Bulletin: 10/28/2013 Welcome new Admin Amargaard

## 10/28/2013: News Bulletin

**10/28/2013:**Congratulations Amargaard. For showing perserverance and dedication to the wiki, you've shown that you have what it takes to make this place a clean, informative environment. Three cheers everyone! On to business.

I think that there is a distinct need here for certain pages. Any user that can tackle these projects will have my thanks. Now, currently there are two sections on this wiki. They are the Resources, and the Community. Currently we are more community focused due to a lack of effort in the resources section. I would like to impose a certain necessity on having some resources added in - however as that project is mountainous, feel free to simply add the ones you think are cool for now - we'll go back for the rest when we have the time.

EVERY RESOURCE (Excluding Icons) MUST HAVE AN IN-GAME SCREENSHOT.

Please use the current format. For an example, see http://thehiveworkshop.wikia.com/wiki/Druid\_Guide\_(Model)

Now, there are so many differernt models, skins, icons, maps, spells and tools out there that I'm not listing needed pages on resources in this post. Rather I'd like to focus the spotlight on some members we do not have documented yet. These members should go without saying due to their heavy contribution to the site, their history with the site, or their participation in the community. These pages warrant either creation or require a sever overhaul.

Ralle, Rao Dao Zao, Pyritie, Darky29, and Olofmoleman

This is hopefully just a start to get the ball rolling. Once again, congrats Amargaard - keep up the good work.

The Umbral Elite

The Umbral Elite is a group of four handlers and the strongest handlers in the Voidsect.

They are reported to wear helmets covering their faces, similar to the Voidlord. Their names are unknown.

## Appearances

### Debut

Book 5

The Umbral Elite was called upon by the Voidlord in an attempt to defeat Scorch, Hawke, Ellie, and Ridge.

They put up a good fight, almost winning despite having way less hatchamobs than the others. If not for Panda, the team would've been faced with inevitable doom. After being defeated, they nullified their hatchamob's movements as so to prevent them from being able to escape fromThe Voidlord. The team escaped after Copper used his ultimate ability: "Prismatic Nova."

He have created most likely the best of all spellbook tutorials, The Theory Behind Spellbooks. Xonok is a member of the Public Usergroup, the Medivh's Tower Community, but not a member of a single social group.

Xonok selected the Undead to be his favourite Warcraft race, and the Cult of the Damned to be his favourite organization. He likes programming, terraining, roleplaying and playing strategy games. Xonok is good at programming. He is currently working on the project called Brute Wars, a boss fighting game.

Imports

**Imported Files** are files located in maps, inserted via the Import Manager (F12 in World Editor) or MPQ Editor.

To use an imported file, one must first either re-open the World Editor then reload the map after saving; or save before referencing the newly imported file. Otherwise, it will appear as a green cube, the filler used for inappropriate models.

Blizzard Entertainment

**Blizzard Entertainment** (Often shortened to "Blizzard" or "Blizz", or by most insults from various people "Buzzard" or Buzzard Entertrashment) is the subsidiary company of **Activision Blizzard, Inc.** responsible for the Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo franchises.

A Hive bot account called "Blizzard Entertainment", which is controlled by the admins of the site, is the name featured on all of the icon resources that have been made by Blizzard for other games, mostly World of Warcraft. If a member uploads an icon based on Blizzard work, containing small or no change at all, the icon is transferred to the Blizzard Entertainment account.

## Rebranding

According to the leak from MMO Champion forum on August 11, Blizzard will rebrand as Insight to direct the rebranding of Activision Insight. There are many leaks on Activision Blizzard related games such as World of Warcraft and Diablo. This may be loosely related to Activision Blizzard and its CEO Robert 'Bobby' Kotick murdering, molesting, and other related corrupt actions (Like Ralle and everyone loyal to him and them including Meridian did on former Hive Workshop members including Blizzard game modders on December 2019 to all of the 2020s long ago) on so many employees, by conspiring them to commit suicide (or incest, rape and/or murder on their own family members, including cousins and siblings, like younger or older brothers and sisters), that they had to be investigated by random people, like Child Protection Services and more.

StoPCampinGn00b

**StoPCampinGn00b[1] (Also known as "SCN" or "Josh")** is a resource moderator of the Hive Workshop with his primary focus being moderating **Maps.**

## Personal Life

StoPCampinGn00b lives near San Jose, Bay Area, California, USA. Although having full Filipino blood, others consider him to be American or white-washed, as he enjoys American culture such as any American music and American football. He currently goes to High School and plans to major in History and Teaching.

Like most Hive Workshop members, he enjoys playing video games. As some might guess from the name, he is a regular Call of Duty player. His favorite games include Warcraft 3, Planetside 2, Madden 15, Call of Duty Advance Warfare, Star Wars Battlefront, Warhawk, Killzone Shadowfall, and Battlefield 3.

