Unless something has changed since back when I helped with the bank restrictions research. Banks are/were saved to folder based on the publisher of the map,
Otherwise anyone who names their bank "saves" or "information" ...ect would all be sharing the same bank ^_~
You could also throw in a reason for his players to play the MoTW version. Maybe give a code that can be used once to give X points on the "real" game once its back up. [though until the next patch, the code cant be unique to each player, so people could share] but theres a good deal of people that wouldnt, so they would play to get that code.
Obviously thats not an ideal solution, but you get the idea.
And I dont think maken a already popular map the MOTW will sky rocket it to first place all by itself, but I do think its a VERY needed boost that we should take full advantage of, and will indeed help a GREAT deal.
I think that having Sixen publish would get us a couple more hours, but having the banks intact and working would I think add quite a bit more. Dark is a mod, and someone we can easily trust. I vote him for the first map, and then Sixen for the rest. As for EU, I don't know how that would work.
I dont think you get it...
You can only have 1 publisher...or the popularity is reset..so its not "him host, then switch" its sixen always lol.
Dark could publish Map of the Week. This would keep all the banks intact.
haven Sixen publish it would be best for pop wise.. a good deal of people know him from the forums..ect I know you were just given an example but... lol
Wow... I really shouldn't reply to that, but I just have to. You seem to be either dyslexic or as non-objective as taco.
Imagine this: Before all this drama user X writes a post "Hey, Battle Planets is great and all, but for reason Y it is not fitted to become MotW.", and I agree to this reason. Without any hesitation I continue supporting the project. But then you agree on using map Z which is already on page 1 or 2 (let's for the heck of it call it Income Wars), and I immediately resign.
Now the question for 100 points: Why? You don't have to agree with it, you just have to understand what I mean.
But thats the whole point of the first map, WE DONT WANT TO "PROMOTE" A MAP FOR FIRST MAP. We want to get the "MOTW" map slot to page one, thats the ONLY POINT of the first map. Honestly, if the author would let us, I would make the first map nexus wars in heart beat. So that Next week, when we put battle planets as the map,LOADS of people would be playing it, due to it being on page one. Haven a page 1 already map helps everyone else. Thats the only reason for haven to pick the first map... there shouldn't have been a vote for first map, it honestly should have been the highest popularity map we could find.
[and to the bank issue, one week of not haven items wont hurt anyone, haven stat resets means it gone forever, while this does not.]
alright i'm sorry we're raining hell on ya, but the bank thing I ASSURE YOU has no problem to be dealt with (banks can work for multiple maps, which is how some maps have sequels)
EDIT: can you please respond to my pm? i didn't think my tone was bad there... i just wanted to hear if you'd agree with that point
No, banks work between maps, not authors...however, it wont be an issue with mafia. noone will mind for 1 week
I think putting Mafia as motw will only work if he took down his map for the week since people will then look for mafia which then might screw up his pop. It would be too much trouble. We'll just have to start motw on a friday when map night is. Does NA even have map night?
Re-read his post... his mafia map would tell people to go to MOTW that want to play it. It gives us his player bases..which helps boost it even more, so its a nice trick.
and.. NA map night hasnt happend for a very long time.
Just wondering if there are any people out there that have made something in unity3D. What was your experiences with it? Did you find it met you needs missing the features of the pro edition?
How did you export your game? Stand alone? Web? or 360/ps3
Starting now with advertising would be 100% contraproductive. When we post a thread on team liquid, dozens of people will go online and check for Map of the Week. If we post it now, but upload it in a week or even later, nobody will care anymore. All the people who read Rodrigos thread on the battlenet forums already forgot about this.
And I can't believe you now come along with Mafia in your hands. If Mafia, which is an awesome map, get's Map of the Week, I'm done with this project.
I really dont think you understand the point of the first map already people popular so that this project gets to the first page.
If we did do that, I would think its best we use it for "easy to remember" and just redirect them here automatically. Having them be on another site for any amount of time is killing the point a bit.
i edited my comment above, please look over it... i'm not lazy i REALLY care about this project, and i would cry my ass off if it didn't work
lol no no I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I dont think your being lazy in any shape or form, trust me. I just see you say a lot that "if you were a mod then this or that" Im just trying to let you know, that dosnt matter, you should still be able to do anything you can think to help the project... and if there is something that you cant, you can PM one of us. [however like I said.. editing his polls is not something I would do..as I dont want to take over his project] but I think you get what I meant =)

1) I wouldnt just copy that.. bulky sigs like that turn people away more than draws people
2) thats a forum option, in your settings , by default, you only see sigs the first time a user posts on that page.
and his post vanished o.0

I dont care myself, but I can tell you, a good deal of players would indeed complain.

ps: mapoftheweek.org is free.

On phone so can't give all the feedback
By I'm against using another site to host information. They need to be sent back here, it's where all the mappers have their projects
