It's the same as the syntax in starforge and SCDraft, just with pull down menus.

Did the contest suddenly shut down or anything? If not, I'm gonna' make a map called Battlefield Starcraft. It's rather unoriginal because I'm basing it on the Battlefield first person shooter series, but I've never seen anything like it done on Starcraft so I thought it'd be interesting. It would be a three on three (with two computers as the big bases) with constant territorial control and all that.
I won't be able to test it much on multiplayer, though, because I can't host maps. I always took the ability to host a game for granted until I no longer could. Damn you, firewalls. Damn you.
Can I use a program like GUEdit or Uberation to change the colors of players or do I have to leave that alone? Also, can I use a compression program like Uberation to rename strings and stuff to reduce file size?

What makes you think the contest shut down?

"StarEdit only" means you can't use anything other than StarEdit. No GUEdit, no Uberation, not for any reason.

Just in case you didn't notice, DEAD, the map in my image hasn't been saved, which means I didn't load it from another editor. Getting StarEdit to place a doodad where it shouldn't be is actually really easy.

I thought maybe it shut down because nearly every post in this topic isn't a contest entry. Also, it seems like compression should be allowed because it won't affect the game, reduces file size and just renames locations and switches to their default names after the convenience of unique names is no longer needed. But whatever.

They want you to make the best game using staredit not just make the best game. It's supposed to be inconvenient.

Syphon, I'd appreciate an extension to the deadline due to the fact that I'm in the phase of high school filled with one important test after another. PSAT this Saturday and 2 SAT IIs in the following months. I know that it may not be necessary for most of the other contestants, but since RPGs take comparatively longer to make than many other types of maps, I hope you can consider it once more.

Yes, I also think that extension would be necessary. Mostly because of people who decide to make RPGs. Just remember that the the content, ideas and originality will be judged more that size of your RPG. Try to add something special/new to it instead of extending it to be long to play. It can be also short but featured RPG tongue.gif .

If you extend the deadline to December 1st, I will throw in all my minerals, and not enter any map into the contest.

Then my advice would be to not join the contest. I don't like the idea of the deadline either. It should stay the same. If people can't make their map fast enough, they should work harder or make a different type of map. No offence to anybody, like PCFredz, who have tons of school work to do.

If you want to rename a string then use the "comment" action.

Man, I can't wait that long! I thought this contest would be so that you could just make a quick map in Staredit that would be fun, not a full length RPG and the works.

Majesty RPG

featuring:
  • 9 Heroes
  • 8 enterable buildings
  • 6 purchasable items
  • ~12 killable monsters / bosses
  • ? castable spells
  • 1 randomly generated map

This is definitely not a "full length" RPG, but it won't be short either.
