Greetings everyone, do you need a tester of the maps?

Map: Ride of the Raiders
Campaign: When One Domino Falls
Creator: IlyaSnopchenko

My first example: I tested the map on the video.
Status: Remastered\No comments


Note: more information about the campaign you can find here - http://www.staredit.net/topic/17827/
Original story - https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10854777/1/

Rules:

I) My actions:
1) I make the video when I can do it (unfortunately, I can't do this often)
2) I am writing a commentary about the map for you, where I will describe my thoughts, details of the game.
Note: I can't speak English, only Russian. If you are uncomfortable about this, I can make a video without comments.

II) Your actions:
1) You send me the map for testing + the short description for the map (what should I do and what awaits me on the map).
2) You send me the picture for the video.

Q\A:
Q: Why is all this needed?
A: Sometimes people need help, but there is no one to ask.

Q: Why do you need it?
A: I want to help people + this is content for youtube.

Q: How often do you want to test the maps?
A: When I have free time and wish for it, because time and wish are two very important factors for creating the video.

Q: Are you testing alone or is there someone else?
A: For now alone, but I would like more testers.

Introduction to the topic


I would like to say with this post that authors and testers should find each other and do work together, then the content will be of good quality. Maybe new authors and testers will write in this post, and then they will start working together.

I'm always in need of testers for whatever is currently in UEDAIP dev, in this case the vanilla Terran and Zerg campaigns :) If you'd want to help, you can read more here http://www.staredit.net/topic/17383/ and even more on the project's discord server (linked in the thread) - download is on MEGA under the same link, as well

In some months I am going to finish my "CPU Cat Revival"-map - need to finish my compiler, but then it would be an honor to see you playing my first map creation. :)

Many thanks to Alex for doing this. I've already taken (most of) these suggestions into account.

Many things to fix starting with that cursed idle_orders script, it looks like...
Many thanks to Alex for pointing these out, for some reason I abhor playing this mission (even though drawing it was pretty fun, and creating triggers quite an undertaking).

Excellent, I'm seeing some things that need to be "tightened", although by far not as much as in some maps tested earlier... Much thanks!

This was almost as awesome to watch as it is to play this map (for me, at least). I got a few ideas on improving it from watching Alex's playthrough, although this time there don't seem to be any straight errors / issues per se...

Many thanks!

Thanks! Guess the difficulty needs to be amped up, somehow.

NudeRaider -- The visuals are good, the animation is terrible: the movement is off, the impacts in battle scenes have zero weight to it, the lip sync is right up uncanny valley. But yeah, considering what it is it's pretty good overall.

Oh_Man -- https://youtu.be/pPZafFJOi48 crazy good
[2026-3-07. : 9:51 am]
NimoStar -- And Pathfinding in SC1 was not *that* bad, the problem is that it was designed as a flat 2D game like WC1 (and it was in the alpha) and then switched to isometric without changing the base code. So its actually a flat game pretending to be isometric. With the custom competitive maps that use larger ramps and elevation, pathfinding is quite fixed.
[2026-3-07. : 9:47 am]
NimoStar -- The unlocking and map choice was fine, but mostly in WoL - In HoTS the worst of all units are irrelevant because Kerrigan has infinite summon and stuff. And even in WoL the spaceship instakill map powers are better than units. If I could RTS in my RTS that'd be great.

Nekron shouted: NudeRaider not that the og sc1 campaigns are particularly good mechanically but cmon, SC2 map mechanics are the opposite of fun
There's many parts to it. I think the raw rts gameplay of sc1 is unsurpassed to this day. And I too never liked that sc2 missions always rush you in some way or another, because I like to take my time. However I still have to admit that they way they did it often was always pretty cool. Like lava rising and receding, a huge-ass mothership destroying bases, undead coming at night, just to name a few, those are definitely creative, so I'm sure there's people that liked it. But that's not even what I meant. It's the unlocking of new features and upgrades and choice which map to play next that made it so much more motivating for me.
