(remastered)
Questions about Lurker weapon (or "goto max. range"?):
- Is it possible to do multiple damage (e.g. 10*4) per attack?
Lurker weapon seems to do damage once per target. Add dogrddamage/domissiledmg and/or set Weapon.Factor=2 still does damage once.
- Is it possible to reduce cooldown?
Lurker weapon's animation seems to take a fixed amount of time and it seems as if there can be one attack on-the-fly per attacker.
Reduce Weapon.Cooldown cannot speed up attack. Add attack in iscript does not launch another attack.



None.

The lurker weapon (Specifically weapon #109, regardless of what weapon is actually assigned to lurker in units.dat) is hardcoded to only damage the unit if the attacker hasn't damaged the target in last 32 frames.
Without the special check it would deal damage for each domissiledmg in iscript, so it would be quite strong against buildings and other large units, which can even happen if lurker gets killed while the attack is still going since the check is for target-attacker instead of target-bullet.



None.

Lol, is there anything about the lurker that isn't hardcoded in some way.



Trial and error... mostly error.

Oh_Man -- what units would u want to see in a second SC1 expansion? Green Archon? Terran Viking? Baneling?

Oh_Man -- Blizzard should go the WoW classic route - give us a second expansion for Starcraft 1!

l)ark_ssj9kevin -- I ended up buying it :(

dumbducky -- Kinda wild I never played it.

Ultraviolet -- kinda wild that SC:R is approaching a decade old at this point

NudeRaider -- doesn't change much of my argument. That's still 15 years ago. And they went the "lazy" route and used the sc2 engine for, which obviously is more limited (but way quicker) than rendering everything from scratch.

Ultraviolet -- I haven't even paid enough attention to remastered cinematics to even compare to what that guy did
[2025-3-12. : 6:06 pm]
Ultraviolet -- think he was comparing what that guy did to SC:R's cinematics more than SC2's cinematics
[2025-3-12. : 6:00 pm]
NudeRaider -- That said, I like the gritty look of his more than what they did with the sc2 cinematics where everything is just glowy and polished. This is just more fitting of a war scenario and captures the desperation of the Protoss better..

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: how can one person surpass entire video game company, none of SCBW's cinematics got remastered liek this
they weren't really remade, just rerecorded in hd or something. It's now over 25 years after they were made, tools and techniques have improved a lot and are much more accessible.
