Sickel Revival Project, Time to Die

 The primary aim of SICKEL Addon is to be the add-on to Starcraft that Blizzard would have done after Brood War (if they had done one). Hence to this end only new units and structures will be added to complement existing units. Some of the base units may be redefined to solve balance and usage issues. SICKEL Addon is not setting out to be a total conversion like Warcraft3 TC, or any of the Star Trek, or Star Wars TCs .... its aim is to be an add-on to Starcraft Brood War. After the project dieing off in early 2001 the modding community was left shattered and without direction. Mods continued to be produced. But all lacked true greatness. Now is time for the revival. NOTE: UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD DATABASE IS UP THERE WILL BE NO DOWNLOAD LINK! Info Pizuscag along with some members of the Spanish starcraft community have started to revive sickel. Using a scavenged PAT and CWAD we plan to remake this mod with all the most recent modding tools. Progress Due to the fcat that there are differnces between modding tools, file types, starcraft versions, etc. We are currently only in the ALPHA stages. Complete: Basic terran Goals: Basic zerg Basic protoss Bugs: ALOT! Units  1 - Zerg Behemoth 2 - Zerg Cerebellum 3 - Zerg Plasma Bug 4 - Zerg Demoness 5 - Zerg Infested Terran 6 - Zerg Underlord  1 - Zerg Devourerdor 2 - Zerg Guardiandor 3 - Zerg Hydrador 4 - Zerg Bersurka  Zerg Dark Swarm  1 - Protoss Tempest 2 - Protoss Syviol 3 - Protoss Air Mine 4 - Protoss Nemesis 5 - Protoss Corvette 6 - Protoss Subcarrier 7 - Protoss Destroyer 8 - Protoss Yore-Tank  1 - Terran Hercules 2 - Terran Centaur 3 - Terran BFG Tank 4 - Terran Havoc 5 - Terran Marauder 6 - Terran Armed Science Vessel 7 - Terran Scavenger 8 - Terran Ghost 9 - Terran Roach 10 - Terran Stealth Dropship Buildings  1 - Zerg Overmind 2 - Zerg Blade Queen Nest  1 - Zerg Resource Canal 2 - Zerg Rejuvenator  Protoss Nebulus  1 - Terran Trap Lasers 2 - Terran Shipyard 3 - Terran Stealth Generator  1 - Terran Isys 2 - Terran Factory Screenshots     This post was edited 5 times, last edit by pizuscag: Sep 9 2007, 4:49 pm.

Yea i remember Sickel. It was the best mod or addon or w/e ive ever played. It added a whole new way of playing starcraft and im glad to see it being revived. When Sickel disappeared of the face of the universe i feared the worse, but it looked like its coming along well
 . I look forward to when all the bugs are fixed and it works with the current patches lol. Until then i shall wait and watch the progress of this amazing mod.P.S. Mabye give a sorta finished version here when youve got a race done so that people can try it out? i REALLY just want to try the mod again XD and it might draw others if they find it appealing... just a thought This post was edited 1 time, last edit by Zekling: Sep 9 2007, 6:11 pm.

So far so good I guess.
I like some of the graphics. They seem to fit the race at the same time they are different. Some other just seem misplaced. |

Sickel was a pretty decent conversion. I have a version I converted to 1.14, but there were some annoying bugs. I don't know if those same bugs are present in the 1.07 version or if it was the result of imperfect conversion.
Oh-oh-oh, Come on now

Right now im aiming for version 0.1 Sickel revival, it will have as close functionality to the old 3.0 preview as posible. After that i will start working out bugs and MAYBE i repeat MAYBE i will be able to add new units. But even right now this mod is taking a new life. With all the optional EXE edits available in firegraft game play has been taken to a whole new level.

Lose the huge ego buddy. Mods by Lord Agamemnon and Voyager and BSTRhino and many others are full of greatness, and not to be discouraging, but seem higher quality than what is presented here so far. That aside, it looks like it's going to be an interesting add-on. Plenty of new units, so I'm satisfied. Usually I don't like add-ons, but this has enough changes to fulfill me. Usually when people make new units they don't seem to fit in graphic wise, but on a few of these you've seen to nail it down right. Good job. |

lol thanks man. Thats what happens when you take a creative writing course. not ment to be an insult to other mods. I have played some great mods since sickel died. Just advertising. |

lol over exageration is ALWAYS the best form of advertising XD lmao, but yea im still waiting here for a workable version i can just try out
 i dont care if only one race works as long as i can play it. Cant wait till you finish it!"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." - Buddha

Looks kind of crappy to me, though you haven't showed the more interesting units in action.

Don't get me wrong, Sickel is a decent conversion... I just don't think it's quite as good as pizuscag described.
If anyone wants to try my old 1.14 conversion of it, I've attached it. I see a lot of things that could easily be fixed, but I didn't have the patience. http://www.savefile.com/files/1052587 Oh-oh-oh, Come on now

Heh. I figured that's probably what it was. It just kind of came off as a little obnoxious to me. I do appreciate good writing though. |

Oh my god...this is not an add on...this seems like a TC as you have renamed so many units, or have I misread it?

Renaming units is not considered total conversion. This seems like a Heavy Conversion so far, I see nothing changing gameplay. I scoff at your arrogance. Voyager and Lord_Agamemnon (hell, even Laser_Dude's Free Market MiniMod) look like they editted more then this... This post was edited 2 times, last edit by A_of-s_t: Oct 4 2007, 4:25 am.

Anyone have the 3.0 preview? It seems all of the original sickel links died...I can convert .pat to 1.15 in FireGraft. I cannot, however, convert FG1.14 to FG1.15 T_T.
I am making my own expansion to broodwar as well. Starcraft: A New Age. BETA v1 is released. Not so pro as sickel though. |
