Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> X4 Speed And X8 Speed
Report, edit, etc...Posted by 8882 on 2004-08-19 at 07:18:13
Im trying to make a 'real' x4 or x8 LT. It means measuring the real movement/mining speed and adjusting the build costs and the gas costs (because gas is mined slower) of all units.
However I dont know how to make the map work on the faster speed.
How can I do it? I think that for x4 speed Im supposed to place an interceptor as a sprite (which type of sprite? unit sprite? or "sprite sprite" in starforge?) for player 14 at coordinates 1,1. I tried both methods and it didnt work.
I also tried an interceptor for player 14 and it didnt work -_-
I asked some people on the channel clan uuu if they know how to do x8 speed, but guess what -"it's a secret" -_-z
Anyway the speed from Clokr_'s 'The Hunter's x8' map would be ok, whatever it is. I didnt measure, because I saw his LT and the minerals dissapeared, so first I would like to check whether the trick works and then adjust the costs and buildtime.
BTW. Were threads about this deleted both from SE and Blizzforums? I couldnt find them o_o Edit: I found it in the archive.

I dont know. But the problem with 4x speed is it removes all the units and sometimes freezes on you. Youll have to find a map size that wont make it crash.

128x128 usually makes it crash. 4x speed is worthless. ;P

Map size has absolutely nothing to do with it. You just have to place the P14 unit first (and make sure it stays first). My units reordered on me somehow and my stuff disappeared. :/

You can't have LT in 4x speed. Units in 4x speed don't attack automatically. You have to manually choose attack or right click your enemy or have the unit hold position. So if your marine was standing still without hold position on, and an enemies zergling comes along, your marine wouldn't attack the zergling.

I wonder why do you answer a question with a question
-_-
Plus you could help me because you probably know how to do it, but you dont want to waste 30seconds of your life to type it -_-

how do you know, when you dont know? o_o
the map doesnt crash for me, I just dont get the speed I want, actually I dont get ANY effect
Clokr_'s Hunters map doesnt crash etc. however it is protected and I cant see the size? Is it really changed? o_o
I think I should change some flags in the unit/sprite properties, but Im not sure.

? what do you mean? can you explain? I use normal neo LT, change the properties of the scarab for player 14 so it is at coordinates 1,1 -so it is first (?).

captain obvious and no censored.gif boy to the rescue?
maybe I WANT to have the effect, because it helps in training to micro?


thank you for your 'help' -__- instead of telling me what to do you discourage me of trying to make the map
I guess you just dont know how to do it, I think Ill pm Clokr_ and ask him, but he wont probably help me too, because he protected the map, because it's a 'secret' (like ppl in the channel uuu said)

8882, I don't appreciate your negative attitude. If your going to call people "captain obvious" and "no censored.gif boy" then you shouldn't expect them to help you.

It isn't a big secret, in fact they have threads here telling you how to do it, if you looked it up you might find it. Also clokr_ isn't trying to keep it secret because he submitted a tutorial for it on the mapmaking tricks and help thread, here. Perhaps he protected the map for another reason.

Battleforums.com works for me, if that’s not what your referring to then I do not understand your question. I'm locking this thread, do not remake it.

Oh yeah here are some search results http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Sear...ghlite=4x+speed
