Starphysics
StarPhysics is a StarCraft physics engine. It will use real-life physics and implement it into StarCraft for a more realistic gaming experience.

Specifications
-Players
•1
StarPhysics is a single player experience; you'll be testing the physics engine on your own, although it can be used in maps you may make in the future.
-Map tileset
•Badlands
For simplicity, the StarPhysics engine uses the Badlands.
-Map size
•124x124
StarPhysics maintains a relatively small map surface for easier controllability.
Storyline / Introduction
StarPhysics, as stated above, will be a real-world physics meets StarCraft engine. For example; there is a bridge. If you put too much weight on it, it simply collapses. The engine can be used to make maps a more in-depth experience for StarCraft players.
Features
-Player Interface
In the demos you will be given, you are faced with a single player experience. You will test the features, such as stress, weight, collisions, and more.
Screenshots / Demo
(STRESS TEST COMING SOON..)
Made with Production Template (keep this link to help propagate this template or you get smitten!)

Sounds cool, how many demos are there?

Currently, none.
But, SP will have demos such as Stress, Collisions, Weight, Buoyancy, Water, and more.

How long until it's finished? Sounds like it would be great to implement into my map (if I had permission).

be great if we could see this in a lil test map and get how it works and will work in game and react

Awsome. This can be used for my map as well. Are you going to make vision?

visions already been done
just what physics aspects are you planning on making? the only one i would be interested in is velocity, for aircraft landing strips.

How exactly is the bridge collasping going to work, are you just going to be teleported and centerviewed to a bridge that looks collapsed? And boyancy as well, how will that be done. Killing a ship because its overweight isn't exactly "starcraft physics".

...
he said the maps were implementing about "real-life" physics into starcraft. he specifically wants to overcome and eliminate "starcraft physics"

You mean 128x128, right?
Also, try to fix the unreal less-physics aspects of SC, too, such as air units stacking on top of each other, things burrowing on top of each other, a guy not getting killed when he's standing next to an exploding tank... you know, stuff like that
. This sounds cool, though.Report, edit, etc...Posted by Zeratul_101 on 2006-07-04 at 11:25:54
personally, i'm kinda iffy about the widescale use of these physics. they are very simple in small-scale usage but i don't see how this would work properly on a whole map with simultaneous events occurring

I'm not sure what to expect. I'll have to see it, I guess.

You have triggers to detect different types of terrain? O:
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Fadiosa on 2006-07-05 at 10:46:30
Guys, if I had triggers to detect types of terrain, this'd be in Experimental Maps already.
Mostly, things such as 'bridge collapsing' will be more like a simulation. But, this map will have a lot of complex triggers, so just for some clarification, it may take a bit of time.

Im hooked just hearing the name. O_o
Im just not quite sure how you will implement these new physics that will change the gaming experience. Only time will tell.
