[Prometheus]

SC2 should just be freakin C++ for coding.

I think it would be better if it was in D...

 

[rover2341]

I agree it should be some where between c++ and c#. any less would be no good.

 

[Flare]

More control over special effects, like moving them, adjusting size/colouring/transparency, applying a timer to them, etc. Would be so much better than having to use a unit to do all of that stuff

 

[Prometheus]

Twas mentioned that you could do an explosion VIA triggers.

 

[shinami]

I wish it would have mostly all control over the game aspects. Able to change special effects as wanted ( shape, color etc ), adjusting unit's through triggers withuot limitations ( Armor, attack etc ). Thats pretty much the only thing's that i want.

Off-topic: I wish my pc will be able to run sc2 ^_^ Since i'm not getting a new one soon.

Wouldn't it be a bummer if your computer couldn't run Sc2...

My computers about 6 years old.

 

[Prometheus]

My computer is a mix of mostly mid-08 parts and some 01 and 90s parts.

I got my computer a new graphics card and more RAM about 2 years ago.

Still counts as ancient

 

[Prometheus]

1 month = 1 computer year.
Yes, ancient.

 

[Romek]

1 month = 1 computer year.
Yes, ancient.

Yeah

Just to start up some conversation:
What does everyone think about the Map Protection?

 

[Flare]

Would be neat (assuming it was half-decent protection) - I wonder if they would add in some method of reversing the protection (so that the maker wouldn't be locked out completely if the forgot to make a backup), even though that'd just make deprotecting the map a bit easy

Also, would be cool if the new Bnet had an internal Map Database, so you could choose to upload a map to the server and then you could update that whenever you release a newer version (and make it so that only the original uploader is allowed to update, so people don't replace the original with some shit-ified version), and then you could just search through the database for the map rather than searching everywhere on the internet for it (assuming the host had a No Download policy )

 

[Prometheus]

No, have all the maps uploaded.
Then when you DL, you DL off of host and server!

 

[Flare]

If the hoster has a slow upload, then it's going to be a pain to have to upload to the server first, and it could cause the unintentional release of maps as well (if you were hosting a beta test, you may accidently upload the map without having had that intention)

 

[Prometheus]

Checkbox?

They will be password protected (Or so I heard)

I don't like the idea. At least with map corruption, even if the map was opened, it was near-impossible to change/edit/look through.

If someone found the password (Which, would probably be easy), they could edit the map in full. With original, nice GUI, separated triggers.

 

[rover2341]

They could always Set the password to one of there key chains.
Would that help reduce your chance of losing a map?

 

[Prometheus]

Make the map openable on only computers with a certain mac address?

 

[rover2341]

Why not, just force you to log on the internet to open your map. I know this sounds like it could be something alot wouldn't like, but in essence, you have to log on to Blizzards version of steam (that is coming) and then you can work on that map. So you cant lose your password, unless blizzard messes up some how.

I think that's a bad idea.

Virgin Media Internet tends to go down about once every 2 months, during the time it's down, I go on WE a lot .
If I needed the internet to map... :thdown:
