I am somewhat new to extended units, but i know how to put them into my map. All i want to know is if anyone else knows any extended units that dont crash SC, and are somewhat useful. Thanks!

I suggest not to use extended units besides those of which you can normally place in any editor, just don't make the ones that you have to change to ID number of the unit.
We used to be making a lsit of extended units but we noticed that almost all of them would crash your game or they weren't useable so there really is no point in using them.

BeeR, you're getting worse and worse. tongue.gif We were making a list, but we stopped beacuase there were too many of them (65535). Some do have uses (such as arbiter cloaking field). But now extended units and players are screwed over by 1.12 patch sad.gif

Out of the hundreds maybe even thousands that were tested only 1 or 2 were usefull but really didn't do anything special.

Evidently you don't think like a programmer. While I'm just getting into programming, I know that almost all use powers of two. the number most likely was 2^16, or 65536. Maybe a 0 was also included, so the list only went up to 65535. Just nitpicky me. =)

In any case, was this arbiter cloaking field found?

Yes, I do. I just never bother to add one. Limits are always 2^x - 1, and I am in that mindset. So truthfully, I think more like a programmer than you tongue.gif

Wait a second however. Those limits aren't actually minus one, unless 0 is not a state alterable. For example, upgrades in SC can be at one of 256 states, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 255. So the limited number is 256 in that case. Anyway where is Heimdal when you need him. I gave him a damned Karma point he's supposed to be here by now.

Point taken, but you always deal with 2^x - 1 as a max because programmers ALWAYS use 0.

this max is 255, etc.

All the extended units have to be found again becuase of the new patch.
The 1.11 Arbitor Cloaking field unit was 6178.

Blu, is that one for the new patch?

Ooh. What languages if any do you know? I'm learning VB right now and am probably going to take a C/C++ course over this summer.

I know SOME VB and Java, and a lot of Python. (and turtle graphics, if that counts tongue.gif )
Report, edit, etc...Posted by RexyRex on 2005-02-26 at 01:00:42
Ugh, whats Python? Whats turtle graphics?
I know HTML, CSS, and PHP. I had to throw in those first two becuase I know nothing else.
Again, we go off topic... crazy.gif
