If you let the units in the certain position for awhile then yes they will apear on the minimap but the animation will be kinda slow for on there since the minimap takes a while to detect the unit placement.

For me reading this, I can imagine insanely huge lag being created from so many units spawning at the same time. The mario that bolt made was horriblly laggy, and it was a very small picture. (my computer is slow okay? ty.)

I can also imagine the map size being HUGE.

How was the quality of bolts map?

The program im talking about originally had mass lag, I don't know what my friend did but he got even better results and converted mass lag into no lag at all... the only downside from the start was that due to use of units the quality wasn't that great, but the minimap updated perfectly there was no issue there.

I didn't lag that much, cause units were changing between players not being spawned or removed. The minimap couldn't refresh as fast as the units were changing players so it would skip frames on several occasions.

Also for anyone wondering there were 3 differant frames in the animation. and were used for a 5 part animation cause the frames had multiple uses. I changed the player by center a location on them and cycleing though the whole list setting every unit to the player i wanted it to be each frame.

its like animateing a spinning line because the later frames respesent a differant possition but is the same photograph. (also like beerkegs avatar or old one anyways)

I don't think its a very good idea
I have thought of this idea a long time ago already

biggrin.gif Just like you I thought about during the night while I was in my bed.

It would take lots of time, and so many more disavantage for this idea; *mini map refreshing rate, enough locations, and take lots of time, etc. cry.gif pinch.gif

i like the idea, but why not have it center screen like mr moo cow's friend did?



12x256 map, pre place nits, make the triggers loop center view in a row so nothing shows on the minimap but on the main screen it would look like a good animation.

Very impractical.. Also if this becomes possible, many people will use animation for bad purposes. (Like putting adult themes)

We weren't even thinking about that... and... there's no place on the internet that isn't adult related.

If you are afraid if adult themes, you should stop playing sc, I mean... just look at terran kerrigan's death sound, she makes a moaning sound instead of a cry of pain. I can understand the medic... but the kerri? no.

nono thats not what he did... it wasn't centered screen it was a animation on the minimap that did a quick animation with his name in an array of colors in patterns then mario walking around and jumping with some other stuff... He didn't make any of the triggers he made a program to make the triggers. He somehow avoided the lag, and the sketchy frame rate. It was very nice but again... it wasn't 'terrain drawing' quality.

Jus think of it. They scrap the picture map and sexy pics genre and go for movie mapper and Sexy Movie. Of course the first one will be gay. (As king's plainly shown to us.) But then we would have a b.net full of lag caused by people watching low quality 500 unit a second ... 5 second porn movies.

You can't be serious...
Sexy pics was only a fad for a short while, its really underground now.
The bound craze didn't create any lag and it had trillions of explosions all over the place.

hmm this could be done like a bound BUT! you would have to hold tab (disable minimap color). this makes you see every units motion. even if you have a bound where its create then destroy WITHOUT wait times
