Hello, it's been a long time since I've been on SEN. You guys may remember me as DrAxXuS[T] from Clan TwIsTeD or DrAxXuS(U) from Clan UnKnOwN.

I'm nearing completion (approx. 90%) of my new sniper rpg, called AZTEC. It's a 192x192 jungle tileset scenario that's jam packed with 4 separate missions and 7 unique bosses.

I need dedicated testers (preferably that enjoy playing long rpg's) to complete the map. If any of you are up for the task, you can reach me here by writing me a note with your contact information.

I can be found on ])$@useast and NyM)uNkNowN@useast. Thanks and look forward to playing.

upload the map to the database!

I'll be posting a production topic once I've consolidated all the information. For now, I'm uncomfortable releasing it publicly because I should be present for testing in it's current state, and it is unprotected.

How long does it take to test it (just to keep it in mind) ? And what time do you go on Bnet ?

I might try to help out for your tests.

I like testing stuff! My username is RPG on useast. MSG me when you're on, I'm off and on every now and then (though, fairly frequently)

The entire map will take approximately 3 hours to complete. The end of the map is incomplete though. I am pulling everything together in missions 1-3 before I begin to trigger the final areas.

The terrain is virtually complete. I'm still making aesthetical tweaks here and there.

I'll be glad to show it to you both. Hopefully without glitches. :-)

It was you in Oh_Man's channel a couple of hours ago





Alright I know how precious testing can be, I'll be glad to do it for you.

I should be on again tomorrow (my GMT is +1), so I'll try to catch with you. I'm Stranger] on Bnet US East.

Typically in the past, we'd close threads like this and ask that you look for testers either in your production topic or on the Shoutbox. So I highly recommend creating that production topic.

Yeah once you post your map on SEN it basically can't be stolen anymore. The community will always know it's your map. I might even help you test once in a while but I'm on European timezone so I'm not sure if we're compatible.

Well, everyone, I'm online and testing right now under ])$@useast. Cya there.


I'm going to make a production topic. I've just been focusing my time on the creation of the map over the fancy topic, which I will be posting later on. I guess I'll produce a short one before I log off. Here is a short video clip displaying the gameplay in the first area of AZTEC to start it off.



I just don't want to mass release it yet. I am running a prize pool for testers and the integrity of that competition would be degraded by doing so. I also feel that I really need to proactively be apart of the testings instead of trying to decipher the horde of posts involving triggerrors, lol. It'll be a miracle if I tie it all together and get what I actually hoped to achieve out of the project.

Yo It was nearly 4 a.m here when you posted '

Anyway, if tonight you are on Bnet 3-4 hours earlier, I should be too.

That looks sex. Please make a production thread or let me beta test at donuts

I guess it's also time for me to attempt to get brood war to work on my pc again. Hopefully no one took my username.

Thanks. I'll be glad to test anytime. I'm still working on my prod. thread.

Anyone available to test?

Also, does anyone know how to fix "desync" drops? Restarting broodwar seems to fix it temporarily, but it's a hassle. Has anyone even heard of these?

Most desync's result from using something extended (EUDs (for details see: EUD Sync), extended units/players, disabled units), certain doodad/doodad based sprites can also cause desyncs under some circumstances (found this once with jungle tree tops (pure sprite #27) on map load).

Interesting...

I used enabled civ sprites to stack civs at the store. Could that be the issue?

I looked up all the units sprites and I haven't used pure sprite #27. I have, however, used #'s 127, 21, 22, 245, 30, 303, 308, 321, 38, 393, 386, 51, 53, 54, 55, 60, and 15. Any of those known to cause them?

Dunno, best to try removing stuff that's suspect (like sprites) and see if that helps - you can usually narrow it down by asking yourself when it occurs (just after game starts or somewhere in the middle) and what events happen just before the desync.

Good thinking.

It's at the beginning, but not immediately. I think it's the enabled civilian sprites. I guess it will be something I'll have to live with...

Thanks, jj.

EDIT:
Next question (and sorry for the double post)

I was reading something the other day about "the best" black unit color #, but I can't seem to find the topic where I read it and I don't specifically remember which # it was.

Which # is best for black?
