Rawrz!!!
Anyways basically i wanted to make the game "Battle Tanx" Based on the n64 game. Personally, i havn't even started the terrain or anything. If you don't know what battle tanx is. Here is some information :
Its a 1-4 player game on n64
You can pick any type of team (not in sc game)
You may pick up weapons to use for more damage ( in sc game )
Pick your own Game Type : Either Queen Lord or Free for All
Pick 5 tanks for each game (w00t)
Anyways Here is how the weapon system will work :
W E A P O N S Y S T E M I N S E N F O R M A T
omg ownage
Anyways weapons will randomely appear at 18 locations on the map ( arena based) and if you pick up the weapon it will be added to your inventory. There is two ways i am thinking on doing this
1) if you get a certain weapon it will be added as a (crystal) or anytype of powerup.
2) if you get a certain weapon it will be added to a dropship method!
Information about 1)
There will be a small 12x12 terrain pallatte and when it get a item it will be moved there. And you will use a SCV or probe to go to the item "Use" once you do the weapon will be succefully spawned.
Information about 2)
If this one is used then the inventory will be used as Units ( the real weapon will be seen as a powerup) but anyways if this way is used you will be limited only 8 weapons at a time. ONCE you use the weapon it will automatically be removed.
Weapons :
The big gun!!(basically the AA gun) It's used as a default
Machine gun!!!(basically army piercing AB or something) Depends on tank
Guided Missles : Once used your tank will be gived to a comp player so you can control the missle, Once the missle is gone your tank will be given back.
Plasma : Shoot it and it bounces all over the place!
Bouncing Betty's : A weapon that is very harmful, Lay it and when a tank goes over it tons of mini so called lasers will shoot out.
Mines : Ooh the typical mine, Lay it and if a tank goes over it BOOM
Swarmers : ranging from 1-5 missles fire at a time
Gun Buddies : Lay these gun buddies and they are sure to help
Nuke : The most powerful weapon on this game ( explodes most of the tanks ) Depending on size of tank and near location.
Lasers : A very useful Weapon, Once shot it takes about half a second to reach its enemy depending on how far enemy is.
Teleporters : w00t a random teleporter!
Health : Only 2 of these each game.
GamePlay :
QueenLords
IF there is 4 players this game will be awesome with queenlords. Here are the objectives of this game : Capture ALL 4 of the queens to win. Each base will be protected by Two gun buddies : Note gun buddies are killable<---(My definition for getting killed). And go around killing tanks and roam the streets for weapons and blah blah 0 1 0001 hablo espanol lol
GamePlay :
Free For All
ranging from 1-4 players, Kill all the other tanks. Reach a certain amount of kills to win! yay. Basically your objective is to kill all the other tanks for points : TANKS WILL RESPAWN RANDOMELY :
Units :
Seige Tank = Goliath Tank
Vulture = those small tanks that shoot machine guns
Goliath = A tank with two AA guns
Zergling = REALLY SMALL TANKs = really hard to kill
Lurker = Flame Tank (Note) One will be burrowed and one will not. so the burrowed one will be dragged
Reaver = Normal Tank
And...thats basically it.

basically i don't even know if i will do it. The whole weapon system will take about 2-3 days for it to even work. But everything else, my god thats a ton of work. But if i get enough replies maybe i will make it.

I've never played battle tanks, but it sounds like a kickass SC map if you can pull it off. You should make it.

I made a map that was suppoed to be battle tanks about a year ago. I didn't include all the power ups or tanks but it was still good, my suggestion, make the maps small like 96x96 at most, and make the goliath on rail. I used a siege tank in siege mode and had it stuck to an observer that moved back and forth.
