Alright, well let me first introduce myself to those of you that don't know me. My name is Derek (or 37. on Starcraft and Brood War - US East). Anyway, I have a few things that I would like to work out sometime in the not too distant future. First off, I haven't ever really tried to make a UMS map of any kind and I was wondering if you had some tutorials that I could follow in order to help me. I'd prefer if it was like a bound, but for now I'm sure anything would help me and eventually I could expand to bounds.
Also, I have a few problems with hosting on Brood War, and I was wondering if any of you could help me with that. If it helps any, I rarely ever lag in games, and I have a Belkin Router that links two of my computers to the internet. The connection I have is a 512 upstream. The problem that Starcraft always gives me is that the latency is too high, no matter what. If anyone could help on either of these I would greatly appreciate it.
Most the times the latency problem can be temporarlly fixed.
What you do is first have your friend host a map. Join the game channel. You don't have to start the game just quit out. Then host a game and have your friend join, he should be able to join now.
