Hello,

i tried to use the upload insctructions, but it still doesn't work. I opened the map in the editor, chose a new Mapname and Author than given, published it with the locked option and uploaded it. But I still don't see this map in my SC2 game...

How can i make it work?

Is it forbidden to choose an other mapname and author, because the map is not from me? I read something about copyrights and that I could get problems. Did I hurt the copyrights of the creator of the map, by uploading it with an other Author and Mapname?

Edit: I found your map on the battle.net and so deleted my publishing of your map!

I finally got localization to work; it was my error.

In the sc2Editor menu, under Map > Map Info... :

I clicked on the "copy to all locales" button before publishing, and it worked!

And yeah, localized menu item names are still not working for me; I still see Param/Value/E5032B142 or the like for each menu item. =( Thanks for trying to fix it though!

It's not a huge deal since it works fine when I test the document, so I can just memorize what each menu item name is.

This is what I do (in the US) to upload the map onto battle.net so I can test with it there:

1. Load up Hard Counter v5.8 in the editor.
2. Go to Map menu > Map Info
3. Add a name and author
4. Go to File menu > Publish
5. Choose either locked or unlocked
6. Click "Use for All Locales"

And now it should be ready to publish.

I like the map layout changes for 5.8. Automove is fine as is IMO.

Still can't upload. Thanks for trying the localization, but didn't make a difference for me. I tried several different versions, all with no luck and the same error. Tried opening, saving, etc without luck

Anyone out there in the US that can upload?

i want to keep this map slim, not more buttons than needed. if you want to deselect your units, click on the destructible rocks. but thats a bit annoying, i see. i for myself always control one side. i will think about it...

Thanks for fixing the colorproblem.

Wouldn't it be better to make two "automove on" buttons? Since it doesen't seem to be possible to fully deselect all units, I always have to start an attack, stop attack, and start it again to get both teams moving.

The color problem just occurs when you choose blue, because player 2 standard is also blue. I fixed this now.

The possibility to control units in fight during automove is intended as JJK73 pointed out.

The upload error on US: I have no clue. Maybe you can open the map with the editor, save it, open it again and publish it then? Or try older versions of HC? It works fine on EU, so maybe there is a problem with localization. I will run the SC2Localizer and upload HC v5.8 localized. Please try this version. Would be nice if you can publish HC in the states.

I don't have any of the color problems playing solo. Also, I like that you can take control of one side and not have them auto-attack when you select a given side - that's what lets you practice some different micro techniques. If you want the 2 sides to just bash into each other, then don't select either side. I don't consider this a bug, I think it's intended.

I still can't upload this for us on US servers - same error "Document does not have a name set".

I keep hoping that one of these days it will get worked out. Thanks for your continued support of this map Dingoo.
