(I'm posting this because of SMC... though I doubt this is soon enough for anyone to want to use it...)

A quick MPQDraft plugin I made a while back to edit color cycling.
Custom cyclings have wierd bugs that I havn't taken the time to look into... Apparently the pointers I edited were used for something a bit more. If these bugs become more than just funky minimap colors, I suppose I may have to rewrite the SC function that uses them...
If you find any fatal bugs, report them! I havn't touched this in a while, so I can't remember the last standing.

If you want more than 1.15.2, ask. I added support for multiple versions in the code.

4 Shows one of the bugs... the minimap appears to be an amber-ish color.
5 Specifically showing one of the bugs... again, minimap issue.

I've been fucking waiting for this. I'm going to test this out right away. I hope it can handle my over use of it.

Gonna test it right now.

Eh. I think in adding the multiple version support I raped something... The logfile says I'm trying to write to 0. O.o

Stay tuned!
(The exe still works... the qdp is just a bit messy.)

EDIT:
Fixed! Ok. Now it will work. If you are one of the three who already downloaded it, redownload.
...Should I add an explicit link to the qdp?

This program rox my sox. I give it a 5/5!

That creep's awesome!

Update!

I just added a ton of version support.

Supported versions:
1.07, 1.10, 1.11b, 1.12b, 1.13e, 1.14.0, 1.15.0, 1.15.1, 1.15.2, 1.15.3, 1.16.0, 1.16.1

Also I removed that annoying "Error: Unsupported version." dialog box in MPQDraft. (This was my first plugin... I didn't know how things worked. )

Yay for gravedigging ... I had to use Search just to find this.

I can't seem to get it to work.

I create the cycle.ccc file with ColorCycleEdit, and put it in an MPQ under the name "tileset\cycle.ccc". I then make an MPQDraft executable for Starcraft using the ColorCycle plugin.
I run the exe, I create a game, nothing is changed.

Did you change the dropdowns at the top? What SC version do you have? Do you have color cycling enabled in your video options?

Always the latest. (1.16.1)

Yes, I do. I have unit portraits disabled though.

It worked just fine for me. ;o
Wherever you ran the .exe you should find ColorCycle.log... What is in that?

It worked, but there are problems I just can't explain.

"I run the exe, I create a game, nothing is changed."? ;o

You mean like minimap problems?

No, it was the entire game. I'll have to record a video some time.

hmm, was this hardcoded or in a .dat? For scmdraft I just took a bunch of screenshots and guessed at it, which is why it isn't perfect. If you dont mind and I have time I'll see about updating those functions.

It's hardcoded data used by a function. If it was a .dat file, it wouldn't need a plugin to use it. xD
