[a@...]

It's finally out, and these are the changes that have been made.
Take a look.

- patch 1.12


New Features

- Changed Speed from "Fast" to Fastest" for Ladder Games.

- You now can preview your map in the Multiplayer chat screen.

- Added feature that allows the creator of a private Battle.net game to make
the game public under the creator's name in Multiplayer Chat screen.

- Added full Korean language support for Battle.net and in-game.

- Added a Friends List Feature and button that allows you to keep track of your
friends on Battle.net.

- Added Password Recovery and email registration features (like Warcraft 3 and
Diablo 2) so you can recover your password via email.

- Added Friend mail feature that enables you to email your friends.

** Please go to www.battle.net/mail for more information on Battle.net mail
and password recovery features.

- Changed the default race type in single custom games to Random.

- It now remembers your last map and folder setting when you create single or
multi player games.

- Brood War will now show 'maps\BroodWar' folder as your default map folder.

- When a building is selected and if a ground rally point is set the rally
point will briefly animate.

- Added minimap ping (Alt-left-click on minimap to show graphic location.)

- Added alliance colors on units - Shift-Tab changes your color to green,
your allies to yellow and your enemies to red.

- Added right-click feature that will set your building rally point.

- Added shift-# to add a unit to a control group.

- The mouse cursor stays on the game's monitor in multi-monitor environments.

Updated Maps

- Lost Temple has been updated, while Dire Straits and Rivarly have been
slightly tweaked to balance resources and space for building.

- All maps have been resigned. If you have moved standard maps to different
folders you must do so again. If you have maps downloaded from our FTP
site you must do so again.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed bug related to seeing Question marks instead of Korean characters
when using /where command in battle.net

- Fixed a bug that hindered Korean text in Battle.net chatrooms and game
advertisements.

Unlike 1.10, which was a good patch.
This one will finally help with chat-support.

 

[a@...]

Everything's fine, but I find right-clicking really irritating.

 

[Wing Zero]

i fidn the buttons a little noob

 

[Master.America]

Shift+# to add a unit to a control group--I like that.

 

[raDixGhost]

Maybe i havent gotten used to the new environment but i find that rally point thing really really annoying.

Are you high? that is one of the reasons I couldn't go back to SC after War III. Rallypoints were so crap in SC before that.

 

[betaalpha5]

umm so what do you guys think about the new patch? better or worse?

 

[G37Z]

i think the new stuff is great

 

[betaalpha5]

well 2 things that i not sure about

what do they mean be right click for rally point, i mean we press r for a reason.

if we can press shift- tab to change color it's only on the mini map right?

 

[Wing Zero]

and the sift number isnt that already done?
i dont mind the patch just the extra buton liekthe firend

 

[₪Zeratul₪]

I suppose they now can spend their times on more grand things.
E.G. SC ghost, and SC 2?

*crosses fingers*

We can only hope.

 

[RyanXWing]

I don't get these:
-You now can preview your map in the Multiplayer chat screen.
-Added feature that allows the creator of a private Battle.net game to make the game public under the creator's name in Multiplayer Chat screen.
-The mouse cursor stays on the game's monitor in multi-monitor environments.

I hate:
-Brood War will now show 'maps\BroodWar' folder as your default map folder.

You don't "get" them? As in, not understand? @_@

1. You can preview the map. It's a bit self explanatory. You just put your cursor over the "preview map" and an image of the map pops up. (*Note - THis only works in TVB and Melee, not UMS) ;0

2. Also pretty obvious. Similar to how you can kick/ban players, the host can click on his own name and switch a game over to public. (I am supposing it just removed the password?)

3. I would guess if you have more than one monitor...?

I hate:
-Brood War will now show 'maps\BroodWar' folder as your default map folder.

Meh.. I dont know if I like how it will go to the folder that you last chose from. I kinda liked it to go back to the "index".

Everything will jsut take some getting use to. I definantly like the patch. Password recovery and the friends list, not to mention the ladder, are all pretty awesome. These changes should put a little life back into SC. ^^;

 

[Master.America]

A little life, perhaps.

I still think they should have made it possible to select multiple buildings of the same type. I mean come on, that would be just awesome.

 

[coRtALoS]

Oh yeah its fine yeah EXCEPT THE DELAYED THE MAC VERSION OF IT AND NOW I CAN EVEN PLAY SC

Reason #45931 to NOT buy a Mac. Ahahahahaha.

I'm dissapointed the preview doesn't work for UMS, but definately love the minimap pinging.

But other than that, it's really pretty much the same game. Definately a good morale boost for us though, knowing Blizzard hasn't altogether forgotten about their greatest game ever.

 

[G37Z]

lol yea, cut the time to create units in half...slelect mass and click boom all buildings make unit at same time ^^

 

[betaalpha5]

what does the ping thing do?
