I've gotten bored, so I go about solving ultimate modding techniques mysteries. Holy grails if you will. If you can recall something someone constantly asks about, but gets shot down, post said system here, and I'll try to solve it through the magic of lateral thinking. My current accomplishments are... [[color=green]✓[/color]] Unit Teleportation [[color=green]✓[/color]] Water Units & Terrain Scaling [[color=yellow]✓[/color]] Afterburners (Tentative, I'm 90% sure it'll work, but haven't fully tested.)

[quote][✓] Unit Teleportation[/quote] Depends what kind of teleportation. If you can work triggers into that it's easy. Purely iscript-wise I've already done it.

MY teleportations systems are better. Included absolutely no iscript changes and it could be used like a real spell, costed energy and stuff. Now syphon, I challenge you to modify the position of minimap displaying. That's easy, but try to make it so where you click it's actually where you go. Normally any changes to it will make it so where you click it's not where you go but X pixels left or down to where you clicked depending on how many pixels you moved it. Hell, I challenge you to properly display every elements of console somewhere else but in their places without getting black spots. And if you can't even do the last one, I challenge you to find the console elements :P

Oh, you guys are messing with exe edits. I don't know ASM or anything I can't really/don't really want to do that. I posted my Heretic script in my bible and he teleports to move around.

Firegraft exe edits, IM :P No ASM involved. And only syphon is, I didn't mess anything but a few tech requirements and orders.

I've done warp-in, changed the number of mined minerals, and changed a unit's graphic on the fly, and made a realistic fuel system for a mod I'm working on.
