Would make it so much easier to watch replays sometimes and watching tournaments live sometimes too. | ||

A bunch of players don't have their 'official' names attached to their account yet because they were using joke names or whatever for even that, but once the two weeks or so have passed and they can change names again, things should start to work out. | ||

 I was watching some starladder 8 replays a while back and i often had no idea who was playing because teams changed and the names weren't their official names. On a completely unrelated note, seems like pudge wars are very close: + Show Spoiler + We're getting there boys. | ||

It's not a RTS map editor, just look how some RTS mechanics are awkward is Dota if you are playing Chen, etc. I saw some mapmaking people saying the engine doesn't handle games that are not 5v5 well, so it will be hard to make games with more people or more than 2 teams, which kills a lot of WC3 custom maps. It's also not as simple to use, which was the best thing about WC3. I mean even games that are significantly easier to mod than Dota like Half-Life, still don't have the community that WC3 customs did simply because of how easy it was to make WC3 maps. However, if they do something that's half-way towards the portal map editor, something that's a bit abstracted and a lot easier to edit then you could see that stuff. And of course they would need to work on making it handle things like multi unit selection and different team sizes. | ||

The Pudge Wars announcement was not so subtly implying the official support will be here very, very soon, and we already have leaked screenshots of it. Editing maps like in CS or Portal is easy. The issue is altering game mechanics, a RTS game is far more open to it by nature. | ||

And when I say customs I don't just mean a custom map like in an FPS game. That's more akin to just making wc3 or sc maps without custom game modes. I said like the portal editor for a reason, it's very clean and simplified, anyone can do it even more so than normal map editing for FPS. And I always say "halfway towards" for a reason. | ||

They mentioned all you need to do is press play, so it could be something outside the client that launches it and does everything else, but maybe not. The d2ware people seemed convinced it was useless to do it outside the main client. Either way, this is definatelly from Valve: http://imgur.com/a/CHdvP#1 | ||

It will certainly make a lot more people interested in making custom maps and be able to play it (if they are even browsable from that lobby, we don't know if they will just allow anything or if they have to be approved or whatever, fuck knows as it's just UI elements). But the game is still extremely difficult to mod, so what will be interesting is if something is changed in that regard when that update comes into play. | ||
