StarCraft: Vile Egression [Completed]

[Laconius]

All my naysaying aside that's cool as hell.

Wow, surprising comeback.  Thanks.

Which editor are you using?

I scribble up terrain w/ X-Tra editor, along with whatever other work I can stuff into a map.  After all that's done, I send it off to be manhandled by SCMDraft.

Wow. I must admit that's one of the best boss battles I've seen. It's a simple, yet challenging. I also like the 'Demistify Fog' idea. It's a new and interesting addition for the battle. I applaud your work on this project, well done.

About the new wireframes, I don't know if you should keep them like this. I mean, they're cool, but a bit confusing too. It's difficult to see when are your units' HP damaged if the wireframe is always glowing like that (specially if you select large groups of units. That'll be very annoying, as your troops will be killed without you even noticing that!).

Also, a question. How do you manage to change the text colors like this? I know how to add the more classical colors (light blue, red, green, white, etc...) but the new ones you add like orange, tan,... I don't know how to add them (I've already tested with the options available at SCMDraft).

Is that StarEdit Assistant the really old transmission timer?

If by transmission timer you mean text alignment and whatnot, then yar.

I'm not sure as to why you couldn't find the varied text color editor in SCMDraft.  Are you using the latest version?  Because here's what mine looks like:

Yeah, it looks so to me. The problem isn't that. The problem is that when I want to write an orange text (I'd need to write EXAMPLE), the entire text turns invisible in the game. That happens too with all the colors different from red, yellow, normal/light green, light blue, white, gray and invisible (the ones which appears in X-tra Editor). It seems like the game isn't able to read the new colors, but I don't know why...

Hmm, that's really strange.  I recall Revan having a similar problem during the previous contest, but I'm not sure if he was able to end up fixing it.  As for me, I put space gaps between the color code and its respective text; take a look:

Maybe you could try that and see if it works.  If not, why don't you send me a PM w/ more details and I can help you out there.

OK, I'm going to try that right now. I hope it works...

IMO, I don't think the music fits.  I mean, it's great music for a boss battle, but it just doesn't fit when you're playing as the Protoss.

[Mucky]

The music at the beginning of the Mithras fight immediately made me think of the horrid Bleach movie. And it made me very angry.

[Laconius]

Some of the bleach soundtracks are amazing.  As for the direction the anime is progressing... 

[Mucky]

"Oh man, I'm really gonna die. I've already used my trump card that increased my power level over 9000. What should I do? Perhaps this could be the opportunity I was looking for to get stronger. Or maybe...

I know! I'll hold my sword with BOTH OF MY HANDS." Viewers proceed to bang their heads on the wall.

Getting back on topic, this looks really interesting, although I kind of wish you wouldn't have revealed an entire boss fight.

Yeah, normally I wouldn't have revealed something of this caliber.  However, the rules state that contestants get points for updates and whatnot, so I post whatever teasers I can in order to improve my overall score.

EDIT:  Actually, you're right.  I'm going to take down the original vid and re-attach a shorter version.  Thanks for your observation.

[Lavarinth]

Updates don't require you to reveal to us your entire gameplay

[Laconius]

Yeah... I'll keep it short and simple from now on. 

[omega20]

So, you updated a shorter version of the video. And you changed the main boss music track, as I can see...
