Abducted! is a mini-mod I made. You start out with a UFO, which is your resource-gatherer. Cast the UFO's Abduct spell on a Civilian (they randomly spawn) to Abduct it, which gives you 10 minerals. (This is the only way to get minerals.) You can use these minerals to build Alien Greys (Tassadars) and Cybermechas (Dragoons). Both are built at the Energy Crystal (Pylon), which may not be built next to other Energy Crystals. Each Crystal provides 1 Psi. You may also build Laser Batteries (Photon Cannons), which cost 2 Psi but no Minerals.

Currently, the mod may only be played on one map, which is included. I will release more maps soon.

Hah. Looks interesting. Let's see if it's worthwhile. :P

Edit:

Only play Protoss. Terran has nothing, and Zerg crashes.
Has to be played on UMS. If Terran is chosen, game will end in defeat for said player.
Probes don't have any ability, but based off the triggers, you've replaced the 'gather' function with spawn broodlings, and remove broodlings to give 10 minerals.
I tried to add in a computer player, but that didn't work out too well.

Edit2:

Does anyone know how to mod trigs? I need them to be able to play on non-custom maps.



None.

Use PyTRIG to write the triggers, then click "Save as GOT compatible". Save it, then add it to your mod as triggers\melee.trg.

I hope you don't fail as much as your brother does.

Fix the tooltips. That is all.

Other then that, it was pretty fun.

EDIT:
Don't forget to remove the Vespene cost for the Aliens. Stats for the units should probably be changed a little, and... Eh, can't think of anymore at the moment. General balance issues, blah blah blah.

EDIT2:
By "fix the tooltips", I meant correct the hotkeys so that they don't conflict and so that they show the energy costs for spells. Lower Scan's energy cost.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
