I can't post twice in a row, but I really wanna present the finished version (fanfare) ... of the first mission (fart). Also, the protoss tech tree:

Start with: Zealot -> You must begin game by doing a zealot mission (Psi Powers lvl 1)
Psi Powers lvl 1 -> High Templar (Psi lvl 2 Light side)
Psi Powers lvl 1 -> Dark Templar (Psi lvl 2 Dark side)
Psi lvl 2 Light -> Archon (yer stuck this way, muhaha)
Psi lvl 2 Dark -> Dark Archon (yer stuck this way too, and without mindcontrol so u can't mc allied units and screw up my game, muhaha)
lvl 2 Light -> Scout (Psi lvl 3 Light)
lvl 2 Dark -> Corsair (Psi lvl 3 Dark)
lvl 3 li -> Carrier (lvl 4 li)
lvl 3 da -> Arbiter (lvl 4 da)
As with the terran race, you can hero most of the characters.

Robots: u can get them (for free), though advanced units are only available after u get better

lvl 1 -> probe
lvl 2 -> observer
lvl 3 -> reaver
lvl 4 -> shuttle

If you lost your robot (hoping it's not a shuttle with YOU in it), you can simply get another one. Maybe a heroed character can get a robot with auto regenerating shield, after heroed lvl 3 u can get a heroed reaver too.


Here's the best thing about the protoss race:
If u die, u get turned into a dragoon. If your dragoon dies... game over. However, you CAN hero your dragoon. Dragoon counts as lvl 2, heroed dragoon lvl 3. nice, eh?

ok never mind i CAN'T upload the map for some reason oh well

I hope you make so that someone would actually want to go through DA, CORSAIR, and ARBITER. Those are some of the Protoss units I would want least.

WOS will provide experience to spellcasters as well, so dark archons, corsairs, and arbiters--even though they can't attack very well--can still get kill & razings (which is what the experience counter is expressed through). They are more of a support unit group instead of directly attacking.


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Example of how a unit with no attack gets experience (dark archons can still feedback!):

Trigger 1
Player 1
Always
Move location "Player location 3x3: P1" to any unit commanded by current player.
Preserve trigger

Trigger 2
Player 1
Kerrigan's Brood brings at least 1 any unit to "Player location 3x3: P1"
Set score for Player 1: add 5 Kills/Razings
Preserve trigger

If you've played an rpg like the Xmen RPG or Quest Open RPG, you probably noticed that units like medics and defilers have a simple "always-add exp-preserve" trigger. That's kind of lame, because you can just sit and do nothing. Well, with WOS, you will need to get into the action! :ph34r:

Note: anyone have an idea to do Trigger 1 (above) so that the location doesn't get centered on a robot instead (see first post)? Doing an "if player controls {name a non-robot unit}, center location on {that unit}", then ten other "if player controls {name another non-robot unit}, center location on {that OTHER unit}" would be kind of redundant.

You'd probably have to name a specific unit and do a trigger for each one. Yeah, I think that kinda pisses every mapper off.

If the person is only ever going to control one unit then its not a problem, IE u could set it on the condition, death count for unit that doesn't appear in game is 1 then work the location triggfer, only works if they control one unit for all time...or if buildings and units used (not gaming style) then make a location over the fighting area for it to work in.

Yeah, that would work, but he's telling us that the robots will be on the battlefield with the fighting hero as well.

Well is this supposed to resemble to World of WarCraft? If you could tell me that. I would try and help out.

Yes, it is. If you view the mission briefings (map enclosed), WOS is celebrating WOW, but giving the SC fans something to play as well. However, WOW is a game itself with massive features and crap, while WOS is to be played in SC. Browseblizzard to learn more about WOW, and try my map to learn more about WOS. Bizzare turn of events, I am not actually NOT looking for help. I remade the unit selection triggers and it's a whole lot easier to add units now and I'm no longer discouraged by anything. No, I'm not high on drugs. However, I AM currently alpha testing (if that's what you would call it) what I have so far, so dl the map, try it, and report any bugs here.

At first I did have a zerg tech tree, like with a drone u evolve claws (ling->ultra), spines (hydra->lurker) or flight (muta->guardian or devourer), but then if you think about it, zergs depend primarily on sacrifice, so players are bound to die. Resurrection would be cool, but deaths would mess the training counters up. Therefore, I might just not do a zerg version of WOS.

