StarCraft Mass Recall: SC1 campaigns on SC2 thread - Page 43

-Several areas throughout campaign where subtitles, tips, or in one case, entire briefings show a "param/value" error (Briefing issue: Episode 3, Mission 9).

-Raynor (Vulture) attack speed issue (Should be 1.3, not 1.8)

-Raynor (Marine) Damage should be 18 before upgrades; currently 15 at level 3 upgrades.

-Raynor (Vulture) has Vulture speed upgrade built-in, rather than having higher base speed. -Raynor (Vulture) and Fenix (Zealot) should have higher base speed, and further benefit from base unit's speed upgrade.

-Hyperion attack speed issue (should be 1.3, not 1.8)

-Upon inspection of Starcraft 1 files, Zeratul is among the heroes that attacks faster than the base unit, and as such should be adjusted to a 1.3 attack speed. I will note that I feel embarassed, as fairly early on in the topic, when I first started bringing up heroes and attack speeds, I insisted Kerrigan (Ghost) shot faster than normal, which is not true. Normal ghosts fire just as quickly, which is already accurate in the mod. I just feel ashamed, as I am usually good at remembering these details.

-Siege Tank should have 150 health, not 160.

-Several minor unit dialogue issues (only minor annoyances; randomized order on annoyed quotes for some, Duran's talking animation continues too long, etc). I'm not sure if these issues carry into the "Retro" version of the mod as well, as I did not have the Retro mod installed until now, and it's too late to do any more testing, as I'm now going to bed >_>

-There are several issues of units or upgrades being available before they are supposed to be. Examples I can think of right away: both the Medic and the Valkyrie are available the level before their introduction. I don't remember if this happened in other campaigns as well, though the Charon Boosters in Episode 5: Mission 1 is not disallowed as the Update Patch notes indicated.

-Dark Swarm blocks not only damage from being the primary target of a ranged attack, but also blocks splash damage from ranged attacks like the Siege Tank. In Brood War, while Siege Tanks could not land direct attacks, their attacks in Siege Mode still did Splash damage to those under the Dark Swarm. This is due to the odd way Starcraft 1 handled a "missed" ranged attack; it shifted the point of impact for any ranged attack to a blank spot/target/area/whatever just slightly off of the intended target. With most attacks, this nullifies the damage entirely, but Siege Moded tanks still did Splash damage, as the explosion was simply moved very slightly in whatever direction.

-Episode 2: Mission 1. While possibly an intentional change, the Young Chrysalis was simply an item that could be picked up by a drone, and was not attackable. I cannot confirm, but I suspect the loss condition tied to "protecting the chrysalis" was an enemy reaching the beacon the Chrysalis was sitting on. But again, I don't have access to the original campaigns in the editor to look at triggers and conditions and such.

-Episode 2: Mission 4. Zasz doesn't scream at us that the Chrysalis is opening, and to not let any Terrans near it at the 30 second mark.

-Episode 2: Mission 9. Protoss forces largely ignore the Crystal as it is being harvested; they should be prioritizing your forces near the Khaydarin Crystal once the drone is brought there over attacking your base.

-Episode 3: Mission 1. Fenix starts his dialogue about the Zerg on Aiur, worthy foes, etc, upon first entering combat. This dialogue was reserved until the end of the level in the original.

-Episode 4: Mission 4. Raszagal's speech about working together with Kerrigan during the briefing is skipped; it goes from Kerrigan saying "I'll aid you with your search" straight to Artanis saying "We will do what you ask, Matriarch."

-Episode 4: Mission 7. While patch notes for the mod and maps state that an issue was fixed with Aldaris' dialogue in this mission, I still found that Aldaris used the same quote when both of his fakes were killed. ("You didn't think I'd be caught so easily, did you Executor? You have only destroyed a phantom.") If it makes any difference, I generally kill the western most fake, then the eastern fake. The second fake killed should provoke a different, longer taunt in which he implicates the Matriarch and uses fancy words like "Simulacrum".

-Episode 5: Mission 3. Whenever a Hive is destroyed, the trigger that causes that base's AI to cease, and cause their units to wander also affects the player's units, all of them on the map. They will receive periodic "move" commands in the general vicinity of where the unit was when the Hive died. I'm not certain whether units in a bunker are affected, but placing a unit into a bunker after the fact does not correct this. This process repeats each time a Hive is killed.
In addition, the patch notes stated that when only one Hive is remaining, the survivor gains 3/3 upgrades and the Adrenal Glands upgrade. This does not occur; at the very least, not when Purple (the base raised on a cliff) is the final Hive.

-Episode 5: Mission 5. The "Birds of War" version of this map is mis-labeled on the loading screen as "Ground Zero."

-Episode 5: Mission 8. AI players do not cease activity when their Cerebrate is killed. Their special power ceases to function, and they do not attempt to rebuild lost structures, but unit production and aggression continues, though aggression is perhaps weakened; after defeating Brown's Cerebrate (the Torrasque cerebrate), I was not attacked at my main base by brown's forces again, though I later had ground forces moving through the map intercepted by a large cluster of their Mutalisks. Red (the Sunken Colony cerebrate) only attacked once after the Cerebrate's death. I suspected I had destroyed his only Hatchery, but this was not the case.

There was one person who commented that Resurrection IV does not contain any voiceovers: This is actually NOT an issue, the reason for this is because Blizzard never released any voiceovers for this map, as it was never released for the PC; only Starcraft for the N64 received this map officially. Fans recreated it for the PC, but Blizzard never made an official PC release... and the N64 game did not include voiceovers for this mission.

Also, I have not yet gone through episode 6, but I'll keep an eye out for issues when I do.
