Compilation of Useful Links

[Cáno]

The link to Dark Kenshi's Hero Suggestion Template leads to the second page of that thread.
Just to make it completely flawless.

Thank you very much for pointing that out.

And yes, please let me know of any typos or mistakes I could have made in the first post. It's highly appreciated.

I think we should include the the user who makes on the guides since there could be more than one guide with same topic (like hero suggesting)

[triangle]

I think having them anonymous is the correct thing to do. There is a high level of personal attachment to suggestions on this forum that is, let's say, rather ordinary. Let's keep the guides less so.

Scrolls of Lore's Gallery of WC3 Icons (includes beta):
Gallery Format
Index Format

Useful for suggestion posters, these guys already hosted the ingame icon snapshots.

@NoThInG: As notveryclever said, I'd rather not. The lists already have a number beside them if there are more than one on the same topic, or some of their characteristics highlighted.

@Thoby: Added both, thank you for your contribution.

BTW, icon collections should be separated. It could be used both for hero/item suggestion + visuals and even remake suggestion

[Jenova-]

I don't think such a change would hold much practical use, nor make a whole lot of sense from a conceptual point of view.

Icons are listed under "Visual" suggestions because that is where they are the most relevant: The essence of icon suggestions lies in what we concretely see, since there is no such thing as "conceptual suggestions" of this kind (It is of little use to say that an overused icon needs changing if you are not providing something concrete to replace it with). And, as we know, all suggestions regarding the change of icons belong in the "Visuals" sub-forum.

However, the essence of remakes and hero suggestions lies in the actual change suggested and the conceptual content/mechanics of the hero, respectively. Aspects such as icons are of little importance (if any) in these kind of suggestions, and even when they might be a nice complement, they aren't really a substantial part of it.

In concordance with what has been posted above, icons are listed under "Visual Specifics" exclusively.

Can we add my new thread here?

I think it shouldn't be for the same reason as the SRD Thread. I think it's quite a clever thread, but it doesn't belong here. This is more like a list of sources and aides.

[Jenova-]

I am rather reluctant on adding community-driven projects, or at least those which are relatively new. This is supposed to be an objetive source of information, and adding threads such as the one you suggest could lead to troubles in the future. Furthermore, the threads here are supposed to be of help, and yours is just too new as to deem it useful or useless yet.

Also, more often than not, those threads have a great level of activity when they are first created and then just decline more and more into completle inactivity. This is not good, since this list is meant to be only for definite projects. I will not sticky it now, but in some time from now I might consider it (given that the thread is still active and is actually being helpful).

@NoThInG
Community "projects" aren't exactly pointed out as Useful Links (not that it isn't) Its just it's not in that category of helping out others in a way generally, but in a more specific way.

Hi jenova, i think u should add thesaurus site to provide our people to get name for their suggestion.

[Jenova-]

Do you really consider it vital? I have never had any trouble in thinking up a name, and I don't think others do either. A suggestion can always be created without a name, and ask the community to help on that.

In any case, names are not even important to begin with. They are just a nice addition to the suggestion, like background stories or icons (in hero suggestions).

What about (a link to) a thread containing some few uncodeable/"IceFrog says NoNo" changes, it would help a lot.

[Foede]

You mean something like this?

Also from this , some "off-limits" changes if there are any.

And yes please, those could really save time on suggesting something.

I do think that's a very useful link. Perhaps it does deserve mention.

[xy4kuz4x]

i think a links to critique or review would be nice.

i had seen like that in somewhere....

[Dejaime]

Thanks for this list, will surely be useful!!
