Official Melee Map Contest

The marine and space orc aren't custom...... if you'll notice their names aren't purple, which means they are always there. NOw please put my map back in.

if in Unit editor, they are in custom units, the map is out, no more discussion about it, ouuuuuuuuuuuuuut. Bwahahahahaha... haha... i am going crazy... i am looking again at the maps today, better pray i don't find any mistakes.

Wow ElfWarfare, you know how to make order. Chaos would unleash if you wouldn't be around.

i played city of chadston with a friend n it was awsome! my votes on that map

I need to know what the problem with my map is... I deleted everything, do you understand me? I deleted all units, doodads, items, neutral units, everything. It still says it's not a melee. I need to know why... and I was also wondering if you even played my map, because if you did you would see that it is a melee. Don't give me some evil laugh or sarcasm, I want to know why it says mine isn't a melee, and why all you look at is that little word thing in the corner that Blizzard has admitted to being broken.

This morning i tried a few things on your map:

1.: Deleted space orcs
2.: Repositioned start locations that were too close to the gold mine
3.: Deleted campaign units
4.: Reseted the force settings
5.: Reseted the player settings

And after i did 5th point, WE displayed that it's melee now.
I think the problems were the following things:

- custom units
- forces
- irregular player settings

It is possible that WE f*cks up after 5000 saves, but your map was saved only 700 times.

I now check the other maps.


Oh and one more thing: my map also has a .w3x extension, so i would be pleased if it could be corrected in the list.

My map submitted, (4)FallenCity

Well I fixed it, but I can't make teams without that word saying no. (Even though Blizzard has team maps...)

You can use any unit and have it be a melee map, but yes, using costoms teams will stip the melee status off of it. If the player sides are distinctly clumped together, then as long as the host has "teams are together" option checked, you should worry about player positions.

Is this competetion coming to and end soon? if not when does it end precisely?

No more submissions will be accepted after April 17th.

Well.... i have gone through most of the disqualified maps, and.....
The most of them were disqualified for using a foreign language editor.
Yes, an english WE sais it's not melee if the trigger "melee initialization" has a name like nahkampf initialisierung. When i renamed the trigger and the category it no longer said it's custom.

In most of the disqualified maps this was the case, but i havent tested all of them.

I could care less what the world editor says. If it has a gold ring instead of a silver one around the player number on the map select screen. It's out. plain and simple. What's important is that the GAME registers it as a melee map.

Well you may be right. I only checked the WE melee status.

ya... mines probly not anywhere near winning... ohwell... i didnt fill it up with stuf like normal cause i was worried that i would reach the maximum doodad amount and then i would have part finished doodads. The cliff area i could change but its too late now, ohwell. (as far as i understand i cannot update my map so im screwed)
