HELP!!!!!

ok, i need someone to do me a favor!! it would bless me alot. i borrowed TFT from a friend and i kept it for a month. during that time i made a custom hero with a custom set of spells, totaly qualifying for this contest. but here's the problem. his 3 normal abilities all go to level 5, his ultimate to level 3, and i made a special one that would make the other 4 spells stronger, which means he has 5 learnable abilities. that right there makes him unbalanced, yet alone having spells that go to level 5. BUT THIS IS MY PROBLEM. I GAVE TFT BACK TO MY FRIEND, JUST MOVED BACK TO ABERDEEN, AND I HAVE NO WAY TO EDIT IT AGAIN. now, this is the favor i ask. will someone d/l the hero for me and make these spells to max level 3:
-Conflagration
-Frost Chain
-Aura of Decay
please set all these to level 3. Now, set this spell to max level 1, and required level 6:
-Psionic Storm.
If u notice in the object editor, i have 3 spells for conflagration, frost chain, aura of decay, and psionic storm. that's becuase the ability "BOOK OF THE MAGES" will swap one of those spells with another to make it more powerful. in the editor suffix for each spell i have "standard," "upgraded 1," and "upgraded 2." please delete all of these EXCEPT FOR STANDARD. Finaly, one last thing. under units in the object editor, i made 3 custom units, all named "White Spirit." i have three for the 3 levels of Psionic Storm, Please delete all of these EXCEPT FOR WHITE SPIRIT LEVEL 1. Becuase that's the unit i use for Psionic Storm.
Once you're finished, please email me at: '[email protected]' Submit this hero into the NORMAL SPELL SECTION, NOT THE HERO MAKING CONTEST!! i will continue to look for it. once i find it, ill email u back so u know when to delete this hero. i will re-submit him back here. Now, i am trusting complete strangers. I still expect u to NOT CHANGE THE SPELL DATA, the spell info, or the spell creator's name. thank u soooooo much for whoever volunteers to do this for me.

So, does this mean we can use a unit model provided by blizzard? if so, halleluah! since i cant skin or model, that would be great!

If not, damn.

=D

haha, i know dude, and im not trying to be unfair or get an unfair lead start. he just happened to fit the requirements (almost) for this competition, and i was pretty satisfied that he got the 2nd most downloads that i didnt want to reset it by submiting him again. now, read my most previous post, and i need someone to help me real bad. after u read it you'll understand. now, if someone does the editing, ill be more than happy to resubmit a DIFFERENT spell, so he'll start at 0 d/l and actualy fit entirely for this contest. infact, ill take the current wizard out of this contest category if u guys feel if im having an unfair advantage, cause i feel as if it's unfair myself. i just need someone to PLEASE!!!! HELP ME. i dont have TFT becuase i gave it back to my friend before he moved way out to the coast. otherwise i'd do it myself. just scroll down a bit to the other post i have and get directions on what to do. i would be more than thankful.

I can't figure out how to post them

Do we need to se JASS or heavy triggers?
I can't find the answers for these. If only light-medium triggering is needed, sure I'll make an awesome hero
#72

your answer

look at the very beginning of the thread, the moderator updated the rules. basicaly, there is a new section under spells called 'hero making contest' put your hero there. u can use triggers and or jass, but it needs to be neat and easy to understand. he said u will be ranked on that. u can also use just normal spells, the wizard im gonna post will not be required to have jass or triggers.

oh, slipshot, check your e-mail :wink: .

Oh, just out of curiousity, how many winners will there be? Are you going to have just one winner, or a whole gold-silver-bronze thing. Because I'll place the winner(s) hero in my arena (with permission (but yes you would get credit)), but I want to how much will turn out as winners. Oh, and how do these things turn out usually? (You know, amount of people and amount of qualitiy) (Nothing specific, I'm just curious.)

Some questions on how it will be judged:

How many/what proportion of points will be awarded for these aspects of the hero:
Hero Soundset
Hero Icon
Hero Model
Spell Icons
Actual spell effects
Spell Originiality (ie how different you actually managed to make them from 'real spells')
Map terraining

For example, if the best model i can find for my hero is alread being used as a hero (lets say a Demon Hunter) would i lose points? How about if the soundset isnt the best fit for the directly fit the hero?

I have many ideas for heroes, mind if i submit more than one? or create new accounts to submit more than one :wink: ?

Thanks for help

Teamwork such as I posted on page 4 allowed?
