What'd you mean by "the upgrade structure" and "upgrades on the hero" ?
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

luzzI'm against having all the upgrades in separate places, but if guys decide it would work better through dialog ahli and I can create this.
I would however like to keep the upgrade structure and not have any upgrades on the hero. To have upgrades on them would require submenus which I hate, and can be annoying when that is the only unit you are using, because f you get attacked while you in a submenu, then you can't cast abilities, you can't move, the regular annoying stuff. It is also easier to just show and hide abilities on the upgrade structure than it is to put the upgrades on the hero (I think, ahli may find it easier to put the upgrades on the hero).

UnholyUrineWhat'd you mean by "the upgrade structure" and "upgrades on the hero" ?
Their benefit is that you can use hotkeys for them in the way you know them.
@Upgrades on the hero
I think luzz misunderstood what we had in mind. Luzz describes it as the submenu like the page where you select which building you want to build in the SCV's command card.
I just briefly sum all possibilities up:
- Dialog windows appearing on the sides of the screen with buttons there to open/close them.
-- Takes a lot of space on the screen.
-- Unintuitive to use hotkeys for that -> slow - Upgrades on the hero in submenus of the hero (wc3 style)
-- you lose access of the ability hotkeys while upgrading.
-- cluttered, if to many different upgrades possible - Upgrade building somewhere placed at the edge of the map (scbw style)
++ most intuitive for most players to have a building hotkeyed for upgrading
-- cluttered, if to many different upgrades possible - Upgrades on the unit's info area
++ most upgrades are next to the place where you get the info about how you are
-- hotkeys possible, but not intuitive
-- small delay while updating the button's state on switching selected units - select stuff by moving a unit around
-- this is madness. this is sparta. - dialogs + custom layout
++ all upgrades and buttons are wherever you want them
++ can use hotkeys and buttons
-- a lot of work as it needs a custom UI
- will be easier to to do when HotS is out, but not impossible to do now
There is a map on EU that uses a dialog above the submenu in the hero to upgrade spells (made by burne). I've never noticed the lag there, so I will give the dialog elements on unit info a shot. Maybe it's cool.
Since we are in the testing phase we can actually implement most stuff and see which way is the best.
At least I want to see how the buttons on the screen feel and work out on battle.net.

DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!!!! I DEMAND IT!!
I'm not sure what you mean by Dialogue boxes. Do you mean something like Jack's UI draft, where the spells are out on the main screen rather than in a tab?
Btw, how would hotkeys for upgrading spells work? QWER and ASHT is already taken up.. Btw, is fourth spell and burrow the same hotkey (R)? I don't think i've ever tried the ultimate spell of a hero yet :$

dialog + custom layout is required to do something like in the video or how it is in Jack's old sketch
Made burrows hokey be "B" xD good call unholy.
We can make custom UI, but from what I saw its really annoying, and yes, it will be much harder than leaving it as is. Why would it be easier when hots comes out? Is it because we can make our own art? Or are they adding a way to change it without rewriting the base assets of the game xD

errors in Vision during night, wrong base being visible
I wish I would be on US server to be able to test & see the current map version in multiplayer.
Unholy, can you try to be more specific on appearing errors? Make a screenshot (hit printscreen), if you see one to memorize them.
For example at top warpgate, I have no clue what could cause that error you get. I don't know if it's actor, I don't know if it's trigger, .... I don't know if the animation was playing, I don't know if you could capture it regardless of the error, I don't know which team you were on (south/north).

>be faceless void >mfw I have no face
The base being visible means the temple, the three warpgates around it, and the three sets of cannons should all be visible.
Although in TS1 each base had an ectended set of cannons which weren't visible; I forget if TS2's terrain would accomodate for something like that.

