I was always waiting for somebody to pick up this type of custom map as it was incredibly usefull and finally we have it

There's a post on reddit by Utilael for a HotS Build Order Tester. He isn't able to make a thread here right now due to new user restrictions but will make an official thread in a couple days. Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1e96t6/hots_build_order_tester/

You can find the map in the arcade by searching 'hots bot'


Search 'hots bot' in the arcade to find it. It is published in all regions.

This is my first sc2 map so please let me know what you think. I wanted a HotS version of YABOT honestly, and since I couldn't find anything to my liking I decided to make my own. I added on a couple of extra features that I will explain in more detail.

It has only been in the making for a week so any feedback or error reports would be gratefully received. My friend and I tested it pretty thoroughly, but if you do find anything or want to give comments or feedback feel free to email us at 4tonsc2@gmail.com.

Here are a list of the current known issues, and I do plan to fix most of them but they'll probably be on the back-burner until I fix any bugs that might be found by the public:

-Orbital Command, Planetary Fortress, Lair, Hive, Greater Spire, Overseer and Brood Lord do not register as a unit when it is made/morphed

-Zerg larva is a couple moments slow due to annoying larva spawn issue

-Upon completion of certain units (MSC) an internal (not mine) script error sometimes appears

-If you cancel a building after completing it, the objective will not reset to uncompleted

-If you cancel a unit (including a worker), the next objective's supply result will display the wrong supply

-Whatever race you choose the UI and narrator will stay that race for the duration of the game regardless of which race you choose to play within the BOT

-The game calls Grooved Spines: hydraliskspeed, I don't know why but it's rather annoying to fix

Sometimes the map will not initialize the starting values for the reset time, record upgrade and worker count check boxes. I don't know why and am looking into it. Fixed!

-Saved camera locations do not reset with game reset

And on a side note, I do feel like the loading screen and icon are a little tacky so if anyone wants to help with that let me know and I will properly credit you in the loading screen.

And the Changelog: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?htf3ulxp5o4tzhi

Alright, so about the BOT: I designed it to allow for a large amount of custom builds and in-game build editing. You can define a build and play it out first and the game will record and save your build order.

Type 'reset' to return to the build order screen.

You can then edit the build order to your liking with a maximum of 21 entries. If you set the supply for an objective to '0', the game will treat it as a "comment", and if you want you can choose what unit/structure/upgrade needs to be built to complete that objective (even if it's a comment) or leave it as <None> and it will never complete.



if a moderater feels the need to move this into an appropiate section please do so

It's pretty cool, though it has a number of bugs; I'm sure they can be ironed out

Thanks MisterTea,

I'll post updates here in the comments for now: I just uploaded the latest patch that fixes these issues:
+ Show Spoiler +
-Orbital Command, Planetary Fortress, Lair, Hive, Greater Spire, Overseer and Brood Lord do not register as a unit when it is made/morphed
-Sometimes the map will not initialize the starting values for the reset time, record upgrade and worker count check boxes
-Overlord speed does not reset with map reset


And I am currently working on revamping the build select UI and adding an optional score screen and quick reset.

If you do find a bug please post it or send an email to 4tonsc2@gmail.com so we can improve this map and make it fun for everyone!

Thanks!

Alright, I remade the build selection dialog and added two options at the bottom for player 1: Quick Reset and Wait for Reset. The quick reset will skip the build selection dialog if you type -r or if the timer runs out and the option is enabled. The wait for reset is a temporary fix that will show a button asking for both players to continue before the objectives are destroyed so that you can review how you did.

I also fixed the issue:
+ Show Spoiler +
-If you cancel a unit (including a worker), the next objective's supply result will display the wrong supply


I uploaded the update just now, let me know if you encounter any issues.
Also any feedback is much appreciated, let me know what you think of the new build selection dialog

I need someone's help, some people in the European server are getting the param/value instead of the text. I only have English installed so I cannot test it for another language. I copied the English text to all the locals so I'm hoping that works but if there someone who plays in a different language could you test it for me please? Thanks so much!
Edit: Never mind, worked it out

thank you for that, that's a great tool

I saw this on reddit :

that sounds like a good idea to implement, but the short answer is that you need to make them for yourself because it saves your data in a bank and the way I organized the bank will make it difficult to import profiles, if I can come up with some way to do it though I just might take the time to implement this!


did you have time to work on this ?
Importing builds from a parser would be a great plus
