Nah, leave that for a nother thread. And if this isn't suppose to go in Terran, where is it suppose to go?



None.

He already said that it is to help suppliment the terrain forum, I guess so more people visit it.

That makes... a little sense I suppose...



None.

It can also be used to cover up ugly terrain ;)



None.

Just here for the pie

It's mainly to make unique terrain, a good example of a unique place by combining visual effects and terrain is this by qPirateKing:


I also advise all of you Terrain Ladder people to make unique pieces, they are better than just heavily doodaded and extended pieces :wink: .

UMS. These could mostly only be used in UMS anyway.

wow, what map is that?

:payne:

Isn't it the one from QPirate? (If we exclude Deep Blue RPG and LoH)



None.

Yes, I said it was from him :O . I'm not sure from what map, however.

I found this out incidentally when screwing around. When a zerg structure is mutating, and given to P12, it stops mutating and stays there in "Permanent Mutation"
So it looks like an animated morphing zerg structure that will never stop.

Nice find, but what should I call it in the list?

Mutating Zerg Structure given to P12- Permament Mutation.




Apr 21 2008, 11:33 pm Vi3t-X Post #33



I guess so. Im gonna try this with various other structures too.
...brb?

Whoa, when I pasted that, my computer like forgot to erase the old stuff in memory so I pasted a bunch of crap. Cool!

Anyway, sweet concept :P I like it. :)

Does that concept of permanent mutations work for protoss structures?



None.

Apr 25 2008, 5:46 pm stickynote Post #36



Just test it yourself.



None.

UPDATE (yea its been long)

Zerg Structures when constructed and given to P12 have an 80% chance of staying in permanent mutation (from collaborated tests).
Zerg Structures when constructed by human, and human leaving has a 30-40% chance of staying in permanent mutation
Protoss Structures when constructed and given to P12 will NOT stay in permanent warp rift *sigh*
Terran Structures when constructed do not need to be given to P12, but rather by calculating the time it takes to construct that certain structure, you can accurately measure what "stage" of construction the structure will be in

^^

Ooh, another thing, which is strangely not listed...!?

> Invisible Bunkers
> Etheral Bunkers
> Pylonless Structures
> SCV Repairing a structure (Structure takes xxxxxxx time to build) gradually set building health up.
> "Blue" Protoss Structures (Warping Phase)
> Stacked Units!?

What do you mean by the terran structures one? Do you mean that you enable at a certain time?



None.

Lets say you have generic building stats. When the building reaches say 200HP, it transforms to the next "Stage" of development. By removing the scv, you can halt construction permanently and have a "forever thing there" structure.

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
[04:26 am]
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?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic

Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
