Hero Contest! (Deadline = December 7th, 2006)

[shadowange1]

emjlr3 your hero is pretty cool in all, but.....
I waited 20 mins while playing superman returns demo, while your map was loaded. Then i used your first ablity on an albatross, then i used its ult and it crashed. I dont know if it was my comp or your spell but maybe u should do what i did and see if yours crashes too. The error it gave me wan invalid something(memory leak if i remmeber correctly).
Edit: Also do spells for the contest need to be able to be used by 12 players at same time?

It's not required, but you're very much unlikely to win without it.

It is not required that they be MUI, but you're not likely to have a chance at all if you don't make them MUI. In fact, they don't truly have to be MUI because these heroes should be "ready to use in a melee tavern", in which case each player can only have 1 of any specific hero. Because of this, you could make it meet melee MUI requirements by using global variable arrays.

Unfair! :(

Worked my butt on it. :P And hey, isn't that an important part of this too?

Then so did Blizzard. I copied their page.

Hehe, not that easy. He's not the slaughtering type. I am working in Blood Mana right now, found a bit of problems with Spell Steal (like always) and am about to fix it.

Pyrogasm... Thank you for the tip. I'll modify that. :)

I hate coding for spell steal, it's unnecessarily retarded.

And I'm glad we're getting such show for the contest.
I was worried for awhile that there would be fewer than 3 entries.
Shows what I know, eh?

And I can't wait to try all of these heroes.
When this is said and done, we should make a wc3c hero arena from them. :P

[st33m]

Moyack, its explosion, not explotion.

[Pyrogasm]

Well I'll be damned... my spells and, quite frankly, the general concept of my hero are starting to look shabbier and shabbier as new heroes are posted... Props to you though, Moyak, on an intriguing hero idea!

On a side note: Alevice, I was going to say it should be Martyrdom, but I wasn't sure if that was the word Daelin was looking for.

Edit:

THIS is a goood idea =D

[ArchWorm]

Say me, please, can pushback func be used, if I make it from scratch?
Or everything, that was used in WC3C systems is not allowed?

[Fulla]

If you include it inside the spell trigger its fine.

[ArchWorm]

emjlr3, does your hero follow JESP?
Fulla, well, that's the way to recognize if code was made by me =P

Not really, if it is efficient. There are ways to trick Spell Steal so that the detection acts correctly. And it is utterly necessary that you make buff spells compatible with Spell Steal especially if your spell is meant to work in a melee game (a.k.a tavern hero). So blame blizzard for actually making spell steal.

~Daelin

[Rising_Dusk]

I realize the necessity of it, but I still hate it.
It usually adds hours to my coding time and then causes more problems than it solves.
And I blame Blizzard already for a lot of things, what's adding one more, eh?

I have a hero arena 97% finished. It just needs some translatores and some more heroes ;D. If you would accept all, I would put in all the heroes (whose skills fit in the system of my map), if you like and I get the permission of every one.

Rising_Dusk: Plx chnage the buttons art a lil' , it does not really fit to the spells. Else great work.

Dealin: I like yours very! It is so balanced and has some kind of unique style. I'll vote for you.

Hehe, it's actually pretty easy to do. My technique is pretty logical and though it messes up with some of Spell Steal stats, it works very well. You have to consider though from the beginning the way you want to design your spell if you plan to make it Spell Steal compatible. That's all! Elsewhere for certain abilities it may cause some problems. Maybe I should make a tutorial based on this problem.

Thank you for your nice words.
