How do you change the models offset? I put some planets in there and they're just waaay off the side, while the game registers them as somewhere else. It's causing more then a few problems.
Double post simply because I don't want would-be helpers to read my edits, think all is hunky-dory, and not see this. But, while those planet models are good... there's no gas giants. So my request still stands, just now it's for a gas giant instead of the others.
Edit: Hmm, hit a bit of a snag. The planet icon models are weird, set at weird angles. When I scale them up (and they require a lot of scaling up), the selection circle is MASSIVE, and the planets don't sit in the center of it. So not only is the selection circle as big as an xbox, but the planet sits on the rim of it. Any idea how to fix this?
At the bare minimum, three. A terrestrial planet, a barren planet, and a gas giant. Tinting can take it from there. Idealy, one for all the various types of planets. Terrestrial, desert, barren(moon) ect ect ect. But if you can just make me those three, I'd be eternally grateful, and you'd get credit in mah map lol.
if I lower the units visibility, but keep their weapon longer range, it won't work if they have a spotter... still be able to shoot through walls.
if I lower the weapon range, I would have to do it for all units... and that's not exactly viable for my tank units. I want tanks to be sitting farther back, but still require line of sight to shoot... if I have a spotter currently, tank can shoot through up to 2 walls depending on wall placement / width, you know?
It's probably possible, maybe not in the way described. But I mean, maybe there's a way to make a doodad make it so you can't attack an enemy on the other side. Like your unit simply wont attack. The galaxy editor is a pretty robust editor, and I have yet to see something as "impossible" unless Blizzard specifically designed it to be impossible.
Oh-hey, someone replied. But no, as you can see by the tumble-weed, nobody ever responded. It still astounds me how there aren't any planet-models out there. I mean it's a sci-fi game with space, yet no planets. At present our only options is the 76 planet pack, where you can only use a single texture on your map. Or the wow planet pack, where the planets are covered with tacky 2d graphics like lightning and 2d moons that orbit them.
I really do wanna see planets like those on WC3, just spheres with planet textures, maybe rotating clouds. Nothing fancy, just something to convey 'hey, it's a planet'.
I wonder what it is that you read when you see what others type, because typically your replies don't even seem to correlate to what you're quoting. I'll make it real simple so that you can't possibly misunderstand me.
It is stupid to have a hobby that you don't enjoy.
If you do not enjoy mapping, then don't.
Considering I wasn't the first to call you out, it isn't just me. Either you're not conveying your thoughts, or you're changing them after getting caught. Because when I look back at to page one, I can see others responding before I did. All you're doing now is saying what we've been saying since the start, glad you finally agree.
Actually the OP's right. In the past he'd be wrong, because in the past the editor WAS a bonus. But in SC2 they've intricately tied the editor to the game, forcing you to activate it via your account. The editor is no longer simply a bonus for the community, they made it a key part of the game. They can't go and make it a part of the game, and then refuse to support it. So I agree with the OP, that's pretty bullshit. If they didn't wanna support it, they shoulda left it more open like in the past. I mean on WC3 we had third party editors, we had options, so it was acceptable for Blizzard not to support it. But on SC2 we'll never have third party editors, we'll never have options, least they could do is support the product they force us to use.
No, what I'm saying is that you should do what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy making maps, then you may as well quit now because you're here for the wrong reasons. This isn't a job. It's a hobby at best and a game at worst. If you don't enjoy it, then what are you doing it for? If you do enjoy it, then what difference does the popularity system make to your map making hobby?
Yeah, the popularity system sucks. Been hearing this since June and by now it's a case of deal with it or sod off. No, that isn't defending the popularity system. That's me telling you to play the hand you're dealt.
Now see, you're changing your tune, either that or you're not very good at expressing yourself. Since the start of this thread you've been saying "you only want e-fame so either map for the right reason (my reason) or leave". I, and others, have been telling you that we're here to map for whatever reason we choose, and it's not JUST about creating, but also playing what we create. You've argued against this fact, you're the one saying it doesn't matter why we enjoy mapping, all that matters is we enjoy it the way you do, otherwise we're in the wrong.
As for hearing about the pop system sucking, if you've been hearing that it sucks for SO long, maybe that's saying something. Why should we deal with it? Why should we "play the hand we're dealt"? God, can you imagine where society would be if everyone played by those rules? Nothing ever changed from sitting around doing nothing, atleast bitching about the system keeps the notion alive, makes sure NOBODY forgets how horrible the system is. Because as soon as we all accept it, and deal with it, we'll grow accustomed to it and it will never change. The day we stop spamming various forums with hate threads is the day the system is cemented in place, and will never be fixed.
In the end, this thread started out as a map maker informing the community he was done, and you telling him he was wrong for leaving a shitty system behind, and me (and others) calling you out on that. It's gone off-topic at this point, but that's what it all boils down to. You tried to make Bounty seem like the bad-guy for leaving, for not sticking by Blizzard despite Blizzard endlessly screwing us over, and some of us just don't like that very much.
Quote someone defending the popularity system in this thread. I don't know what you are reading here, but it isn't what the rest of us are.
You're defending it by saying we owe Blizzard, and we're obligated to stick it out. How many posts have you made "just continue making maps and wait for Blizzard". You may not be directly defending the Popularity system in this thread, but you're indirectly defending it by saying we should stick it out instead of ditch it. Sticking it out isn't gonna get the system fixed, so why should we bother? If we don't get enjoyment out of producing something that'll never get used, why aren't we allowed to quit and move onto a system that isn't shit?
You don't have to go "The popularity system is AWESOME!" to be defending it, you can defend it through other means, which is what you're doing.
Colt seriously, If you hate stupidity....... I consider people whining about something for over 2 weeks stupid... sorry had to throw that out there.
BTW when Colt start complaining about the pop system on a topic... I think its time to close the topic.
Either way, good luck Bounty, hopefully well see some new projects come for you in the future. Till then good luck with what ever else you put your time in to.
What you consider stupid is kind of irrelevant, don'tchya think? I don't exactly conduct myself according to what other people find appropriate, just what I find appropriate. And I find defending such a broken system to be stupid, not to be arguing against it.
Colt556, less aggression and more constructive posts please;p
No offence, but you tend to rant like a lunatic all the time when it comes to the popularity system. Take a deep breath , Calm down, and be sensible. Calling people idiots and retards is uncalled for. Fix your attitude please. It reeks of bitterness and hostility, which is not welcome on this site.
My post WAS full of hostility... not so much bitterness. I hate stupidity in any shape or form, and people going around saying we have to stick it out, it's our obligation to wait for Blizzard to fix it's shit pisses me off. Everything about the popularity system pisses me off, and the fact that people are so ready to defend it pisses me off. I waited for over a decade to get this game, only to have Blizzard fuck me over at the last second with this shit, so yeah, whenever it's brought up I get mad. And people being exceptionally retarded only makes that anger more predominant. But since you're a mod, and I can't exactly say "no", I'll try to tone it down.

Are they actual planets, though? I don't need icons or anything, I need full 3d spheres with a planet texture.
Edit: Huh... who knew, thanks for the tip, Programmer. If only I had known about these a week ago XD

Hence why I said "Not viable" lol

That's not exactly viable unfortunately.

I half agree with Zenx, the name is dumb, video was cool though. I liked the use of voices.
