NOTE: Only Terran is working in this version! Next Version: Protoss! Hey there guys! Hato here. I'm here to announce that the beta of the Starcraft Strategy Creator is now avaliable for download. Any bugs that you find in the Creator, please post here! Known Bugs: *The Creator closes after closing all windows. *When you open the Unit Viewer, the image appears as a X until you click a unit. *There is no way to re-open a window if you have closed it. (Not a bug, but) *You are currently not able to save/load your files. Sorry! All of these will be fixed for the next version of the beta! Please post PROS and CONS here. If there is complaning, your post will be deleted. Along with this, also post what improvements you think could be made! Things that I NEED: A .ico file for the Creator - you will be credited! A background image for the editor - it looks very plain and boring at the moment. DOWNLOAD LINK: http://files.filefront.com/Starcraft+Strategy+Creatorrar/;11744149;/fileinfo.html Quick FAQ: Q: I can't open the creator! What gives? A: You need to (at least, i'm pretty sure) have Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.0! Link is below. Q: The images for the unit viewer aren't showing. Why not? A: At the moment, you must have the folder located in your C: folder. If not, the images won't show! If you are still having problems, post and I will get back to your ASAP. .NET Framework 3.0: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...5D-B255-4425-9E65-1E88A0BDB72A&displaylang=en Enjoy! - Hato
Great job! We'll get rolling with the graphics soon. I will take a closer look at this later tonight.
.ICO, here I come! ...now I just gotta see if I can save a .pdn as .ico! ...After clicking on Advanced Step the new window pops up, then when I go back to the main menu, the new window continues to be up. Once I try to interact with the still-open Advanced Step window, an error occurs. <.< I know why, but you don't want programming help.
Do you mean the Main Menu where it says e-mail me for bugs (Which is likely what I am guessing), or the menu that shows your strategy? I tested both, and got no error message. Post the error as well, please. Along with this if possible, please show a screenshot! =)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zeaaifaaaja .ico, download it there, then have a look at it. as for the error, expect it edited in to this post, or in a reply if somebody else posts before i get all the information gathered. EDIT: Attached file is the screenshot. Here are the steps to create the error: 1. Run the program. 2. Create a new strategy, and name it. 3. Open up the Advanced Step window. 4. On the normal strategy window, choose "Return to Main Menu". 5. With the still open Advanced Step window, attempt to create an advanced step. 6. Error.
Ah. You see, the reason it's erroring is simply because you can't use "Number" as an Integer. What i'm saying is that you can't type letters into that box, it has to be numbers. I will make it so that you can't type letters in those boxes. Note: I will make it so that you cannot type letters, and release a newer version in a few days, fixing a few of these errors (Once people find more, hopefully they do not..) Note 2: Eat, I love that Icon. Thanks man, you will be credited for it. - Hato
Oh... I thought I had done something... hmm... well aesthetically I still think that window should close, since you closed it's parent window.
Ok. For the fix in a few days, I will do the following: *Close the windows for the strategy editing when you click "Return to Main Menu" *Make it so that you can only type numbers in the "Number" box. =D
I was wondering what programming language you were using, so that I could look in to a Starcraft Trigger Creator using that language. I already have some basic layout shtuff for it.
By Trigger Creator, you mean for the Map Editor? . I use Visual Basic - extremely simple and powerful. People who use it tend to get bothered, which is why I don't like mentioning it, haha. Nontheless, there you go. Later on (Likely SC2's creator), will be in C++.
What do you use to program in visual basic? Where can I get this program, and is it free? With the strategy creator, will the source code be available to people who want to create mods, plugins, or associate other programs with it? Or will that be a more personal thing where the other must contact you first? Also, will the strategy creator be made to monitor your build in real-time, and test if you have surpassed estimated mineral/gas/population limits?
In answer to all of your fantastic questions... You can get Visual Basic Express Edition 2008 from Microsoft's page, which is what I use to program. (Look it up on Google!) The source code will likely NOT be avaliable to anyone without personally messaging me first. Even then, the mod would have to be a good idea before I would run you through the code, . In a later version of the strategy creator, there will be a Mineral count/Vespene count, as well as the food limit.
Sorry for the stupid question, but... what is this strategy creator about exactly? Isn't there any way to have some screenshots, just to sample how it looks like? EDIT: found the original topic: http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5527
Release for the two fixes that I mentioned will be on Sunday: Download link will be on the first post. =)
