Staredit Network

Well mapping just became 100x gayer. From what I've heard so far all stacking(in-game only) is disabled and also the color coding. I don't know any details on it but I know one thing..



BLIZZARD SCREWED MAP MAKING!!!! EVERYONE COMAPLAIN


Also they screwed with melee, no more ladder.

wow...this sucks now theres no overlaps?

Nothing, it looks so nubish now, and ingame your name appears in the same color as your team or something. I heard anyway..

A new patch just game out? I was on earlier but didn't get it.

Ya same as your player colour.

UMS maps look so unprofessional now, the part isnt that good. It looks so ugly when you join a game. In-game is so sick now but blah...

Yes, it's DK's stupidity that leads to these amazing findings of his.

i just now notice in my map that i can click on a disabled vaspene gas that isnt even vision to me or them.

Just so you know, sentences usually end with a period.

Desperado's Patch Notes - StarCraft 1.14

• Numerous cheats and exploits have been fixed.
• Ladder play has been removed (possibly only for the duration of the WCG) and the Ladder button now links to a WCG page on www.battle.net. Player rankings remain the same, but Ladder games are no longer an option and in a player's profile Ladder games are no longer listed.
• Text colors and overlapping in force names is no longer possible. The default darker green color is now used. Your force name is displayed with light green.
• Maps with overlaps in the Map Name can be hosted, but others cannot join your game. If this is a glitch, and not an intended effect, it is likely Blizzard will undo this in 1.14b
• All other text coloring and overlapping remains the same, with the exception of the "Invisible" color, which is now red. It is unlikely that it was removed, but it will need to be refound.
• Player names (the text) while in-game now correspond to their player color. If colors over 12 are used, the default color of light blue is used. This means that the colors of Red, Blue, Teal, Purple, Orange, Brown, White, Yellow, Green, Tan, Light Yellow, and Light Blue will be available for use with the Display Text Message action, at the very least.
• Player colors over 12 are now different. The commonly used "17" is no longer black, though other numbers can be inputted to make the player black. The numbers 29, 33, and 36 will give you the Black color on multiple tilesets.
• Numerous individuals have reported that Zerg cloaking with an Arbiter still works. I have not tested this.
• The StarCraft game icon has been changed to a new drawing of the Terran Wraith. If you prefer the old icon, simply right click the game icon, select Properties and go to Change Icon.

This does not mean that stacking is disabled. You can still do so both in game as well as pre-place units stacked on top of eachother. What this is referring to is a hack and/or exploit which allowed players to stack units in Melee games or in UMS games without triggers which disable vision for the player.

Some guy in a RP told me that the new patch is
letting people hack into Blizzard.

He's an idiot.

He's probably just trying to scare you to keep the "hackers rep" up. To be serious I'm actually glad all the hacking is disabled. Now no more clan wars .

Unless its the old fashion melee ones

It won't take long for the latest version of inhale to be released.

Hacks are retarded and ruin the fun out of the game.

"Fixed exploit with Arbiter that allowed Zerg buildings to become cloaked."

This was through the use of a hack. I have now tested Zerg cloaking with an arbiter myself, and it still works. In fact, all the tricks in Commanda_Panda's True Tricks map still work.

As far as map making in concerned, the only changes are related to using the color/overlap marks.
No overlaps or colors in the forces, no overlaps or invisable color in the map name, and no invisable color in-game.

EUDs, extended unit, and such are scrambled as they normally are, but that's insignificant.

These are my patch notes.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Brood War Patch 1.14f Released!

As you may have seen or heard, Brood War Patch 1.14f has been released. The patch notes can be seen below.



This is, as far as I know, the first update for Staredit.exe made in a long time. Several exploits were patched, and some new features have been added.

This patch is byfar the most detailed I've seen since the lame one-liners, and here, is seen.

There are several misinterpretations of the patch too, as I will be explaining below.


Under bug fixes.


These describe several released "Resource Hacks" and "supply hacks" that use valid commands on invalid units.


This is unknown to me.


I believe this was already fixed in a previous patch.


Under exploit fixes.


This also relates to the "resource hacks" mentioned above.


These are in relation to the "Nydus Exit" and "Cloak Zerg Buildings" bugs. They have been patched. Zerg units can still be permanently cloaked by the arbiter.


Comfirmed-- is fixed. Although worker units can still suicide with a different command.


Comfirmed-- are all fixed. This is tool-assisted only. The arbiter-related glitches are still functional.


There were two commands that allowed this to occur. Only one has been fixed. The other remains. In other words, this exploit exists still.


This is related to a variety of misc. command hacks that have not been tested in the new patch.


I believe this relates to the glitch, which still works by the way.


The first exploit did not exist, however, the exploit allowed an SCV to continue building a protoss building so that it would build twice as fast, as well as detach larvae from hatcheries, and prevent zerg units from hatching.


Stacking buildings still works with "lights off" in UMS mode.


This is in relation to a "name spoofer" hack.


Glitch Related
The following non-tool assisted glitches have been patched:

- Nydus Exit Bug: Assisted by the Selection Glitch, allows you to cancel a Nydus Canal's exit and modify the Nydus Canal's unit variable.
- Infesting Crash: A crash involving a Queen when infesting a Terran Command Center, by using a command without selecting a target as the queen is entering the building. Crashes locally only.
- Morph Cloaked Buildings: Cloaked Zerg Drones morphing into cloaked Zerg Buildings.
- Unnamed: Cancelling upgrades assisted with the Selection Glitch on invalid units.

ALL other non-tool assisted glitches remain.


Bugs Caused

- Reports indicate that players cannot play the official PGTour maps online.


Other Changes
- Memory has been scrambled.
- Map Colours have been changed/modified to the following:

- Force names no longer read colours.
- Blizzard has implemented a function that makes Starcraft a little harder to hack.

yea im not so sure about this..i do not think you can stack anymore except with the use of protoss buildings

My notes have been tested, and I am correct.

Updated.
