Tool or mod for bypassing the 1700 unit limit for 1.16.1?
Hi! I've been looking on the forum to find a tool or a mod for bypassing the 1700 unit limit for 1.16.1, but I can't find anything or maybe it's something that I'm missing. Could you point me to one if it exists?
Here's one from... neiv, of course - http://www.staredit.net/topic/16823/
https://github.com/neivv/teippi
Doesn't work with most other plugins though

Thank you!
As I have said in this post, there's a trick to run ai_debug along teippi. What I have done to make them run without an issue is I started a new Firegraft project, then I added ai_debug as the first plugin, with teippi following next, and then I saved the project as .exe. Like this:
If you add teippi first and ai_debug second, it won't work. This reminds me of messing out with Doom 2 mods in the same manner.

None.
I think the debug release of teippi already includes the debug

I just checked, it doesn't. I pressed all keys 
None.
You mustve gotten the non-debug one then o_o should be possible to compile debug from github, neiv included some instructions
Yep, you're right, I've gotten the non-debug version. I've been trying to compile it for a couple of minute, but I keep getting errors for both methods, for Visual Studio and python. I'm gonna try on a different machine that uses the latest versions of everything, I hope it'll work.
None.
I got to compile the .qdp file. You were right, this teippi version includes ai_debug. I have gotten one issue, though, right before the creation of the .qdp, I got these warnings in the console:
I managed to fix all the previous errors that occurred before during building, but not this one.
I noticed when I use this .qdp with Firegraft and the run Starcraft, Starcraft keeps hanging from time to time for small maps like Andromeda, with only 200 units. But, if I'm running it with a map that has more than 1000 units, the game starts lagging.
If I'm running it with Chaoslauncher, with more than 1000 units, the game crashes.
This behaviour never happened with before with the previous versions of teippi and ai_debug.
Do you think those warnings introduced the hanging and lagging of the game?
I attached the file below.

I found this build stashed away on my hard drive, you can take a look if it's any better; I think lag is expected with the dev release (depending on your machine), though I haven't really run into any with such low unit / sprite numbers as you're mentioning.

Thanks! "teippi_dev.qdp" did the trick! It works as expected with both Firegraft and Chaoslauncher.
I tested "teippi debug.qdp" on a PC way way stronger than mine and it happened the same. If the missing "freetype26d.pdb" (I have no idea how to generate it) is not the culprit for the hang/lag, then it's either something wrong with my Visual Studio's settings (which might be, since I'm new to compiling programs) or something might be wrong with the teippi source, or, as you pointed out, the PC.

None.
I suppose if I were to compile the project on the other PC, the results might've been different.
None.
I tried to map out all the commands of "teippi debug.qdp" (most of the commands apply to "ai_debug.qdp", as well) based on these 2 files:
scconsole.cpp
genericconsole.cpp
I tested the commands out only with "teippi_dev.qdp", though.
There are some commands that I couldn't figure out. You'll find them along the other commands. If you have any idea about how they work, let me know, and I'll adjust the post.
Any of you know why I get "Failed to get ImageSize" below when I'm trying to link to an imgur image?

spawn (unit name <string> or hexadecimal_id <number hexadecimal>) (amount <number>) (player_id <number>)
Spawn a specific amount of units for a certain player
Example:
spawn probe 10 1 - spawns 10 probes for the player with the id of 1
spawn 3d 10 1 - spawns 10 dark templars for the player with the id of 1
It doesn't work for units that have a 2 word string, for example "dark templar". Instead, you have to use the hexadecimal_id for "dark templar", which is "3d". The hexadecimal_id is derived from the decimal_id of the unit, which for "dark templar" is 61. This 61 value can be found in DatEdit, SCMDraft 2, ChkDraft and some other tools
Every time you use a 2 word string, a suggestion gets printed showing both the name of the unit and its hexadecimal_id
Example:
spawn probe 10 1 - spawns 10 probes for the player with the id of 1
spawn 3d 10 1 - spawns 10 dark templars for the player with the id of 1

Example:
aiscript info 1 - displays information for each AI script player 1 has
gsw (value <number>)
Sets the game to wait *about* (value <number>) milliseconds between frames. Slowest working value is around 150, holding down the + key will go even faster than "gsw 0"
Example:
gsw 42 - runs game at the fastest speed
Example:
gsw 42 - runs game at the fastest speed
sleep (value <number>)
Freezes the game for an amount of milliseconds
Example:
sleep 5000 - freezes the game for 5 seconds

Unit id: 9a, lookup id: 0000003e
u ("f"/"find") (lookup_id <number hexadecimal>)
Use the lookup_id value provided by "u id" to find the unit behind the value on the map. Once the command is triggered, it jumps on the map to the unit's location.
Example:
The example for for "u id" above has "0000003e" as the lookup_id, hence we can use:
u find 3e
or
u f 3e
