 Maybe this is also an approach for the virtual jersey initiative from TotalBiscuit? http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=368588 And maybe talking to Blizzard could help deeper integration into the client as well. I'm sure they saw it. | ||

There just needs to be better places to put them. On the UI is not great. But on a flag in the best(like Dota2) is more acceptable. People wouldn't mind a logo if it looks organic on the map. An MLG logo in the center of the map that is created with terrain details. People wouldn't mind a logo if it was on a bill board on the map or a flag. Not all of that can be done with custom maps, but finding places to put them is going to be a key part of getting teams and sponsors in the game itself. Finally, people may freak out about logos and sponsors, but don't let that stop you from putting them there. People freak out about a lot of stuff, like numbers over the nexus and the decals that Blizzard put it. They get over it quickly. | ||

At that time I will hopefully be able to offer replay casting support as well. This would be awesome since it will help push more users to use your UI. Also, congrats for the GSTL and you are getting a lot of positive feedback  | ||

Whoever takes on that task would have to design a different way of displaying logos for ever map. I am not getting paid for this, it's already a ridiculously time consuming endeavor. Yes, the logos look better and more integrated in DotA 2. There is no question about that. But there is only one map in DotA and it isn't hard to make something perfect when it doesn't require even a minimal amount of versatility. When you need to design something that works with maps and layouts that people haven't even imagined yet, it's not as simple. That said logos are going to be looked at no doubt. It's kind of a complicated issue because the general consensus in the foreigner community seems to be that the logos in the mineral lines look bad and the big transparent logos in the natural look good. But in the Korean community it's the exact opposite (at least as I have been told). I have not had a full report from Gom yet on what they liked and did not like. I noticed a couple of bugs during the broadcast as well, that will need to be fixed. Right now the priority in my mind is: Fixing the victory screen to be more appealing. Finding a way to do logos that everyone (okay most people) likes. Improving the visuals on the workers killed etc charts. There are a lot more things I want to tackle, and I am sure Gom will have some serious concerns they will want to discuss but right now those are the things that are most on my mind. | ||

The problem is that using billboards is great in say, Metropolis or maybe Daybreak...but it doesn't work very well in Whirlwind.

You should be getting paid for this, but I respect the effort you are putting in for the community and hopefully someone decides you should be working on this for them. I am pretty aware of the amount of effort you are putting in and I am not one of these people who thinks stuff can just "be changed" without significant effort. I know the logos on flags and billboards isn't something you can do. That has to be up to the map makers to have places for the logos to go and that is beyond your control. I was just putting thoughts out there of better ways to do it, since there appears to be a lot of buzz around your UI. Seriously though, take all complaints with a grain of salt. You are doing great work and everyone loves it. But there are going to be people who complaint about tiny things that many not matter, but are doing so because they know you are reading. | ||

As others have mentioned, and gameheart has already said he's working on, the victory screen and worker lost screens, etc look bad and MSpaintish. I really love the new blizzard victory screen, so if you could make it work with that it would be better. Really a combination of the two would be best because the blizzard info charts are just prettier to look at. | ||

In Dota there are logo's everywhere but I never really notice them. Here they are really standing out as an ugly feature. Just a simple flag on top of the nexus/hatch/cc with the logo on it would be better. | ||

A: This didn't end up happening. My understanding is that we had some technical challenges that would have hurt lower end systems to have two types of colors in the game. | ||

If this were included as a normal part of the map making process at any level of melee map-- would you the community like to see it implemented? I would have to go with no, unless its proven that all the extra features dont affect FPS more than few percent. | ||

I am not sure if they are going to use it again tonight for GSTL, I haven't heard from Gom at all since last nights broadcast. Not sure if that is a good sign or a bad sign. | ||