StoPCampinGn00b is a die-hard Raiders fan (American football team), users sometimes show praise or distaste towards his preference due to them noticing a Raiders logo always hanging on the top left of his profile. He goes to multiple games per week despite the Raiders having no winning record from 2003-2014. It still hurts him that the Raiders used to be the strongest team in the league, and he never got to experience that feeling.

## History

In 2009, StoPCampinGn00b began to play Warcraft 3. It wasn't until 2012 where he was interested in using the Warcraft 3 world editor through user JaypherCyanide.

StoPCampinGn00b registered at Hive Workshop on the second of April, 2013. Although he has used the site for a year, it was only then StoPCampinGn00b planned to be deeper in the Warcraft 3 community. Upon registration, he made a fatal, and stupid, mistake in skipping the anti-bot protection Hive Workshop uses. He was banned for a few days.

SCN finally has gotten unbanned and created two childish introduction threads not getting much attention. He then began posting frequently in the off-topic forums.

Over the coarse a few months, the frequent off-topic posting gradually came to an end as SCN turned to more Warcraft related matters. On May 10, 2013, a 1v1 melee map was uploaded to Hive's map section. It received high ratings despite SCN thinking of it lowly. On August 15, 2013, he created the successfully active group Strategy and Risk Players! The group was a success for months, but like most groups of today, it became inactive. As the Strategy and Risk Players! group trodded along to be the fasted growing group at the time, moderators such as Orcnet and -Kobas- noticed his reviewing skills. He then became accepted in the map reviewers group on August 19, 2013.

After 2013's September, StoPCampinGn00b became significantly less active, giving less than one review per week. This continued until the start of June 2014, where he began to contribute to the purging of pending maps selflessly.

It was in July when he created the RACC group. A roleplay arose in it, and now has 6,882+ posts.

To Be Continued (RACC, Moderator)
Models

In general, **Models** are a three-dimensional representations of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original.

In WarCraft 3 and StarCraft 2 modding, 3D models are used by units, structures, doodads, etc. There are custom models made and submitted by members in the Hive Workshop, in the Models section. There are currently 6200+ models in the Hive Workshop.

## Submission Rules

To have your model approved by a moderator, you must read the following:

* All building, destructible, item, and unit models must include a game camera or portrait model; attachment and doodad models need not.
* Building, destructible, unit, hero, attachment models must be properly animated.
	+ This may also extend to other types of models in certain situations.
	+ If the model has custom animations, they must be good and smooth. Animations cannot be too slow or too fast and must be as realistic as possible.
* If the model requires custom skin files all necessary skins must be included.
	+ Don't include standard assets if you have not modified them.
* The mesh must be clean, with no excess of unnecessary edges and no wasteful geosets or polies.
* The UV map must be decent and continuous, with as few seams as possible and without nasty stretching of the skin.
* The model must have proper attachment points.
* Attachment models must list all models for which they were optimized for (One at the very least).
* If the model is a geomerge, make sure the parts are blended properly and so they don't look like something wickedly unnatural (i.e. exaggeratedly huge heads, very thin necks/waists, etc); objects that should be attached to body parts must not float around or be attached unnaturally (i.e. a sword floating near the hand or attached to the lower arm instead of being in the fist); also make sure the UV mapping is correct and that it has no nasty stretching. If so, redo it.
* The submission must include an in-game screenshot.
* Models ported/converted from other games/sources must be submitted in the "Ported Models" sub section.
* Models for HD graphics in Reforged must be submitted in the "Reforged HD Models" sub section.
Pictures

**Pictures** can be uploaded by any logged in member on the Hive Workshop, by pressing the -button in one of their personal user albums. Pictures can additionally be given long descriptions, and reveals the picture URL and BB Code. It can also be uploaded to any of the social groups that the member is part of, or as attached thumbnails of posts.

A few limits are revealed to members when they are in the process of uploading pictures: A member can at max upload 10,000 pictures, or fill out a specific amount of space - it also appears exactly how many pictures, and how much space remains for the uploading user to use. A picture can at its maximum have a file size of 5MB, and cannot be larger than 2000x2000 pixels. The Hive will automatically resize the images to fit these constraints if possible, but the member will most likely receive better results if doing it manually.
JASS

**Just Another Scripting Syntax** or simply **JASS** is a scripting language made by Blizzard Entertainment for Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2. It is originated from the original Starcraft which allows users to create and customize their maps.

JASS are made to be without limitation from the "Trigger" functions on every maps on WC3. "Trigger" functions can be converted to JASS but JASS cannot be turned into a "Trigger" function. Most deprotected maps will become a huge lump of a JASS code.

