Okay guys, this is real stuff :omfg:
A friend and me are doing a map face-off.
He did this because he's a cool guy and he wants to motivate me to finish my famous D2 map :P
We determined that we can each have a partner.

Just to get you in: he told me he would do an epic RPG which would be pretty much like CD (Crescent Dyne RPG) as long as I would work on my map.
Since the only thing I want my partner (so far) to do is terrain, I'd like to ask to stickynote, but if anyone has played D2 before (and is good at terraining) and would like to participate to this, just ask :D
Well... that's it!
Thanks for interests! :)

I think the biggest problem with the terrain you've made, is that you try to hold to the actual game too hard, I think you need to contort it to SC somehow, you can't completely imitate the game, it just looks bad.

As I always tell people, I'm open on MSN and on SEN for help, but I won't directly help in the map, hope you find a partner.

If you guys are decent mapmakers ill aid you in the challenge. I want to know that you guys are on the same level as me though, if not higher. Lethal is a hell of a challenge XD

My anonymoose friend is ZE best triggerer. No way I can beat him on that point.
But, the judges of our result will have to take in consideration the skills of each creator so, he = oo (infinite) which means ME WIN :)
And I don't know how to prove my skills in triggering...
I, so far, posted only one map: Town Wars v4 :O
I did many errors in it and I learned much from it.
But still, I know some "advanced" map making stuff such as mobile grids and that kind of stuff which aren't considered as "advanced" in this community any more ;P.

Yeah, but at the same time, it doesn't truly matter how good of a triggerer you are, as long as you have a good idea that you can make work, some of the funnest maps out there are not very well triggered, they just have awesome ideas that made them so enjoyable.

I don't think I have the time to partner with you.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
