Updated: May 17

+ Show Spoiler +
Many minor bug fixes (such as upgrades not working correctly and some resources counts being displayed incorrectly)

Added a pause button, will pause units but you may still issue orders.

Added a new terrain, 'Ramp', in addition to the standard and the small choke.

Added a visibility button, where you can switch between only seeing what Red can see, Blue can see or both can see.

Made some modifications to the base code so creating large numbers of units will not cause error reports anymore.


Hey guys,

I created a map where you can easily create and test out units. Get to know exactly what composition works great against what!

Funfact:
Pitting 16 Zerglings against 12 Marines, on average 7 Marines make it out alive.
Upgrading armor (150/150) for the Zerglings will conclude in on average 1-2 Zerglings making it out alive.
Upgrading melee (100/100) for the Zergling will conclude in on average 5-6 Marines making it out alive.

It's just so awesomesauce, you gotta try it out!

Just tried it, it is great! I've been looking for something like that for a while. I spent at least an hour looking at different fights and it really helps.

I recommend this to everyone

I got that last night and spent an hour playing with it (fungal growth + psi storm on 100 mutas = fun!) when I should be sleeping :p

I also had it open to check something else before I saw this thread :o

Suggestions:

Increase the area that they can fight on, and the possibility to play with different types of terrain (wide open, smaller choke, double choke, ramp).
Being able to change the amount of units without resetting and respawning it all over. I just thought about it and just holding back a few units when I want to fine tune it would fix it, but would still be nice to remove.
Spawn more than one unit at a time.

Great suggestions, I'll make sure holding shift will make 5 units at a time.

I'll add more terrain as I go. Would you guys like to have the workers be able to construct buildings? (and should those build instantly?)

Todo list:
Shift click will make 5 units at a time.
Shift clicking units while in the creation panel will remove them.
More types of terrain-scenarios: Mineral line, Ramp, Small choke, Double Choke, Wide open.. suggest more!

Prospects:
Available for two players.

Another thing I noticed was that archon seemed to have the unit cost of one DT and one HT. In almost every case you get the archon it's two HT, so either having the possibility of an instant archon warp on the HT/DT and thus choose yourself what you want while still keeping the cost overview correct, or just changing it to show 2HT.

Having workers build buildings could be interesting for a more realistic ramp scenario.

I don't know if this is something that I did wrong, but whenever I launch it when dragging it onto the SC2.exe it seems the game speed is at normal. If that is fixed by making a custom game with it then it's no big deal, but being able to change game speed in game (is that possible at all when it's single player?) would be nice. It's a bit boring to watch them fight at reduced speed when I ideally would want to be able to do 10 parallel battles at the same time to really be able to find the real mean instead of a few deviations taking a lot of time.

Yes, you have to adjust the speed in the game menu, all maps start at normal speed when you load them...

Do you know what folder I need to put the map into to be able to make a custom game with it?

Suggestion: Option in start to put the speed at faster. There's a macro map I'm playing right now with different modes that sets the speed at fast or faster, so being able to set the speed in this map even when it's only been dragged into SC2.exe would be good.

Game now is set to default at Fastest.

To play the map:

Go to your Starcraft 2 Beta folder (C:/Program Files/Starcraft II Beta)
Open "Starcraft 2 II Editor.exe"
File -> Open -> Click Browse -> Select your Downloads Folder -> TheUnitTester5.SC2map -> OK
File -> Test Document or CTRL+F9

Is the broodling bug fixed? When you cancel broodlords there are still broodlings hanging around, last time I downloaded the map. Also, can you add something to remove tech and weapon/armor upgrade once you researched them? Great map so far.

Edit: nvm about the reset upgrade I see you already added it in recent versions. Great map, all it needs now is more terrain :D

You should add a creep-toggle that covers the battle areas like ORLY's unit tester
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

You upgrade those on the right side buildings, there's one of each building for each colour.

Okay I spent a few hours with it, this is the overall best UMS map I have ever played. Congratulations.

