Ruins of Tarsonis
Hello everyone, this is my attempt at recreating the third mission for the Terran campaign in Brood War. The overall layout of the map is similar to the original, however it is much more difficult than the original (which was a cakewalk) The objectives remain the same: Destroy the four Zerg hives and then bring Duran to the Psi-Disruptor. I am a novice when it comes to mapping and this is my first real attempt at making a map, so I'm sure there are definitely a few issues within this map, and some things that could use some polishing. So now that I finally have this map in a playable state, I would really appreciate any constructive criticism and comments on the map.
Ah, yeah I did use the test document function. I'll try it once the way you suggested and let you know.
Edit: Well, that was my plan anyway but the patch sort of delayed that. :)
Gemini19, What are you talking about? Did you just look at the map in the editor? For some reason, some of the vespene geysers don't show up in the editor. But I assure you they are there in game.
BendoverTW, are you saying the Zerg AI didn't attack you at all? They should be attacking you (and quite frequently at that...) Last time I checked, all the attack waves were working. However, I have heard that sometimes the AI''s attack waves will bug out and not work if you play the map via the "test document" function within the editor. Apparently you need to drag the map file onto the sc2 exe icon.
I beat it the first time playing it before you updated it. I think it's too easy because I don't even play terran and I didn't have much trouble at all. If you want to make it harder I would suggest fewer starting resources and have the zerg attack. I was just able to chill out and pretty much max up without worrying about anything at all.
No gas at your main? lol?
Okay, thanks for the feedback. In the latest version, the problem with the objective repeating over and over should be fixed now... along with a few other minor bugs I found; I also added the "black mask" fog of war for unexplored areas. Once again, thanks for the feedback. Though did anyone actually beat the map? How is it in terms of difficulty?
Good fun, but a few things got my attention:
Overall, Very fun map, at least for those who want a good challenge; I would love to see you challenge'up Some other Brood War/Original missions.
Problem. After I destroyed all of the hives the objective to bring Duran tot he Psi interruptor kept repeating ALOT! Might wanna fix that :P
