The frozen land

Hi mapeditor and creative people,

I just started my new project named "The Frozen lands" Its going to become a melee map ( 1vs1, 2vs2 and 3vs3 ).

I want to bring in some new ideas after the global height and forest editing is complete. And I could really use some nice ideas from other editors :D, I want this map to become better than best

My first new idea: Instead of 1 fountain of mana I wanted to use the blue mushrooms with the mana aura, make a location around it and give it a small mana regeration. These mushrooms are going to stand throughout the map (screenshot come up in 6 hours after posting time, I am at work right now)



Come and look at the development page where more pictures can be found.

:ggani: Let me know what u think, and give me some feed-back :ggani:

Amazing work you are indeed a true terrainest like me and some others not many are gifted with this 'Terrain' Talent, now what did you say you wanted other 'Editors'(people) to help you work on map or somthing? cause those mushrooms you were saying about, your prob can do it real easy, find the pathing for that glowing mushroom and change the fountain of mana to that model its very easy if you don't already know. Just gotta find the pathname, if you need any help just give me a call, thats very awesome work:D

PS. How many maps are there?

Ejj aftershock, I want to discus ideas about the map, I like beginning terrain editors to see how a map evolves from scratch and be able to ask questions or even bring in ideas they cant accomplish themselves.

And if somebody thinks something is seriously wrong with the map I really like to know, I love to edit and edit more until I cant edit anymore, then I go kick some *** on bnet

I do really have one problem ==> I have to work during the day, but all I can think of is editing, so I browse the warcraftiii.net and wc3campaign forums.


Do u mean if it is a campaign or not ?

heh heh your a warcraft 3 freak like me i have to do school and crap all i can think of is war3 and editing and crap, o btw i signed your guestbook at ur clan site you should go read it:D

PS. This map looks like the best melee map ever made goodjob:D

I just came up with a cool idea, does anyone have (or can u make) a nice creep model that fits in the icy setting. The bigger the creep, the better.

I myself am not very (very not) experienced in making models. I want this map to be new in more ways than just the nice setting

IF u grant me some cool models I will make sure u will get credit at the end cinematic of the game. :ggani:

Ps: Why cinematic on a multiplayer melee map, I like players to feel one with the map, showing of nice (strategic) positions and making a story in the map

Well, for model requests I suggest you make a request in the modeling forum if you haven't already done so, you'll be more likely to get a response where most model discussion takes place. I'm sure that if you gave the same sort of speil as you did here that someone would be impressed enough to assist you.

You should be proud, it's a fine looking map.

sounds intersting, needs pictures though for concept of new creeps =)

So am back again



I think this is coloring and not moddeling, but i want these to fit the icy landscape more, Like Dark blue and a little bit of white ( like they have been snowed under), the eyes should stay red or be made red ( i like the evil look :gsmile: )

Is it also possible to change the projectile to someting frosty ?

-well there's the frost wyrm's breath weapon.
-i think the sorceress or priest has a blue magic thingy projectile.
-the lich has a cold projectile.
-ice arrows
-the shaman's lightning attack sort fits
-blue dragon prolly has a cold projectile
-not sure about ice trolls

that's all i can think of in a minute

just when my ego was starting to get ahead of itself, good job m8

Dude this Map is AWESOME. I just a had a LAN Party and can't wait till you release this guy. I will hook up a LAN when you do. It' just so beautiful. I always loved Snow maps more. Probably cause I love snow. But this map is a Masterpiece, a work of art.
Major Congrats to you. Holler if you need anything, I will se what I can do to help.

Is is just melee? Because adding some triggers would be nice. For example some sort of "shop" which sells random level items using a dialog. Very simple and fun to make, but hard to balance. Anyway, love the terrain, and is that a tiny village with a fountain to the lower right?

I posted new pics on the development site, 50 % on terrain now

When hitting the "W" the water dissapears look at this



After some thinking a couple of joints, I thought by myself "Winter has just ended on this map" look at the icy river and small areas of grass.

My question for all trigger kings :ggani: : is it possible to create a trigger that removes the water by night and lets it flow by day

This would really be cool

stupit world editor, I pressed some keys, and the weren't meant to be pressed, have to start all over again ( the heights i mean by that ):( I just wanted to save and test the map..............

FYI -- I don't think there's a way to implement the mushroom idea and still have it be considered a strict melee map.
