Regarding bounds

[drax]

It seems like no one plays them anymore, and the ones they do play are too easy. I have considered making a bound (I haven't made one for over a year), but something is up with my internet connection and I lag when there is more than 2 people in a game

Also, do I have to make the triggers in Xtra Editor and then make the terrain in StarForge?

You can make both in starforge - just the triggers are a bit trickier.

Trickier?

They're much easier because you can copy and paste.

you can copy shit in scxe... I prefer scxe for triggers, but if you get good at knowing the triggers in sf2, then you might want to make them there.

At least that way any things that cant be done in scxe (stacked units, unit colors, etc.)

StarForge would be fine, SCMD would be fine. There's a new plug-in that gives SCMD a trigger editor like SCXE, so you could use whatever you're comfortable with.

sup LoN! didn't know you were a member here

i use scmdraft for tilest because it's less buggier, and xtra for triggers

Sup FaLLEN, how you doing? I didn't know you came here either.

SCM Draft is better for terrain in my opinion because it can place isometric terrain well, but even with the copy and paste feature, I find StarForge's ability to save brushed invaluable.

The Classic TrigEdit plug-in seems to be pretty cool like normal trigger editing, save for tha fact you can't rename switches yet.

meh, i'm finding new forums since scindex is pretty much dead

and starforge's terrain edit sometimes makes the makes very corrupt, i tried once, nobody could download it, it was weird

starforge's brush mode is the shit... perfect for using the pic mapper and saving your text made in photoshop as a pic, then uploading it and copying it as a brush... you can paste it in your map w/o any trouble...

for things are a repeating thing, such as backgrounds and borders, the brush saves assloads of time...

i think most dont play boudns any more b/c
1-sounds = big map no one wants to wait to dl
2-hyper triggers almsot made boudns now impossible

I disagree. In my opinion it's much easier to save a buch a bunch of different brushes and load them in StarForge, but that's what I'm used to.

Ok, so triggers work ok in Starforge?

Better than ok.

did you even read my post? I said that starforge's brushing is the shit... not shit...

 

[IceDevil9]

Oh my god, I remember the day, like two or three years ago, when I used to play SC, and bounds were the shit, every single game was a bound. Level up bound was awesome, the highest I got up to with a group of four people was lvl 88, we had a Save Game and all. I tried making a WC bound, but it wasn't the same. :'(

I don't know what you mean, I'm assuming it's an expression then? Sorry for misunderstanding but I don't quite get what you mean.
