The floating text over that building.. is that a FT feature only? I'm 100% interested in using that in my nuke map.. all credit goes to you of course =P

Yeah its Frozen throne only. The downside of it is that it creates the text not above the center of the unit, but a little to the right. What I did is create a ghost unit that you cant see, a little left to the character you want it to show over, and display it over the ghost character. Nifty :D

Please discuss this in other threads :(


Hey, I just thought of this. If a unprotector added those files into it again? Would be real simple too make, I'm not a programmer though.

Also, the pic in your sig, the units looks HUGE (like scale 6.0) Am i right or is it zoomed in or what? emote_confused

You cant add the files again, theyre map specific, you cant guess the triggers.

The naga are too big, illidan is the final monster so hes supposed to be big. Other than that the units are small. I forgot to descale the naga (they summon in groups of 6 so they need a size nerf)

And the observatory is still of the lowest level. Screenshot was made in a set scenario =)

Hey, 2 ideas about EQ.. make it a 1 shot spell, or make it have 1 1/2 times more area then meteor, and make it have a longer cooldown then meteor... just a thought cause EQ is unbalanced

Doesn't stop them from stealing the credit though, although most people don't steal a map without changing it anyway and your version will probably remain more popular than the stolen version because it was released first and more widely distributed too so people will still know you made it. I don't recall ever seeing a stolen map which wasn't protected to begin with so my guess is that the kind of people who like to steal maps don't know where to get unprotectors or don't know they exist.

WHAT THE ****!? I'm going to call the SWAT team to take care of you :D

If that doesn't work, I'll hire lawyers to sue you, although that would cost more than 100 bucks :bgrun:
