    So I started making this site because I found it difficult to find a single central resource for build orders, without having to trawl through forum posts or watch videos which dont always make the build order apparent.

    http://www.starcraft2buildorder.net/

    Its very much work in progress, I haven't gotten around to making a design yet, but it all essentially works.

    Anyone care to get the ball rolling and add some? Also any feedback is much appreciated :)

    The totals aren't calculated right. But I like your to-do list and that you strive for clarity. I'm not sure if it'll help you but you might want to check out this thread.

    Good luck with the site. It has great potential.

    Okay so kuvasz is right about the Totals

    i noticed in some of your build orders... they seem kinda confusing... for example if you had a zerg opening when you build your spawning pool you loose your drone and that gives you 1 less suply but that was not right in the zerg openings i saw.... it was like:
    Drone - 15/19
    Spawning Pool - 15/19
    Drone - 16/19

    so when you build the spawning pool the suply should go down with 1 suply cause of the lost drone
    (actually this buildorder looks like a 15 pool even though it says 14 pool... so thats the point) :p
    you probably allready knew that but i just wanted to make myself clear for your sake ^^

    oh and another thing is that zerg does not start with 11 suply like the imba terran the only start with 10 suply
    (2 for the hatchery and 8 for the overlord) i know i've allready said that in a comment at one of the build orders but i just wanted to make sure you heard it....

    Thanks for the praise :) Yeah I think some of the costs + parents of various buildings / units / upgrades I got from another fansite were wrong :( going to go back over them tomorrow

    Anyways so far tonight I have added fields to allow youtube + screplays, added notes, comments, and also a like button. tweaked a few other bits, so its coming along :)

    anymore ideas and bug fixes let me know!

    a thing indicating what this strat is good against ( race wise would be good ) also a weakness area would also be nice

    Hmm, I have built in drone building decreasing the cupply, as well as starting at 10 instead of 11 already, this should be working. Can you let me know exactly what you are clicking to make it not work?

    I figured tags could be used to be flexible, so if you used the tag 'vs zerg', then you could view all ones of that tag, and this functionality is already in place. Also weaknesses could be added to notes?

    Ahh I see what you mean now, on the actual build order view page, not submit, will fix asap :)

    And would be awesome if people could start posting a few build orders up there, its looking a bit empty at the mo :p Also looking for some people to help me build the community, obviously as its community driven will need some kind of moderators and stuff

    Definitely looks like it would be beneficial. Did you do it using PHP or is it all static coding?

    Did it all in PHP, with some javascript to make it all work nicely (especially with the build order calculator) :)

    Also currently working on an 'undo' feature for the build order submission, the ability to swap tech labs between barracks / factories / starports (which in turn effects the current unlocked items), and also doing a mass update of all the in game mechanic stats such as costs, tech tree, and adding all upgrades too.

    These should be finished soon, then its onto the design which I have part way done. Will make the site look a bit more finished :)

    Awesome! Haven't rolled them out to the live site yet, but tech lab swapping now fully works, as does the undo feature. Slight bug when you multiple undo multiple techlab swaps, but I know how to fix that and will fix it 2moz. Then when its done I will update the live version :)

    Just updated the site with updated stats, all upgrades now work, and also you can 'undo' and swap techlabs between buildings as Terran.

    Have been working on a proper web design, hoping to put that up soon!

    New design is now complete!! :D Have also improved navigation, added a few pointers and instructions, embedded a youtube video if there is one available (see http://www.starcraft2buildorder.net/build-orders/zerg/7-roach-rush.html ), and made the build order generator a bit easier to use.

    Please let me know what you think, and feel free to add some builds of your own :)

    Check out this Terran Build Order. Fairly standard but I tend to use them every time and they work!!!
