There is a function that I think is called "set tech level" or something like that. You could run that function for every upgrade you want researched. OR the better way would be to use catalogues. That way you would not need to do it individually and could just write a small function. This will require either prior experience of computer programming or a lot of time to learn how to do it. | ||

So I can make an observer be able to zoom out while the players are still only able to use the normal camera? I think you'd create an observer camera, change the properties you want, then use Apply Camera Data? | ||

You could try these guys http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/4422092623 I haven't been there myself but they have offered. Every now and again there will be mappers who try and get something started like a chat channel but there never seems to be enough consistancy of demand for it to gain traction. You can try and amass contacts of individuals who are willing to test though. If you play a test map with someone and they are supportive ask if you can "friend" them and contact them down the line when you have a new version out. You can gradually build a list of contacts but it is no garuntee you'll be able to get a game when you want. I'm turtles #734 on US btw. Always happy to test a map for people who are willing to do the same. I'm not online verry often though. | ||

For example back on Jungle Basin (I know not a great map) there was generally a decision for where to take your third base whether it be in the center where most of the fighting is, along the side with your destructible rocks, which gives your army a lot of space to have to protect, or take both side expansions and try to keep at least one alive. Recently it seems like every map has a very generic structure for how the game will play out in terms of bases taken and contested. I guess my simple question is: is there a balance reason for this that map makers know or is this simply difficult or not that important to implement? | ||

I guess my simple question is: is there a balance reason for this that map makers know or is this simply difficult or not that important to implement? First of all, there are still some maps which allow a choice of 3rds, such as Whirlwind or Astro Haze. Secondly, the current metagame basically requires a fairly easy to take 3rd, but if you have 2 options for a third which are both easy enough to take for a "standard" game, then it often enables you to easily take both of them and turtle on 4 bases, which leads to boring games. That being said, it's definitely possible for this not be the case if the map is designed well. | ||

I guess my simple question is: is there a balance reason for this that map makers know or is this simply difficult or not that important to implement? all the original blizzard maps (and thusly the game itself) were designed specifically around 2 base play. so you have a main, a nat, and the third and the rest of the bases are somewhere out on the map. the problem with this is that if forces the games into two situations: 1) 2 base all ins, or 2) turtling so you can build up an army to protect your third when you take it because its in such a hard-to-defend position. the way modern maps are laid out is that the third is further away from the enemy, or rather, close to you, so you can defend it easier because of the distance enemy reinforcements have to travel. this is most important versus protoss because they have zero travel distance for reinforcements. when you see maps like metal and shakuras, and to a lesser extent others like XNT, they lasted the longest in the map pool because their thirds were not so difficult to defend for the above reasons. | ||

Pros will figure out the best way to play a map and hardly play it any other way. And the mapmaker doesn´t necessarily know what the best base to take is. | ||

If I use a Time Scale value via a buff it speeds up upgrade production. I just larvas to spawn faster while the Inject buff is active. | ||
