They're only there to give you something to work at if that's your thing. Thanks for comparing me to Blizzard though, that's pretty sweet. Probably don't deserve it. Edit: With the temp ban, it looks like you've been having a rough day. I'll PM you the ranks. | ||

It no longer saves user preferences, players that drop at the start no longer spawn (i.e. aren't randomly assigned units as they used to be and don't generate resources for remaining players), and the fog of war is randomly disabled for some players (but not consistently, so some will be running with map view hacks against players who aren't). | ||

Replays please. Edit: So, debug mode is now turned off on the live Sand Canyon map. The settings memory should also be turned on again. I still need to witness a dropped player or get a replay with one in it to attempt to fix whatever that is. | ||

Hmm... every single game I played earlier today had some or all of those issues. Several of them presented the dropped player problem. I'll PM the replays. | ||

You cannot change this setting from inside the lobby anymore. | ||

I have been dropped myself a few times. It pretty much just disconects you as soon as the game begins (before it loads). You just get kicked back to bnet with a message saying you were disconected. You can also tell when there will be a dropped player because on the loading screen their bar stays empty and doesn't move. That is the only real issue from preventing this being one of the best maps out there. Please please please fix it. All custom games already have an issue with people leaving at the very start, this DC bug just contributes to this. Maps aren't fun when they don't start or are 3v4. | ||

I have over 300 games played on this map and a goood chunk of those were 3v4 or just non-existant because after the initial player was dropped everyone else left.

All custom games already have an issue with people leaving at the very start, this DC bug just contributes to this. Maps aren't fun when they don't start or are 3v4. The issue of dropping isn't related to an individual custom map. If you haven't noticed it on any of the other maps on the Arcade it's probably because you've been playing a lot of Bx Monobattles. It can happen to a player before the game has even begun its countdown and when it does it's because the connection established between Battle.net and the user's computer dropped vital information. The more players allowed in a game, the more likely you are to witness a loading drop or a lobby disconnect, it's purely probability. BxM allows 8 players, games like Mafia (which I enjoy immensely) allow 14 and experience a drop about 80% of the time. I know it sucks but it's an issue between the player and Blizzard's servers. Mappers everywhere would love to fix it if they could. | ||

The random option definitely won't be changing before Heart of the Swarm. | ||

Can you check to see if you've got a bank file for the mod? It should be in your documents directory, which on Win7 looks like this: C:\Users\NAME\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\#######\1-S2-1-######\Banks\1-S2-1-###### | ||

I think there are more people than just me who are tired of games where you get no decent anti-air units and nothing you can hit early with, etc. Nobody seems to know that you can click that button to change the modes >_> | ||

But since 90% of the people want them unchecked, might as well have that the default. | ||

I think there are more people than just me who are tired of games where you get no decent anti-air units and nothing you can hit early with, etc. Nobody seems to know that you can click that button to change the modes >_> The short answer is that the default mode will stay as Blind Random. The long answer is that the default mode basically dictates how a given map gets played. It's a fault of the Battle.net system and a willingness of the average user to get into a game ASAP. Part of the reason BX Monobattles gained any popularity at all is that it was switched to Blind Random default early on. All the other Monobattles allowed picking by default or as the only mode. Blind Random is also the fastest mode for the selection phase, minimizing wait time before play time.

Probably 90% of people uncheck them, first thing. 8% of the time, people are dumb or forget and end up getting overseer and rage-quitting. 2% of the time, people leave them for the challenge. But since 90% of the people want them unchecked, might as well have that the default. It's a good suggestion. In the near future I will change the default selection status to "unselected" for all of the optional units.

If anyone else is experiencing this and able to give me the feedback requested above (about bank files), it'd be appreciated. | ||

I'm not sure if this has been asked, and I apologize for not sifting through all the posts, but my spores/cannons/turrets are complaining about the lack of real estate behind the main mineral lines. They claim that Banshees and other airborne craft can hit a sweet spot(or more like a sweet area). I only ask because my lings/zealots/rauders are furious. It's so nice to have an active modder and I'm very happy that 1.5 killed that other mod. Cheers! | ||

On the modified Sand Canyon map (the one people play on) the area behind the starting mineral lines was removed to prevent marine rushes from being a guaranteed kill on another Terran player (PFs can't reach back there). It does make mutalisks and banshees slightly better. | ||