One issue I found is respawning the units when there are still units on the field, they will not start exactly where they would normally. I think you need about a quarter second delay between removing the current units on the field and spawning the new ones.

Also I would just move the whole thing to a much larger map so you can have multiple battlefields to choose from. This would also make it easier if you left some blank space for people to create their own terrain. As for suggestions for battlefields, just copy important areas from the current maps. Have all the chokepoints from all the maps, the middle area of LT, etc. Maybe you can just write a quick guide on how to port these triggers on to different maps so I could run these tests on ladder maps and create any combination of units and have them fight in different areas.

If you can implement intentional lag that would be nice, it feels weird microing with zero latency.

Tip if you want to test certain micro scenarios, turn the game speed down to slowest and you can micro both armies well.

nice, but I guess it's not only important to see how the Units work against each other, but also the way you get to the Unit-composition. But just for trying out the one aspect of that it's a nice Idea.

Question: Are the SC1-Units in there as well? i've seen them in the campaign-trailers n' stuff and I'd really like to see them in action in a competetive game, cuz we'll surely see some nice custom-maps with all the Units I guess.

really awesome and helpful tool, good job

I hope that you keep it up-to-date with future patches.

edit: i played around with it some and heres a few fun facts i learned:
Neural parasite can take control over point defense drones, but not auto-turrets. You can also mc raven and use his abilities, but i guess its not something that you haven't known, still it would be awesome to see such thing happen in real game

Ghosts sniper round says that it can target only bio units, but you cant use it on zerg structures, even though they are classified as biological.

Hmmm, I feel like this creates and unrealistic setting to test in. Because often you are never going to get a certain combination of units and against another combination in an actual game as compared to the tester, and thus your time would be spent more valuably playing them game...

Though I think it is a great tool to use if you wanted to know very small amounts of units against each other. Like vikings versus mutas? I have no real idea on the practicality of that either.
Can you ever argue in favor of something without first proving it?

Already found something interesting:
Vikings vs equal amount of Mutas pretty much ends in a draw, while the Vikings cost more minerals and the Mutas more gas.

BUT as soon as upgrades for both sides kick in Vikings start to dominate Mutas.

I understand your sentiment on the unrealistic settings, but it's still helpful in answering musings such as how many Mutalisks it takes to take out how many Marines without losing too much. Just an example of something I've been wondering (when I harass with Mutalisks, I'm never sure if I should engage his Marine army.)

funcraft: On the left of the unit creation panel is a small panel with 6 buttons. This is where you can pick terrains. Only the Small Choke is available, but I'm designing the Double Choke as we speak!

I love it, great job.

Bugs:
Marines 150 vs 150. team 1(red) will always win due to either a bigger choke or closer starting position. Maps need to be perfectly symmetrical to properly test large groups of ground units.

Unit cost are doubled for marauder, reaper, ghost. Archon cost (already mentioned above)

Feature Request:
Include total build time.

Fun Discovery:
It takes a critical mass of 38+ Marines to win a fight against an equal amount (cost) of zergling in open area.

So yeah. This is basically the greatest thing ever, in history.

Couple of things:

Cost on the Ghost is wrong--it's 250/350. Should be 150/150.

Marauder is 100/50, should be 100/25.

"The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it."


Is making me giggle. I wonder if this means he'd call me a cynic.

Also, the Void Ray is currently showing 200/150. Should be 250/150.
And the Viking is showing 125/100. Should be 125/75.

God, I love this map.

Awesome UMS map!!


I created an account 2 days ago so I could share this unit damage chart with Team Liquid, but apparently I can't create a new thread for 3 days so I guess I'll share it here!

I found an awesome excel file created by Shurafa, fixed some mistakes, TOTALLY re-worked most parts of it, and updated it to patch 11!

Please let me know if you like it or it is helpful to you at all!

Also, the Void Ray is currently showing 200/150. Should be 250/150.
And the Viking is showing 125/100. Should be 125/75.

God, I love this map.


Fair enough, could have sworn they were 125. You definitely are twisting the meaning of the quote though

Haha! Only playing, sir. I do like the quote. There was a guy who posted a thread on QualiaSoup's stuff, open mindedness, and the like, that your quote reminded me of.

