberfoop too much. He had a nervous breakdown on my forums over something aestetic like captain whirlpools were spinning clockwise instead of counter clockwise, said he'd never be back, and then was logged back in the next day. He tends to be a little spastic when he gets all heated up.

bug help

hi,
i have a problem with the creeps movment triger and i need help.
after 30 minutes the creeps of the scourge stucks in their base or stop at the road and they dont continue to move.
also, sometimes the creeps of sentinal in the right side stuck too.

what to do?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Yes.

There are three invisible units that the creeps walk to. They are in the two corners, and in the middle river.

If you window-drag to select, you can select them.

The problem is, these need to be INVUNERABLE, LOCUST (unselectable) and GHOST (no pathing).

See, they are DYING on accident, and theres no unit for the creeps to go to.

Then everything will work fine.

 

[AgentPaper]

There are three invisible units that the creeps walk to. They are in the two corners, and in the middle river.

Why do you have units instead of regions? If you want to make it easy to navigate, give them a bogus model, so you can see it in WE (that weird checkered box thingy) but not in the game.

And if theres a problem, it should come fixed in the map, not something for the mapper to do.

 

[AceHart]

> it should come fixed in the map

It's coming.
But, while waiting...
