Beta 071

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.

In-depth donation information

Here are some of the new donor features in action.

LUSS Broly with an Incredible Hulk inspired skin doing stuff.

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.

A black colored Vegeta with a dragon ball 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. You may opt out of this. Just let me know if you do not want your name appearing ingame.

$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.

• Broly regenerates a base 10 hp per second, up from 3.

Beta 070

Serious time: 

For the tl;dr crowd: I need money to be able to continue development of the map and am accepting donations. Anyone that donates will gain access to a variety of ingame perks that do not directly affect gameplay.

For the people that like reading walls of text: I've dedicated a very significant portion of my free time over the last several years to the development of this map. Admittedly, it is still far from a perfect product. There are plenty of changes that not everyone agrees with. It's impossible to please everyone, no matter how hard you try. At this point in time, I'm finding it hard to continue development. I've devoted countless hours to creating new content, testing for bugs, fixing bugs, playing the game, getting a feel for the balance of the game, editing models, creating spell and particle effects, optimizing and rewriting old systems, creating new heroes, developing interesting and unique game mechanics, brainstorming ideas, etc.. I've done most of this work by myself (Shout outs to Sean_D for some things and the creators of most of the character / doodad models, though. You guys are great.). I've not asked anyone to do things for me and I've never asked for money. I am very passionate about this map and I do not want it to die out. Of all the games I've ever played, this is the one that I keep coming back to. There's just something about it that no other game I've tried has been able to replicate. I'm hoping that there are at least a few people out there that feel the same way. With that being said, I have a question:

If I introduced cosmetic things that have no effect on gameplay (New skins for heroes, custom auras, the ability to change the color of units you control, automatic camera settings, and other such things) for people that donate money to keep the game alive, would anyone be willing to donate? Here's the basic idea:

Donation tiers:
$1+: Access to preset camera settings based on your wc3 username, in addition to your name being credited in the map. (The game will automatically set your camera distance and angle to your favorite values and turn tips off.)

$3+: Everything from the previous tier, plus the ability to apply any visual aura to your heroes. (Give Tao a green aura, as an example).

$5+: Everything from the previous tiers, plus the ability to change the coloring of your hero's models to any value you desire (There may even be some fun ones, such as a hero that cycles through the colors of the rainbow) and access to a character skin of your choice. (Currently there are no skins, but it would work similar to how Cooler's -body 1, -body 2, etc. system works.) 

                                       This is just an example. FT, Alien FT, Negative-FT, Black FT.

$10+: Everything from the previous tiers, plus access to all skins in the game at the time of donation, and you can create your own skin and aura (For technical reasons, I cannot make a black aura. Custom auras can also include a light source for an impressive ingame appearance.). Skins are limited to recolors of the existing texture for now. And at this point in time I'm limiting the number of skins to 4 per model. This donation tier may be limited due to map size constraints, so it may not be available forever. But I will notify everyone when that is happening and replace this reward with something else.

$20+: You get everything from the previous tiers, plus access to all cosmetic features that will ever be added to the game. Every skin, aura, saved setting, model coloring, lighting effect, attachment (hats and weapons, anyone?) will be available to you. You will receive special thanks in the game.

So, who wants to keep the map alive and receive some cool stuff in return? Just hit up this donation button and let me know your username, donation amount, and what you'd like to receive.

$1 donors: What are your favorite -cam and -ang settings?

$5 donors: What hero skin would you like? If one doesn't exist, it can be created. Just give a description of what you'd want it to look like. Additionally, is there any animated color effect that you'd want? (A hero that flashes from red to purple to blue and back, just as an example).

$10 donors: If you'd like a custom aura, describe the color and appearance of it, and whether you want it to have a light effect or not. Additionally, let me know what skin you would like to see made.

$20 donors: Anything I can do to make you happy, just ask.

                                                           

ON TO THE MAP. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE BOT AS SOON AS THE BOT OWNER UPLOADS IT.
