Mana Bars
« on: April 07, 2010, 18:47 »
Warcraft 3 Manabars is a tool which allow players to see Manabars of their Heroes and units in game, just underneath HP Bar. Normally, Warcraft 3 does not have option to view the Manabars of the units. This tiny piece of program will surely help DotA-Allstars players to check the manapool of their opponents during Battles, chasing, ganking etc.

does -ah command supports that ? Cause I know that if u use war keys program that u might get disconnected after -ah. But it would be great to see opponents's mp without clicking on them

It is legal, I checked ofc... I just checked it's even legal in some of the leagues!

-ah supports it!


It's just like DotaKeys... just a help, nothing more, no point in being illegal!
Anyway, we choose if it's legal here...

I was always thinking that war keys and similar programs are for lames. Clicking is also player's skill. More it is old school play more I like it :P Now it would be more easier for noobs  :)

As I said, we choose if it's legal here... Somewhere is legal, somewhere's not... But it isn't written anywhere it's illegal, and we can't prevent it, since we can't know if anyone's using it!

Haven't tried it yet but I certainly will. Dunno whether so many bars would affect playing but if this is a cons then there must be many pros of it. Looking forward to see it.

rofl see the mana bar of the opponents ? just like in heroes of newerth ? are you kidding me ? do you realise what an advantage would be for someone who is chasing or something ? to easily see if he has mana to stun or etc, this is bullshit. just like dotakeys or warkeys or whatever
clean old school play ftw

Tried it yesterday and it's kinda IMBA... Now you don't have to look at your hero profile to see your mana, you just focus on the screen play. IMHO, tool which most of pros will dislike, since it allows average or even noob players to see what most of them don't even check during the game (mana points of their enemies).

Although it shouldn't affect someone's play since pros differ from noobz in the ability of controlling their hero and using his abilities to max. Noobs can't get advantage vs pros or semi pros even with this gadget.

This tool isnt any cheat.
Blizzard should code it into standard W3.



Also numeric bars like this one from WoW invented ages a go should be implemented. You see even exp bar, but in W3 this isnt allowed I think.

On this one you have buffs and debuffs icons wich might be useful aswell. There is channeling bar with name of the spell (Incinerate) during casting.

well it is a good idea, but i think u oversteped some boundaries... yes there should be mana bars but not with numbers or something...it is too cofunsing to put, health bar, mana bar, exp bar, numbers on each bar it will only distract u from the game play...only health and mana bars should exist without numbers and when u click the hero there u can see the numbers..anyway i support this kind of change..

Some programer with skills might write "bars program" with switchable things like aditional NUMERIC BAR, aditional EXP BAR, aditional BUFF BAR, etc.

this shouldnt be legal ;) its just dumb. coming up with stuff that ease your gameplay ... just fucking play it as it is. and you will get better. dont come up with random crap to buff up your play.
