Staredit Network

What I mean by hyper units are units above (I think it's) 228.
What I mean by the unit nubmer is the number in the upper left corner of the unit properties in starforge. Unit #0 is a marine.

In the old patches, as far as I know, all the hyper units crashed. However under 1.12b most of them no longer crash, instead doing nothing.
However some do some really wierd things.
Unit 233 is a cloaked unselectable cyrstal that provides a large square of creep (that you are unable to build on). I go into this in more detail in this thread.
Most of the units do nothing. Some of them crash when viewed, some of them crash when the map is loaded.
A large group of them make the sound of something dying when the map is loaded. However you can't see any kind of animation, and nothing is displayed on the mini map. Some of these make the sound of a zerg building dying when the map loads. Then zerg buiulding rubble is placed in the location that the unit was placed in.
Unit 4000 is an acutal scourge death! The sound of the death is played and, it shows a dot on the mini map, and only if the screen then if the screen is moved before the scourge finishes dying, it shows the acutall death animation.

Unit 3281 is even wiereder. When placed, it takes the form of a scourge, but it has many wierd properites.

• It provides 2 zerg control, and uses up 128
• It doesn't cloak when an aribiter is moved near it
• When attacked, it acts as though it had shield (A ZERG UNIT WITH SHIELD!)
• It has a smaller collision size then a normal scourge
• When recalled it dies (it dies like a normal scourge)
• It is not included when you select a group
• Last but not least, when you click on it it plays a random sound (most often one of the sounds that you hear when you click on a unit), then crashes

It has some other wierd properites to, but I can't remember them all at the moment.
So my point is that, hyper units have many wierd and posably useful properties. And because I don't have the patiance to spend too much time with them. I think someone like DeathKnight should investigate them. Who knows, we might find something useful at some point. (233 is got for terain, if you don't have that many units on that map, and some of the other ones let you prepalce zerg building rubble).

Extended units were used before (pre Patch 1.12), but the fact that they work in 1.12 is interesting. Hopefully we will be able to re-discover the unit that caused the Arbiter's Cloaking field without an Arbiter, it was very interesting.

(I believe it was 6871?)

What we need is more research on extended units. I had started a list of extended units + their effects to 500, but it's probally out dated now. We should create it again.

Unit 6871 will be tried post haste upon my arrival at a computer with starforge.
For some reason, there were substantual changes to exstended units after 1.12. Or so I hear at least. I wonder why?
Maybe we should start a list.
Doodle77 and I could do 3500-4000. You could do 3000-3500 or something of the sort.
This really sounds like the kind of projects that deathknight is used to tackling though.
I assumed that they weren't used before. Becuase I dled an old patch, then tried some exstended units, and they all crashed.
I might of gotten something like the arbiter cloaking field, but not noticed it. I havn't been testing as thoughly as I should. (except with 3281 becuase it was so wierd. It came as quite a shock when it acutally appeared on the map).

One of the most useful ones I found was 6500 (i'll have to confim this). What it did was make a zelot death sound, say "You can't build there" make the sound a drone makes (I was zerg) when you attempt to build on illegal terrain, then ping at the location where the unit was placed.
The idea of preplaced minimap pings (w/o tirggers) is a very cool one.

Unit 233 crashed... wtf? Am I supposed to not be looking at it?

Unit 6500 does make a Zealot death, show the "You cannot build there" error, and ping at the location the unit was at. (I didn't hear a Drone though >.<)

I'd like to help with the list!

Unit 6871 has the vision of 1 square approximately. It's cloaked, and even when it's owned by you, you can't see it unless you use maphack. If you do use maphack and you click on it (it's a Scourge), it crashes StarCraft.

I'm too slow to see the Scourge death for unit 4000.

yay, i guess we will start a list... please note that i am m.r.bobs brother and thats why i know everything... i thought of the number 3281 randomly and tested it at first, also i just found 2 more weirdnesses about unit 3281-
#1- it dies when owned by a computer player.
#2- it is not biological and not mechanical

So how are we going to do the list?
What you say Doodle?
Doodle says we should do it 150 at a time starting from 3000.
And one person should get 228-3000.

I think that it should be 150 at a time starting from 3000. Then after we run out of good ones, we should go back to the beggining.

Doodle: How will we know when we are out of good ones
Me: When it starts consistantly crashing of course

Define "consistent". I got 200 crashes in a row once. But the stuff after it was kind of interesting.

