DiscipleOfAdun ive already fixed that bug

and also the buttons for supply are not in any of the MPQ's from my knowledge so i added a script that loads them from \*race*\icons\supply.grp


so far it works well

and also i have stubled across a private b.net that right now is doing testing on pizudraft

cause im sure that blizz would do anything they can to stop pizudraft to be completed

Well I know VB. And I have a book on C++ that I haven't touched in a while... I don't know a whole lot about how StarCraft works, but I have a very good friend and a whole website that does. I'll learn it eventually. If I can't help on the programming part then I'd like to help test it.

An idea if it's possible:
Unit ranking, meaning after they kill a certain number of units they increase in rank and get upgrades from it. Or assign every unit/structure a value. When the units kill a certain multiple of their value, they increase in rank.

As I just said, the graphics for supply is stored in game\icons.grp which is located in StarDat.mpq. It is an alpha-gfx file that does not follow the standard specs of the other .grps.

You know, you should post some screens showing a new race. The proof will probably help you find people to help. I mean, anyone can say they've done something, but once you prove it, you'll probably get more support. Or not, whatever you please to do. Just saying...

Wtf is the "New race" hype, anyways?

Is it just something completely farking useless, like, at the waiting screen, it changes the names of the race from protoss to blahblahblah or something? BIG farkING DEAL

ADDITION:
QUOTE(TERRAINFIGHTER @ Jan 27 2006, 07:05 PM)

  • teleport units from 1 building to the other (like nydas cannal)
  • add ability for units to convert resources to other resource types (and charge a little fee)

[right][snapback]414613[/snapback][/right]

Can be done using simple triggers and locations

QUOTE(TERRAINFIGHTER @ Jan 27 2006, 07:05 PM)

  • make units be able to attack when loaded (like bunker)

[right][snapback]414613[/snapback][/right]

Units actually CAN attack while they are in bunkers.. duh..

He means you can add races, you can play with Zerg, Terran, Protoss, and add the race Hookers if you wanted to...

QUOTE

People will want to make a mod to have buildings able to teleport people like nydus instead of just making a map with it...

He's talking about adding the ability to load into another building other than bunker and having them shoot from it...

So? Aren't the icons for the supply in the right hand corner? It's okay if the left is all blurry. All I want to see is just a little proof....not much. That should be enough for me, just seeing a new icon in the supply area is enough.

The point of it is to have new modding effects. What if I want a building that teleports things in a melee game? Then I'm screwed without modding it in. What if I want a building that teleports that works on future maps?

The purpose of a fourth race? What is the purpose of making UMS maps? Same answer, it's fun. tongue.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Azu on 2006-02-07 at 21:21:46
UMS map gameplay is differant due to triggers, sounds, locations, switches, custom unit stats/names, and rectangular terrain..

What will selecting "Hookers" as race change in the game-play? Also, will Hookers have a differant UI like Protoss Terrain and Zerg do?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by pizuscag on 2006-02-07 at 21:46:37
yes it will have a different interface

and azu if you dont uderstand what we are doing here leave and stop clutering up the fourm

ALSO HELP

When you take a screenshot, a file labeled Screen##.pcx should appear in your SC directory.

Look, if you dont understand what a mod is then dont go in the modding forum and talk like we're all idiots

heres a few little facts about mods

1. you change more then the little attack and stuff in modding (you can even edit graphics)
2. this isnt use map settings, in use map settings you create triggers and locations, in modding you change units completely (even adding abilities like burrow to a probe if you wanted)
3. we know a few of these things can be done with triggers, but it works differantly in mods, example: instead of having a trigger move units near the building, they can stand beside it without being moved unless they right click on it to move "in" it
4. mods dont require use map settings and can be playd in melee with everything still working

Thanks. That's all I was asking. Because you didn't say anywhere on here before that it had a different user interface, so the impression that I got was that all you could do was click on a different race in the starting screen and that was all and it wouldn't do anything in-game. Thanks for FINALLY clarifying. Also, you might want to take a course on basic reading comprehension. Bye.

I have a feeling that he isn't really making this. As much as I would like to say he is, I fear we have another Puni on our hands.

For those of you who do not know him... He was a major thief, and a liar. Not that I am saying pizu is any of those. I am just very skeptical about this whole thing. It is very easy to change what you did, simply by editing it in paint.

Why don't you show us a "real" picture, something that stands out. Or, maybe you can post some part of the code that isn't very vital. BEcause if you post it here, people will know that you are the one that did it.


@Azu
Please do not come in here making acusations. Modding is much harder than UMS will ever be. It is fun for people to challenge themselves and see how far they can get before they "hurt themselves". wink.gif

Modding is just another way to puch Starcraft to it's limits. Which is one of the reasons it is a lot of fun.
