Two pretty basic questions but I still haven't worked out how to do them yet >(
Firstly, my map has 8 players, but when I play the map with other players and there are less than 8 players it fills in the extra spots in-game with computer players even though they are not selected in the game lobby.
Secondly, I have fixed the player colors in the player preferences but in the lobby you can choose your color and in game they are not fixed.
Its probably really simple stuff in the player preferences but I cant seem to get it to work in game =<
Is this a custom game or just a regular multiplayer melee map? Because if it's a custom mod and you spawn players via a trigger, then it could be any number of issues.
If it's just a default option melee map, look under Map -> Player Properties. Make sure that everything is setup properly in there for users.
Since there is no question in 1) I'm assuming you don't want to have computer if the slot is empty. When creating those structure and units, check if the player is a user. If not, don't create them.
Colors can be fixed in Game Variants (Next to player property). Check Ubdead's tutorial about that, very useful http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/5486-lobby-game-modes-the-complete-guide-reference/

its a custom game, I have some units which are already on the map from the beginning and some units which spawn so is it likely to be a trigger issue?
Edit: nvm I need to fix something, thanks for the link =p
