S2 planning a custom map server?

[MANTOWN]

Ok so is S2 going to add a custom map server, (something like blizzard did warcraft 3)?

we all know that was pretty much the only reason warcraft still sells for $80 per battlechest...

[SucksToBeS2]

wow that would be so cool if they add a custom map server...
but they shouldnt save stats there ( like kd etc.) just win/loose rate would be great!
because in most mods/maps its just good to know how often a player wins/looses a match!

[Schm0ftie]

Guess no one can tell you that, except S2. You ll have to wait until they decide =)

nahhh tats bs

They are working on a platform to host your custom maps, but they have a few security flaws atm. I assume you don't want to get hacked by playing custom maps, neither do I, so give them some time to look for a solution. Soon ™

Haha Warcraft 3 Battlechest for for $80? They're like $30.

I don't think they said it's coming soon. I remember Fielding saying:


This is on our radar - sorry I didn't reply sooner

I don't have an ETA of anything, but there is some work yet needed to be done to allow our game servers to safely transition between custom multiplayer maps and the hon map (unloading certain resources etc). Basically, it's possible for modded maps to modify some core files that HoN also uses, and we need to do some extra safety-checks to make the servers switch between running a mod map or a hon map safely.

I won't say this is the highest priority right now - we've got some other stuff in the works - but it's definitely on our to-do list. We want to see these custom maps and such just as much as you guys do :smile:

So they are going to do it at some point.

[wretched_hat]

A Footmen frenzy version on HoN! GIVE! Also -> Any TD would be good. Or we could actually make Dota as a custom map :) With all dota heroes.

[STEPHEND]

guess no!

[Yukari]

They're planning one, one that was/is popular, and I liked it a lot :D

[``OmgImSoBad]

Hope they will do it. Custom maps will make HON game number 1. Just imagine how much diferent games (Tower Defence, RPG, Arena, Survivor & much more) we will be able to play only for 30$! This gonna be amasing! WC3 is very old game, but still very popular because of lot custom maps.

[Drezbie]

footmen would be nice =)

I think hon should boost this in priority it would attract a larger market, if they allowed the community to help them build their game it will of course become the consumers product. They will market for hon it will attract more consumers than they could imagine I'm guessing new heroes, alt avatars are in the making but a product is only as good as the needs it covers let us help you!

Introduce a server for us. I wouldn't mind if I had to wait for people to download as they join a match I just want to play some of the publics creations as well as my own

Boost boost boost this to the top of your list Fielding/ Oloko :)

I'm only a moderator on the forum and not a S2 staff member. There is nothing I can do for this. :(

[ECode]

IF there would be HoN - Custom Map Server , in the patch should come all custom maps, so we don't need to dig 'em here!
I mean to Maps section new thread: "Custom Map Server Maps" and everyone who wanna post his final and ready map post it there, and it will come with patch!
Get what I mean? :)
Then when you go play and check servers:
"Archer Wars map , come goggo"
etc... etc... you know :)!

[Wasassin]

i know Oloko and you do great work! youve helped me already so i do appreciate it :) i just want to test some maps out now XD ill have to make some single player stuff for the time being
