I am trying to make a super simple UMS map

I am trying to make a version of BGH where me and a friend can start always at teh same location against 6 computers. When I updated the map, whenever I start the game, it ends in Draw immediately as the computers are not appearing. Does anyone know what the issue is? I checked and re-did the starting locations. If I start it as top vs bottom, the computers appear where they should randomly Thanks!

We do a little trolling

Try this: (8)Big Game Hunters VN2.scm

The issue was that apparently having computers set to "Random" doesn't actually make them create a nexus/hatchery/cc + workers in a UMS game. So I changed everyone to user select. You can still set them to random, but you have to do it manually. I also added in a few quick insane AI scripts that detect what race the computer is and runs the appropriate AI script for you. In UMS, computers won't do anything if you don't specifically give them an AI script. You can change the AI script difficulties if you want. Insane is the hardest option that comes default with SC.

P.S. Unfortunately without predefined races, SC removes preplaced units and buildings. So the Xel'Naga Temple and Psi Disrupter you preplaced won't show up in game.

That's fixed easily enough. Give it to one of Player 9 - 11. Can even give it to the real player once the game started, if that's necessary.

Thank you both. By the way is there a reason for me not to be able to open the new map with SCMDraft anymore? As it gives me an error (hr = 0x80004005) when trying to open, as I wanted to see what you changed so I'd know for the future. Thanks.

You're probably using the wrong version of Scmdraft 2. It's confusing because the latest 'official' build is not the true latest build. The latest build is an alpha build. Download here: http://www.stormcoast-fortress.net/Irregularies/?action=DownloadAlpha&ID=2020.06.24(W)

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
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.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
