Okay...here's how this works. I put up a question about SC, and when it is solved, I donate a specific amount of minerals to the Summer Modding Contest. the longer it takes to solve, the less minerals. Sometimes, I'll also give clues to help solve them.
Okay...so the are bigger amounts now...
Also, this isn't taking time away from FG...don't worry.
You'll also notice I didn't put this in a mineral forum...
The First question:
What does the cheat 'noglues' do?SOLVED: By Voyager7456(MM), 340 minerals donated.
Worth: 350 mins. -5 mins each day it isn't solved.
You have to tell me when it works/when it doesn't work to solve this one.
Here's some hints:
1. It lasts between games.
2. It does what it says.
3. Look in an MPQ for help.
4. You will not see the effect immedieatly after enabling the cheat.
5. It doesn't affect everything you find in the MPQ...only some of them.
6. This doesn't affect the computer or you during a game.
The Second question:
Modders, you know that the speed of buildings is hardcoded. If I wanted to make a unit travel at the same top speed, what speed value would I put in flingy.dat's top speed field?
REWORDED: Okay...first of all, if you change top speed for a building in flingy.dat, it doesn't move any faster! The Exe changes the value when the unit lifts off. Now, what is that value? This is what I want. To find it, copy the stats of a building to an air unit, then start guessing the top speed and comparing the movement of the building and unit. If you get close, you can use my divisible clues to find out the actual value. Solved by dumbducky. 340 mins sent(odd huh...) Bonus question put up...
Worth: 400 mins. -10 mins each day it isn't solved.
Here's some hints:
1. Acceleration(DatEdit) is not overwritten.
2. This speed is lower than the flingy.dat speeds the buildings have set...
3. The value is not a byte, it's bigger than that.
4. I'd suggest modding then comparing a unit to the building to solve.
5. The answer is divisible by 2. And by 4. And by 8, and 16, and 32, and 64.
Good luck solving these...more to come as I think of them. Also, I'm not always on, so don't be mad if I don't say it's right just after you post.
Okay...so the are bigger amounts now...
Also, this isn't taking time away from FG...don't worry.

This is rather pointless but to answer them...
1. this makes the computer unable to use certain cheats like operation cwal when you enable them.
2. 427

Not pointless. If I was involved more in the contest, the I wouldn't do this, but I'm not entering and I can't judge....so this is my way of being involved.

If I read the MPQ correctly, noglues would disable EVERY icon outside of a mission. Or at least radically change the way that the menus outside of levels appear.

Im not sure if its the highest... but its the highest i know of.