I've been playing the map for like the last 4 hours. I could just keep doing this.

Updated; 17 may.

Many minor bug fixes (such as upgrades not working correctly and some resources counts being displayed incorrectly)

Added a pause button, will pause units but you may still issue orders.

Added a new terrain, 'Ramp', in addition to the standard and the small choke.

Added a visibility button, where you can switch between only seeing what Red can see, Blue can see or both can see.

Made some modifications to the base code so creating large numbers of units will not cause error reports anymore.

Hotdamn. Totally forgot about the broodling bug. I'll fix that next update.

+ Show Spoiler +
Psst, what do you think of the new terrain in terms of quality?

Suggestion: A choice of arena which is a large open area.

Maybe something with a LOS blocker in the middle.

Haha, seriously, I'm going to try this in a custom game. Build only drones from Larva, FE, make 10 Queens and put down a bunch of Spines at my choke.

The Queens can keep the Spines alive long enough to kill any opposing force (8 queens w/ full energy = 32 transfusions = 3200 hp) and not only that, if he tries to come at you with Air... Well. You've got that covered.

Using this as a micro map works wonders. I just did 8 immortals vs 60 roaches and with attack move there were 20-24 roaches left. Added a warp prism with speed upgrade and managed to win with the immortals since I got the ones without shield in the back and after that the ones in the red.

could you add a way to see how much each army is worth? kind of like the army feature in replays

also it would be nice to see how much each unit costs individual as well a a reminder

That's what I'm thinking. But since map publishing has been enabled for patch 13 we should be able to mess around with it now.

Didn't blizz say mac version would get their galaxy editor during beta?

wow this is such an amazing tool.

the design is very simple and you still have lots of possibilities. the only problem is: the place to fight is a bit narrow. as soon as you test things out with critical masses, then your units become stuck. but hey its still very good.

thx for sharing.

Great map, I have a few suggestions:

I think when switching sides, it should show the race menu instead of the last side's race's units.

My upgrades wont work they always get to like 99% and get stuck.

Also, the battlefields need to be a tad bigger =\.

Great work!

Too bad 9 marauders are much cheaper than 3 ultralisks. The gas difference dwarfs the 100 mineral difference.

Not to mention usually there's medivacs......

Bad on multiple levels. First, you're comparing apples to oranges in a few ways. Second, you can't mention medivacs if you don't include their cost.

Apples to oranges in a few ways as in....you never said any ways? Do you not have medivacs in your late game TvZ? Do you only have 9 un-upgraded marauders with no stim and no medivacs? Do you not kite your marauders utilizing their range?

I did factor in two medivacs, and the ultralisk side is still heavier on the gas. I didn't even mention stim. Pretty much just one marauder dies with stim usage. Hell, we don't even need medivacs in the picture with stim; stim alone makes it one sided already.

This is not counting running away either, just flat out shitty micro with only focus fire.

With 12+ marauders ultras die to 2 volleys each and it's just depressing to watch. By late game, i dunno what games Blizz is playing but my games tend to have more than enough marauders to insta-kill ultras before that stage of the game to begin with.

How bout first play the beta? Perhaps also this UMS as well? Which is what this thread is about in the first place.

Hey guys,

I can't publish the map, B.net is giving me errors. But I'll publish an updated version when the big beta pause is over!

EDIT: Published a crappy version. Next update is when SC2 gets released.

ty this is great! I messed around with this for about an hour last night and was surprised with what I found for certain matchups. I was doing it wrong before but this opened my eyes and saved me a lot time suiciding my army on ladder because I think I can win but I'm not totally sure exactly how many units to make. I have a much better feel for it now.

This is by far the most useful map I've ever "played", more like studied. I not only get to find out how many X's I need to beat Y's, I not only find good army compositions to beat/defend XYZ, I also get practice microing any or all the units I want.

