i've updated NA, waiting on EU now, will update KR aswell.

then hopefully no updates for a little while unless theres any major bugs. takes me forever to do these huge updates lol.

created the SC2BW group on NA aswell. you can transfer ownership of a group? i saw some administrative features in groups. because it doesn't seem to give any warning when you create a group, if you try to join a non-existing one it just creates it. hopefully i get it first but should be ok.

i've also forced the dragoon ragdoll/death animation to work on low settings. keep an eye on this people with low spec machines, i just didn't want people missing out on the coolness of it
but if it causes lag i will create a low quality version or just put in the standard protoss low quality death animation.

*EDIT*
EU now updated. KR tomorrow.

I just tried SC2BW for the first time. Hadn't played SC2 at all for a long time (and BW even longer) but i wanted to try this. I was chobo but the AI is pretty bad so i beat it very easily, haha.

Anyway, wanted to see the blue goo mostly as well, given there is no tournament to watch this week. I tried Match Point 1.3 on the Arcade EU Server and for some reason the Dragoon was all shiny and didn't look like on Mavercks pic at all, it was pretty shiny and white. I assume a texture was missing or something, perhaps because i haven't completed the blizzard launcher download yet and it was lagging like shit too (crappy internet + background downloader is pretty bad), so perhaps it's just me. But all other units i've seen were fine. Played on extreme settings.

i have storm doing 112 damage total over 8 seconds. seems accurate in my tests.

theres some bugs on maps but it's a Blizzard problem, some maps dont get updated properly, others have a bug where sc2 patches override values in my maps (which should never. ever. happen).

i dont have a solution for this. i had a blizzard guy contact me, but i havn't heared back from him in ages. no idea whats going on there.

i might reupload my Fastest Map Possible?

8 seconds is way off. Even a simple in game comparison to unit attacks shows it to be more than twice as short - in BW it's approximately as long as 3 zealot attack cooldowns or 2 dragoon attack cooldowns, while 8 seconds in SC2 would be enough for more than twice as much.

My old hard drive failed, and I no longer have the data I had compiled 10+ years ago, so I looked at iscript.bin to check the exact values for the animation.

The ability displays nothing for the first 6 frames(tmprmgraphicstart at first frame and then a wait 5, followed by tmprmgraphicend), which matches up with the HT casting animation, so technically the ability is instant cast, but it starts dealing damage and displaying the storm animation only after the HT casting animation is complete(the difference it makes is that if the HT is killed during casting, it won't stop the ability from going off, since it has already gone off).

Then the animation is played, with each graphic frame staying on the screen for 2 game ticks/frames(there's a "wait 2" between each "playfram" in the script). The animation is 14 frames long and repeats twice, and then plays the first 3 frames again and stops, so it would total 31 frames displayed with 60 game ticks between the first and the last.

The first damage tick is dealt after the first animation frame and the last damage tick is dealt before the last animation frame. That makes the delay between damage ticks 8 frames(7 or 9 would be way off), so the duration between the first and the last damage tick would have to be 7 * 8 = 56 game frames. This also effectively increases the casting time to 8 frames(since it doesn't deal damage until 2 frames later).

1 frame in BW = 0.0574 seconds in the SC2 editor, which results in a delay before the first damage tick of 0.4592(8 frames) seconds and the same delay between each following damage tick, totaling 3.6736(64 frames) seconds between the start of casting and the final damage tick.
