Staredit Network

[center]SeN Modding Competition

Objective:
Modify a race so that it is the most deadly. The way we will judge this is by, your modification will be played by you, or the judges. You will have 10-15 minutes to completley build your base and your units (Much like a defence). There will be constant waves of enemy forces pounding your base.

Restrictions:
1. No invincible units.
2. No units with "Unknown" armor type.
3. Your modification must be compatible with a multiplayer game server so that other players can play against you.
4. No using MemGraft to add or subtract units or buildings to your race.
5. All mineral costs of units and buildings must be double the default Starcraft amount.
6. All gas costs of units and buildings must be double the default Starcraft amount.
7. All unit and building construction times must be the default Starcraft amount.
8. All units must have a sprite assigned to them.
9. No modifying the starting number of buildings, peons, or resources.
10. All units must use the default Starcraft supply amount. You may modify how much supply is provided by units.
11. No units which intentionally crash the game or cause other malicious actions.
12. No weapons may have a range of greater than 25 or a splash bigger than 12 tiles in radius.
13. You may not modify how many minerals a peon carries.
14. No turret stacking on a single unit.

Notes:

* You may give units Nuclear Strike and Mind Control as attacks.
* You may make units detected as buildings so that they aren't targeted by spells.
* There is no limit to the damage, shields, armor, or attack of any unit or weapon.


How it works:
The way we will judge this is by, your modification will be played by you, or the judges. You will have 10-15 minutes to completley build your base and your units (Much like a defence). There will be constant waves of enemy forces pounding your base.

You start off with 100 points, after each wave you survive, you will be granted a total of 1 point added to your 100 points. If you can't defeat the wave, you lose.

The number of people with the most points will win the following prizes:

1st Place: 1000 Minerals
2nd Place: 500 Minerals
3rd Place: 250 Minerals
25 minerals for participating

Signing Up:
When you sign up for the tourney, you will be assigned a race, Terran, Protoss, or Zerg to modify. This is to avoid everyone picking the same race.
Please send a notification via PM, telling me you are entering the tourney, I will be keeping track of how many members enter this, I will also reply back to you on what race you will be modding.[/center]

Thanks for helping me with this DTBK, All credit goes to you

[sub]This will be fun. Wish I knew how to mod. [/sub]

Nice, Slyence. Everyone who wishes to participate, please remember you can submit minerals to ME + ONLY ME! I say this because, I'm going to make a jackpot. Ill submit as much minerals to the jackpot as I have. You dont have to, but if you want a better first prize, submit them to me. That way I can keep up who submitted, how much submitted, etc. Everyone who submits, will be listed in the news showing who donated, who won, and who were the competitors. Thanks and GL to all of you.

So... you have to find the unit within 3 minutes eh?

*Starts scheming up something evil*

EDIT: Who controls the unit, you or the person who made it?

I thought I was evil though? *points to your sig*
Oh a btw, all the minerals I have someone has either sent some, or I've been posting. So the jackpot will always go up. No matter what.

Could you please post some more information such as deadline perhaps?

And restrictions as well.

Oh, and as for the scariest unit... Does that mean we will be using GRP's? And can we make it so you have to downgrade SC? I have a few ideas but they can only be done with MemGraft!

Anyways, more information!

Agreed... MemGraft would be a BIG help...

ok, I'll make a unit with no visible sprite, selection circle, and unselectable. Then I'll give it yamato attack as default or nuke, does that count?

What a big gap on 1st Place on 2nd Place, I'm not going to enter.

What does this contest have to do with modding...

from what I can see its editing a grp and setting permanently cloakd in arsenal 3 for a lurker

SI is going to win, no point in trying to beat him

Seriously though, TERRAINFIGHTER is right, if you're going to make a modding contest, than really make it about modding! Maybe something like, who can completely change the most units in the period of a week, or create the most complicated bug-free funny & cool iscript, or who can make the smartest AI script for all three races; stuff like that!

Deadline Added.


Rules added. Yes, for the scariest unit you will be using GRP's.


Prizes are now larger.

m.r.bob:

Arg, conflicted interests.

I really want to do this, but there are so many other things I Really want to do, so I don't know...

The problem is I could easily take it, iscripting is really the heart of this contest.

EDIT: HEY! It was supposed to be the new modding leader with the first contest!!!
Wait for Yoshi to decide, and stop trying to change his mind at the last second.

I think this would be a great modding competition:

Making battle.net change (such as login, create account. Yes it works!)
Making different attack, and change health to balance it exactly like starcraft. Meaning change the health and attack of all units, and make it so sc is still the same such as,

Zealot > Marine > Zergling

Sorry if this isn't a great start on the competition. I didnt have much info on if he was going to make a news topic or what. But I think the competition should be what I said above.

Yup ... From this post on, Please be more intact with the new competition.

OMG. This new competition is AWESOME! I'm getting to work right away! (The only bad thing is no MemGraft, but meh... )

I'm signing up. Gimme a race!

Well, the new tourney sounds nice, but how are you going to combine the mods if two people use the same race? Scripts of the same units might clash into each other, and you'll have to spend weeks rewriting everything!

add in a restriction on turrets, cuz sum1 can make a tank with a tank turret, a siegeed turret on that, a goliath turret on that, a hero goliath turret on that, a hero tank turret on that... so on so forth...

Thanks for the tip, I have just added it into the restrictions. You may also notice a change in how evreything works.

no. turrets not weapons, cuz a turret can count as a unit, with only 1 weapon, and they can keep stacking turrets...

What about units that 0 health or have such high health that it wraps around to 0? (Can't kill them with damage)

I'm just going to put it under as Invincible.
