That won't work. It's like telling kids if they're going to rough-house around, then play outside.

Nah, it will work. A new topic is better since it is its own topic dedicated to the discussion and it makes more sense to do it that way.

lil-inferno, if only you can add me through MSN (Windows Live Messenger), I'm willing to give you the zip file containing a few amount of maps if you still can't download anything from the download database.

Or, alternatively, you could just upload the zip on www.mediafire.com

No thanks.

It takes about one minute .

Fine. http://www.mediafire.com/?odotnmxluds

There you go.

Well, if this is too simple for a concept map I have another one.

It implements the idea of shareing resources between players. I know that resources' transformations is not a new thing but I've never seen the realization of shareing resources idea. This could be successfully used in melee-type games.

The map: http://webfile.ru/1918721

I didn't have the time yesterday to sift through all of those entires, sorry. I'll most likely get it done today.

Oooh, I didn't look at the map, but I assume that you detect when a player has more or less resources than the others, you reset their minerals to match that players, I like it, it's smexy

Resource sharing has been realized by me and Antisleep. Where you been at? We had a whole discussion of it at maplantis, and it's in the maplantis wiki.
Resource Sharing

I had originally used the "most/least" and 2 computers to do this, but it requires 2 computers to do. The new method works with no computers, and I put it into a Space Pirate War map I edited. Have a look if you really want to.

Wow! Haven't known this Very interesting... Thanks! I'll have a look at the map a bit later.

Btw, I've just released the first (raw) version of the compiler for the MacroTriggers language I've designed for more convenient triggers codeing. Have a look at it at warbox forums (http://www.warbox.us/viewforum.php?f=45) and say what you think of it.

Really? I can't believe you guys made it like that at first, I don't see any reason to, it's quite simple to do it without computers.

So Wormer, what does the language look like? Is it like:

C:
Player 1 brings 4 Terran Marine to Anywhere
A:
Kill All Men at Anywhere for Player 1

or what? I could write a Notepad++ file for it if it is, I've been wanting something like that.

No, I did it that way first, because its even more simple to comprehend than the other way. I had never used binary countoffs before that, so it's a learning experience when you do something new.

Well, Falkoner, I haven't got much time to describe it in all details now, but in general it is SCMD-like triggers synthax:

However it is typized language. For example you can't simply specify the integer number one in the OWNERS section. Inbuild operator @P constructs a player from the number one, the same applies for units, locations and etc.

You can define variables to use them in your triggers.


The language allows you easily multiplie triggers. One can specify binary countoffs like this:


There is a number of other features.

Thanks, I already have a Notepad++ synthax. There is a link to the archive at warbox. Have a look at it.

I just don't want to spam the ladder again Let's move the discussion to warbox forums:

Edit:
Well, I think I can do something like the natural language synthax if it is really nessecary. But I just think it is simplier to write triggers in function-notation...

I've come to the realization that every idea that I can think of (that isn't so incredible that only I could think of it) has been thought up and created by somebody else.
In other words, lots of people make stuff that nobody else knows about.

I meant that I'm surprised they did it the way they did the first time, since the way they ended up doing was exactly what I first thought of.

Okay... sorry but I HAD to bring back to life that topic TOO because it rocked
Inferno, you've got some work to do on it since there's many more test maps that exists in the DLDB now
Oh! And forget about the reward system, it's just dumb.

I just don't have the time to continue this :-/, someone else can.