My only complaints is the Respawn (past units) button is buggy and you can only delete the last unit made on the team. Most of the time respawn will make something like 6 hydra 6 roach 12 ling into 6 hydra 5 roach 9 ling. And if you make a mistake adding units, or simply want to make some changes in the composition, you have to start from scratch.

Thanks for the time you've put into this! Very useful and I love it!

edit: BTW, when I downloaded this after work yesterday, I "played" it and took notes for nearly 4 hours straight concentrating on Z v T and Z v P armies/units.

Big thanks for the map! We're looking forward to when you publish the latest version, so that my team can use it as a micro arena.

Suggestions:
*Add much larger open field
*Remove "escape key" shortcut (for spell micro)
*Spawn all units with full energy (button too slow)
*Spawn carriers with full interceptors (don't decrease build time)
*Individuals each have own interface in multiplayer

What's best for comparing units? Should you match only gas? What about units that only have minerals.
40 marines vs 14 siege tanks doesn't seem to be a fair comparison (even though you wouldn't attack that way). 2000 minerals vs 2100 minerals and 1750 gas. Though I don't really know how to "convert" the gas to minerals.

Too bad "open field" doesn't work (patch 16, map version 17 May).

This is awesome, thanks. I only just realized that Psi Storm needs to be cast UNDER air units ::SADFACE:: and I used this to get a hang of what that feels like. My only complaint is that Escape is a really inconvenient hotkey for killing everything and bringing up the menu since Escape is what I use to cancel spell casting.

As for comparing armies, I get the feeling from watching Day[9] Dailies that supply/food is a fairly accurate representation of army worth. Minerals and gas aren't really convertible in any meaningful way.

This is my favorite map by far. So useful. The updated one on megaupload works seemingly great for me (in the US)... very few bugs so far, and nothing permanent (restart level for one bug that popped up when I picked 2 races on one team, which prevented upgrades from working afterward).

XGDragon just gave me the go-ahead to continue working on the map.

So what kind of features would you guys like to see in future versions?

Some suggestions:
+ Show Spoiler +
- Add big open area for large-scale battles
- Add circular area to practice kiting
- Add elongated area for skirmishes with reinforcements

Further suggestions (more difficult to implement):
- Add buildings
- Add switch between insta- and normal research, to observe research effects during battle

A run x -times feature with summary stats would be good. Some results are highly variable.

An autocast ai and interface would be cool. Might be too hard unless you could use Blizzard's. For example, being able to put storm on auto for one side, or even stim. I have a hard time microing two sides at once, especially if I'm trying some serious micro on the other side.


thanks

Here's my suggestions, LOVE the map by the way, it's fizzled out a lot of confusion and frustration after losing a game by helping me to find out what i should have done. But theres a few things in my option, which might make it that much better:



Larger Battle Field: It would be nice to maybe have an area to spawn units that is somewhat larger than the default "no choke/ramp/etc. area" just for testing bigger army compositions.


Improved "respawn units" - Sort of a tall suggestion, but would probably be the most helpful. It would be cool if instead of just having the options to "respawn units, or build new armies" if one could somehow not have to completely wipe the board when changing an army composition.
In other words, it would be great if i could open up the unit spawn panel, and edit what i have, or at the very least add some units to the armies, without losing everything i already have put down.

Oftentimes, i just want to see what happens when for example: "I add 2 more colossus' to this army" but i have to kill everything on the field, then go back in, remember exactly what i had on both sides, often times i mistakenly put the wrong race on the wrong team, and dont have all the upgrades, etc. etc. and it feels a bit inaccurate and tedious. It would just be so nice if there were a way to edit or add to my existing army compositon and have it remember it when i respawn units.


Upgrades: Obviously some of the bugs with upgrades. With Zerg in particular, sometimes i need to build a hatchery, then a spawning pool, then a roach warren, then something else to get to a particular upgrade that isn't on the few zerg buildings that im supposed to upgrade from. nothing big but could be improved.


Builders - it's kind of annoying when u are trying to build a base, especially with zerg and you have to keep grabbing the builder, running him back, building something, he runs back, build another, etc. etc.
i understand why he's doing it, to get out of your way, but i think i could manage that fine, the "auto- runback" is a bit annoying especially since buildings dont insta-respawn. Anything that could make "structure creation" easier would be very appreciated.

