#1- I'd like to have access to the campaign's units such as the medic / firebat and the others. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find them on the editor, is there anyways to download them or is it something they kept away from us?

#2- I have a ''fastest map possible'' map with only one mineral patch. The problem is that when you have 50 workers stacked to mine, they tend to get expulsed from the group when they're done mining 1 interval (which means you lose some mining time). I know it's a bit hard to explain but I'm trying to make them able to stack on each other but only on that mineral patch. Otherwise I'm sure people would use stacked workers to attack or any other way of abusing them. Anyone has an idea?


#3- I'm trying to set a timer (not a countdown) to inform the player of the game duration. Can anyone give me a detailed trigger that would imply a timer with no limit? Yes I know this is spoonfeeding but I have always sucked balls with triggers I jsut can't get it through my head unless it's right in front of me.


#4- I'm trying to add a color to the map of the game (when you browse for custom games). Somebody in an earlier thread told me that I had to use <c val="000000">MAP NAME</c> in the map info but does anybody have the list of the color codes?
 
for now
1 when create your map add Liberty(campaign) mod
or file-dependencies-add standard Liberty(campaign)
2 countdown whit big time (9999999) for example
another way trigger whit periodic event 1 sec period (real time if you want show real time) and variable of type integer (global)
and ever execution of this trigger give 1 to your variable
you must show this variable in window and this give real time in sec

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
