Been a while since the last map update, right? Well, primarily since we've been doing a lot with the map and we're still

pretty busy with our everyday lives of course. I have posted some screenshots some time ago for you guys to know what's in

store of the next version. :)

And to check out our group 'Panda Wars Lovers' aat PlayDotA.com :p You can join if you want.

Small Update about the map, but more like news. ^_^

Did you know?? IceFrog, the creator of DotA, just said that the map was interesting and told me to keep it up. That's awesome. (I'm not lying here, IceFrog and I have some connections)

Just a thing, when i readed decription
Level up to level 100!!
, i got a very creepy feeling... Do you think someones going to lvl 100 in a DotA like game?? In DotA, normaly you just come to lvl 19-22 until end. If you want to still have the 100 lvl limit change the tower hp and atk speed and damage.

I find I level up far faster playing this then when I play DotA. The game for me normally finishes with me at level 45-50 because of the easiness of the AI which are getting upgraded next version.

Gameplay gonna be VERY different in v3.18. Don't get too familiar with this. Max level will be 34 in the next version.

For who want to test the AI, please Click Me! to download the map.

Note : The map is not v3.18, but v3.17. Some icons are removed to reduce the size of map.
Known Issues : <insert name>(I forgot the hero's name)'s model is missing. It is a shadow and unclickable.

What can new version of AI(s) do?
Casting spells on heroes.
Retreat when there is no more creep nearby.
Buying Items.
Back to base to heal when low on hp.

Any suggestion/bug reporting for the AI? Do tell me and I will add it if it is possible.

Update : Due to some terrain changes, I need to modify the AI pathing. ;)

Update #2 : I tried to port it for 3 lanes, but it was bugged. I'm trying to fix it.
If the situation is still bad, I will rewrote the AI(It usually takes me 1 day).

Schedule of me :
18/2 : Homework
19/2 : Outgoing
20/2 : AI
21/2 : Homework

Update #3 : The AI worked good. Left the creep spawning bug(I rewrote it for making more advanced and efficient ai script), I will fix it if there is time for me. :)

:D Cool! Thanks for that. If you guys have any comments? What do you guys think of three lanes instead of one?

And note: It's my birthday today!! I'm now 16 yrs old.

Just finished the porting of AI. :D
I shall release it for testing later.
As usual, I shall remove some icon to reduce the file size of beta map.

Is it the latest map you'll be releasing with the fixed terrain or not?
I'm not the terrainer. :D However, I fixed the distance between 2 forces by changing the position of spawning.

Click Me!
I decided to leave the icons there. :p

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
