 i am also confused about the way to create a custom game. i think you used to be able to "create custom game" or something and then choose the settings and the map etc, seems you have to search for the map you want to play in the "bnet online map library", to then open that game. only halfway decent way to handle this is to bookmark all the good maps? any other thoughts?^^ | ||

If you played or have seen a "un" map and you wish to publish it on "eu".. you can download it through the editor if it is not locked. | ||

I copy-pasted some terrain while messing around with an old concept and a bunch of ramps appeared out of nowhere.

Edit2: More info I created the map before HotS and was messing around with it, I use a mac, it's meinhoff textures, no custom textures or cliffs, and I was able to erase the weird ramps. | ||

I need to figure out what the max range is and edit my rock tower thread lol probably will do that sometime later tonightWhat I'm interested in mostly is: can I turn it off? Because I think it's kind of weird that you kill two units that are visually split. | ||

if I publish a map with the Sc2-Editor, can everyone play it? or just people on my server? | ||

This is due to a "conjoined" behavior on the unit that makes other units with the same behaviour share stats. Just remove the behaviour the from unit in the data editor.

Everyone on your server with the same dependencies will be able to play it if it is made public. The important things to note is that you are required to published to each individual region if you want it globally available. Also if the game uses hots dependencies only people with hots will be able to play its; it will not even appear for anyone with just wol. | ||

Besides that, I updated my "How to detect if a unit is facing a target before attacking (unprotected)" map on the NA server. (Also it's under "Custom Games" and not Arcade in case anyone is wondering.) The map is just an attempt at bringing back BW style Mutalisk Dancing... in a different way (by giving a speed and acceleration boost if you attack at full speed and without turning). I added things like using "Patrol" to activate the speed boost (similar to how in BW, you can use Mutalisk to patrol against Scourge) and I tried adding "Instant Turning" when you right click or do a move command (and I'm not sure if it's working right... my Mutalisk still sometimes move in a curve at high speeds). (Also as for Patrol, there isn't a check yet, so you can technically just "patrol move" everywhere instead of a-move. I could make it so that patrol simply makes it so the Mutalisk turns instantly backwards if there is a target behind it, without losing speed via forcing the Mutalisk to just turn backwards if there is an enemy behind it... which I'll probably try later actually since it sounds closer to BW patrol.) I also added a "Super Scourge" to micro against. (The Super Scourge will keep spawning a new one back if it gets to attack.) You can add more Super Scourges in the map by typing "-SpawnScourge". The online lag may make things hard but you can download the map or open it in the editor and use "Test Document" to play it locally without any lag. Anyway, the point of the map is just food for thought and I think the concept of it (how I set up the behaviors) may be some help to map makers. In the data editor, remember you can set "Data Source" (which is to the right of the "Search Bar") to the map name, this shows all the changes I made into the map. I know SCBW mod and other mods probably made better versions of Mutalisk Dancing in BW but this is just my own attempt at "something" like it (in this case, again you get a speed boost if you attack a target at full speed, without turning, if you use patrol, and you can instantly turn if you just click at unit to turn). Also for a simple version what the map does and tries to show - What the map simply shows, like the map name states, is how to detect if a unit is facing the target before attacking. I used a behavior that is only applied if the unit is moving 3.74 speed or higher, and the behavior that is applied lasts 0.07 seconds. This behavior is required for the "Speed Boost" effect to apply, when you attack with the Mutalisk. The Mutalisk has to attack within those 0.07 seconds. This means, if you just "attack move" something behind you (for example), the Mutalisk will attempt to turn but by the time it turns, the buff will wear off and you won't get be able to take advantage of the speed boost buff. So, that's a simple way of allowing you to try to detect if a unit is facing a certain direction (when it moves) before it attacks. This just means "attack moving" and "hold positioning" requires you to pay attention to the direction the Mutalisk is facing before you attack. Anyway, again I hope some people find the map somewhat useful in that regard (it's not just for this either.. I guess it can help you become more creative with how you link multiple behaviors together too). ________________________ Besides that I also (In terms of map making in general) + Show Spoiler + I have a 80% finished Dark Deeds clone with bot support. I know there is already a Dark Deeds map on but this one I try to copy exactly in the original (I actually have an unprotected version of Dark Deeds Final from WC3 >.>). Almost everything is done except the recipes/items (which were tedious for me since making items with effects is so "labor extension" in SC2) and the day/night mechanic (which is simple) and I haven't imported all the sound effects/icons (actually importing the stuff and setting up actors for even just sounds is somewhat tedious too). I copied most of all the WC3 abilities and most of all WC3 units exactly (I made sure to time scale it too by multiplying it by 1.38, since in WC3, the game time and real life time were the same at the fastest setting, while SC2 everything is 38% faster on fastest). My favorite ones are the "Crypt Lord" one where I managed to make Impale similar to the WC3 version... with the fact that the sound only activates on the first hit of any unit, instead of all units hit too! And also I copied the Panda Split ability for the Witch Doctor (which has a neat effect). The best part about the map is I managed to add bots in it (bots aren't too great currently but they work). One philoshopy I have with all the maps I make is to always add bots (because making bots is fun and cool). I've always been a fan of POD bots from C.S. (especially how they chat too and can respond to things you say) and I wanted to add not only bots but chatting bots too! If I don't finish Dark Deeds Redux, I might just upload it unprotected too in case anyone wants to see what I did there (I know there is already another Dark Deeds too... but I actually always wanted to make an updated version of Dark Deeds ever since WC3... I even made a post on it in Hiveworkshop back in like 2008, before SC2 was even released, to prove that!... and also that's why I actually have an unprotected version of WC3 Dark Deeds Final >.>). Nearly every single ability is triggered (things like healing wave, impale, etc) and that means copying and pasting it is much easier (that and it's easier to control/modify triggered/scripted abilities than ones made with the data editor). | ||