This was an example of what I found out for each unit:

Sounds pretty good so far. Just one note:
DO NOT TEST CERTAIN UNITS JUST BECAUSE THEY LOOK COOL IN STARFROGE.
The unit you speak of has a interesting look in starforge. However some of the most interesting ones I found had a very mundane look in starforge.

I started from 3000 and I'm at 3015. I'll post the list when I can get back to the computer with the .txt file ...

---

I'm here!

o.o oh. Units 3000 to 3014 don't do anything.

Unit 1024 is a vulture...
Don't ask.
It doesn't get recalled when you try and recall it.
Bullet hits don't appear on it.

I once found a unit that acted as a "Starforge Authorized Open Only". Meaning it would crash all other editors, but SF could see it (I believe it was a dropship). But it would just completely vanish in SC. It was either 666 or 999 (I was testing 666 and flipped 666 ). Might be different now. Does 8001 still work (or whatever the infinite ranged attack zergling thingy was) because I found if you recall it it either goes to the left or right side of the map (left side it was off the map, right side it was half on the map). And then if you recalled again, it would completely dissappear from existance. I forgot how, but once i recalled it twice then I couldn't select the arbiter, it was a unit that became a moving sprite....

Edit: forgot to mention this was 1.11 (the one before 1.12 )

pretty cool, though i might not be able to test much, except on weekdays.

so il start on monday if i remember to do so.

Interesting, SC is so buggy lol, but thats one of the reasons it's fun.

i think unit 5724 does something, but i cant quite remeber....(im not sure on the number too...or the order of the digits).

anyways, unit 6500 is cool, though it might be annoyying in the beginning if you have a lot of them.

but couldnt you just use a trigger?

I want to be a tester, I want to be number 3602-3751, Even though I don't even think that is a unit.

Ok, the list that Doodle gave is wrong.
Voyager7456 has units 228-400.
Theme(ex) has units 401-600.
O)FaRTy1billion has units 601-800
axblader has units 801-1000
Puni has units 1001-1200

Once everyone is done with their first set of units. I will give them a second set. Post every unit in the set, and thourghly test wierd ones.

Also I think 233 needs to be owned by you to not crash.

Umm, Quick question... How am I going to find out what my units are? Im now in a black pit, No knowing what to do.

i deleted my post, sorry i thought we were going to start with 3000...
look at m.r.bobs post for your units puni.
[sub]btw puni, you got your name from the player unit restrictions section of the chk right?[/sub]
EDIT: Just hit silver(not gold yet); 1220 is a building that looks like cloaked minerals, stays on top, can be walked on and provides 114 supply
EDIT 2: Just finished 1200-1230 here they are:

Edit 3: done with 1230-1250

edit 4: getting weird! next 20

oh ya, and i was thinking, if only there was a way that we could have a post or something that we can all edit so that you can see all of them units at onece
Edit 5: nothing that did anything

edit 6: Hey, any1 other that me testing yet?

Nothing AGAIN! WEEEEEEEE!

Yeah, I wasn't in 'the list' but it sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try:



The 'Nothing's' might make sounds, but my speakers don't work so I wouldn't know.

Edit: All placed for Human players, within range of the start location (So the 'Crashes SC' might crash on sight or not).

What terrain types are guys testing this in? I seem to get different results when testing in Ice.

The problem with this is that you get differenet results with different tile sets, when owned by differetn players, etc. So it's pretty hard to make a full comprehensive list.

It's ok, I think all people are looking for is one gem like 1201.
It's a mulalisk death that makes creep. Buildable creep!

I posed a question about hex editing on the map help forum. If everything works out, you could have a unit that leaves a trail of creep.

Ok then instead of posting every one you tested, why not make it more efficient and just do something like this?:



List only the ones that actually do stuff and on what terrain.

ok, post edited
EDIT: tired, want to actually play sc, will edit later(tomorrow morning).

testing this is fun i love crashes give me units give me numbers give me!

im starting today, in a few hours. also, it depends on which player it belongs to sometimes...so put the player number too, and i suppose someone will compile this into a list?

EDIT:

here:



812 looks weird in SF.

I like the idea of only posting the ones that do something.
Corbo, you have 1400-1600.

I would like to help research and test these... hyper units.
And 1024 could be a replacement for 2008 due to it has a huge unit size vertically and is high hp or invincible.

EDIT: using 1.12b
EDIT again: 2008 was a zergling that acted like transport, was near invincible and could be attacked from a far range horizontally which was its main use but its gone in 1.12b great for incorrect rain or sand storm effects