Bug: Respawn units doesn't always work right, im sure it's already been mentioned but i'll mention it again. i think it's related to the size of the terrain and the mass of units at one of the spawn points not having enough room to be placed, but im no expert, just guessing.


Bug: Infestors burrow and sometimes disappear? i dunno why, probably has to do with the fact that this was made during beta when infestor move-burrow had to be researched and it doesn't have to anymore.

This will be my first todo for the map, as everyone and their dog seems to want this.

Improved "respawn units" - Sort of a tall suggestion, but would probably be the most helpful. It would be cool if instead of just having the options to "respawn units, or build new armies" if one could somehow not have to completely wipe the board when changing an army composition.
In other words, it would be great if i could open up the unit spawn panel, and edit what i have, or at the very least add some units to the armies, without losing everything i already have put down.
Honestly, this is probably beyond my abilities. It would require some sort of memory/data management so the unit list is stored, and then you'd need the UI elements to display and be able to edit it all efficiently. : /

Upgrades: Obviously some of the bugs with upgrades. With Zerg in particular, sometimes i need to build a hatchery, then a spawning pool, then a roach warren, then something else to get to a particular upgrade that isn't on the few zerg buildings that im supposed to upgrade from. nothing big but could be improved.
Which upgrades in particular? I thought I fixed all the upgrade bugs with the hotfix.

Builders - it's kind of annoying when u are trying to build a base, especially with zerg and you have to keep grabbing the builder, running him back, building something, he runs back, build another, etc. etc.
i understand why he's doing it, to get out of your way, but i think i could manage that fine, the "auto- runback" is a bit annoying especially since buildings dont insta-respawn. Anything that could make "structure creation" easier would be very appreciated.
I'll look into this.

Could you give me specific examples? If I can't test it and observe it myself it will be really hard to fix.

Bug: Infestors burrow and sometimes disappear? i dunno why, probably has to do with the fact that this was made during beta when infestor move-burrow had to be researched and it doesn't have to anymore.

this is really good but buggy. the "give all abilities" button doesn't work neither does the "give all upgrades". I believe its "shift click" and "control click" but neither works.

I don't have access to XGDragon's account on sc2mapster and I wouldn't want to put it up under my own name.

Are you referring to the May 17th build or the hotfix build? Everything is working for me in the hotfix build (except for StimPack, that will be fixed in the next one).

Improved "respawn units" - Sort of a tall suggestion, but would probably be the most helpful. It would be cool if instead of just having the options to "respawn units, or build new armies" if one could somehow not have to completely wipe the board when changing an army composition.
In other words, it would be great if i could open up the unit spawn panel, and edit what i have, or at the very least add some units to the armies, without losing everything i already have put down.
Honestly, this is probably beyond my abilities. It would require some sort of memory/data management so the unit list is stored, and then you'd need the UI elements to display and be able to edit it all efficiently. : /

Yea i figured it was probably pretty complicated. No big deal, it's a minor inconvenience, and if it requires tons of work, it's understandable that it probably wouldn't be worth it to wreck a brain over.

Upgrades: Obviously some of the bugs with upgrades. With Zerg in particular, sometimes i need to build a hatchery, then a spawning pool, then a roach warren, then something else to get to a particular upgrade that isn't on the few zerg buildings that im supposed to upgrade from. nothing big but could be improved.
Which upgrades in particular? I thought I fixed all the upgrade bugs with the hotfix.

Oh dang, im sorry. I didn't realize you already released a hotfix. I just downloaded it and all these problems are gone. awesome!


Bug: Respawn units doesn't always work right, im sure it's already been mentioned but i'll mention it again. i think it's related to the size of the terrain and the mass of units at one of the spawn points not having enough room to be placed, but im no expert, just guessing.
Could you give me specific examples? If I can't test it and observe it myself it will be really hard to fix.