Fix'd and added one thing that I forgot to put down.
None.
I'm almost done with the changes I'm going to make, I'm currently looking into a way to make the probe be able to control a pylon without unpowering the nearby buildings. I'll send the map back to ahli when I'm done.
None.
Okay so I was working on the terrain.
I didn't change any of the cliffs, mainly focusing on aesthetics
I did, however, added a lot of "Curtain" doodad, where people can easily hide at night.
South Base and the whole area now looks really jungly
Top Base showcases a lit of bits and pieces of what was left behind and has since been swallowed by sand
I've put Curtain doodads next to Several choke points. The pic is from the top path, near the infamous choke area that Jack has nicely recreated in SC2
For Contrast. Also, there're fishies there :3
Important ones at Mid. The ones circled in red are perfect hiding places for punishing people who've tried to capture the middle.
The ones circled in yellow are for extra protection for when you try to snipe people from the top cliff (not gonna help much tho)
Another interesting one down at south. South has more curtains than north, so beware of ganks when you're down south during the night.

How does the UI feel? does it work it isn't it useable online?
I haven't had a chance to try it with other ppl yet 
I just worked on the terrain.
I'll get back to you on that

None.
Are u changing the UI as well then? Not just the terrain?
Also, I don't think the line of sight blockers block vision of units in them, just units on the other side, so I don't think they will work if they are directly on the wall.

@Luzz
Explain which ones you think will have problems
I've already tested it with Mutant (using night vision) and most of them work fine.

Ok nvm then, we will find out soon enough.

That's a testing mechanism ahli implemented to test warp gate math, either me or him can remove it easily.

NudeRaider -- Dem0nDem0n shouted: who said you were crossing a line
NT kinda did UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: I always thought it was kind of messed up to impersonate someone without their permission, but I guess that's artistic license for you. When you get into the realm of using AI to do it.. it seems even worse to me, but I'm not sure why

Zoan -- and tbh no, this is exactly the type of thing ai should be used for. Now if you were monetizing it, I would say you should emohasize you used ai for the voicelines[2023-12-08. : 2:24 pm]
Oh_Man -- but if i want to make a LOTR map and use AI generation to give aragorn etc more voice lines am I now suddenly crossing a line? wen did we get so snowflakey[2023-12-08. : 2:23 pm]
Oh_Man -- well we been doing dodgy stuff in SC for ages playing resident evil and helms deep maps - we dont own the rights to them[2023-12-06. : 8:46 pm]
Ultraviolet -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet absolutely. You can count me among those folks. 
But I understand it. It's a silly name only kids find funny. However to know that and still own it that would be the manliest move in my eyes.
Yeah, I can appreciate that perspective. I've used so many handles over the years, I think I had less attachment to NerdyTerdy than some of the folks here. Just never changed my name much here cause it was expensive But I understand it. It's a silly name only kids find funny. However to know that and still own it that would be the manliest move in my eyes. I still kind of like the NT name, but definitely prefer Ultraviolet. I think UV has been my handle for around half my life at this point O.o[2023-12-06. : 6:34 pm]
NudeRaider -- So the question is will we as a society become resilient against these forms of attacks? Either by detecting or accepting? Find new ways to deal with it? I guess we will have to wait and see.[2023-12-06. : 6:32 pm]
NudeRaider -- da real donwanoda real donwano shouted: Society is not ready for the AI power we're being given. I'll die on that hill.
"social media" is imo a much better example for "society was not ready for it". We haven't seen yet where AI will lead us. It has a lot of potential for good, but then again, so had social media. For now the only potential for abuse in AI that I see is in forgery of various kinds.[2023-12-06. : 6:26 pm]
NudeRaider -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: guys what are your thoughts on AI voice cloning vs someone doing impressions. why is one moral and the other immoral? or do you think both are fair game
For me it's the intent that make the difference, not the method. If you copy someone for profit or harm, then that's immoral. If your goal is satire then all bets are off. I think people are just afraid to be deceived because AI removes skill from the equation and painting AI usage as immoral is their weak attempt to defend against it.
