Bound Practice v2

Keep in mind: Me + Bound = Bad idea.
But yet I'm making (another) one.

Bound Practice v2
Basically the exact same as v1, except I'm trying to do all 'pro' bounds.

Seeing as I'm not a pro, nor have I dreamed of being one, I would like some feedback.

I've finished one difficulty(currently labeled medium/mid in triggers, but IDK what I'll put it as) for the first bound( [1] )
I have no idea what difficulty to put the first one as, and I have no idea if its possible. And if it IS possible, it might not be 'pro'.

Just give me some feedback bounders.

Turning off music doesn't work yet. (CTRL+S to turn of StarCraft sound)
Speed changing doesn't work yet.


edit: edited terrain and lost start locations =O heres another download

Edit: Seeing as this section requires screenshots (Though not really necessary...)

Looks good. This first level should be set at the fastest b/c it took me near 50 lives to get it down(any faster might make it impossible). Also, the music makes it difficult to get in rhythm, but i like the sound of the explosions, so the music switch should be your next priority for test(please! :) )

Just wondering, did you ever consider doing an intermediate bound practice?



None.

Maybe that will be v3? who knows?
Maybe v1.5? after v2? Maybe I can't count.
Maybe I like rape.

Ok, I'll add the music switch.
I already meant to, but I realized it once I posted it.

I'm glad that qualifies as very hard difficulty because that's what I was shooting for.

I think it's a general rule of thumb to not make pro bounds if you're not a pro... pros will be guaranteed not to like them because you really have no appreciation for how difficult different timings are and how to set up the obstacles in a non-annoying fashion. But ya, go for slightly more difficult :)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[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.

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:
