Demo Map Abstract Player Colours

[uberfoop]

Reminds me of silly colourations by using high numbers in Starforge, allowing you to assign random textures, sometimes animated, based on the terrain you were using. Was neat when you find that perfect black on units/black on minimap combo that could be elusive and wasn't natural in SC.

Back on topic, this is hilariously unstable. On the map i tried this on, only 23 ever seemed to work at all, and even then it crashes half the time. Sometimes immediately, sometimes when the unit is selected, whatever. Still got some neat effects going. In any case, this is both pretty whacky and an epic win.

Hehehe. Player colors are a nice little array of .blps. We're abusing ConvertPlayerColor to get other random .blp files. I don't think Blizzard has any sort of protection on those Convert...() natives. Isn't that... fun?

Like the wisp made of white circles. That's the selection circle texture (AND IT LOOKS AWESOME).

I notcied somethin:
you can overlap two (or more?) of these textures.
i just tried some random ints and then i got an grey wisp with those selection
thingies around.

And, sometimes it crashes if you select the wisp.

e: i also think that some of some are not constant.

There's no overlap. That's just a texture with two colours?

 

[Renendaru]

Should the thread name be instead Hidden Player Textures?

 

[Azlier]

Maybe... "Unstable Dynamic BLP Extraction"

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Maybe... "Unstable Dynamic BLP Extraction"

This.

OR "Yet another Fatal Error". :thup:

So. Can we give a player a race that is OVER 9000?

I think Wasted is right. We're dancing next to the bear.

TH: Home of I2C(C2I()) and glitching player colours.

>I think Wasted is right. We're dancing next to the bear.

We're hitting it with our clubs, screaming. While Vikings sing and bang their shields in the background.

>So. Can we give a player a race that is OVER 9000?

LET'S DO IT!

loal, no.

24 makes my warcraft III crash when I type -next 3 times.

loal.

 

[Renendaru]

Yes... This has been said multiple times within this thread, refers to Jesus's post. Some numbers will crash.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

Wow, 28 is awesome.

 

[Lightstalker]

Don't know how you guys did it but it doesn't do anything for me

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

type ingame -next
.

Loale this thing is so weird.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Loale

I think you misspelled "lol".

Anyone want to try preloading textures and loading them to a unit with abstract player colours?

Renamed thread to Abstract Player Colours. And will probably approve it soon as this thread is a priceless resource, in my opinion.

 

[Renendaru]

If you really want me to, I'll add bigger credits for you and Azlier.

 

[Azlier]

Jesus4Lyf didn't do ANYTHING that truly contributed to this. :nuts: (Other than the lots of work that went into lists, but that DOES NOT COUNT!)

I started it all! ME, ME! Rawr!

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Lol, the credits are all fine. I've done and will continue to do plenty of research on the topic.

Back on topic.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

I actually tryied with "Thunder clap" and it doesn't work.
It stays the same.

Though, J4L thing with the wisp can work with any hero. I tried with proudmore and it works.

Lolwut?

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

The model "Thunder clap" under 28 does not change.

tryied

To try.
