I changed the terrain a bit. Added a comsat station 
Well, I have too little time to work on things now.
ADDITION:
Yeah, the terrain is done!

I've heard you dont really have time to work on sc anymore and wondered if you are still going to finish this, since you cancelled your other map for the time being.

Yes, I'm going to finish this. Rate my terrain, it's in the Terrain forum.

I added some things to the terrain (cosmetics), and implemented 2 sounds: the background and the transmission sound. Now it is 160 kB uncompressed. I was plannning on having more short sounds, but now I think I'll stop right here - I want to have a b-net friendly map size.
Maybe later I'll make a version with more sounds.
All I need now is Oxygen.
ADDITION:
OK, a huge shift in my mind happened. I started making it round based, talked to one person that is very good at The Thing, and he convinced me not to do it. Here's why:
The killed must wait.
Instead of recreating the map and spreading it, people will play one map for long periods of time.
If you're waiting for the next round, you're really bored. I had an idea of makign a mini-game in some of the unused corners, but I understood that it will be poorly made due to lack of space.
So screw round-based system.
I'm having 3 days of birthday parties, so probably no work is going to be done.
ADDITION:
I'm done. Now I will start testing.
By the way, most of the sounds got axed to make a more b-net friendly map.
ADDITION:
Thanks to DevliN, the first testing was done. Now I will make the doors and a fiew other small things.

Damn straight!
I went back and took a look at the terrain on my own after we tested... damn that is a well-planned map. There were some pretty cool areas that I didn't go to during the test that seemed interesting. Very neat stuff. Now I'll have to check for updates more often.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by JaFF on 2006-10-30 at 11:14:53
The biggest update would be posting my new version of terrain, but the attachments are broken... 
So not much to update actually - the main part of the work is done.
ADDITION:
I remade the table maze because it sucked. Now it r0x. Some minor changes in terrain and briefing have been made.
Now I implement the background and I think I'm set
ADDITION:
I'm having some unexpected problems (thanks to StarForge)
I lost some terrain and the unit names. I hate StarForge.
ADDITION:
It's ready for final testing!

What's that? Enlighten me please.
ADDITION:
Tests revealed some bugs:
-Music not playing correctly.
-You crash if you click on a flag.
-The color is not black, but blue. (though I took the number from a map that was all black, but I guess that's the patch)

No sexy all-black suits for you Jammed.
Blizzard ripped them all ito pieces. I tried every single colour form 15 to 100 and none of them was all-black. 187 Is a nice black and grey, though.

Yeah, and if you click on a flag that has this color, your SC crashes. So I must change the Sainty unit.

Hmm , didn't know the flag thing. You could surely use a kahadryn crystal ogr something instead.

Jammed a little idea because some people like other units than rines (not me a rine is the best) you can choose your guy. Say rine,ghost and bat. I think it would be really cool.

Maybe cool, but not balanced.

Grrrr some people like the bat (I HATE IT) it wouldnt be unbalanced if you balance the units.

It would. Simply because of the damage vairations. Ghost -> Firebat. In different situations different units are better. Firebats suck due to melee (almost) damage, and gohsts rock because of their long ranged damage. So nay.
I will give you an example.
The Thing: Reborn vBlack. The marine's stats are 100 HP and 10 damage. Firebat's stats are 100 HP and 24 damage. Guess what, 1v1, a well controlled marine would kill a firebat nomatter how good the firebat is.

So use just a rine and a ghost... Most people would be happy with that
ADDITION:
Ive only met like 3 people who actually like the bat

I will have only marines due to their range.
ADDITION:
OK, I deleted the shooting range, but my ideas are depleted, so DEAD is helping me make a small room that I can't do myself.
I was really lazy the last 10-12 days so not much was done. Let's hope I release this soon to be ready to work on some other map.
ADDITION:
The terrain took me longer than I expected. But now, it's finished. Now I must fix the triggers that SCMD f**ed up, and I'm ready for testing.
ADDITION:
OK, final testing, here I come!
