So, just getting into making banks. At the moment, I have a very simple bank that does the following:

Save a unit when that unit uses an abilitiy.

Load the saved unit when using an ability, removing the casting unit and selecting the new unit for the player.

It all works fine when I test it in 1 map, but how can I test it offline properly? It works when I save and load in the same session, but whenever I reload the map, it doesn't have anything saved.

Also, are there any precautions you can recommend to ensure it'll work online? Here are the triggers:

Save Trigger
Load Trigger
Map Initialization Trigger
(Drag-select over the one highlighted by icons, don't know why that once screwed up, it's not that important anywho)

Make sure you are opening the bank before doing anything with it and saving the bank before the player has a chance to leave the game.

Oh ya, forgot to post the Map Initialization triggers.

There ya go. But is there a way to emulate testing it online without having to publish it?



None.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