I can't seems to replicate it, i had it happen to me several times to me with a specific unit composition but i forgot what it was and now i can't seem to get it to do it. I remember it was on the "open field" map though.
It hasn't happened in awhile though, i moved away from using "open field" because it used to do it so much to me, but oddly, it isn't doing it anymore. cool!

Bug: Infestors burrow and sometimes disappear? i dunno why, probably has to do with the fact that this was made during beta when infestor move-burrow had to be researched and it doesn't have to anymore.
I'll look into this.[/QUOTE]
again, hard to replicate, lol, i swear it was happening tho :p. Can't get it to do it again.

Massive thanks for updating this map!!!! i loved it but those minor quirks had me a bit reluctant to use it as often as i'd like. I've been using the hell out of it since your fixes though and happily becoming a better player!

some way to delete some of the units or kill them instantly would be nice, e.g. selecting a unit then pressing delete removes it.

Greetings,

First of all i would like to thank you with all my heart for such a great map.

I have been using it to understand unit counters and combinations etc and it has been very useful so far. but I found a couple of problem with it:

there are many upgrades and things like that that have not been updated to the game release, including:
- roach has 3 upgrades in Unit tester (UT) , in game it only has 2.
- Ultralisks have 2 upgrades in UT. only one upgrade is available in the game.
- infestor still has 3 upgrades, ingame only 2.

in addition, the following issues:
- (edit) cannot find the overlord speed upgrade, must build the hatchery to get it.
- cannot find the hydra range upgrade (i believe its something like grooved spines)
- the interface of units covers a part that shows the panel with resources on the right (edit: this is at 1024x768 resoltion), this is annoying because i have to build the units, the start then memorize the resource cost and then build the opponent units of similar cost.
- some bug occurs if you press escape multiple times fast, you get more and more resource panels on the right side. the more you press the more panels appear.

I have not tested other races extensively yet, but i'm guessing there are more stuff that are not as the current game is.

anyways thanks again and i hope you find my feedback useful.

Neato. This is an incredibly useful tool. Theorycrafters can actually cite some of their ideas using this which will help us skeptics out.

Also, I find it very fascinating how the upgrades for carapace help Zerglings substantially more than the melee attack upgrade. Knowing this kind of information is so insightful and helpful.

I've been trying to add some of the requested features, but it turns out there are some unavoidable bugs related to beta/retail maps that rear their ugly heads as soon as you change too much (for example when I tried to add the large, open battlefield). I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet and won't be able to make any major changes to the map untill I do.

@ZulFury
Thanks for making that TODO list, I wasn't sure about some upgrades and haven't had time to double-check. I will make a final "hotfix" version of XGDragon's original map with all upgrades working and upload it (hopefully) by tomorrow.

I just tried it, they do normal splash damage. As in normal multiplayer, the mutas have to be at least a little stacked.

There are some issues with unit costs in the latest version of the map.

ghost - 200/100, should be 150/150
observer - 75/125, should be 50/100
void ray - 300/150, should be 250/150
baneling - 25/25, should be 50/25
infestor - 100/100, should be 100/150
spore crawler - 100/0, should be 125/0

If I am not mistaken costs are pulled directly from the game files and then adjustments are made to those created from other units by adding a constant. Wouldn't it be a cleaner long term solution to do something like say: if unit type of created unit == spore crawler then modify mineral costs accumulated, and instead of doing +50 read the cost of the unit consumed and add that? Regarding the other unit types mentioned I assume those have something to do with the beta? Or I am totally overlooking something.

There is a new version of the map available. I fixed the trigger error messages and the costs that were being displayed incorrectly. There are a few other small fixes, check the notes for more.

You can download it over at it's sc2mapster.com development site, or the file page here.

The editor bug that keeps me from adding more areas seems to extend to everything that involves any sort of text changes, which stopped me from changing the back hotkey from Esc to F5 (as the text ingame would have still read "Hotkey: Escape". I think that means this is going to be the last update for the map, as I won't be able to make any more significant changes to the map.

