[center]I'm not sure if this has been done before so...
Yeah, so I was bored a few nights ago, and I actually had a kinda cool idea. It's a bound, but instead of units dying to make explosions, you have text thrown in your face. Something along the lines of;
#####
#####
#####

If your unit was under the red '#', you'd die, lose a life, etc... I know this wouldn't be very fun for the whole game, so mabye it could be used on a level up type bound.
Thoughts?[/center]

I have thought of this idea many times... it would take a bit of time to center the text up right, would probably have a lot of triggers, but yeah.. I think it would be neat if it ever came up..

i dont think so, it woul b a plain bound game whit no explosions?

It would be an interesting way to add a bit of variety into the battle.net bound mix, and actually could look quite cool if it were pulled off well, the only problem being that you would have to constantly center the screen on the bounder owned by the player.
At least its not another "look at the pretty flashing lights" bound idea.

Try using red and grey. This combination of colors isn't possible.

Thats a good idea actually. Would be very annoying and time-consuming to make, but it would be very different.

Not a bad idea, really ud need a lot of different location sizes though. Would be cool to see, I hope someone makes one.

mabey u could make a bound out of text say like

and so on but ude have real exploshions and if u walked out of like text square ude die meby would be hella hard tho btw s= spawn and like the path out of text that would be super hard and time consuming for one lvl but it worl be pretty wierd and woul look realy cool ps i cant show u what it would look like on here cause the margins are diffrent and it looks retarded i tryed it

So its like a square with the exploding alphabet?

Even so, sounds awesome. Don't think it's been done before.

[center]I think I found a problem with this idea... Starcraft Carbon has a different ingame font that normal Starcraft on Mac. Not too sure about the PC side of things, though.
Moose: It was just an example, lol. Although, it could be done that way it you stacked the text...[/center]

lol that's interesting i'll try to do it ;D
lol name: Text Bound and ppl will go why text bound then they will know the sad truth

oh and you can do like safe-kill-safe-safe-safe
so it's easier to center because it will take the whole 2x2 location if it is a 1x1 u r screwed

Well, Moose, he was OBVIOUSLY using it as an example.

Its possible with a small map, and thatd be so awesome if it was made.
[End]

Is this what u had in mind?
Someone can finish if they want just give me credit.
Note: you will have to play a game before playing the map

[center]Haha, nice.
I'm going to make this into a single obsticle bound.[/center]

Thx pm me when your finish with it

whats nexts? Lucky bound? if you got luck u can beat the bound?

Hey, I think it would actually be a cool idea sacred, it also might bring text based effects into popularity, which would be a welcome release from all the boring explosions.
One problem, idiots talking a ton in the map and making the explosions look ugly. This would especially apply to people with spoofers.

I found a problem well really a downside about using text.
On multi player you can't talk to each other since all the "explosion" is displaying

since it's just a two obstacle preview of what i will do they are extremely easy!
just for SEN and i am adding credits to nuclearrabit when i am done with the bound

-TUTORIAL ON HOTKEYS ADDED!

**u hotkey your civilian then if you by some mistake you move screen you will just press 1+click WHY CORBO! WHY? because if i do it as automatically centering screen the mouse will go to the center too and that will interrupt you bounding
here is the map have fun

Interesting

Prolly easy to do... If you think about it

Yeah it was easy to do
VOTE FOR CORBO DLDB KEEPER!

Umm.. about 1/4 of bounds are already like that, where you only have a slim 10 frame rate cushion where you can beat the obstacle.

Ya, that kinda sucks considering lag can sometimes make you skip 10 frames or so.
It can also make it so the order you give your unit is activated 50 frames later or something.

sweet, i also thought of this like a year ago b4 i quit sc, i actually got it to work once i think, but i dont have that map any more :\
