Ok, Xghost, here is how its done, in exquisitly simplisticness. (Hmm, sounds bad, maybe simplisticality?)
1. Open starforge
2. Create a new map
3. Place a scarab
4. Select the scarab, go to properties
5. In the player box type 14
6. You may now begin your map.
Also, if you want someone to make a 4x speed map for you, at least tell us what size/tileset you want.

You might need to fiddle with the location of where exactly you place the scarab. Try it in different places in the corners.

First I put it in top left corner, but sometimes I have to move it around slightly.

If you think it should be in a specific position on the map, then you shouldn't use it at all.

Seriously, what kind of idiot thinks putting it in some specific location makes this work?

1. Place an interceptor for Player 14 as the FIRST unit on the map. It doesn't matter where you place it(dumb ass=top left corner), it just needs to be the first unit on the map.
2. The End.

In other words, 1st = order which you place it, not the first unit from the upper left corner.

Place a player 14 scarab anywhere as the first unit on your map.

This unit MUST be placed first.

I've done 4x speed several times and I've found that, to me, I have to keep moving the scarab around a little. Also, once I've even had it where whenever a unit touched where the scarab was it would freeze too.

I've also helped other people who have tried 4x speed and they have told me that they followed all the steps and placed the scarab first yet it still didn't work, and I told them to keep moving it around and trying again, and eventually they got it.

Maybe its that you were placing them off the map before, and when you put it in the top left, it wasn't off any more?
I really can't see location affecting it.
Heres a test map that proves location is irrelevent.

But... Either....
A) Save another copy of the map somewhere elce and fiddle with it there...
B) Create a whole new map and fiddle with it there...

Vic likes to do people favours a lot lol...
But really, you should make your own map or you don't learn anything and be dependent on other for a long time.

Moving it around a little does not make it work.

Just a little note:

Interceptor > Scarab

The interceptor can be placed anywhere, while the scarab must be placed on valid terrain. Scarabs are ground units. You just have to make the interceptor be the first unit placed on the map.

here is my impression of the speed's :

1. u place the scarab anywhere as the first unit on the map
2. it disapeir's so it doesn't matter where the crap you put it although if the game lag's when the scrab still exist's then it is likly the game wil crash cuase it happend to me on my map sad.gif
