I'm starting to really like those glowing minerals. I might have to steal them... :shifty:

For now, it is the largest size of techtree, which I'm planning to put ingame (menu). I will post a larger version of Earth, Mars and Superweapons Techtree when I finish them. Yeah, I know the glowing minerals are awesome. Now to work the High-Class Minerals glow, it's not looking very good.

Wait, so how would High Class minerals convert into regular minerals? Or is a seperate system all by itself (ZOMG VESPENE 2)

Triggers. They work in any Melee or FFA map. 1 High Mineral Chunk = 16 Normal Minerals.

So you extract 1 High Mineral Chunk at once? Or is it 8 x 8 = 64 O_o

You mine the chunk like you mine the vespene gas, but when you return it, it transforms in 16 minerals.

That weapon addon thing looks really awesome. I was thinking on doing that for MoH when I started, but dropped it. Seems you can read minds :P

Today I was supposed to update something... but now my mod desyncs :( I would stop making it........... but! I had an old project (unreleased for now, in beta) with that problem too, and I fixed it!!^^ I'll post updates as soon as I fix this thing. EDIT: Found, the glowing minerals cause the desync. Trying to fix em.

Yeah, I already figured it out and fixed it. Thanks anyway!

Desyncs? Please elaborate. AO has an utterly immense amount of randomized iscript entries and it has never once desynced for anyone, in the context of online desyncs. And in HK... and SK... and ITAS... and UF... and, well, everything.

Well, when the players found each other, whatever unit it was, it showed that was dropped. I changed this (script for the mineral glow): [codebox]ArbiterTribunalBuilt: playfram 0 waitrand 2 5 playfram 1 waitrand 2 5 playfram 2 waitrand 2 5 playfram 3 waitrand 8 12 playfram 2 waitrand 3 5 playfram 1 waitrand 3 5 playfram 0 waitrand 3 6 goto ArbiterTribunalBuilt [/codebox] to this: [codebox]ArbiterTribunalBuilt: playfram 0 wait 4 playfram 1 wait 3 playfram 2 wait 4 playfram 3 wait 10 playfram 2 wait 4 playfram 1 wait 3 playfram 0 wait 5 goto ArbiterTribunalBuilt [/codebox] Now it works! I suppose its because it starts with a randomizer, but i don`t know.

As far as I can remember, anything that shows up in the fog of war can't have random waits. I haven't looked deeply into it before, but I assume it's because SC is optimized not to actually do any physical updating to them if you can't see them. I think the random seed gets out of sync between computers that way. I'll take some time someday to look at it and see if my theory is right.

Oh. I found it extremely weird that random waits might explode SC (given that marines have them and all). But DoA's explanation makes a bit more sense. Too bad. I wanted to see randomly pulsing minerals.

Time for update. I've been very busy this week with some other things, but I have enough time to finish this. Here are 2 pics: [img=http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/6755/marstilesetsd6.jpg] Red Scorpion Base under attack, defending their new homeworld.

Looks nice! Out of curiosity, how did you recolor that tileset? And heh, someone actually used my missile destroyer GRP :p

I used Farty's PalEdit II to edit twilight.wpe (tileset palette). Swapped red and blue values for each color (200-254).

I must congratulate you. Far too shemxy.
