You'll almost certainly get more points for good GUI than you will for shit JASS.

Do we get graded on tooltips, icons, etc?

(Ironic that the banner contains the only thing that isn't allowed in the contest. :p)

Possibly.

"Some Tower" and "Does stuff" don't exactly qualify as being imaginative. :p

Some TDs have creeps with 10k+ life and some have creeps with 500 life.

How the hell are we supposed to make a balanced tower?!

That's not mentioned at all in the first post. :p

Pwede bang sariling terrain?

I'm assuming that as long as it demonstrates the usage/effects of the tower, it'll be fine.

Ghan might have some other 'requirements' though.

I decided to join this contest. It's fun!! :)
I have a few questions:
1. Do we have to kill all the spawns in the template?
2. If I have 1 tower with 3 upgrades, will you grade only 1 tower or get the average of the grades of the 4 towers?
3. Can I use a bigger pathing?

No. Doesn't necessarily matter if you kill even one, really.

> If I have 1 tower with 3 upgrades, will you grade only 1 tower or get the average of the grades of the 4 towers?

I believe this has been talked about before. :p If your tower has upgrades, I will combine all that your tower is, including the upgrades, into one grade. It will all play a part.

> Can I use a bigger pathing?

Bigger than what? I assume yes, though. See the previous contests for the tower that was the Eye of Sauron. :p

Do we have any limit on the custom data for our tower? ie: Custom pathing, custom model, icons, etc.

Not really.... Just make sure that whatever you use doesn't break the forum rules, please.

While you're here, Ghan, I wanted to check on what GetTriggerUnit- said here...

Probably because the template map uses custom value or so. As I said, feel free to restructure the map as you see fit to demonstrate your tower.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
