Yeah I managed to add some europeans.
I rushed with roaches ( ZvsT ) the guy who invited me and who has over 200 games and managed to win.
I experienced and read that most games in lower skill levels end pretty quickly with the first battle deciding the winner. Feels a bit strange, especially if you have a WC3 melee background.
Zerg can cover the map with burrowed creep tumors, giving them free vision until destroyed.
It also has some annoying micro sinks like queens and chrono boost. Especially queens.

No Cross-Realm support and apparently there isn't going to be any in Live ether. Blizz are tards for that IMO.

They said it is something they plan to work towards in the future but they don't believe it to be an immediate concern.

From what I understand your b-net account is set to a certain location on creation and that is the realm you play on in SC2

It won't be out for release Dekar. I don't even know if they've confirmed for after release.
I know that region is tied to the Launcher, so if you get a US BNet account (us.battle.net) you can force a SC2 CD key onto it and then DL the client from your account to get onto the NA server.

You should just mail Blizz and tell them you made EotA, the one map from the hall of fame and you would like to make quality SC2 maps and therefore you require access to the beta.

Yak, give us the Witching Hour map unprotected so we can port it to SC2!
Or just to make it compatible with the latest patch to take a last look at it.
Or just to give me a way to get the map without asking around.

Sure why not, I think this is the right file
The errors are probably all the hashtable crap that I had to do for EotA. I'm not sure how hard converting it would be.

Awesome!
edit: It uses several handle functions which got banned and not replaced by Blizz.
or ...
lol you cast regions to units and back D:
thats impossible to fix
editeditedit: used a version switcher to go back to 1.20e and im playing witching hour right now!

Its fixable, just make an array of regions and store the index of the region instead.

Fine. Here is a partly fixed version.
Works:
-It loads.
-You can move around with the start hack I added ( removes black screen ).
-Patrols.
-Building fadeout.
Doesnt work:
-Unit interactions like getting attacked for killing someone.
-Checking corpse infos.
-Screen stays black without start hack. A trigger may get stuck somewhere.
Code: Select all
function GetUnitById takes string major, string s returns unit
return LoadUnitHandle(hash, StringHash(major), StringHash(s))
endfunction
function GetItemById takes string major, string s returns item
return LoadItemHandle(hash, StringHash(major), StringHash(s))
endfunction
I never changed any other trigger to store a handle inside there, so the item scry and blood stuff should be broken because of it.

Not that it was ever used.
