Battleforums Community Map v2.0

[IceDevil9]

Let's try this again. We had it going for a little bit, but it quickly died once I left.

Let's give this another shot.

Round 1: Brainstorming.

Ok folks, before we do anything we must find the type of map we want to make. Go ahead and post away ideas, but please do not stray too far off topic.

Please note that all threads not relating to the particular phase of the project will be split. Thank you.

The Map I've made in my head for the last several months is an onslaught type map having two teams fighting for control of a number of nodes. Each team or player would have tower builders (as in your standard TD), a hero, and a barracks for generating computer controlled attackers. Thus advances into the opposing teams territory are made using computer controlled attackers (as in your standard TD - think WM wars) and player controlled heros. Once a node is secured, defense can include towers. The progression could be linear, with each node advancing further into the opposing territory, or more open ended with nodes dispersed around the map.

I envison it wave based, with gold based on kills, nodes controlled, and attackers sent. I would base all gold on TEAM kills rather than individual kills since I have found that using individual kills results in too much infighting amonst teams. As the game advances, heros advance in level and higher level towers and attackers can be made.

I dont get around on BN as much as I should, so I don't know if this has already been done or not - maybe its already out there.

Other thoughts?

I thought of something a few months back; but it quickly became something much to hard for me to do at the time.

A Hero-Arena starring the major people in the BF community. That would be in a ballparck of anywhere between 50-100 heros, all having unique abilities.

It's a thought, hopefully a nice one.

 

[IceDevil9]

Well Khull, envisiong all the custom skills would be quite a challenge, but sounds like fun. Keep em' coming guys, we'll get a couple more ideas, and put up a poll and select which one we want and go from there.

I like the thought that you put into yuor idea Slay, and it is very possible, but once again we'll need to vote on it.

Remeber folks, if this works we can do multiple maps, we're not limited to one, so if this catches on we can hopefully wind up doing all of your ideas!

[Icedragon]

Maybe just a Bf TD and like waves could be members
last few waves should be like skuzzy cort crookedfoot and chrisuk (chris should be the boss cause he ****ed every thing up lol)

 

[Dethstalker]

i like the hero arena idea...i have made a few maps with A LOT of heros and custom things...

this one here has the most heros...

[IceDevil9]

So, unless anyone else has some more ideas I suppose we'll start on the poll. I'll leave the brainstorming process open for another day, but if nothing else comes we'll start voting on the type of map.

Stupid lag, double-post.

Now that we've chosen the map, a Battle Forums hero arena, we need to go to phase 2.

Phase 2: Doing Your Part

We need to figure out who can do what, so simply reply with what you can do, and what you're best at, and we will go from there. I will list who is doing what here and edit my post accordingly. Also remember no posts relating to this phase will be split.

I personally can do Units/Heroes/Spells/Triggers, but I really shine at triggers. Since I am going to be the overseeing this I'll dabble in a little of everything.

Terrain: IceDevil9, SlayMaximus
Units: IceDevil9
Spells: IceDevil9
Heroes: IceDevil9
Triggers: IceDevil9, SlayMaximus, Darimus

Finishers (Or learners, you can do the last bits of the certain thing to learn from other people and try your hand at it).

Terrain:
Units: SlayMaximus
Spells: SlayMaximus
Heroes: SlayMaximus
Triggers:

[SlayMaximus]

I feel competent at Terrain and Triggers, can probably do Units, and would like to learn more in Spells and Heros.

 

[Darimus]

I'll do some triggers.

And if the new patch comes out during the making, some custom spells based on triggers, using the new Damage Target features and such

 

[IceDevil9]

I'm going to start the map right now, making heroes + custom spells.

-Frank

 

[SoNiC_tHe_IgEl]

i could make triggers... just tell me when u need one of the best mappers of germany... (title made by myself cuz i love myself so freaking much :usad )

 

[SweatyOgre]

I can help out with units and spells. As long as I'm in it, that is

 

[Khull]

I suppose we'd need to decide who's all going to be in this?

Imo we should use all of the active WC posters (Obviously, unless they object) also include the Admins/Staff (?) Along with a few other members (again,?)

We could also make a thread with personal preferences on heros. (I.e: Art, Spells, Voice, the works)

I'm terrible with the Editor, but I can still come up with ideas...

 

[SweatyOgre]

How about all the active posters who play wc? Like me, I'm active, but not much in the WC forums. This way, someone with a post count of 30 couldn't come in and say "MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME R MAP IN GAME MAP CUSTOM MAP ME IN"

 

[Khull]

Well duh it would only be the active people, I thought that a no-brainer...

Umm lets see a short list here...

Pan
SweatOgre
Theroy
IceDevil9
Darimus
N_
Dark_Mage (Or Mystic Sorcerer, I think is his new name)
SimonSims (I know I'm wrong with that name)
Flesh Ripper
AHappyChineseBoy
Beer Slut
Teddy (He plays tft right? I think so)
Tweak (Same as above)
Khull
Forged
Newbie4Lyfe
Andrew
Speaker (possibly)
Aragorn7
NeverGoingBack
TreeFrog
Samsara
Sonic_The_IgeI

Those are the about all the WC posters I could think of...
More:
Crookedfoot
Swooper
Amantis
Cortalos
(I figure its a good idea to have the admins in)

It's a start. Any other suggestions for people in it?

 

[IceDevil9]

I like your idea the best, I've made some heroes but no skills yet, I only ahd about 45 min to work last night.

I made Cortalos and Swooper, and I'm doing the other 2 admins then moving on to your list, starting from the top. I'll do about 10 heroes w/custom spells and some triggers, then hand it off.

[Ntrik_]

Plz, I dont know if I can, but may I ask that I be DH xD

And I think custom character (you know, like ToB) that would be cool dont you think?

And I would love to give out ideas as in skills and stats and all, and too bad I cant do editing maps in war3 =/ I think Ill learn it since I cant play games in weekdays now....

 

[Khull]

It's only 27 heros, I was hoping for 30 at the very minumum.

We don't have to limit ourselves to just those people. We could also include some of the staff and other high positioned people on the forum.

Also d'you think adding Skuzzy would be a good idea? After all he created this haven.

EDIT: Ill personally see to it that my beloved N_ gets his DH
EDIT-2: Also, I'd like to make myself personally, if not I'll just tell you my specifications.