In case if you're wondering why I'm asking you guys to test the map...
My internet connection or something is really messed up, since nobody ever joins my game, EVER, unless if I msg a friend, so my guess is my game name doesn't appear in the Join list. However, if I tell someone the game name (so they manually type the name in the Join thing), unless latency is too much, they CAN join the game. I don't have firewall enabled but do have 56K modem. SC did NOT do this before, when I first got the game and my computer was still less than 4 years old. However I AM getting new computer in a month, so the problem probably won't occur any more.


Never mind about dl...
:-/ ARG WHY CAN'T I UPLOAD ANYTHING?! :pissed:

Kool. WoS, in a way is like SC2 but as a map (due fact blizzard wont bring out Sc2 till 2010 or something) so how long till its done? Kupo~!

Starcraft 2 will likely never happen, how can they improve on this game? They can't anything else would be seen as poor or a failure compared, and they can't release new stuff, because people would complain that they are not trying to make completely new stuff on a new engine or nothing...

Could someone help me with the file uploading thing though? Yoshi?
I REALLY want to share my map with you all, but I kept getting an error message saying that I couldn't upload that kind of file. I tried .zip, .rar, and .scx, but the same thing happened every time.

.Zip worked for me for my 2 maps...

Well if you got aim u can send to me then i can upload though my ftp and upload on to my site then give u url link so people can d/l it that way if that helps in anyway.

...I don't use my AIM anymore, it's broken...
sry

Where are you trying to upload it to? Have you tried the Download section we have, and if all else fails, try another forum board which allows the attachments and link to it from here. Though thats a little out...

Or just email it to Yoshi.

I'm trying to upload it with this message, as in, this forum, this topic.
I'm not going to upload it to the Download section until the game enters the beta stage, which will be about a week away, at least. However, a week isn't that far away! Here's something to look forward to: it was only skimmed through before, but the Hero function in WOS will allow you to further train in an already-trained unit (e.g. Marine) to a hero unit (e.g. Raynor Marine), which means it will have upgrades as well (e.g. stim pack). Or, if you just want stim, period, you can use your SCV, put it next to a mineral patch or refinery (has to be existing refinery belonging to terran computer ally), get resources, build command center, build engineering bay, and research. Note that units cannot be built from buildings, but addons are allowed. Also, buildings are built at twice the speed, while research are done at TEN TIMES the speed. Basically, lots of stuff to expect, yet I am quite busy with schoolwork and stuff (Statistics really isn't fun yet time-consuming).

Gimme a break I'm not even 14 years old yet.
Yeah you heard me, Statistics.


Not even 14 years old, until in less than 3 weeks.

And I'm getting a new computer for my birthday. w00t



From this site.

I'm not advertising for cyberpower, but the prices are pretty gosh-didily-darn (quote Ned Flanders) low. Which makes me wonder, is it actually a good site? If someone can run a background check or something for me, that'll be great.

Sorry if the computer stuff was irrevelant, but I'm just tying it with my WOS paragraph. I'm lazy.

Well, thats in topic, but i am also looking for a new computer, i live in England and have about £1000 what do people advise?

that much money like around 2k - 3k in Australia and that buy u pretty good pc like 3.0 .. Well maybe ur map to big upload? have u tryed zipping it?

Yeah, i think he did, remember hte limit is under 4.0 MB!

Honestly, I'm not an idiot. I know the size limit and WOS was 3.8MB below it. I've tried zip, rar, scx, and as a last resort I submitted it to the Download section, and by some miracle it worked. You can find version 0.8 under RPG. Go ahead and download that, but apparently the forum upload was fixed, so you can just download it from below.

BTW, did anyone check out cyberpowersystems.com yet? I'd appreciate some testimonials or monials. I'd appreciate it.

Good to see you've got it on, I'll give it a go, I guess its still in its early stages?

Sorry, something wrong with that last one. When I hit "submit" it gave me an error message, so I thought nothing got uploaded. Turned out about 10% WAS uploaded, but realize that THAT'S NOT THE MAP! Don't download it, instead download it here, which is in the download section of this site. There may be some bugs, but I probably fixed most of them in the 0.9 Beta version that I'm working on right now. Don't worry, I'll keep y'all informed, but if you can't wait, click that link above to download the Alpha version. (I think it should be called alpha, cuz it's before beta)


Has anyone here even HEARD about cyberpowersystem (read previous threads)?
