Those who think the map preview will show the minimap are idiots. If it's exactly like WC3, all you do is import any image you like. And even if it does show the actual minimap, I GUARANTEE there is a way to get around it.

How do you know this? It could be in the same method in which the minimap is outputed based upon tiles.

Now porn maps will be worse than they are now.

This will of course cause more bugs.

I dunno if this qualifies as a big update.... now if they took away the string limit on staredit... that would be a big update

. Still its nice to see some useful War3 interface stuff being put into Starcraft and nice there making the friend lists less crappy(bigger hopefully) but this will probably lead to at least two more versions fixing bugs from this new version if past updates are any indication.

To map makers, a big update would be 65536 locations, 4096 strings, and the addition of new AI scripts and actions and conditions. Just increasing string count wouldn't make me any happier.

That's a damn good thing they haven't. Cause, I was starting to think Blizzard doesn't care for SC/BW Players.

A Friends List will be added to the game to keep track of your friends on Battle.net.

I don't get it, like...is it added in the game as in channel with # increased..? there's no real point to have a friends list when in a game...

other then all of that, making starcraft more advanced and more like warcraft3 makes me want to play starcraft more.

Cool! Updates!

The minimap preview and the minimap ping thing sound AWESOME!!!

Did anyone else see this coming? (Wasn't there that interview with Blizzard after patch 1.11B that had the guy mention "testing the new StarCraft patch"?)

HAIL BLIZZARD!

SoftWarewolf, the minimap ping alows the player to do it themselfves with a little button that will probally left of the minimap, it will be like for melee to tell your allies "Meet here", attack here etc

This patch gets me excited about Starcraft 2, Although we will all be like 35 when it comes out lol.

As far as I know there is not going to be a change to the map format, this indicates that there wont be any changes to staredit or changes of limitations. However my source may be wrong.

Also yes all extended player effects are likely to change, as well as possibly sprite effects, disable units effects, additional colors, etc. basicly anything that isn't meant to be used. In addition if they compile with buffer overrun protection enabled additional players and colors will not be possible at all.

No...

Maybe they'll be nice like with their previous gluitch patches that make it so things aren't fixed in UMS but are in Melee (well, some glitches or w/e have that happen).

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathknight on 2005-01-21 at 19:56:51

Well chances of the score format in memory changing would probably be slim; yes they will be moved, but the order will not.

I wonder if the patch will fix the bunker glitch, that when exploited, crashes SC.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by MapUnprotector on 2005-01-21 at 20:10:31

If they take out stacking it should only be in Melee games not UMS, also as long as p9-12 works I'm happy

Report, edit, etc...Posted by KaboomHahahein on 2005-01-21 at 20:14:38

I was wondering when they would finally put a minimap ping. All strategy games have mini map pings now. It is rather annoying in starcraft when you yell for help or etc and you need to describe the location.

I guess people wont be downloading those maps with minimap pictures anymore since you can already see it without joning. (right?)

Why would they take out player 12?

It would suck having to find all the maps incompatible in our downloads database.

I hope the new battle.net comes with a brand new GUI instead of a modified one to fit the new changes.

Anyway, why do people think stacking means so much? Stacking is pure bullshit. They shouldn't have allowed stacking in the first place. Who needs defence maps with no strategy?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Chill on 2005-01-21 at 23:40:13

What does stacking have to do with strategy?