Such links above are hidden in the Hive, inaccessible by default.
Uncategorized Social Groups

**Social Groups** in category **Uncategorized** are the special kinds of social groups, that do not fit into any of the other categories.

The 31st of August 2013 Pharaoh\_ announced in a thread called Social Groups & Roleplaying Category, that the Role Playing Social Group category was to be removed, because the site had witnessed the entire roleplaying part of the community moving to social groups instead of the Roleplaying forum, which had died out almost completely. Thus nine Role Playing Social Groups were moved to the uncategorized category after this change.

## Notable Uncategorized Social Groups

* Kaelicious - an active roleplaying group, featuring many small contests with reputation for prices.
* Random Lulzerz - the group with the most current members (233), and pictures (351).
* The Dark Prophecy - a still active roleplaying group with the most messages (42,857).

Mania

**Mania**[1] (Formerly known as "The Mad King") is an extra account, made by Vengeancekael along with the Thumper account. Vengeancekael made both for the Kaelicious Role Playing Social Group, more specifically for the roleplaying events in the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. During Kaelicious' Halloween and Christmas events, this account acted as "the Mad King", who was the ruler of Hell, and several contests were based on his evildoings. For the Valentine event, however, the account was renamed to "Mania", based on the greek goddess of insanity and evil - again with contests based on her crazy intentions. However, Vengeancekael passed the leadership of Kaelicious on to Bernkastel, and since then both the Mania- and Thumper-accounts haven't been in use, but they are oddly still members of the group, as Vengeancekael probably haven't bothered changing that.

Vengeancekael selected the Arakkoa to be Mania's favourite Warcraft race, and the Kirin Tor to be the favourite organization.

With her admin-powers, she is often the one creating social groups for people, but she doesn't use them much herself.

enjoy's signature simply says "<3 The\_Reborn\_Devil <3 :D" with blue text, and is obviously refering to the other member The Reborn Devil, who in turn refers to enjoy in his signature. enjoy selected the Night Elf to be her favourite Warcraft race, but she doesn't have a favourite organization. She likes music, spending time at her computer, and drawing.

The Hive Workshop Wiki:Policy

There are very few **policies** which apply across all Wikia. These can be found on the Central Wikia at Wikia:Category:Policy.

Other policies for this Wikia should be decided by the wiki community. It's generally best to keep policies as simple as possible, and not to introduce too many rules. A growing wiki can usually do well with a few simple policies and a lot of goodwill and cooperation.

Adding `[[Category:Policy]]` to any policy pages will add them to the policy category. This is found here.
Moderator

**Moderators** (also known as "mods") are users who have power over certain sections of duty. For example, a resource moderator like StoPCampinGn00b can moderate anything in resource sections, but have limited powers in the forums.

Currently, all moderators have chat powers. They have the ability to edit posts, delete posts, and close/open threads, be it in their respective sections or not. They have a reputation power of 12, and are the lowest type of user that can deduct reputation. They also have the power to give infractions, but as the rest of the staff, an infraction will be looked over usually before it is given.

Maps

*This article is about the WarCraft III maps. For StarCraft II maps and other StarCraft resources, see StarCraft II Resources.*

**Maps** are files that make up WarCraft custom games. They are one type of resources in the Hive Workshop. Generally, they are the projects that take the longest to finish, among models, icons and other resources.

*"It's nice to see more users attending on the most important frontline of the site: the maps section :)"*

*"Map Section > Everything in this site"*

*-Orcnet*

## Summary

WarCraft III maps has the following characteristics:

* Reign of Chaos Maps
	+ have the ".w3m" file extension.
	+ have **no** custom Destructible, Doodad, Items, Abilities and Upgrades data.
	+ custom materials can **ONLY** be imported via MPQ Editors.
	+ have more restrictions.
* Frozen Throne Maps
	+ have the ".w3x" file extension.
	+ are allowed to have custom Destructible, Doodad, Items, Abilities and Upgrades data.
	+ have lesser limitations.
	+ have access to more triggers.
	+ are typically more fun to play than Reign of Chaos maps.
	+ have more terrain types and tile sets.

## Map Protection

Most Mapmakers protect their maps from unauthorized edits. Most maps with bloated or unbalanced stats of units were generally disdained by the community. The obvious examples are DotA and Foreign Maps.

However, this is now considered to be a controversy as most mapmakers argue about map protection especially in January 21 that Blizzard won't allow mapmakers to limit access to others from opening maps with a World Editor.

## Map Ownership

In January 21, 2020, Blizzard Entertainment will now own all Maps due to the controversial lawsuit on DotA. Valve was sued due to DotA that was originally made from Warcraft 3 World Editor. Blizzard and Valve settled the agreement to keep DotA 2 as a Valve game afterwards. There's also a topic that Blizzard actually owned all WC3 maps since the release of WC3.

