Is there any way to make Psi storm do more damage, or make the optical flare spell do damage? I have seen the Storm spell do more damage in some maps, but im not sure how to do that. Btw i use smcdraft

Not without modding or using unused upgrades (not recommended).

Unknown Upgrade 60 which even though little is known by me about i know for a fact not only does this upgrade increases

Building defenses
Storm Damage
Worker Attack Damage
Plague Damage
Irradiate Damage

For other effects I don't know, all i know is this is the only unknown upgrade that does anything and that this upgrade works only on things that cannot be upgraded by normal means except maybe protoss buildings (unsure)

so how much does the damage go up per upgrade? and what do you mean building defences

I think each upgrade adds +8 dmg to storm.

nevermind, i got it. where do you upgrade that at? i cant find anything listed as unknown upgrade 60, i found a few unknown upgrades, but there are no where near 60 of them

It's at the bottom of the upgrade pile.

Allow me to clarify:

There are 60 upgrades in the game. The last 10 of them are unused. The last one is Unknown Upgrade #10, or Upgrade #60. Some people confuse this and call it Unknown Upgrade #60.

iirc it increases all defensive structure damage as well as what Tempz mentioned. Also, I believe it adds the base damage to Storm as upgrade damage per upgrade. So if the base damage is x, the upgraded damage will be x + (number of upgrades)x.

I stand corrected - it is +8 damage per upgrade. That would be +1 damage per tick, and it ticks every eight frames.

Instead of increasing the damage of Psionic storm, why not just reduce the health of units to get the same net effect?

He asked how to increase the damage psi storm puts out. We are simply answering his question.

Everything you could possibly want to know on the subject. You can't make optical flare do damage.

Ok sorry Aristocrat, didn't see the end bit there. I'd suggest that saying "Impossible" as your first answer isn't really very helpful, though, because there *is* a way, and it's up to the mapmaker to decide whether the known methods are suitable for their purpose. You'll notice that I actually deleted my post from this thread anyway, but Sacrieur quoted it anyway.

Also, as rockz pointed out, the articles do still exist. All of the old wiki exists, you just have to use links from the Articles or Tutorials master list, rather than clicking on fast links on the wiki section.

Yeah, fix'd, the links from using the search function are broke.
