[Results Posted] The Tower Contest - 4 Times the Fun

You'll almost certainly get more points for good GUI than you will for shit JASS.
 
Yes i started learning vjass quite awile ago but my first spell was very crapy triggered the romek said rather stay with GUI so that why i tell him "my bad jass"
 
If you read the post above you youd see the bad part was a joke
 
Do we get graded on tooltips, icons, etc?

(Ironic that the banner contains the only thing that isn't allowed in the contest. :p)
 
> Do we get graded on tooltips, icons, etc?

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?!
 
> Possibly.
That's not mentioned at all in the first post. :p

> "Some Tower" and "Does stuff" don't exactly qualify as being imaginative.
Damn.. There goes my current tooltip. :(
 
Pwede bang sariling terrain?

Hello, so i'm joining the contest, is it allowed to use my own terrain and not use the terrain of yours? :D
 
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?
 
> Do we have to kill all the spawns in the template?

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.
 
> Do we have any limit on the custom data for our tower?

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.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
