Quick question. Can you run mods yet, and if so, how?

Related question: Is there any way to add custom models yet? How about editing the terrain textures?



None.

Yes, but it's too complicated for me to explain right now. I'll write a tutorial for it if/when I get time.

Custom models can be exported from 3ds max (not animations yet) using NiNtoxicated's plugin, it's at sc2mapster and isn't complete.

Custom terrain is just a matter of making .dds's and putting them in the editor.

Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast

Place modified files in the LibertyMulti.SC2Mod folder under the same path they are in the archive files.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

Voy, you're supposed to be able to run mods (even in multiplayer) the same way you run a map. That's what I'm asking about.



None.

The multiplayer way isn't done yet, but you create a folder with .SC2Mod in the same directory as the LibertyMulti folder voy said, with all your modded files in it, and you'll end up using that. Easiest way to start a mod would be copying the LibertyMulti folder (or maybe a different one, not sure) and renaming it. Then go through replacing and deleting and adding everything you want changed. That's a simple explanation, it'll be a bit different once SC2 releases.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
