[2021-3-21. : 11:14 pm]  Ultraviolet -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet np. I wasn't mad or anything. Just confused you first offer to play and then vanish. Confusing for sure, life's crazy around my house these days, constant distracting stuff happening[2021-3-21. : 2:21 pm]  NudeRaider -- I had already deleted my shout before he answered because I already figured it out. That's why you can't see what he replied to anymore[2021-3-21. : 1:04 pm] NudeRaider -- UndeadStarUndeadStar shouted: Ultraviolet Were you answering a whisper, or was there a question behind a nah he just likes talking to himself  ? [2021-3-21. : 1:00 pm] UndeadStar -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Ooh, I'm so glad to see a question. gas = mana for your hero in Impossible Ultraviolet, so you can upgrade your mana cap as well as your mana regeneration speed from your gateway Were you answering a whisper, or was there a question behind a ?[2021-3-20. : 10:41 am] NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: gosh sorry Nude, had all sorts of irl stuff happen right after my last shout np. I wasn't mad or anything. Just confused you first offer to play and then vanish.[2021-3-20. : 10:36 am] NudeRaider -- Also for the heroes that currently have a mana cap of 0 initially, raise that cap to 5. 5 Mana can't be used for anything but at least your mana regen starts right away so there's no confusion about that.[2021-3-20. : 10:34 am] NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: If you have any ideas on how to make things more intuitive for new players, I'd be all ears 2 suggestions: Move the upgrade buildings (armory etc.) close to the gateway. Took me a while to notice that they're there. With my allies charging into battle and losing units right from the getgo I didn't take the time to check EVERY region where there are red dots on the minimap.[2021-3-20. : 10:32 am] NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Ultimately my belief is that with system complexity, comes at least some learning curve. I tried to make the curve as easy as possible, but my perspective as developer is way different from that of the new player It's alright. It has a learning curve but nothing I couldn't figure out by paying attention.[2021-3-20. : 3:04 am] Ultraviolet -- If you have any ideas on how to make things more intuitive for new players, I'd be all ears[2021-3-20. : 3:01 am] Ultraviolet -- Ultimately my belief is that with system complexity, comes at least some learning curve.

Later I realized you start with 0 mana cap. just depends on the hero, most heroes have at least SOME starting mana, but a few have none. Yeah I'm not sure how to make all the features more intuitive for the new player, once you get it, it's super straightforward, but new folks tend to be a little confused[2021-3-20. : 2:55 am] Ultraviolet -- gosh sorry Nude, had all sorts of irl stuff happen right after my last shout[2021-3-20. : 12:46 am] NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Ooh, I'm so glad to see a question. gas = mana for your hero in Impossible Ultraviolet, so you can upgrade your mana cap as well as your mana regeneration speed from your gateway yeah i figured all that, but I despite upgrading mana regen I never got any gas.

The program still opens but when I load the map, it shuts down. Are those files neccesarry? They are not in installation folder or in starcraft folders right that's another part of not supporting remastered yet: I'm still using the dat (.mpq) files from 1.16.1[2021-3-18. : 1:20 pm] Timebones -- jjf28: It says it doesnt find stardat.mpq, brood.mpq, and patch_mpq.

They are not in installation folder or in starcraft folders[2021-3-18. : 12:59 pm] Timebones -- I understand the issues regarding the maps, but keep in mind that this is over 10 years old, and the creator is no longer availiable. I've searched for his name even in korean sites, but he stopped updating everything[2021-3-18. : 12:40 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- oh, I just saw your topic .. it looks like the map wasn't actually uploaded?[2021-3-18. : 12:35 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- (opinions vary on the merits of locking/unlocking, but the rule is based on respecting the author's decision to lock it in the first place)[2021-3-18. : 12:32 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- chkdraft should be able to open most protected maps as read-only, but unlocking for editing in general isn't allowed here except in cases like it's your own map or you have the direct permission from the author[2021-3-18. : 11:44 am] Timebones -- So before I waste more of your time, I would like to ask one last question: Is it even possible to unlock maps, or does anyone know how to? I've tried to find some software, but nothing works[2021-3-18. : 9:15 am] IlyaSnopchenko -- Hmm, unchecking "draw if cloaked" is a good idea, I think it might make it even better[2021-3-18. : 8:38 am] DarkenedFantasies -- I think a 4th reason I just realized is that the building graphics also don't become visible again when appearing in the fading edge between visible and explored fog. He changed the tileset\install\dark.pcx file to make explored fog the same as unexplored, but pretty sure he did that to be obnoxious to the player rather than attempting to hide cloaked buildings.[2021-3-18. : 8:23 am] DarkenedFantasies -- After looking at a playthrough video, since it's a mod, my guess is that they have one or more units either using a custom blank grp or cloaked & "Draw if Cloaked" off, and gave them the damage overlays for the flames. I suppose without a mod, the solution for creating them over cliffs and/or avoid collision with other units would have been to use lifted terran buildings but there are multiple reasons that make me think it's a modded unit: 1) You need detection/shared vision of the buildings and lose it to make them appear invisible, but the flames appear in direct view without any buildings flashing into existence. 2) I don't know if it's possible to get rid of the shadows left behind by the cloaked buildings without EUDs or modding. 3) None of them appear to have any collision with units walking next to them.[2021-3-18. : 7:33 am] NudeRaider -- Without having seen the map I would assume they moved the bunker away (or removed it?) which makes the illusion perfect. Can't remember how exactly the procedure works though. SEN has the answer to that somewhere.[2021-3-18. : 7:19 am] IlyaSnopchenko -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: IlyaSnopchenko It takes a special kind of shit stain to protect a map just to prevent people from looking at the triggers and learn something. If you're still interested, you could tell me what it is from that map that you're wondering about and I might be able to provide an answer. there were the burning things in some parts of map 2 (it was the only one protected) that I'd be curious about, looking like fires burning simply on the terrain. For a similar effect on one of my maps, I created a permacloaked bunker unit but I wondered if there's a better way.[2021-3-18. : 3:31 am] KrayZee -- ZycoraxZycorax shouted: Unless it's in Korean or Team Liquid. Back in the day I always thought it was cool playing random UMS maps and recognising the name of the creator (which in 95% of the cases meant someone from SEN).[2021-3-18. : 2:34 am] Ultraviolet -- I dunno if I feel quite that strongly about it, but I do agree techniques and knowledge are meant to be shared heh[2021-3-18. : 2:20 am] DarkenedFantasies -- IlyaSnopchenkoIlyaSnopchenko shouted: That, and to protect some of the know-how. I know that was the case with one map in The Critter Campaign. There were things I would've loved to see how they were done. It takes a special kind of shit stain to protect a map just to prevent people from looking at the triggers and learn something. If you're still interested, you could tell me what it is from that map that you're wondering about and I might be able to provide an answer. |
