Titan Reactor - A new way to watch our favorite game.

Titan Reactor has been my covid hobby project that has been under solo development since May of last year. I'm happy now to share my vision with the community. Please watch the video below.

Download and Access
(Removed download link while I fix some initial errors users are having, will be back up soon)
This is INCOMPLETE software and may not work as expected. Please report issues in discord or github issues. The documentation and functionality provided by Titan Reactor may only be utilized with assets provided by ownership of Starcraft.

Video


Vision Statement
Incredibly after 20 years our scene is vibrant, exciting, and more talented than ever. With a large pool of talented foreign pros and over 30k korean players broodwar has much left to give. It's the first and greatest e-sport. With so many great games (thanks to our amazing community organizers) and so much depth to each game, perhaps there is something missing in how we are able to express it to the world? Through this last difficult year and with the support of the greater development community I've come to believe that we can do better in bringing greater artistry to how we show our love for the game. What if by keeping the same great deep player experience and revamping the VIEWER EXPERIENCE we can ensure a stronger presence and greater demand for Broodwar. Perhaps with a more integrated and modern way to experience the game we can bring it fully to life. Will there will be another 20 years of Starcraft and can this project help in propel what is a great time and place to be as a fan, nerd, and community member? Maybe? I really hope so!

Features
  • New HUD with more screen space
    * Classic HUD style or more e-sports GSL style hud options
    * built in player renaming and integrated score display
    [image loading]
  • Smooth fog of war (sc2 style)
  • Smooth panning and zooming
  • 3d audio (more immersive audio)
  • Psuedo-3D auto-generated terrain
    [image loading]
  • Custom player colors for consistent compatible colors
    [image loading]
  • Camera hotkeys and effects
  • In progress production, upgrades, and tech
  • Completed production, upgrades, and tech with completion notifiers
  • Minimap unit flashing when attacked (sc2 style)
  • Dead units remain selected / select loaded units
  • Classic BW features like reveal map, hide player vision, chat, etc.
  • Interface internationalization support (korean, russian, etc.) full translations still TBD



What's missing
  • Only works with replays, no full support for SCR Replays (only some work presently)
  • Real-time observing support (see roadmap)
  • PIP in minimap (ctrl hotkey, coming soon)



Roadmap
(see github for further technical details as to how we can accomplish these)
  • Full SCR replay support
  • Shield Battery integration for live game observing
  • Battle Details (in game range and damage visualization)
  • Multiple Observers
  • Improved terrain generation
  • 3D Battle Cam
    Thanks to Robert Rose (xiaobear on deviant art) for all his incredible contributions to this project, he is a truly talented artist. We've prototyped using 3d models using existing iscript (bw animation code) and it's pretty much plug and play from this way forward. Battle Cam will be a mode you can enter into (think F5) where you can watch battles in full 3d!!!

Development
While this has been a "solo" development I absolutely COULD NOT (even in a million years) have gotten to this stage without tremendous help from the development community so thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH. We're looking for help in development (WebGL, Three.js, React, JS, Node, Electron, C++, Rust) as well as 3d artists. Please check out the github where I outline areas that need work.

Thank you friend. Your contributions are a huge part of what keeps this place running :D It's all spirit, and maybe a touch of nostalgia, just a touch.

Thanks. Jungle in particular has the worst generation (lots of bumps on highground) but I hope you can find use for it and we can continue to improve on it.