A custom map should not contain copyrighted materials (X-COM/XCOM, StarWars, LoTR/Tolkien, AVP/Alien/Predator, Warhammer/40k/AoS, Anime/Manga, Sci-Fi, etc.) as Blizzard will not allow owning a map with contents that aren't from them (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, etc.). Any mapmakers who violate will be banned from submitting maps in public leading to controversy and drama on their forums and other sites because mapmakers and modders can or can't lose what they made days, months, years and & decades ago over a map again.

Role Playing Social Groups

**Social Groups** in category **Role Playing** were special kinds of social groups focused on the aspects of roleplaying.

However, the 31st of August 2013 Pharaoh\_ announced in a thread called Social Groups & Roleplaying Category, that the category was to be removed, because the site had witnessed the entire roleplaying part of the community moving to social groups instead of the Roleplaying forum, which had died out. All nine Role Playing Social Groups were moved to the uncategorized-category after this change.

## Notable former Role Playing Social Groups

## History of the Social Group

It was created during 2009 by Phoonix, and many new members soon populated the discussions and added pictures to the group for several years.

However, as time passed, the group witnessed a drastic decreasement of activity, and now it is rarely used at all.

## Social Group Discussions

Many different discussions, centered around specific topics related to the Warcraft lore, adorn the thread. Most of them are created by Phoonix, but anyone are allowed to create a new discussion if permission to do so is granted by Phoonix.

Currently 9 discussions exist in Lore Lovers; War of the ancients, Current Dark Horde, The new Horde, The Allinace, The Old horde, The scourge, Draenor, WoW lore and general.

Zero Tolerance

The **Zero Tolerance** was a tragical era in the Hive Workshop's history, resulting in large numbers of members being banned, or leaving the site.

Ralle spoke out that he banned (and framed) some of the users for a random number of certain reasons out of conspiracy, tyranny, & oppression.

The truth is (since his tragic dealings with a member since the 4th to 8th of December of 2019), he accepted the new-but-unfitting Activision-Blizzard EULA alongside their new policy to Warcraft 3 and other games, like their (also Bobby Kotick's) employees do is suck men's genitals or rather, leading to crimes to conspire members (like ActivBlizz CEO does) to commit suicides or conspire them to do something bizarre-and-unfitting with their family members (direct and/or indirect incest, rape, murder, assault, etc.) evidently.

Normally, however, he is a friendly and helpful friend to those he know well. Bernkastel believes in dictatorship being the best political way to run a society if the chosen leaders have proven their worth. He is the maintainer of both the Uncategorized Social Group The Cinderfall and the Threads Social Group Witches Tea Party, which is his secret hideout for all "evil" members on the Hive Workshop. Bernkastel was also formerly the maintainer of Kaelicious, where he actually got married to Vengeancekael in the roleplay once, but he passed on the maintainership to Amargaard when military duty in 2014 forced him to spend less time on the Hive.

    Apart from those three social groups, Bernkastel is also a member of the three following; H.P Lovecraft and Cthulhu Mythos Fans, T.R.A.P. and The Dark Prophecy.

Bernkastel based his current user name on that of an ancient Chinese goddess, because he thought she resembled him well. He does not have a signature. He selected the Satyr to be his favorite Warcraft race, and the Cult of the Damned to be his favorite organization. He likes watching anime, manga, the Cthulhu Mythos, drawing, drinking red wine and doing cosplay. Bernkastel's greatest talents are creating digital artwork and doing Warcraft III terrain screenshots. Other than his Hive Workshop account, he also has a wikia-account and a deviantART account[2].

## Trivia

* Bernkastel is tied with Mythic on most official name changes - three. However, Mythic beats him in number of names; Five to Three.
* Bernkastel name changed back to Bernkastel from Xi Wangmu ~~when she got annoyed by the fact that people still called her "Bern"~~ because she is Bernkastel.

Social Groups & Roleplaying Category

The **Social Groups & Roleplaying Category**[1] is a closed thread with 1 post only, posted by Pharaoh\_ in the Latest Updates and News forum, the thirtyfirst of August 2013. It is a simple announcement, stating that due to the growing popularity of roleplaying in the social groups instead of the Roleplaying forum, which had more or less died out completely at that time, the "Role Playing" social group category had been removed. All nine former Role Playing Social Groups were changed into the Uncategorized Social Group-category instead.

Shortly before this change, the roleplaying member David had asked Pharaoh\_ if he could have a personal Role Playing Social Group for a new roleplay idea of his, to which Pharaoh\_ responded with a no, and soon after with this announcement too.
