I can confirm the issue that adrenaLinG is talking about.

While playing a tvz someone took control of both our workers and suicided them. I repeatedly tried to move my workers back but I could not control them...

It is at the end of this replay -> http://drop.sc/89920

Please fix this ASAP this is a serious problem and I'm not going to be playing anymore public peepmode games until this is resolved.....

Yeah I just had a game where player 1 could see and control player 2 blue's units, nobody else's though.

Also the autocam keeps getting stuck for me when I try to turn it off, if I turn it off at the wrong time it will keep trying to pull my screen towards the autocam while I try to move it away, very frustrating

Would it be too much trouble to remove the Reddit trademark from the custom?

I'm a member of an alternative Starcraft community that dislikes Reddit and I feel that we are not the only ones, having the logo wards off other interested parties who also share a dislike for Reddit.

Redditors have already gained a liking to the map so removing the logo politely should be understandable as a trade for more outside attention.

BatesC So far, redditors have been very kind to me and I've identified with them for the most part. I also include the TeamLiquid logo in the name panel at the top as well as a PeepMode logo. Which community do you represent? I'd be happy to include your logo as well if you can show the positive support that Reddit and TL have shown me. The loading screen logo is only on Metalopolis and won't be permanent. I just happen to be promoting the maps on reddit right now, so I'd like to leave it up for now. I def don't want to offend anyone...

UPDATE! Several bugs that people have been reporting recently regarding observers controling units should now be fixed. If you encounter any bugs please email replay to peepmode at gmail. Thx!

Xenox: The player cam uses Blizz's "Follow Player" function for certain events. When this function is used, the camera seems to be locked until it finally gets to the unit it wants to follow...I have not found a work-around for this and alternative ways of panning to moving units produce worse side effects.

The player having vision & control of other player's units bug happened to me again on peepmode metalopolis, not sure what triggers it though.

Thanks for the reponse!

Having my community represented on your map could only lead to negative responses so don't feel pressured into adding another one. I'm personally not offended as much as I feel pressured that its a reddit-only secret club map.

I no longer feel this way though knowing the logo is only temporary, thanks for paying attention and gl with the maps future (its already midway through the 2nd page)

I really think the 15 second delay of opening screen is unnecessary, just have something like a popout tab that you can close that explains the same thing open from the beginning.

Lemure: You might be right. Note that this occurs only if any player in the group has joined less than 2 games. I don't see ppl leaving during the timeout, so it means it's not that off-putting to people. I'll leave it for now but maybe will disable it later on.

To get pets and other purchable items, go to Avatars (F8), then click the shield icon (Personal Bling), then click BUY UPGRADES.

Hey Icculus,

I'm wondering if it is possible for those who purchased those Special Avatars', ie. infested marine, queen, medivac, viking, interceptor, or HT, to set it so that they default as one of the Avatars they purchased?

Also, have you considered changing it so that each players' real 1v1 league rank is shown in the Leaderboard (as opposed to allowing users to pick what league they're in?).

Thanks

PS: Great maps you created here, glad to see it getting some exposure now. Now I don't have to go to page 3 or 4 to find the map

Is there anyway you can add a personal option to disable or change the F8 avatar menu? I use F8 as a screen location hotkey and so it conflicts with the avatar menu.

I tried Peepmode yesterday with a couple of friends and it rocks, thanks for developing it. I especially love the Auto Cam and have a suggestion to make it even better.

Could you implement that I can still manually select a view on the minimap and the camera stays there until I release the mouse button upon which the Auto Cam takes over again?

This map is amazing but blizzards stupid custom map system makes it really really hard to get a game on a map that isnt metal =/ thanks for making this great map though.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!

ThomasR: If you to to Options > Personal Options and check "Advanced Avatar selection", the Special Avatars window should come up by default instead of the "I Want to Play" window. Unfortunately, Blizz does not expose league data to modders...that's why I have to ask players and yeah they lie

gXxshock: That's a good thought; one that I had too. Unfortunately Blizzard doesn't expose minimap clicks as events, so I can't pick up on them

leveller: Yeah I wish Blizz allowed map linking on bnet cuz then you could jump from map to map with the same group, but that's not supported currently. Maybe we can get another map popular (Cloud Kingdom?) after Metalopolis has been in the limelight for a while.
LazyScout: Yeah I could add Disable F8 as an option...I'll put it on the list.
