Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-04-25 at 15:07:06


I'm going to add this little info: This list hasn't been updated for a very long time. Sometime I'll get it done.

Okay, modders. Here's the first public opportunity to help with FireGraft.


Currently, the project has been divided into 5 different sections to work on. The section I need help on:

EXE EDITS. These are either ID's in the exe, or restriction based on ID or race or flags or so on. I need your help here. If I have to go through remembering everything, it could take days, if not weeks. Here's your chance to help. Below is a list of everything in the exe that I will try to get editing. It's going to start really small, and then grow from there. Stuff is organized right now by Unit type. Please help by posting things that you can think of. If you post something I know I can't immediately change, it will be put on a pending list. Note, this list is nowhere near complete. I've just begun doing it, and don't have my own list with me, which is much more complete. The marine stuff is just there as an example, but it is the first thing on the list....

Also, don't get upset if your additions aren't added immediatly. I will try my hardest to keep this up, but it isn't going to be easy.

Addition - this does not mean that FG is anywhere near a release. Even if it is. Right now, I have no idea how long it will take. This is just the next step. Seeing as how I'm 'learning' as I go, it could take a long time.

The optical flare grenade is set in weapons.dat
The optical flare smoke is spawned via iscript.

The rest are good.


ADDITION - the animation that is used for restoration is the sp ability 2 animation. should be set via orders.dat, iirc.

That's really good. I would have forgotten some of them probably. I'll update the main list later today. That's a lot to sort through....but it helps that I don't have to try to think of them myself.

ADDITION - Voy, could you be more specific on anything that is under Terran/Zerg/Protoss that you don't see in my list...

Except, the targeting is actually in weapons.dat....if the order has the first flag checked.

Terran
Vulture speed rate upgrade

Upgrade amount damaged added to all races.

Hay maybe you could make a mac version!! I'm just joking, but maybe help me make one!

I don't know if this belongs here very much, but I always wondered why the Defiler is not affected by the Plague spell when it casts it right next to itself?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-04-27 at 14:51:22
I think that it is because unit's normally can't target themselves. Much like an emp shockwave doesn't deplete the energy of the science vessel that casts it. I'm going to go see what happens when I enable the self targeting and then try to cast plague.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by BroodKiller on 2006-04-27 at 15:04:10
Oh, speaking of the spell durations - I recalled that there was once similar info on CC. here : t3h lynx
I hope you can make something out of it, DoA?

EDIT:Speaking of self-targeting, why then the HT can die from his own Psi Storm?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-04-27 at 15:25:08
I have already. In fact, that section on ASM was what got me started into it. If not for that, I wouldn't even be making FG, nor would I know much about the exe at all.

As for the HT, I think it is because it doesn't need to set a variable for the unit, it just attacks all units underneath it. Much like how Dark Swarm protects units of any player underneath it.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Doodle77(MM) on 2006-05-01 at 17:46:32
How about some trigger stuff- Exactly what "any unit" is. "Men" "Factories" (i think these are controlled by the flags in units.dat anyway) are not that important. (i.e. "Any Unit" does not include Dark Swarm, etc)
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Ojan on 2006-05-02 at 09:09:06
Isn't that done by changing the flags in Units.dat's StarEdit tab in DatEdit? There's not really that much more that you need to do with it....
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-05-02 at 09:26:38
Yeah. I don't know how they all work, but that's what they are....
Report, edit, etc...Posted by BroodKiller on 2006-05-02 at 12:11:37
I think that this is because Dark Swarm has all the StarEdit Availability flags unchecked, as well as the "Unit" SE flag. (it has only "Neutral" checked). Check out if this "Any Unit" work also work for resources - they're very similar to Dark Swarm.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Voyager7456(MM) on 2006-05-14 at 21:10:05
Do you still need me to clarify on some of them?

Also, I thought of a few more things:

Disruption Web/Dark Swarm - Unit Spawned
Disruption Web/Dark Swarm - Owner

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-05-16 at 09:34:20
If you know I haven't put it up and it is not because I have a very small amount of time, then yes, I might need some explanation as to what the exact limitation is.

However, I haven't been able to update for a while, but I'll try to do it soon.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rikimbo on 2006-05-28 at 11:20:51
I don't know if these fit what you're asking for... but they're things that are hard-coded in the exe, as far as I know... I don't have high hopes for these smile.gif

- 'Use Map Settings' restriction on Installation tileset.

- The space filter in the space platform tileset - enabling it for other tilesets?

- 12 unit selection restriction.

- Maximum of 200 supply restriction on each race.

Maybe some of these have been mentioned before... I read through all of the above, but that's alot of information to keep track of.

At any rate, looks really promising, DiscipleOfAdun. I'll be keeping an eye on this, for sure!

[right][snapback]495214[/snapback][/right]

i'm not think so ,because currently some hacks already made similar function
what lifted maximum selection they(builder of hack) did that, so then possiblity is opened

ADDITION:
another 2 deals are here
1 : when i made mod what Protoss SCV(his race is toss) build / cancle build and continue to rebuild / repair Nexus

that Toss's SCV can't do that if Nexus seted race to Toss
but all Actions is works when i did set race to Terran

so i think current SC continue build / repair is able to Terran race

i'd like that Actions able to all races Also organic unit able too

2: as i said some hack a moment ago,
there are some interesting functions
one of there is SCV/probe/drone can dig minerals form a long way off
like this...
user posted image
that is really exist in some hacks they did that

if could make like this in ur plan then this my idea is can be make
by with ur FireGraft as like this

i know that is't hack my point is that miner function included in some hack program
so i said that possiblity is opened it's main point of me
my main of mean is not about hack
i said hacks means to hacking SC programs

Well, you can technically select more than 12 units, but only 12 will be displayed on the GUI.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by BroodKiller on 2006-06-03 at 17:54:49
Exactly, which -for some- is a clear arguement that there is no sense in doing so. Me included.
