The mod looks great, btw. Though I am annoyed, I thought Blizzard said they would include models of all the Brood War units. | ||

That's the minimum amount of damage an attack can deal in BW. Edit: All burrowed units in BW are immune to 50% and 25% splash areas, and this affects how much the mines destroy each other. There's also that units die on the next frame in BW, while in the SC2 engine they die instantly, so mines exploding at the same time should all deal damage in BW, while with the SC2 engine the damage will be processed in sequence and the first mine will destroy the rest of them, before they can explode. There could be a delay on mine damage as well, but I haven't done any tests on that and even if there isn't any, delaying damage a bit after the mine explodes would still be relatively similar to the overall behaviour they have in BW. | ||

Right now my vultures can drop mines even before I research mines heh And yeah you got the brood war way for dropping them. It does lead to some oddities though. If you have two vultures selected, it shows a total of six mines. This allows you to queue up 6 mine drops. After each of them drops the third, they just sit there instead of going to the next waypoint, or any movement waypoint you shift queued for afterwards. Similarly, if one of them only has one mine left and you shift queue 3 mine drops, one of them will remain in place while the other goes to drop its remaining two, ignoring anything you told them to do afterward. This isn't so terrible, as you couldn't really do that in broodwar anyway, but it does show what happens when you get a game that assumes you are doing each spell one click per cast and then change it so each unit casts the same thing from one button press. | ||

In bw, when you cast storm you are given a point to select where your storm will land, so your kinda forced to guess where it will actually hit. As for SC2, they give you a casting grid which displays the area that the storm will cover. | ||

About footprints, I can't get a single one working correctly. And I can't see why. Maybe if I change the data directly (since every map is a .MPQ, I can edit the FootprintData file), but I don't know. The ones I changed (and worked) were those that are 3x2 in Brood War - since I used the SC-Reborn footprint. But when I tried to make a creep version of this footprint, it just doesn't work. The same with the 4x3. Any ideas of how can I make them work? And... How can I send it to you, MavercK? EDIT: latest map: Grand Line - the one before Polaris. I've seen it just now. | ||

Not sure about the feasibility and it may not work where all available player slots were taken, but a suggestion on how to get around mines not attacking cloaked units: is it possible to have placed spider-mines belong to another team, allied with you and sharing vision but hostile to your opponent? Then have shared vision switched off on triggering of the mine to stop you seeing how many cloaked units there are...although shared vision is likely set by team, not by unit...hm, tough problem | ||

One suggestion though is to do with hotkeys. I found it annoying not all the hotkeys were classic (I use classic for sc2 also). Off the top of my head Siege Tanks weren't using T, Siege Mode wasnt using O, Marines weren't using M. I found this frustrating and ended up clicking units to build them instead. There may have been more but I can't recall off the top of my head and I don't have access to the game right now. This may have already been fixed but I was definitely playing the map published by you (NA server). I would really like full classic hotkey support though  One other thing... Is it possible to make the scarab AI a bit worse? Overall though, really great work. I can't wait to play it again. Maybe I can help out with some custom models for the units/buildings that have placeholders if I have some spare time off work. | ||

Hmm I'm fairly sure I had it set to classic hotkey setup though. I'll give it another go after work today and report back. | ||
