I am wondering if there is a program or something that could change the time in which a unit is placed in a map editor. You guys say about when you want to change the game speed to x2 or x4 that you need to place a special unit and make that unit the first unit placed in the editor... What about changing the "code" of the unit to make the unit being the second unit placed on the map in the editor. This could be nice for maps that want to have versions that are fast being converted to normal speed and versions with normal speed being converted to x2 and x4 game speeds. Could this be done with any type of program? Could this be done at all? I wanted to know if this could be done when I though that each unit placed on the map must have its own little "code" and how they say that the certain unit to make the x2 and x4 game speed must be placed first in the editor... This must be something to do with the "code" of the unit.
Could we change the "code"? Do you guys/girls get what I mean/am trying to say?
Yes, it is possible to change the code, but you would need HexEdit.
Good Luck.
Could it be something that hard? I would see how it would be so hard... Here is an example: Unit 1 is a marine. Unit 231 is the map revealer (this will make the speed faster). Switch the code of the two units to make the Marine unit 231 and the map revealer unit 1... Dosen't seem too hard...
Open it up in SCMToolkit (look in outdated programs, it's the only program I know of that shows the units in order they were placed in) to find out what unit 'Unit 1' is (if you know it's the marine this really isn't needed). Then just delete the marine and place the map revealer (or with Starforge go in unit properties and change the Unit ID to that of a map revealer, for map revealer it's 101).
I will go and try this. Can't this be done with SCM Draft 2 as well?
if your trying to just put a unit so its first you can use scm draft 2 just copy all your units delete them place the special unit for player 14 in the top right i think it is then re paste all your units, ive done this before for a lord of the rings map, i wanted to see what it would be like to see a movie like map on crack, Funny stuff!!
But then your talking about maps that gots tons of units in them to just replace... Can't do that
