Both the popularity system and the custom map contest result have negative effect to the morale of the mapmaking community. =/
Yea, that. And the cake always being a lie.
Anybody working on anything interesting at the moment? I know Eiviyn is remaking Catalyst... I kinda gave up on Gates of Darkness (i usually only edit it once it goes up in popularity to get rid of bugs created during the 1 time i edited while it wasnt popular between popularity resets...)
Had an idea about making a custom race mod, but it'd take ages and i really don't feel like working that much in the data editor, since most things i'll be doing is simply linking already existing things, and making upgrades and requirements, and some minor changes to units and abilities...

Anybody working on anything interesting at the moment?
dunno. I am still bug fixing my TMA classic map for the real release. (atm in beta, link below)
and working on another project with 2 other people. but not allowed to say anything.
You guys with teams being all secrety... *evil stare*
Yea, news arent coming out that much anymore :( Its one thing i really liked about this site... But since no one is talking about their projects *evil stare* there isnt really anything to news...
I cant wait to get a new comp and a mic and start casting custom maps... its something ive wanted to do since beta, but never got around to, and now my mic croaked...
btw, what you guys think of a tournament? I mean melee tournament, only with mapster people. See how good mappers can play by the normal rules ;) I can organise the whole thing pretty quickly and it would be done in around a week (not counting registrations and delays). I already organised a tournament before.
I somehow have the feeling this wont happen, lol...
not really an edit since i couldnt post cause of the new post warning (evil stare at wolf)
@wOlfLisK: Sucks :( What happened that you cant run sc2? Or at least the editor without terrain open?
Also as I see there is more non-editor related talk than before.
I guess if somebody has a problem, he can probably find the fix it with search and also some people waiting for blizz "fixes".
You guys with teams being all secrety... *evil stare*
well. I can all talk and be really good about the plans etc. but it kinda sucks if I can't make it come true.
so I learned to shut up about projects till you have something to show for.

Oh, Its sort of a next-gen AoS Ive been busy with. I`ll probably make an official announcement sometime next week.
As for the news. Though mods can now edit and create front page news, I partially blame Sixen and vjeux. They both seem to be kinda.. inactive as of late. Busy in real life or disinterest, Either way, it sort of has a ripple effect on the rest of us.

If there are nothing else to news, I'll be very happy if the moderators can news my new DotA style map that was released a few days ago. It is really well polished. Up to the standard of SotIS.
Am I suppose to report my map to moderators or something in order to get it on the front page? I have mapmaking experience since early War3 with maps featured in those old War3 fansites but this is my first time to release a map here.
I am working on a bigger project, but job, friends, family and the current state of the custom map system make it hard to do much progress :-D
And I am rather the triggerer and love to construct solid systems, the only thing I really managed in the data editor was one custom attack of a roach. But I love to collect ideas when sitting in the train, and it's great to get inspired by people here. -> I rather read than write :)
It's the same when I started WC3 mapping, at first there were one million questions and as soon as you have an overview about all the stuff and are at the point where you can find stuff out yourself, desperate threads get more and more rare. :D
Let's see what blizzard gives us for christmas.
Greetings from germany, happy sunday
PS: As soon as I have something to show, I will for sure do it here first!
This site has been so quiet lately. 30 people online at European prime time and not much more at US prime time.
Am I missing something?
People are lurking in the shadows..waiting for the blizzard do fix things...
lol, im constantly online, but i also noticed how less active this forum was getting. I think we're running out of noobs asking questions.
I'm not a forum guy, sorry Eiviyn XD
Life has intervened. Just wait till christmas.
Indeed Blizz better do something.

Ooh, I am;p. Well, my team and I to be more specific.

I hope they all are working on there big epic projects! I noticed the News dont come daily, like some time before. I check it everyday.
Well, my PC can only run firefox and WoW for some reason :/. So i can't map. No editor = no helping others :(

Come on sc2 and I'll make a video of my progress so far. I'm bored anyway, and need to show stuff off.
favourite post of the day =D lol
next gen AoS sounds interesting :) If you need beta testers sometime, im up for it (unless my plans change and i wont have time)
Anything else going on here?

@Wakeman: Go
you need a video to news it. Then you have to PM the people in charge of the news with it.
@Rushhour
GL with your map then :)
