Staredit Network

Good for you, as well as the rest of us. We learned something.

*stunned*

I think that it's high time to get back to the topic on hand.

Now that I've had a chance to get over my primary pissed off reaction to this whole patch, I sort of have a "meh" attitude. It's not as if we really lost anything guys.

Yoshi's right. True, it's a disappointing prospect to realize that we won't be getting any cool new features. But, on the other hand, we're not in an any worse position than a few weeks ago.

And thanks for giving my quote quotation marks.

lets get one thing straight. replays are never completly corrupted. you can always repatch if you feel the need to watch a replay

That's too much of a hassle, and you can't really show replays to friends on battle.net because they need to downgrade too.

Patches are bad and deathknight should stop making blizzard patch SC.

lets get one thing straight. EUDs are never completely gone. you can always repatch if you feel the need to use EUD.

dk isnt making them patch it. hes just looking at every knook and cranny of the game which since he purchased it isnt illegal. this is how the hot coffee mod got out for san andreas and instead of embrasing the free pub blizzard would get its tossing it to the side. there is a program that will auto repatch for you (x7 changer) so it isnt that difficult. however you cant use bnet unless you are on the most current patch, which means you would have to send reps via an instant message etc.


also the thing about being able to upload any file into a map is total crap. even if someone was stupid enough to upload a virus, there is no way to call that file into memory with sc, malware cant work unless it is executed

It seems simple enough to me for anyone who hates their replays being ruined to keep two versions of Starcraft on their computer: one for replays and one for battlenet play. Now if any Melee player has ever used X-tra editor, he happens to be just as wrong as someone who will remain nameless thinks EUD's etc. are. You used manipulated software. I guess I'll burn in Hades with Deathknight for abusing my license to play Blizzard's precious game.
As for creativity being shot by having MORE options, that's like saying I lose creativity every time I learn something new at school. I have more options that make me more of a robot. Wish I'd stayed home all those years and played Mario Bros. rather than lose my creativity.
If it makes your head spin, no one says you have to use it. THere were still quite a few good options for map makers without using EUD's.
Hey, nameless person: have any mp3's on your computer? I'll play melee with you in Hell then. Have any burned copies of movies? Where'd you get that picture of some guy taking off his shirt? Did you take it yourself with your digital camera? Do you have a license to use what someone else created? Why harass the illegal use of something harmless (that's right-NO viruses) and something that would increase the popularity of an already great game? Go become a prosecutor of j-walkers. They need more of your kind around.

then why don't you just keep two versions of your starcraft with one that is compatible with EUD and the other is for battle.net play.

euds are intended more for multiplayer not for single. wouldnt work out well

PLUS we could just Actually mod the game in that case



(i dont understand how so many people are for an auto-modder but completly against euds)

replays tend to better when watched with other people. point proven.

Someone needs to read the previous page.

EUD's CAN be used in ways that pose a security risk. Just exactly what hasn't been revealed but it could be anything ranging from crashing SC to uploading viruses.

Yes... I did just register to make people aware of this.

Thanks for posting that.

You know nothing about what happened with SC : ghost do you? It wasn't sold to Swingin' Ape Studios.... Blizzard BOUGHT Swingin' Apes. SA now works for blizzard.

P.S. its spelled "sold"

i dont think that was made whit EUDs bcause EUD dont run exes it handle the dat as i been heard it was just a normal map whit a virus that auto run some how the ohter day some1 posted a map whit a virus inside the mpq and he was scared to play it, and that map wasnt made whit eud just a regular map

What exactly did superpenguin find?

Frankly, Blizzard must have had a damn good reason for patching this, if they would turn down a way to rejuvinate SC for it. I still think they found something that could have been truly dangerous while looking into the EUD triggers and decided to patch it before we discovered it.

Edit: I'm REALLY tired, let me reword my post better.

Most likely Penguin found that with EUDs you can create a buffer overflow with starcraft. With a buffer overflow, a hacker can potentially execute malicious code, a virus. I'm pretty sure this is what he found and if he really did you all damned better be happy Blizzard patched it! If they didn't and someone else discovered how to cause a buffer overflow anyone who played the map would him would be in quite jeapordized.

Superpenguin is the hero in this situation.

Isn't your main problem with the whole issue the patch ruining your replays? Aren't you being hypoctitical by praising the person who might have been the actual reason for blizzard patching this?

Wrong.
Oringally Nihilistic was making Starcraft:Ghost with Blizzard overlooking the project.
Nihilistic kept doing a bad job, and Blizzard kept on delaying it.
Eventually Blizzard took Nihilistic off the project and gave it to Swingin Apes.'

Blizzard then acquired Swingin apes on the first day of E3 since well.... I guess they have been doing a great job with Sc.
This gave blizzard 40 new programmers for the console and to do console games\ports.

They should just let it be.
Nothing was hurting it.
