EPTJust wondering if it is possible to remove the win/lose/tied splash screen on a specific map or if it is hard coded? If so, how?
Thanks.

For some reason the random spawns leading to variable games seems more interesting in my head...but maybe it just doesn't work out on paper. I can see why it would feel worse to other players and map-makers. If someone doesn't mind could you list a few features in maps that have failed in the past (and why), or specific occasions where they led to bad results? (other than the obvious rock back door or cliffs) I can't really think of any huge problems or any large complaints about maps being imba off the top of my head. Though I don't really look for it I guess. Now that I think about it, wasn't ohana/antiga/entombed and others eventually deemed to be not so great? what made these stay in rotation for so long? I guess I've also just kinda assumed kespa could smack new maps in because of the format of their league, they don't have to be completely balanced. Is this a fair assumption? or are they just ballsy enough to tell the players to adapt and deal with it, while making changes to improve the map over time. Thanks in advance! I really hope the map scene somehow eventually blows up...there's nothing better than playing on an awesome new map. bump for my previous post | ||

Hmm that should work but, Map -> Player Properties if you haven't done that Map --> Game variants you can set it up from there **Then make sure you go to Map --> Map Options then try unchecking Automatically add Multiplayer Data or Hide Battle.net Lobby Finally, try going to map-> team placement On March 14 2013 08:52 LainRivers wrote:Now that I think about it, wasn't ohana/antiga/entombed and others eventually deemed to be not so great? what made these stay in rotation for so long?

Is this a fair assumption? or are they just ballsy enough to tell the players to adapt and deal with it, while making changes to improve the map over time. I would not really lump Ohana into the same category as Antiga and Entombed and not just because it was made by IronmanSC instead of Blizz, but beacause imo it is not a flawed map. People don't like Ohana anymore because the meta game became very stale on it while immo sentry rush was considered op on it. It is generally agreed that this is not the fault of the map but rather the fault of blizzard for designing protoss the way they did. Others will disagree on Antiga and Entombed but I feel that Antiga is boring because it revolves around the 4th base and has shitty pathing, and Entombed sucks because the 3rd base is too turtley but also has that little path between the nat and 3rd that is too easy to siege or forcefield off. It was also designed with random spawns in mind and thus is "patched" which imo is a bad way to make a map in general. They stayed in the rotation for so long because they were part of the ladder for so long, they were somewhat balanced, and they became recognizable as quintessential SC2 maps along with CK and Daybreak. It would indeed seem that KeSpa does not worry as much as other tourneys about balance since you can choose who to send out on a given map. Their maps were designed to shake up the metagame and they somewhat accomplished that, I think they'll have more interesting things in the future. | ||

 .___________ JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE DEVOURER (FULLY TEXTURED) IS IN HOTS!!! It's in the editor, (at least in the story mode dependencies). The Devourer looks sick! Everyone! TAKE NOTE THAT THE DEVOURER LOOKS SICK! KUDOS AND THANKS TO BLIZZARD FOR THE DEVOURER!!!! (Yes I have to use caps.) Sadly, the Defiler is in the game "but" it is untextured and seems unfinished (the Devourer is fully textured and looks sick!!!111). Here's a relevant quote from the SCBW threa. On March 15 2013 03:34 eviltomahawk wrote: Just stumbled upon this on the modeler's deviantart gallery. I see you've already data-mined it out, but it's an interesting perspective. http://phillgonzo.deviantart.com/art/Zerg-Compare-358688025 Also, the Defiler was untextured because he ran out of time. Everyone (With a DA account) remember to thank Phill Gonzo and Blizzard for those models on his page  .Anyway, time to add Devourer, Classic Queen (definitely), and Guardian to my maps! The Devourer honestly looks really sick. To someone who said it looked like a flower... yeah it kind of does but that's what actually makes it so neat. It's not just another Zerg unit, it actually looks really distinct and unique (while still being Zergy). I currently have a series of maps where I just add as many things to SC2 (from the SP or whatever) as possible. It's labeled in the arcade under (Bread) tag (the most up to date versions are Outpost (Bread), though it still uses only WoL). (I think I may label the map series as SC2 IMBA because everything is imbalanced in the maps) Currently, I have a Mutalisk which can morph into a Swarm Guardian (which isn't the same as the Guardian), I made sure not to use the same hotkey as the regular Guardian or as the Devourer. (Main reason I am mentioning this is kudos to Blizzard for these models. I'll take advantage of them for sure!) Well, it's time... The Mutalisk (if I do update the map sometime soon) will be able to morph into the Guardian and the Devourer as well the Swarm Guardian (probably with some added abilities so they can compete with the Corruptor, Brood Lord, and Swarm Guardian). Kudos and thanks again to Phill Gonzo and Blizzard for basically readding back all classic SC1BW units/models (only thing missing so far are Valkyries, and the Protoss units, and a need for a textured Defiler). Yes, even the classic queen is back! Edit - Also there aren't any portraits for them (except maybe the Guardian) but once Blizzard releases their plugin for 3ds Max, I'm sure someone can make the portraits easily (copy and paste the background for an existing Zerg unit, then use it with the new models to make a simple portrait). | ||

Does anyone know how to get the level achievement without having to replay entirely? I missed 3 levels throughout the campaign, and upon retrieving them and replaying the final mission, I haven't gotten credit (it says I'm currently at level 46 o.o). | ||

I remember in WoL, you could do solo games vs the AI. You could specify how many computer players - including none! - were on the map. If you did select none and the victory screen came up, you could just say "Continue Playing" and you'd still be in the game. You could even use cheats! Well, long story short I did a toooooooon of games in this manner to do various things, like practice build orders, perfect simcity placement, and so-on and so-forth. But I can't seem to recreate this experience in HotS. Is it still possible? TLDR: I remember a time when I could make a vs AI game and have 0 computers and use singleplayer cheat codes (like fast build). How can I do this? | ||

It's been a while since I've done anything with DDS files in the editor, but I recall having to use a square image (which at 113x113 yours is) with dimensions that are multiples of 4 (4x4, 8x8, 12x12, etc). | ||

I'm looking for a HOTS equivalent of YABOT. Any idea if there's any? I tried using YABOT and SALT and both spawned with WoL units. Any pointers much appreciated. | ||

Any pointers much appreciated. Hi enanoretozon, I'm the creator of SALT. I have this thread as well of a bunch of others in my subscription list. I am not very active in the forums but I lurk around a lot. The maps you tried are still available from WOL and have not been changed/updated to work with HOTS. I am working on a newer version of SALT and until you mentioned it didn't even realize that the older versions would still be available. You are asking for a finished product and I do not have that to offer you ... But I do have a very stable version up and running if you are interested in giving it a go.If you are interested then you can go into custom games from the main menu (not through the arcade) and you will be able to find "SALT Daybreak (beta)". There will be a computer player in the game by default, do not remove this player. If you want to vs AI then add another AI to the game (it must have at least 2 computer players to work) or add a human friend All the functions are integrated into the defualt menu button (the same menu button you use to change settings/leave game/etc) so just click on that. The functionality you would be more interested in is the "build orders" sub menu. It does not come with any builds by default but there is a GUI which lets you create whatever build you desire. If you have any comments or questions feel free to PM them to me. I check in on TL once every couple of days. | ||

I found your map via the custom games a couple days ago but I thought it was also bugged as I didn't add a 2nd AI and when one doesn't add it, upon entering it says not enough players and the game ends (doesn't show me the spawns). | ||
