What I mean is that mules might put themselves on the side that gets trapped and therefore maybe 30% of the time they'll be useless. We'll see though. Yeah I found an 896x896 picture before your first post with that actually Terrain is like 99% and it's looking goooood!!! I will probably put a progress report here later today when I think I can't make it any better to see if there's anything I missed (alt-tabbing between my overlay and the editor as much as I am has the potential to give anyone a seizure!). I'm trying to make this as close to the original as possible... someone who's played the original thousands of times should get some serious dejavu factor when they play this one. Every last inch of the map is going to be pretty frikkin close to the original... the only real problem is the way the tiles in the original worked themselves: in sc2 we have perfect 45 degree increment angles on everything, but in sc1 it was 22.5 degree angles, 67.5 degree angles and 135 degree angles. I'm doing the best I can with it though. Re: mules. If the mules get stuck sometimes, you can always call them down to patches where they can't get stuck. If worse comes to worse, you can call them down away from patches and manually send them to mine. There should be no reason to get them stuck (although it's nice map design to not have this kind of booby trap in the first place). | ||

Most of that coming from the angle rendering I mentioned earlier, but perhaps about 1% comes from me making the entrances seem correct (some entrances took 3 buildings to wall off, one of them took 5). All main->nat entrance now take 4 buildings to wall off, some better than others. Some require 4 barracks, some require 3 barracks and a supply depot (or addon). Any feedback appreciated. This is near pixel perfect! Just a feeeew nit-pics the 4:30 nat extends a bit too far downward The 3'oclock and 4:30 river could use a touch up, including the 4:30 choke The bulge into the lake inbetween the 12 oclock expansion and the 3oclock expansion is a bit too big Other than that, it is damn pixel perfect! Absolutely awesome. Do you think that you will be able to get the green patches, the unbuildable patches, and the cliffs as close to the original as the rest of the map? Also, I don't remember the chokes being that huge, but I guess it is a product of making the map bigger, and how the unit/building size ratio is a bit different in sc2 compared to sc1. I look forward to any more progress! | ||

Progress Report #1 (there will probably be 2-3 more reports before I'm done) + Show Spoiler [MINE] + + Show Spoiler [ORIGINAL] + Buildings shown to give idea of sizes. I am happy to say that I think there is less than a 5% differential from this version than the original. Most of that coming from the angle rendering I mentioned earlier, but perhaps about 1% comes from me making the entrances seem correct (some entrances took 3 buildings to wall off, one of them took 5).

Dude, that looks totally perfect. To my eyes, just the right size and everything. I can't wait to see how it looks and plays when you're done. | ||

I've started one myself. + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + Some things are still not right, like chokes and such, but it won't be hard to fix. Glad we're releasing on different servers, so there'll be a different TL BGH for EU and for NA. | ||

Good luck with the terrain and the mineral/gas placement. As for the grass texture, I think somewhat close to the original would be best, but that's just me . I'll check back in soon and provide some feedback. I always loved how BGH was somewhere between "fastest possible" and "standard". I hope the new one has the same feel! EDIT: I think i see some more nit-picky stuff. After I'm done with my exam (wednesday) I'll take it into paint.net and mark it up. For now, I made this animated GIF to help you spot the differences: or try here: http://picasion.com/show/15715377/ | ||

@Koagel: there is no such thing as "too big", BGH was always bigger then you would have needed it to be. | ||

If he wants to copy the original map, it can definitely be too big, although I'm not sure if it is actually. I was not talking about gameplay. | ||
