Indeed the maps sound alike, however upon playing both of them you will see an obvious difference. However, I will try to list a few things that make it different, but these generalized differences wont tell you or show you all the differences.
1a. In ProduceCraft Unit purchasing was done in the corners and spawned constantly at your main base.
1b. In SpawnCraft Unit purchasing is done in the main arena, and units "come to life" after a set amount of time.
2a. In ProduceCraft you control your own units and attack whom you like.
2b. In SpawnCraft a computer controls the units, whom attacks the bottom base as instructed by triggers.
3a. In ProduceCraft minerals are gained through mining and collecting gas via refineries.
3b. In SpawnCraft you get minerals from killing an "income unit" which you chose depending on your Jim Raynors ability to take and deal damage.
4. Terrain is completely different.
5. SpawnCraft should be a lot faster gameplay wise.
So those are a few differences, but you will see that the gameplay of them are considerably different, if you chose to play.
Also, I was working on the map at 5am this morning until around 7am (my time) and I did most of the attacking triggers, they work extremely well and came out good first try.

I guess it looks alright.
I wish you guys would come up with creative names for your map though. 'Craft' is getting old. Unless your a modder.
Good luck with this map.

When do you think testing will begin and when do you think you'll upload a demo or something. And you would probably finish if all you did was not play GUNZ and do more mapping.

I don't like releasing demos, not something I have ever really done 
, if I decide to start doing some work, I guess I could have the spawn system up and running before wednsday, however I have a load of exams scheduled so I will be busy this next week.

BUT if you release a demo people would get used to your maps idea and maybe like wat they play. Or if no putting up a demo why not just work on the spawn system now while you still can.

But why report to SEN, and I dont need u to tell me when to go cry in a corner thank you very much.May you please go into detail about how your going to be doing the spawn system. Or is it just going to be a regular spawn at the main base. AND I dont think my question has been answered about controling when the computer attacks and when it doesnt.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Shocko on 2007-01-21 at 16:23:57
No you wont control when the computer attacks, synchronized rounds is easier to trigger.
Well, as for going into details I will give the example of just how the probe works:
There is a DC counter, when the DC is equal to 0, it sets a series of switches.
The triggers go as follows:
Centering on the p12 units at base 2 and giving them to player 7
Centering on the p12 units at base 1 and giving them to player 8
Placing a P9 unit under the ground units
Placing a P10 unit under the air units
When there is no p12 Spawnable units left, it will order them all to attack the opposing team.
The winner of the great battle in the middle will then have their units carry on their attack into the enemies base where they will hurt the Dark Archons (your life)
When there is no more units left to fight it will do a series of triggers ( I will use probe respawn)
If there is 10, P9 zerglings at Base 1
{Center on one
Remove it
Replace with a P8 probe
Give the p8 probe to P12}
That ist hen copied 10 times in the trigger
The 10 zergling trigger is copied 5 times, and then there is one for 5 zergling, 4 zergling, 3 zergling, 2 zergling, 1 zergling.
This is because there is 60 spawn spots in each base, and by using these numbers I can get any amount of units out of the 60 to spawn all instantly.
For example, if there was 37 probes to be centered it would run:
10, 10, 10, 5, 2
If there was 60 it would run
10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 5, 4, 1
If there was 28 it would run
10, 10, 5, 3
I am sure by now you get the pattern, and it is possible to get all of those units. So once those units are all replaced, the counter will begin again, then the process will continue after the counter is 0 again.
