I'm not sure if anyone here knows this, but my computer wont play any games...anymore! It has something to do with the sound. However, I still need to do my maps and I don't want too many bugs when I release them! Of course they will be protected to insure that no one tampers with them or sells them or something, but I need like 8 testers (it is an 8 player game!) I will give more information as this goes along!

Of course. I'll test for anyone.


This game is about what?

I'll probably test what, depending on what your answer to DK's question is.
Does it give you the invalid music file(i.e. TerranMusic1)? Or that it's got an error or something?

I'm happy to see I'm already getting testers, but I still need at least 8 in all. The game is like zergling blood...let's leave it at that! You will all get to see the twist in no time!

Also, I need 8 people, but there will be seven games, so I also half to ask how many times your willing to test it? It has some really odd triggers that most would never see, but it works!

I'll post the map when I have enought testers...until then, I'll work on "bugs" that I don't know about! (AKA-Going though every trigger and making sure it is ready!)

So you're actually thinking it's going to happen that ALL eight testers will be online at one time?

Hey, it's possible. Maybe. Not.

Possible? Sure. If you're a real gambler.

Your best bet is to find people on MSN and throw them on too.

Actually, Yea, I do....You see I figure everyone who comes here will give me where they live and I will figure out the time zone then set up a reasonable time for them all to play it at once! That's all I got, else, lady luck, guide us!

Almost forgot, I have some questions for my testers:
1) How much is killing a zergling worth in score?
2) What type of trigger can I use so that when the person kills so and so many zerglings it will end...make up a number if you have to?

I'm asking them here, because I am lazy and I don't want to look it up...

1. A Zergling is worth 50 Kill Points.
2. Use the "Kill" condition. Use the number 1000.

Gracias! This will help me, especially since I am like Super Lazy! Hmm, I know I shouldn't say that...Well, I'm not lazy on making maps, just finding out HOW to make parts of them!

I am almost done with the first version! This one is going to have TONS of bugs, so I plan to give it to my testers to play with friends and then report back on the bugs! Try playing 7 games, each time with a different number of friends!

That 1% that is left to be done is Mission Breifing! I always leave it for last, and I always have hated it the most! However, I do like to watch them when I am done!

On another note, I think that everyone will like how minerals are given and how to win...it is a pretty strait forward game!

Wait, I almost forgot, I decided to put in an Arbitor for each player so that there is some use for observers! That should make this interesting! (Also, they look impossible to kill, but if you get 250 zerglings killed, then you can get a thing that can kill them! Their is my upper hand hint to playing this when I release!)

Hmm....I know I need to add something! Oh Yea, When you first play this map you'll get confused when all of a sudden a bunch of your zerglings plus everyone elses begins to move without your control! My advise is to just let them go, because if you tell the all to return (With the mass attack) then you'll find yourself in someone elses base! And that would be funny, and surprising! w00t.gif blink.gif confused.gif

about the 8-people-online-at-same-time thing, actually, anyone can download this map and just create it on bnet for others to dl and then test it right? of course there should be some mappers who would know a bug when they see it

Thanks to Shadow_Paladin, I made a version that should be a bit more even...I wouldn't know because SC is broken in every form around! I cannot even get to B-Net though the internet! How messed up!

Anyway, below is version 1.1, I hope it is better than 1.0!
