It is my goal to use my abilities to try to pump out a bad ass Defense map (since sc is popular for that kind of thing). Ive helped lots of makers in SC with such maps like Photo Defense, Sunken D, and Bunker Def. So now I wanna find people who wanna help to make a name for them selves at the beginning. I present to you my release idea of Photon Defense!!!!

The Idea in a Nutshell
-----
Basically it will be kind of like Photo Defense and Sunken D mixed together. Ive gotten to see some stuff about what the engine from a friend who works as a Game Tester for blizzard. Of course I can't assure that this is how it will turn out since ive only seen glimpses of the editor. I hope to work on it ounce SC2 finally makes it to shelves and I hope I will have a crew willing to give me a hand. Full credit will be given!

You may feel free to post your ideas, I need them!

Good luck beating the other hundred people wanting to make this map when the game is released.

Well, I can't give ideas when I have not played either of them... It would be good if you gave more info if you want ideas. ;)

You do know that there aren't going to be photon cannons in SC2 right? Its possible that the editor will have them though, you should make if 'Phase Defense' for the new Phase Cannons

Okay I'd love to help out and get an early start in SC: 2. All that sounds fantastic, just 2 things.

1: What are those maps you helped make and their general ideas?

2: What sorts of Ideas do you need, is this map defense or what? I can surely think of something if you gave me some background info.

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