Fixes / Notes:
+ Show Spoiler +
v0.8
Fixed:
- Corrected cost for various units, also including cost of morphing unit (thanks nailertn)
- Trigger error messages removed
- No longer possible to create more than one Leaderboard by pressing "back" key multiple times
- High Templars are now able to warp to Archons
- Pause before returning to menu reduced

I'm sorry, I don't have access to SC2 right now, otherwise I'd check myself, but can you control the units, or at the very least one side? It'd be a nice way to simultaneously include a unit tester and a unit micro map all in one nice little package.

Yes you can. You can control both sides- tell the sentry on one side to cast Guardian Shield, and the Marines on the other side to stim up, for instance.

Burrow would be nice to have as a research thing (I made a hatch etc, but you know).

Very nice work, and yes, a big large open expanse would be very nice as well (there's a button for it, but doesnt seem to do anything.)

There is also a good map called Unit_Test_Map by Superferret. You can do a lot more with it but Unit Tester is good if you want to run a lot of tests quickly.

One of my suggestions would be for a way to unupgrade stuff like weapons and armor. This way I can go back to testing basic stuff again without reloading the game.

It's actually implemented and quite easy to use. Just click on the upgrade button on the left side of the screen (it's the top one during battles).

You can also mouse over the button to see the alternative uses, such as upgrading all weapons and armor +1/+2/+3 (ctrl+click) or activating all abilities with one click (shift+click).

Thank you for the new version!
I'd like to report that something is wrong with changing the terrain, it's been the same in the old version too iirc. I can't use all of the different terrains - Standard, Small Choke and Ramp work but all of the other don't, I can't switch to them :/

The other terrain options were never implemented.

I have tried to add them, but because the map was originally created in beta it breaks as soon as I change anything.

Could you make a way to place a planetary fortress? Every time I have to test one, I place the command center, but then I have to wait the full 50 seconds for it to build. Maybe just change the pf build time to like 5?

Map has been updated again! Many improvements over the original and probably the cleanest, most feature complete unit tester out there. Much thanks to XGDragon, the original author, and EyeSeeEm, who fixed many bugs. I will continue to take requests for new features.

To use offline: Open file in Map Editor and press Ctrl+F9.
TheUnitTester_v0.92.SC2Map

To use online: Search "UnitTesterOnline" on NA server. Works with one or two players.

Changelog:

+ Show Spoiler +

0.92 (online 1.12)
-added "attack" button functions: shift+click orders only red, ctrl+click orders only blue
-added game timer: uses real time, resets upon start and respawn
-added option: enable or disable instant build and research
-reworked "back to unit creator" button: no longer destroys units and picks last player/race for you
-reworked "control of unit creator" option: players without control can no longer use hotkeys to control unit creator
-fixed: Xel'Naga tower now works properly under "no shared vision"
-fixed: pausing game will now always have "pause" message

Comments: The change to attack should allow you to position your units and defend against a wave of AI-controlled units. By disabling instant build, you can now also test timing and reinforcement.

0.91 (online 1.11)
http://rapidshare.com/files/444206047/TheUnitTester_v0.91.SC2Map
-added ready buttons to make multiplayer easier
-added text confirmation for controller change
-fixed zerg losing buildings during extended games

Comments: When both players have control of the UI, things may get disorganized. Communicate, allow one person at a time to build units, and use the new "ready" buttons to switch players. You could also use the option to disable control.

0.90 (online 1.10)
http://rapidshare.com/files/442664231/TheUnitTester_v0.90.SC2Map
-critical fix: some abilities were always researched during start
-critical fix: some abilities wouldn't research for blue player in single player mode
-critical fix: delete button wouldn't work for blue player in single player mode
-Protoss Builder can now build xel'naga tower
-Terran Builder can now instantly build orbital command and planetary fortress
-Zerg Builder can now instantly build lair, hive, greater spire, and nydus worm
-normally built nydus worm has normal speed
-upgrades rearranged for more intuitive feel
-removed flux vanes from all abilities

Comments: You now have access to instant buildings through the builder, which allows me to remove custom stats from most units. This should make the map resilient to patch changes.

0.89 (online 1.7)
http://rapidshare.com/files/442260183/TheUnitTester_v0.89.SC2Map
-fixed patch bug with SCV repair
-fixed menu bug

Comments: Damnit patch 1.2

0.88 (online 1.6)
http://rapidshare.com/files/442084424/TheUnitTester_v0.88.SC2Map
-creating units is faster
-removing units is faster
-energy button now also refreshes cooldown for corruptor, thor, and stalker
-respawn button now keeps created buildings
-respawn button + shift destroys created buildings
-new UI messages for most actions
-removed unnecessary actors and abilities
-removed unnecessary buildings
-removed many runtime threads
-fixed bug with mirror button destroying builders
-fixed bug with not enough supply
-fixed bug with hotkeys not responding
-fixed bug with nydus canal
-fixed bug with sentry creation

Comments: I have removed and optimized a good deal of triggers and data in the game. The general effect is that most actions are noticeably faster, but this may be at the cost of some stability. We'll wait and see.

0.87 (online 1.5)
http://rapidshare.com/files/440532134/TheUnitTester_v0.87.SC2Map
-replays are now disabled
-new options menu
-new option to choose only one player to control UI
-new option to set upgrades before start
-new option to set energy before start
-new button to switch places
-new button to mirror forces
-upgrades button no longer destroys remaining units
-attack button now works even if you own buildings
-zerg builders are easier to find after morphing
-removed some icons and replaced with text
-fix shift and ctrl keys messing up during lag
-fix spectator mode for players 3-8

Comment: These new features are probably the last ones that will be added, as I don't think the map needs anything else. The options menu is simply a more intuitive version of the attack panel.

0.86 (online 1.4)
http://rapidshare.com/files/439738619/TheUnitTester_v0.86.SC2Map
-new terrain "expansion" with mineral line on high ground
-new terrain "arena" has smaller area for quicker fights
-hotkeys for unit creation now use more SCII defaults
-added delete button, same function as backspace
-Unit Creator can now create motherships. I decided against using the one per player limit, since this is a unit tester after all.
-loading screen now includes some instructions
-camera actions added for second player
-cameras now pan to current spawn location
-terrain, points, and regions optimized
-add hotkey "+" for respawn
-add help button to attack options

Map has been published under name Unit Tester Online. Search for "UnitTesterOnline" on North American servers. You can contribute by uploading on to other servers.

-For one player, map should work exactly like it does offline. Player can control either left or right armies and all functions work.

-For two players, first player can control only left and second player can control only right. Either player can use unit creator or battle options.

-Additional players are spectators.

I tried uploading this to the EU server to play with my friend but it seems to screw up all the writing.

all text is replaced with PARAM/VALUE/xxxxxxxxx where x stand for different letters and numbers

oddly enough I dont get this when playing offline by myself.

I'm not entirely sure how to get locales to work properly. I'll look into it.

Bring back icons for terrain types. And add some info, that second click on the race will display upgrades of this race.

And can you add option for turn ON/OFF fast creep spread? Because sometimes need slow creep spread for some tests

Icons for terrain type will not be brought back. They were poor representatives of the terrain and conveyed almost no information. This also makes it easier to add new terrain.

The upgrade information was on the button's tooltip. I'll re-add the help screen in the next version.

Creep spread option is an excellent idea, I never really thought about it. It will be implemented in the next version.

-Many different terrains, wide chokes, wide ramps etc. Preferably, every map in the ladder pool could be practiced in the unit tester. I can see if that isn't possible though. Done. Not implemented in official version. PM me to get a version that includes your choice of ladder map."

I'd like to know how do we add our own map for this unit tester. Thanks a lot, this is surely a helper map.

Currently I match tilesets, then copy and paste over terrain, doodads, and units. You also have to move the points marked "ladder" to the appropriate location. If there's interest I could add some triggers to make the process easier.

The button's functionality has changed. You do a normal click on it to learn all abilities. Shift clicking will upgrade weapons and armor to level 3 or reset it to level 0. If you're having problems, try using the options, it has a more visual confirmation.
