My favorite "OMG U SUxx0rZ" moment was playing a TD - I had let a few creeps go, and the game had triggers that called each player some sort of insulting thing each and every time they whiffed. One particularly tough round, we all leaked some, and some other guy, who had mocked me for being a FAGOT, suddenly said, "Hey.. that's not cool.. I'm jewish" when the game called him a leaking jew. I felt all sorts of sympathy, really I did. |

I have those Green icons in my map when my hero dies.(the ones with custom icon) I know how to get rid of it by adding the DISable icon but that means I have to add additional 100+kb. (since each icon is 5-8bytes and there are 15 of them) Does this make me a n00b??:( :( :( |
| 11-14-2003, 03:39 AM | #6 |
yes.. and no..., 15 x 6 is only 90 kb, which isnt alot, but i guess its kninda alotta work, i can do some if you want, pm me |

Well, I guess my map is gonna fall under "n00b" catagory, because I have 3 spells that no matter what I do the tooltip won't show... Its really weird. its weird because it always shows the name of the spell in the tooltip box, but it doesn't show anything else its supposed to, and sometimes it will show random characters below the name, and sometimes it will just have a few blank lines below the name. And you don't even have to do anything to get it to change, just take your mouse off of it, and put it back and it might be different... |

Don't make a map that has already been done. The golden rule of map making |

Edited maps with the exact same name as the last 5-10 versions of the same map with the same name that I've downloaded. And your problem with tooltips may be with your scriptfiles AllPainful, I had a problem like that (random characters appearing under tooltips, squashed empty tooltip boxes). Check your imported files for any .wts that might have gotten imported by whatever editors you use. |

I bet you base your spell off autocast spells, and you remove the Text-Tool-Tip-Turn off, Right-click to activate auto-casting and Text-Tool-Tip- Turn off Extended, Right-click to deactivate auto-casting. Well, You cant remove them otherwise it acts weird just like how you described it..... @UlitimateJim, :hm: :hm: I said I KNOW how to do these, I've made those Custom icons Myself after all (acutally I just took those FF image and made them the rightsize in photoshop). Its not hard to use photoshop and darken the image and insert it as the DISable ICon, I know the path too. those DISable icon (100kb) may not seem alot, my splash screen (almost 200kb) may not seem alot, my custom minimap preview pic(200kb) may not seem alot. but if you add all of them up, its well over 500 extra kb. (my map itself is about 500kb.) Also I'm constantly adding new projectile models, trigger ehanced spells, more triggers, etc.. further increasing my map's file size with each version. I've also had many offers for skins but I had to turn them down because of the file size issue. My point is, I have to pick what I want to include in my map. If this was a Single Player Map, then I wouldnt have this issue. |

FF_Behemoth you are correct... But you wanna know whats REALLY weird about it? Its not an autocast ability anymore because no UNITS have the ability, another ability actually has the ability, and the thing is a Unit has the ability that has the ability that used to be autocast... (LOL, get all that?) But the ability the unit has doesn't show up, but the ability that the ability has does, and like I said, it was the one that used to be autocast..... If I put the "autocast" text back, but change it to like just a -, will it work? I have other "autocast" spells that have been changed in the same manor, but they still had their tooltips.. EDIT: You were correct, that was the problem. I put a space in the box for that tooltip and now they show up fine (except now they have a blank line below them, but I will put some text there so it doesn't look completely stupid.) |

well, i think custom loading screens in multiplayer maps are totally unneeded, they may looks good but they do add an extra 200 kb, im not sure about d/ling time but im sure it adds a little, srry of rmaking you look like a noober :/ but i was bored and needed something to do but i guess ima go to bed now |

I never said loading screen, I think you need glasses :D :D acutally a custom loading screen will take up to 800kb because you need 4 pics. One for each corner... I was mad for a sec when you kinda called me a n00b lol... and since you didnt know my map's situation. Well, Im over it.. *EDIT* well, I must admit, without those DISable icons, It does make my map a bit unprofectional and I'll most likely add them later on. |

Any non-inventive type hero arena map, especially those who lack custom skills. |

-Maps that have little or no discription of spells or objectives. -Maps which have absolutly no stoyline behind it, i dont care if it is a shallow one, but a complete lack of any. (this is mainly applicable for rpgs) |
