*Generic hate comment towards SC2Mapster*

But seriously, that does look very nice, lots of features in there.

May I suggest something that I've suggested countless times on the Starcraft 2 boards?

When a structure is 'under construction', add a floating text that clearly displays whether or not the structure was 'Killed', or 'Cancelled'.

Also, tint Terran Scanner Sweeps so they represent the player who did the scan.

Looks good though, and hopefully my ingenious suggestions will entice you to come back to this squalid corner of the interwebs. :3

Gone.

Those are both interesting ideas. However, I am reluctant to make these changes until Blizzard implements similar features in standard melee play. I want these melee maps to behave as closely as possible to true melee matches. Even when those rules are lame....

I'll keep these on my ideas list...maybe I'll convince myself that they are a good idea later :)

The reason I suggested them was because they will take minutes to implement. And will immediately make your maps better for watching replays on. I am aware yours is more of a real-time spectator type of thing, but tinted scans and floating text will still appear in replays also.

Gone.

I'm actually not sure how to implement a tinted scan. The floating text wouldn't take a long time but you'd need a timer for each one and trigger event lists don't allow for dynamic timers (like from an array), so cleaning up all that floating text would take some time.

Based on your post I'm guessing you have basically no experience in the editor and you're asking for features that you have no idea about implementing. If that's not the case, please email a map to peepmode@gmail.com. Thanks.
