Beta 071 + Donations update

Hello, friends. Beta 071. Included in this update are some new features laying the groundwork for the coming bonus donor content. And an amusing fact: Adding skins can actually reduce the map's size, so we need not worry about that.

Here are some of the new donor features in action.


Piccolo with +aura 6 and +color 100, 000, 000.
The Special Thanks for all donors. Additionally, the camera was set automatically and tips turned off. ($1 donation perk)
Krillin rocking a Mario Bros. inspired skin and the fusion aura. 
Krillin with a donor-exclusive heart aura.
+color 000 100 000 Hercule with another donor-exclusive aura.

 Donations are cumulative, so if you donate $1 now and donate $4 at a later date, you will gain access to all $1, $3, and $5 donation perks. Anyone that donates in support of the map will be able to access the following:


                                                           


$1+ Donation perks


Preset camera: The game will automatically set your default -cam and -ang settings to whatever value you specify

In game thanks: All donors will be thanked in the game.


$3+ Donation perks


Ability to use any aura (Glowy transformation effects) as any hero at any time. At this point in time there are 12 auras. Simply type +aura x, where x is the number of the aura you wish to have. Type +aura 0 to remove all auras.

$5+ Donation perks


Ability to change the color of your hero's model via a typed command (+color RRR GGG BBB, where R = red, B = blue, and G = green, and typing +color 100 000 080 will make you pink and +color 000 000 000 will make you black.). Type +glow 0 to remove all glow effects and restore your color to default.

Access to glow effects. These are preset animated versions of the +color command. Currently there is only one glow effect. Type +glow 1 to have your hero quickly cycle through the colors of the rainbow. Type +glow 0 to remove all glow effects.

Access to two skins of your choosing (Currently there is only one skin in the game. More to come soon.)

$10+ Donation perks


Extra special thanks ingame

Access to all skins in the game at the time of donation, plus two of your choosing at a later date

A requested skin will be made for you, assuming it wouldn't be too crazy to make. Please note that with a few exceptions, skins will just be retextures of current models, possibly with something added. I cannot make models from scratch, nor will I attempt to.

$20+ Donation perks


Access to all donor perks, skins, features, commands, etc. that will ever be added to the game.

Please note that I need your exact wc3 username to ensure that you can use these features as intended. Names are case sensitive, so someone with the name "iMabEar" will only be able to use these features as "iMabEar". "imabear" will not work. Additionally, due to the way Warcraft III works, you will receive the features in the next map update after you donate. After donating, please leave your exact username, donation amount, and what you would like ingame (Your favorite camera settings, skins you want, skins you want to see made, etc..


And as a special way of saying thanks, anyone that donates $1 or more will have access to that Krillin skin in the above screenshot, in addition to everything else that you have paid for.

  1. Nice to see some updates! very nice... if you can please move Gohans circle in HBTC slightly to the right. at the moment ifyou patrol goku and someone patrols gohan... the one patrolling goku will always run to gohan, or clone-gohan will run to the guy patrolling goku. its just slightly too lose

    1. There's a patrol tactic for that. The one for vegeta doesn't aggro but the one for gohan does.

      The one patrolling goku shud patrol on the left side of the circle, the one patrolling vegeta on top/left (not right) and the one patrolling Gohan should patrol the top right corner of the circle . That way gohan will not aggro and goku as well . (I have tried it most of the time it worked out that way, I don't remember if it didn't, but yeah its hard to direct other people in pubs)

  3. hope you get some donations

    don't forget to put a message on the auto hosting bot and into the map ! a message showing like 3 times during the map, one at start, one in the middle (when it should be calm, dunno the timing though) and one at the end of the game

    1. That wouldn't be as helpful as it would be annoying. 1 time message sure, but it will get annoying when u recieve like 3 each game you play.
      I agree on the message thing for donation dont get me wrong, I just disagree with it being frequent. Maybe at the start of the game write someting like : "If you'd like to have custom settings or a skin, we're accepting donations as they're currently the main source of income for the map development. Check out dbzte.blogspot.com for more info on the perks you get for donating ! "

    2. Not really a message 2-3 times under a 30-60 mins game is not really that much lol. it would be like this 1 message at the beginning 1 at 30 min (or whatever we see fit) mark or so and 1 at the end so if the game is shorter than 30 mins than 2 messages and if longer than 30 then 3 messages

    6. I don't really have a say in what the bot does. I'll have information available in the loading screen as well as that the start of the game. I'll also add a donor help command to explain why these features exist and how to use them.

    7. Mikupa: if you're seeing this, I don't know that I can do what you ask. I've emailed you regarding the matter.

  5. Can you change the first saga's timer to PolledWait() from SleepAction(), the former is more accurate.

    1. The first saga isn't on a timer anymore, iirc. It spawns when the first player hits level 10.
