WarCraft III Maps by Antistone

Happyville

Are YOU happy?

Happyville is a paranoia-oriented WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne custom map, set in the happy town of Happyville.  This town is home to many happy people, but it is threatened by...the UN-happy!

One or more players are randomly selected at the start of the game to be unhappy, but no one knows who they are.  As you search the town, the unhappy will try to covertly kill the other players one at a time.  The rest of the players must identify and kill the unhappy before Happyville becomes a ghost town.

The map features several different scenarios, each of which contains villains with different abilities..  The scenario you play is determined by vote at the start of each game, but some scenarios can only be unlocked by meeting special conditions.

Please send feedback and bug reports to Antistone.

Changes in Version 1.4:

• Added one new unlockable scenario
• Fixed a bug in Vampire Wars that could cause vampires to appear to each other as allies.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the skill headings on the scoreboard to appear incorrect.
• Fixed a data corruption bug that occurred in the Greater Dead scenario when the Abhorsen kills a zombie.
• The Abhorsen now receives 2 gold for each zombie he kills.
• Reduced rotation threshold required to force the camera to turn quickly.

Changes in Version 1.3:

• Added one new unlockable scenario
• Implemented a new camera smoothing system, which should make small changes in camera rotation less jerky
• The leaderboard displaying current skills now disappears when you become insane (e.g. from a Werewolf's bite).
• Fixed a bug causing certain special units to show up on the minimap.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes forced the Necromancer to select a wisp during the Greater Dead game.
• Fixed a bug causing one character's special icon to display incorrectly on the scoreboard.
• Players should no longer receive "ally under attack" messages under any circumstances.

Changes in Version 1.2.1:

• Fixed a bug preventing one of the unlockable games from being correctly unlocked without a password

Changes in Version 1.2:

• Added one new unlockable scenario
• Fixed a bug that occasionally caused a computer-controlled Mystic to attack his own apprentice
• Fixed a typo in the error message displayed when the "-end" command is used but its prerequisites are not met

Changes in Version 1.1:

• Added one new unlockable scenario
• Fixed a bug preventing Mystics from being given sight of their apprentices when they die
• Fixed a bug preventing use of the -end chat command while dead
• After a Possession effect ends, all involved players will now correctly have their characters selected
• Enhanced the AI used by computer players during Employee of the Month
• Kill counts are no longer displayed in text messages at the end of a game (this was redundant with the score board)
• Fixed miscellaneous minor bugs
• Cleaned up some of the triggers to make them easier to understand and maintain

Changes in Version 1.0:

• Added new scenario: "Evil Spirits"
• Added support for unlockable scenarios.  The "Lich" and "Greater Dead" scenarios must now be unlocked to be played.  Additional unlockable scenarios are in the works.
• Player-controlled "minions" (such as thralls, undead, etc.) now have an option to switch to AI control, causing the owning player to become a spectator.  This can be used by the player, if they would rather spectate than play the minion, but can also be activated by the minion's master if he doesn't think the minion is serving his interests (one player commented that he made an apprentice in the Mystic game, and the apprentice shouted for people to kill him; that shouldn't be such a problem anymore).
• Slightly weakened the Speed skill
• Slightly improved the Stealth and Observation skills
• Employee of the Month now has a time limit
• Bots now activate Observation during Employee of the Month, which should help prevent stalemates
• Players no longer receive gold for killing their own minions (e.g. thralls)
• Fixed some minor bugs

Changes in Beta 0.9.3:

• A new scenario, the Greater Dead, has been added
• The "idle worker" tooltips have been edited to better reflect their actual function in this map.

Changes through Beta 0.9.2:

• Replaced the Orgy of Death ability with a new ability, Frenzy, which should be more useful.
• Runes of Haste now appear randomly with other upgrades.  These runes temporarily increase movement speed when picked up.
• Zombie speed increased from 50 to 75.
• Fixed a bug making the random game selection pick Mystic a disproportionate amount of the time.
• Fixed a bug causing the insanity accuracy penalty to apply to people attacking insane rather than insane attackers
• Fixed a bug causing the vampire's skill display to disappear when a computer-controlled thrall died.
• Before combat is allowed, characters are now labeled as "Safe Mode" instead of "Mechanical"
• Made changes to the game set-up triggers that should make them more reliable.
• Deaths due to remorse now get an icon in the "killer" column of the scoreboard.
• Dead players' names are no longer obscured, but they are marked as being dead, to help avoid confusion.
• Bots should now wander in a slightly more realistic fashion.
• Closed off some of the more extreme hiding places in the map.
• Minor changes to doodad placement.
• Added occasional flashes of lightning while the game is in progress.
• The Greater Dead game is almost done, but is still suffering from some serious bugs, so it's not enabled yet.
