Step 4 - Changing Map Settings:
To make our loading screen complete, we need to modify the map slightly. This wont have any impact on your map except for the loading screen changes.
In the main World Editor windows (where you see terrain), go into Scenario -> Map Options. Here you need to change the dropdown Game Data Set to Melee (Latest Patch).

The reason for this change is to make the map load without "Press Any Key" in multiplayer and LAN. It does accomplish this...but at what cost?

I'm guessing I can't help you with an answer, but I suggest you make a backup of your map and try stuff out, that way you'd figure it best =]

I don't see why it would hurt. Do you actually use any Melee AI? If not, I don't see why it would hurt.

I did, but I can't tell what it does (aside from intended thing). I'm asking to see if there are unforeseen bugs that will pop up and bite my ass.

I don't use any AI, and I don't use anything but custom objects.

Q: Why are the base stats of my units not the same as the regular game?

A: Melee maps use the unit data from the most recent patch, so they may change if a new patch comes out. Non-melee maps use the original unit data (RoC 1.01 or TFT 1.07). This is so patch changes will not mess up custom maps.

If you want to use the most recent patch data in your custom map, go to "Scenario->Map Options..." and change the "Game Data Set" entry to "Latest Patch".

This only changes unit data, not abilities. As a result of this, when Blizzard made drastic changes to abilities they create two versions of the ability. This is so the old units can have the old ability and the new units can have the new ability.

This wouldn't affect custom units, would it?

I think TcX is using this.
If I am correct then nothing harmful could happen.
Make a copy of the source map. Nobody want's Etd to die because of some little mistake.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
