Temp Post #1

I have decided to start working on this again

Ideas/feedback from others are always welcome
A few bug fixes since things have changed a bunch since beta

New ideas/bugfixes that need to be done:
-Implement races (see below)
-Fix capture auto casting so it works for SCV's
-Fix morphing to not clear host
-Fix scv's auto turret abil
-Think of new races (ideas are welcome)
-Balancing
-Think of names for races

Race 1
- Description: Uses capture points only for resource collection. Has a few different types of unit production buildings. Each building can produce 1 unique unit a certain number of times. Every additional building of that type allows more units of that type. Can research upgrades for all captured points from a central research building. Units range from very powerful to very weak. Balancing is done in terms of number of units that can be created per production building.
- Buildings: TBD
- Units: TBD
- Research: TBD
Race 2
- Description: Uses capture points for every production/research building. Must upgrade basic captured points into more advanced structures to access research/production. Can construct additional defencive buildings. Each captured point gives points into food for production. Consists of mostly cheap light units with a few heavy support units.
- Buildings: TBD
- Units: TBD
- Research: TBD
Race 3
- Description: Captured points become a series of connected nodes where units can use one to travel to another. Mix of separate production buildings and upgraded nodes.
- Buildings: TBD
- Units: TBD
- Research: TBD

Sounds interesting, can you perhaps make and post a tutorial about SC2Mod files? I haven't had time to check them out personally, although I understand the theory behind them.

Oh, and welcome to SEN!

I guess I could do that; it is basically just a map but with only the data editor.

Also it looks like I have been here longer than you have :bleh:

Biophysicist Post #5

I'd like to point out that in the wiki article you wrote (http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Built_On), there's a mistake... I once made the Evolution Chamber need to be built on a Mineral Field (for teh lulz/testing) and it didn't crash when I built one. ;o

When did you test that? It might be fine with the latest patch.

EDIT: The tutorial is only slightly wrong. It requires a resource behaviour on the bottom unit or it crashes.

None.

It was on patch 10. I'll test it again, but I'm kinda talking to some people right now so I can't.

Temp Post #8

I edited the tutorial to reflect that the reason is because a resource behaviour is required.

None.
