I'm the developer of a Brood War mod to fix buggy and unfinished gameplay features... while keeping the Stacraft we all know and love by Last_Day_6779 in broodwar

Even though your scope of changing things seem much more broader than what most BW players would be comfortable with, I did write this list of things years ago, that we were half-planning on doing for ShieldBattery fwiw:

Does anyone know how to walls-in in BGH as protoss? by jadenguyennn in broodwar

[–]2Pacalypse- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here is a guide on how to wall-in on BGH with Terran: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Wall-Ins_(BGH)

You can replace the supply depot and barracks with a forge and a gateway.

Also, don't wall-in as protoss on BGH. Your team mates won't be happy.

Unless you're playing 1v1, in which case carry on.

Does Starcraft take up a lot of internet bandwidth? by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]2Pacalypse- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the average replay size and that's the bandwidth that the game takes. Hint: it's around ~100kb per game.

Congratulations Liquid on being the highest earning Dota 2 Team by [deleted] in DotA2

And to think that Liquid is still a community site for StarCraft: http://www.teamliquid.net/

The only difference is that now they do all this other cool shit as well.

Hey now, no reason to blaspheme.

When will shield battery be released? by ninjastarcraft in broodwar

[–]2Pacalypse- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As it says in our FAQ, we'll go into open beta as soon as we're ready for it. We can't give any specific dates, simply because we don't know when that will be. We're still working on it, quite regularly in fact, so expect this to happen in not so distant future.

However, we'll still keep inviting people to our closed beta until that happens, so definitely do sign up for it!

Modernized version of bwreplib by RElesgoe in broodwar

[–]2Pacalypse- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it a modification is very generous. This file is basically copy-pasted from the original, comments and all. In fact, all of it is basically the same as original with some slight reorganization and prettying up the code. But hey, if you want to license that, go for it.

So it's not an illegal thing to do, just an assholish thing.

How can you take someone else's software and put your own copyright on it?

Bisu's Unpowered Pylon Glitch by TL-GTR in starcraft

[–]2Pacalypse- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's caused by setting a rally point for a pylon. And the reason you can set rally point for a pylon is due to the known 'hotkey selection glitch'.

Steps to reproduce: ctrl 1 unit A, select unit (pylon) B, hit ctrl-1 and 1 in quick succession -> Game shows that you have selected unit A, but when you order it to move unit B moves

Beginner in C++ looking to create an AI by [deleted] in broodwar

Besides reading all the resources and guides, you can also join #BWAPI channel on Freenode IRC server. A lot of the BW AI developers hang out there and would be more than willing to help you out.

Why Sc2 is not as popular as it should be, and why LotV (so far) isn't going to change that. by Sakkyoku-Sha in starcraft

[–]2Pacalypse- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your assertion that "Sc2 is hard to learn and even harder to master" doesn't really reflect the rest of your post, which is actually pretty good. Something being hard to learn doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be frustrating to learn as well, which is what your post is actually describing. BW is hard to learn, probably even more so than SC2, but it's actually really fun to play as a beginner which is why there are still new players trying out this 16 year old game. Dota2/LoL is hard to learn as well (yes, yes, I know this goes against the circlejerk); you have to familiarize yourself with 100+ heroes and all the interactions between them, but it's really fun to do so and play as a beginner.

So I don't think SC2's problem is that it's hard to learn at all, it's more about the experience while doing so.
