![]() THEME The theme for this mapping contest is SPELLS. The idea here is to come up with completely custom spells/abilities using either the Data Editor or Trigger Editor (though brownie points go to those who use the Data Editor). You can submit more than one spell to the contest, as spells will be individually judged and minerals can be awarded multiple times to the same person if multiple exceptional spells are created JUDGING Theme: 10Did you make a spell? If anyone gets less than 10 on this, I will kill you. Professionalism: 15 How well is the spell designed? Does it have any bugs? Does it work properly? Fun: 15 How much fun is it using this spell? Does it make you happy inside? How about on the outside? Originality: 10 Is this original? Am I going to wish I had come up with the idea, first? Is this basically a duplicated Blizzard ability with changed effects? Total: 50 points RULES
REWARDS First Place: 100 minerals, 3 Contest PointsSecond Place: 75 minerals, 2 Contest Points Third Place: 50 minerals, 1 Contest Point Bonus Minerals for Awesome Spells: 10 minerals per spell ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CURRENTLY WORKING ON Shadowlands | Demonic: Urban Apocalypse Invasion: Ares | Recon | OMG TEH ZOMBIES!!! |

Yes.
Yes, though that wont have an effect on overall judging. The focus should be the spell or ability itself. You can use that full month to make multiple awesome spells and earn more minerals by doing so. And also you are right in that if someone doesn't see it now or care to participate now, they have a month to contribute. On top of that, not everyone is a seasoned pro with the editor, and perhaps some people might want to create a cool idea they had but don't know how to yet. A month gives them the time needed to do that. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CURRENTLY WORKING ON Shadowlands | Demonic: Urban Apocalypse Invasion: Ares | Recon | OMG TEH ZOMBIES!!! |

In! What's the theme?
... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- No fair for the trigger gurus. I'll take a peek at the Data Editor, but I'll almost guarantee a 100% trigger-generated spell on top of a dummy ability. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn how to make EUDs: [EUD] A Mapmaker's Guide for Creating EPDs

Doing abilities via triggers is sooooooooooo much easier, and it seems like it requires much less planning, so that's why I'd reward more for Data Editor spells.

That's like rewarding someone making a website in notepad more than someone using Dreamweaver. The end result is really the only thing most people care about.

This is a very general theme suggested by Ahli months ago, and it relates to the next contest. This has nothing to do with SC2Mapster. IIt's actually really unfortunate that they don't like us and apparently we don't like them. That feud has nothing to do with me, though, as I actually get along with Sixen. Regardless, the point is to make some cool stuff with the editor.
If I held a contest for coding a website, I would reward someone making a website in notepad more than someone using Dreamweaver. I see this as being no different. A big part of these contests is how the maps are made, and not just the end result. In this particular case, we're looking at individual abilities/spells and so how simple or complex they are will be a factor. Either way, like I said above the contest is to make awesome spells (with triggers or the data editor). It will tie in with the next contest, and it is supposed to be fun and not tedious. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CURRENTLY WORKING ON Shadowlands | Demonic: Urban Apocalypse Invasion: Ares | Recon | OMG TEH ZOMBIES!!! |

Hooray for being the first to submit something that isn't creative at all!
And because it's that bad, I will probably make another spell to submit to get a better score than this one. EDIT: Fixed map below! This post was edited 1 time, last edit by aalleecc248: Mar 4 2011, 1:01 am. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Must have been when I was testing the other spell, then removed it after raging
Attachments:
And as it may look like, it's not really like an edited Blizzard spell. It is kinda a combination of Infested Marine Egg (Thing) and Fungal Growth, but it targets a single unit, takes time, and has a CHANCE to convert. Made completely from scratch though.

Really there's a feud between scmapster and us 0_o i've been there and those guys like sens' community as were both pretty helpful.
Since we and sc2 mapster are most popular for the highly technical stuff done in sc2 its arguable... finally what do you define as a feud my 2 cents... I have some cool ideas but the data editor/ trigger editor is tough is shit for me to use, i guess i have to play around with it until i get used to it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a seat missing, but it hurts.

I'm serious!
Sometimes it just seems like Tempz responds to everything he can in posting sprees, half the time not reading the rest of the topic, and 99% of the time in illegible English. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CURRENTLY WORKING ON Shadowlands | Demonic: Urban Apocalypse Invasion: Ares | Recon | OMG TEH ZOMBIES!!! |
