Hello

Hi all
A couple of question:

#1
Is there any way to allow ideling Units to shot and follow the enemys when the map is speeded up? (p15 scarab)

#2
Is there any way to allow goliaths to shot when the map is speeded up? (P15 scarab)

#3
I just thought about this:
If you click a flag which is commanded by a player over 12 it'll crash because SC couldn't load the graphic of it.
So if you are making a transmission all the time the portrait wouldn't be shown, will it crash anyway?
If not; will it crash when someone is lagged out (wait 45 secounds) and the display will shown because the transmission is over?

#4
Is there any way to change the player-colors in normal melee? It seems so, but It doesn't work with SCMdraft I think


I can't test them at the moment, and I always wanted to ask those question... so please help :)

Don't know about map speed increase.

#3
This is easy to check for yourself. I can help you with that lag window if you need a tester.

#4
Sure it works. But keep in mind that melee ignores forces and has randomized start locations.
Or you're experiencing the "frozen player color bug" which basically reverts all colors to standard, despite their setting in the editor. Saving in another editor should get rid of it.

No, it will just immediately crash, as SC is attempting to load it, and cannot find it.

4. As long as you save the map as .scx it should work fine.



None.

Well you can also fix that ''bug'' by saving that map with .scx P12+ colors are only for brood war. Idk why.

That is not a bug fix, that is a feature. We all know .scm can't display extended colors.

What I'm talking about is different. The map IS already .scx and the colors work just fine, and then you do something (we haven't figured the something yet, since it's so rare) and suddenly the colors revert back to standard in SC, but ScmDraft shows them correctly.
