Seems like a lot of things are broken, including Siege Tank action and impact actors. There also is zero directions on things like, which maps are up to date, how to turn off or off things like auto rally. I have a question on how you did the movement system. The units stray in slightly different directions when moved, how is this achieved? It looks nice and very BW esque. edit: figured it out | ||

Maur? *Nevermind, searched through the arcade. SHould have searched through custom game. ** MavercK, is it possible to crank up the flying units' turning rate even more? Want to see if you potentially could micro backwards without losing speed. Would like to see how an extreme turning rate would present in the sc2 engine. | ||

http://www.mediafire.com/?7nf59i7k0qbis73 heres the updated data file, this has a few bug fixes and also has all small air units turning rates pretty much maxed out. see how it goes. NA is already updated. | ||

Is the medic heal rate drastically higher than bw values? I am not certain it isn't. | ||

I am not certain it isn't. irradiate deals friendly damage in current version, tested it. medic heal rate i spent a long time on, it should be very close to BW unless something has screwed with my numbers again. | ||

I also have a suggestion on how you can make the vulture behave almost identical to broodwar (provided the actions can be scripted into the patrol/attack behavior). If you can script the patrol command of the vulture to issue a move command (in the direction of the patrol) a split second before it turns into a normal patrol, it will come real close to emulating its broodwar counterpart. If it is doable, i suggest you only change the patrol command. Keep the attack command the way it was before. The way it works now, the vulture will just glitch out and stop if the attack/patrol isn't issued within its allowed attack arc. If a move command is issued a split second before it goes into attacking mode though, it will behave essentially the same as in Brood war. You can manually issue the move command every time, but its pretty hard and tedious. The air units don't have the same problem because they keep gliding while turning around to attack. The vulture can't keep gliding, so it stops if the target isn't within its attack arc. I think the same emulation can be done for air units. But to be honest -- I'm not sure Brood war behavior for air units would be preferable to how they function right now with their super fast turning rates. If the move command can be scripted in, you could have the patrol command represent "old behavior" (Brood war style micro), and the attack command be the new behavior (SC2 micro). I'm making a demonstration video right now to show what I mean. I'll make an even more polished vid afterwards to post as a thread/blog so this mod gets the attention it deserves. Need to stir some shit up. Dustin Browder not knowing about SC2BW mod's existence is not acceptable =) | ||

Keep in mind it's a lot easier to micro vs an enemy than against your own units (vs. enemy, wraiths will generally fire even if you misclick). The way wraiths work in sc2bw mod right now is the way in which Blizzard should have addressed the Phoenix moving shot issue. | ||

I guess Maverck the hero found a very interesting solution that would increase the skill ceiling for many air units and could easily be implemented as standalone mod for tournaments in HotS, provided it works out the way it seems to work out in the video posted by Lalush. Would be hilarious if a real pro-mod came to be, instead of the TL april fools one, with minor but acceptable additions. Call me a dreamer, but this got me excited for a moment. | ||

Acceleration buff alone won't do very much. They'd have to change the mutalisk's turning rate, attack animation and deceleration as well. * I encountered a bug where I was unable to select flying units at the edge of the minimap. I had ~10 wraiths that were physically impossible to select. Not sure whether this has been reported before. Perhaps it has to do with me playing in 16:10 ratio. ** One complaint that could be raised about keeping SC2 style micro (being able to micro backwards without losing any speed) is that it would affect the effectiveness of the scourge unit. Scourge would not be as effective against wraith/muta/corsair. Granted mutas and wraiths were able to make scourge glitch out even in BW, it shouldn't be much of an issue. But corsairs were not able to glitch out scourge the same way, so I feel they'd be greatly boosted by this. | ||

I know the game is to scale. But zoomed in/out feels like an unlimited selection/MBS kind of issue. Most people would probably prefer zoomed out view. Would probably help with the mod's popularity if it were an option (if it already is, i'm prolly blind). Both for playing and casting. * Also, is there some way of getting the vision of both players when viewing replays? Setting it to "everyone" makes the entire map dark. | ||

Setting it to "everyone" makes the entire map dark. i've always wanted to have a seperate camera for spectators that had unlimited zoom. view the entire map if they wanted to. but never pulled it off, still on my todo list however. the issue with vision in replays/spectator is isolated to fighting spirit i think? and i have no idea whats causing it, it's an extremely strange problem. and yea theres no option to set camera in lobby, it's hard coded basically. i'll think about that one. | ||

But he said that creating a new ability would perhaps be possible where move command would be followed by a patrol/attack. Unfortunately not able to badger him more until he gets home from work. | ||
