10/6/18:
Map 3
-Added a shared expansion to the upper left for orange and olive
-Disabled resource persist triggers for the lower right orange expansions
-More script fixes
Map 5
-Now supports singleplayer
-Fixed portrait for Duke transmissions
-Re-added backstab goliath in micro section
Notably I can't test map 5 in multiplayer mode since the triggers that set up the intro are owned by p1, and I don't feel like reworking them so they work fine with another player. If anyone runs into issues playing that mission in co-op let me know.
13/6/18:
Map 6
-Now supports singleplayer
-Removed siege tank in Raynor's base; replaced with two goliaths
Map 7
-Now supports singleplayer
Progress has been made on map 4's singleplayer update, and today I spent almost 7 hours on map 9's layout. If all goes well, the next map will be released before June's end.

Thanks for the briefing report. I updated the map with a fix a week ago or so, can you tell me the creation date of the mod file you're running?
|
The date is 2018-06-23 15:34, I'm playing on old CPU (i3-540) maybe that is the problem, I will try on different machine and let you know.
EDIT:
Yes, the problem was my PC, managed to finish the map on another machine without any issues
|
My question is, can you make it so unlike the other hard mode map, when you go to attack one point the ai doesnt pour every unit from all over the map on you? literally hit 1 pylon and everything attacks you.
provided you win this battle(unlikely) you just win the game since they have no units

Ok, if you encounter it again let me know. There was an issue where the game would freeze, but flat-out crashing to desktop shouldn't happen.

That's due to absence of define_max limits in the AI used in those maps. That doesn't occur in mine. If you find instances where you feel like this behavior is exhibited, let me know/send me screenshots/videos/etc.

This update brings a host of updates for maps 1 through 9 ranging from minor corrections to gamechanging bugfixes. It also sees the debut of map 10, The Hammer Falls, possibly the only good map in the entire project. Going forward, Rebel Yell's updates will be limited to simple bugfixes, as I have no plans to do anything more with the project this year. I do plan on remastering the campaign in a 1.16.1-only mod sometime in 2019, but that is evidently a long while away.
I've learned quite a bit from this project and I am unendingly grateful to the people who supported it during a development phase that was far too long. Even though I look at it as little more than a tech demo of what could have been possible in SC:R were Blizzard concerned with supporting custom content, and see it as very much a disjointed mess of a project, Hydra's Rebel Yell campaign taught me a lot about AI and level design in RTS environments, and I've learned more in 2018 than I did in 2017, which is all anyone can ask for of their creative endeavors. Once again I will take the time to thank those who contributed the most: Neiv, iquare, Suicidal Insanity, and poiuy_qwert for creating the tools that make my work possible; Nekron, DarkenedFantasies, and ciox for their mindful feedback that improve my work; and lastly Connor5620, 2w.Sovereign, sinneddennis, and Ultralisks whose diligent testing facilitated avenues of iteration I only dreamed of in the past. Cheers to you all, and here's hoping that I'm able to make something genuine with this concept next year.
I'll have some announcements on my next campaign in a few short months, if I have my way. In the meantime, if you do find an issue with Hydra or have a suggestion for its improvement when I do return to it, don't hesitate to comment below or contact me directly.
