Staredit Network

The SmodT lead by DTBK is getting off it's feet. Now that it has all the positions filled (we don't really need a table writer or help guru) we can start working on a project.

But the question is which project? Post suggestions here:

Research bringing back StarGraft style ASM code! Pleeeease? I'll give you a cookie, or even a muffin! All my minerals! Some really cool mods that can't be found anywhere because the site died! ANYTHING IF YOU BRING IT BACK!

Umm, is that an idea for a mod?

Anwser = no

Answer = yes.

I mistyped, I meant to stay StarGraft coding. Which is mod related... or do you mean a mod, not a modding tool.

NO! A starcraft mod! Not a stargraft mod!
Something using arsenal III, iscripting, memory patching, new grps etc.

Not something using C++ or whatever.

Stargraft was Memgraft's predacessor, if their user interface is to be compared.

On a mod I've already started mapping out, I've come up with several building ideas. Perhaps we could incorporate them into this mod.

Terran:
Add the Ion Cannon and the Power Generator.
-Power generators provide Psi to power the Ion cannon. Also provide upgrades for the cannon
-Ion Cannon fires a long-range, highly explosive shell that has a long cooldown period.

Protoss:
Add in Protoss Temple, Xel'Naga Temple, and Warp Gate
-Protoss Temple would provide upgrades for the ground heroes and air heroes
-Xel'Naga Temple would construct various ground heroes
-Warp Gate would construct various air heroes

Zerg:
Add in Overmind and Cerebrate
-Overmind would add 200 supply, be able to build all heroes, and attack with some sort of multiple-blasts seeker spore attack
-Cerebrate would provide some supply and upgrades for all hero units and the Overmind's attacks

It's not much, but it's a start...

ADDITION:


Yeah, you are in charge, but you have to give us some direction. I think it's safe to have a little creative pooling of ideas until the project leaders and the boss decide on what we're going to do. Never hurts...

omg bring back some illy's back so we can make em!!!!

No I wasn't... This topic was meant ot help give you ideas to make your job easier, allowing the modding team to start quickly once you give us the goahead.

Merge all tilesets mod.

Factions. This is what I mean:

Lets say the player picks Terran. He starts out with an SCV that can evolve into three units, for free. The units would be: Dominion SCV, Confederate SCV and Raynor's SCV. Those SCVs would build the buildings of that faction, which would produce slightly different units.

I think it can be done, GRPs wouldn't really be a problem because you can just reuse the original ones. And I think there's certainly enough unused data entries that can be converted to units.

That factions idea has potential. You could make different factions for all the races too.

Maybe something like this:
Race
-Faction 1 -stronger ground units
-Faction 2 -Stronger air units
-Faction 3 -More efficient units (cheaper/less supply), special ability (Special units, hero units, etc..)

I would HATE having to create all of the BUTTONS for that...but, it IS a good idea...

lol. i could make buttons.. or maby i can't... but ya. this sounds like a great idea. very complex. but great

I'm thinking someone graphics heavy. Because DTBK in his ignorance though we should only need one iscripter and memeory patcher (and currently they're the same person).
But the problem is many new graphics needs a custom iscript.

Ya, so anyone have any grahpics heavy suggestions?
*m.r.bob(MM) hopes that DTBK is thinking up ideas for mods over at DC
*m.r.bob(MM) hopes that the project leaders are also thinking up mods (it's part of their job)
*m.r.bob(MM) stares at slyence implying that he isn't doing his job...

I haven't seen slyence on for a while, where is he?

Maybe you could do an SC Enhancer mod, add a few new units, a few new spells, all designed for balanced melee. Touch up and mod sc's graphics and butons, add new units, perhaps modify existing buildable units.

How about you let the Project leaders make all the ideas... Let us do our job.

That actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it...

no idea. he hasent been on aim, or my site...

m.r.bob:
Ok, then do it! Lets see some ideas! Post for once!

ADDITION:
well you should have one iscripter and mem patcher for each team

Well, once we, you know, get our own forum *still waiting* I'm sure we can work something out. We have an idea in the making, so...eh.

Now, from me to the graphics people out there...


WHERE YOU AT?
