You can't honestly argue adding two extra players as being over-complicated. If anything just a minor personal annoyance.

I'm not saying quaternary countoffs are plain over-complicated

it seems like it could get unnecessarily tedious for my own personal preferences.




None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I've tested this with the trigger limit for savegames (65535 triggers = crash while saving).

This system consumes more triggers.

BTW, I just found out that the savegame trigger limit is at 65534 triggers per player.
That means, you can have 524272 triggers in your map, if you are using all 8 players.

IDK about you guys, but I like using "current player".
Same. Not sure how that's relevant though.

I'll use this the next time I have to do countoffs. Considering how slowly StarCraft transfers maps between players, being able to cut map size with no drawbacks is an ideal optimization.

I don't see this being any harder to use than binary. If anything, it's easier, and certainly more efficient.

Edit: Currently implementing it in a map, as it reduces the map size significantly more than binary would.

I said that before I realized how the system works. I still like organizing my triggers properly. With this, it's all over the place. Complexity adds a lot of difficulty to understanding a map.

Still, it works. It adds more triggers but takes up less space. IMO, the few bytes isn't worthwhile.

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
