[Aequinox]

Hero Template, using the Admiral as an example

Admiral
Kunkka

Background Story: Of all the allies in the Sentinel's ranks, only one, is known by as many names and is feared in as many lands. Called Capt. CoCo by his mates, Jacksparrow by others, The Legendary Mariner by some, but only a select few know his real name and what it stands for. He can harness the powers of the depths to conjure torrential geysers that blast his enemies into the air. His elegant blade is sworn to the Seas and with each mighty swing it ebbs like the tides. Using a watery form of spacial magic, he can bring you back to your original destination. The Captain now sails towards the Scourge lands, aboard his Phantom vessel boosting the spirits of his comrades with his fabled Rum, paving the way for the victory of the Sentinel. He is Kunkka, Master and Commander of the seven seas.

Ghost Ship - (Active, Point-Target, Affects Self/Allies/Enemies)

____________________

The admiral summons the mythical ghost ship S.S. CoCo to the battlefield. Allies are doused in Captain CoCo's Rum, inebriating them for 10% bonus movespeed and numbness to incoming damage, causing them to feel only half of the pain now and half after the Rum wears off. Enemies, pirates and scurvy knaves are dashed on the rocks for damage and a brief stun when the ship crashes.

Any comments?

We don't need this: Variables for Blank Template

Only small explanation at BLANK is enough.

Somewhere in this thread I saw someone talking about a "hero maker" program, which would effectively just be something you could input the information and it would automatically format the hero to the template. The list was just to assist any person who was up to the task. I'd do it myself if I knew how to.

This was me. I would expect the mods to get this made - it doesn't take too long. It took approximately 90 mins for an amateur programmer (amateur = first year uni) to write this for me, and that includes debugging time.

I really hope the mods do something similar because it'll truly save time, as well as make things much more official.

[Cp6uja]

About program, still NO! People don't even know how to use forums, so program can only give them problems. The current template is just fine! It will only cause confusion at new users, and onld users won't use it anyway.

@Aequinox
Not to be rude or anything, but the template just looks really unappealing. I prefer DK's.

Its a good idea though that all are coming together to create new templates.

[AbyssPetra]

lmao, got turned down for being too shiny. would look way better if the [table] background colour were black xD

[king_james]

Its not too shiny. Its just too... crooked. The template i meant, the way the tables are going weird.

What are you talking about? The tables are perfect!

Also, care to post better version, or I'm making this contest finished.

[king_james]

If you look carefully at the top of the Labels, there are some cells that are empty which look weird with all the excess lines. Its good. But not appealing for me, that's what I meant.

Good luck to the templates.

That's my point exactly. People don't know how to use forums. This way, they don't. They input info into fields, click code. Open the notepad file and copy paste everything. End of story. It's easy, looks great, puts an end to walls of text, noobery and inexperience. It evens works out the point system (converts str points into health, int into mana, agi into armor, etc). I bet half the people on here don't even know how much health one str point gives, amirite?

On top of that, you could make people accept the rules before using the program to post suggestions. IMO, it's a little bit of effort that would solve so many problems..

[Cp6uja]

If you have that program, you can use it whenever you want, but making it official is not a good way. 90% of users can and will use the regular template, as its really easy to edit it. Those 10% who don't know anything about suggesting, well, they don't even need to suggest heroes. Not all users want to suggest heroes, they should start with small things like Visuals or Others.

This topic served its purposes. I'm calling the official PD template for suggesting heroes:




Admiral
Kunkka

Background Story: Of all the allies in the Sentinel's ranks, only one, is known by as many names and is feared in as many lands. Called Capt. CoCo by his mates, Jacksparrow by others, The Legendary Mariner by some, but only a select few know his real name and what it stands for. He can harness the powers of the depths to conjure torrential geysers that blast his enemies into the air. His elegant blade is sworn to the Seas and with each mighty swing it ebbs like the tides. Using a watery form of spacial magic, he can bring you back to your original destination. The Captain now sails towards the Scourge lands, aboard his Phantom vessel boosting the spirits of his comrades with his fabled Rum, paving the way for the victory of the Sentinel. He is Kunkka, Master and Commander of the seven seas.

Ghost Ship - (Active, Point-Target, Affects Self/Allies/Enemies)

____________________

The admiral summons the mythical ghost ship S.S. CoCo to the battlefield. Allies are doused in Captain CoCo's Rum, inebriating them for 10% bonus movespeed and numbness to incoming damage, causing them to feel only half of the pain now and half after the Rum wears off. Enemies, pirates and scurvy knaves are dashed on the rocks for damage and a brief stun when the ship crashes.

2	200	100 sec	1000	400	6 sec	1 second stun, 400 crash damage, 10% MS bonus, half damage now half damage after skill wears off.
3	250	100 sec	1000	400	7 sec	1 second stun, 500 crash damage, 10% MS bonus, half damage now half damage after skill wears off.
