Staredit Network

EDIT- New thread. This isn't a modding forum, so I won't ask for modding help here. Sry for the inconvenience.

This, of course, is your own map. Whatever decision you make, I will be with you.

The map still needs multiplayer because single player is no fun at all.

I'd say make it single Player, definately.

Because i hate playing maps when the music timing is off (such as your A&O trailer)

Multiplayer, as I said, will be a royal to complete. I'd rather scrap it unless there's high demand for it. RPGs can still be fun without it, though the multiperson dynamics like teamwork and such will be gone.

So here's the thing, to clarify it to everyon: I'm not really going to ask for help with triggers, terrain, story, etc., just one thing: anyone up to doing modding for this? I'll discuss details later, but for now I need to find out if I can get help on this to decide whether to attempt this the hard way (multiplayer, full-fledged gunner system, etc.), or else whether I'm going to have to abbreviate it to get it releasable in reasonable time (won't be fall, though).

So I know this isn't the forum to ask for modding help, but if anyone's interested then let me know.

If you want you can make 2 verisons
1 of them is single player and other is multi-player!
but whatever it is I will go with it.

I'm still learning how to mod so I'm out! I wont take such a challenge.

I know how to Mod, not too well or anything (I can't change the picture of the unit)
But yes, I know, to some extent, how to mod.

Hell ing No lol! It's hard enough doing it one way, and even though single player would be functionally an abrievation to multiplayer, it would also mean changing the story, map layout, characters, functionality, and a whole pandora's box of things I don't want.

Well, sry never thought of that....

It's ok. I've gone too far into this to really be able go back on anything, and since the complexity of it all is beginning to test even my skills, I doubt anyone would really be able to meaningfully offer help with any aspect of the actual mapping portion directly. I'd love it if I were wrong, though.

I would make it single player, even though it has it's down sides. In multi player it has more potential problems to deal with. Plus that would mean less trigs to do. But it's your map, do what you want.

Besides theirs always time to learn new things! So maybe if you have time start learning how to mod!

I can meaning fully help the modding part but I mean, come on, this is your map, I dont know exactly what you are asking for, or how many changes you want...

Hmm, I'm moving this to to warboards.org instead. They have all the best modders over there, so it's a better place to ask. I'll post in the old A&O thread if any new updates or positions become available.

Can someone close this please?

Tux,

We have spoken about this many times. I also told you that if map triggers couldnt be done in Multiplayer then just make it single player. Im sure noone will mind it being single player, most people just looking forward to playing map and hoping play it this year or next. Just take your time and im sure you'll work out what you want to do. You always do, well enough talk from me.

Yeah I know moogle, but I figured the benifits of multiplayer outweighed the drawbacks overall, though it's looking now that multiplayer is really going to stunt progress on this thing unless I can work outside of SC's limits. I'd love to do it though, but it's gonna take something more than my ability to manage it, and frankly I don't think anyone has the skill (or patience) to be able to help me with the actual mapping portion.

Frankly, I don't want to make Yoshi's mistake of doing this all by myself and then failing miserably in the end.


EDIT- New thread. If any mods are around, please close this one (there's enough of these A&O threads already lol).

I know of one editor has limits to push your map to its max. But its not a starcraft editor, goes more along lines of warcraft 3 editor. Has modding skills to push your map to greater limits and stuff and which i know you dont want do. I know you want keep it a starcraft map, only thing i can think of is you may need outside mod running while playing game, maybe something that turns swarm into your color mod don't know if that can be done but ask a modding community for starcraft and see what happens.

Swarms are just annoying by themselves, let along having to suffer with conflicts of other player's swarms. I'd rather have the normal attack have that kind of flexibility, or at least come reasonably close, instead of having to accomodate a gajillion triggers for that purpose... with clumsy results at best.

You can close this thread by looking down bottom says delete thread or close. Yes i understand what your saying, i'll stand by you and test map whatever choose for this map. =) what a loyal friend does

Can't find it. Did a text search for word 'close' or 'delete', and couldn't find any outside of posts. None of the buttons I see have that label, except on my posts further down.

Use be like pop-down menu or something that could let you close post's.

Edit: Like at very bottom to left, a drop-down menu.
