Change Log

Release 8

Added All Campaign Units, Heroes & Structures

Bugfix: Ghost Academy Nukes restored properly
Creep Tumor Placement Footprint fixed
Bugfix: Mothership went missing (sorry), back now

Release 7

Bugfix: Supply Cost of units corrected
Bugfix: Burrowed Zerg units no longer partially ignored
Bugfix: Restored Unit Positions are more accurate
Restricted Flying Unit Movement to Current Area
Feature: Battle-mode minimal UI (replaced "Done" button; added Cycle Vision, Restore State and Army Value Reports)

Release 6

Structure Placement mode: Blocking Units are now pushed out of the way; Placement Grid visualization tweaked
Campaign Content added (Terran Units and Mercs), toggle display with checkbox

Release 5

Structure Placement mode: Now uses official "Placement Models" where applicable; Passability and Footprint Validity checks are now 100% accurate and use the same per-grid-square Placement check as the internal game code; Placement Grid visualization is "height-locked" to the structure ghost height; Structure Ghost movement is more snappy (instantaneous, no "blend");
Bug fix: Terran Bunker + Neosteel upgrade was not saving units occupying slots 5 & 6

Release 4

Structure Placement mode: Placement Grid Emulation improved (placement accuracy, bugfixes, help box added)
Structure Energy auto-filled, Ghost Academy Nuke auto-built

Release 3

Structure Placement mode: Placement Grid Emulation added (still not perfect, but better than Release 2)
Non-league upgrades removed (Viking - Jotun Boosters)

Release 2

Blizzard Patch 1.1 balance changes implemented early (except for build times)
Cycle Vision function added (cycles between Player 1, Player 2, Global Vision)
Backspace Function - press backspace to delete all currently selected units/structures
Any Units ordered to Hold Position will not attack by default when Auto-attack is enabled
Carrier Interceptors fixed (pre-battle invulnerability removed completely)
Structure Placement mode is more accurate (but still not perfect)
Separated the Clear All button; now there are left/right Clear
Non-league upgrades removed (Immortal - Weapon Range, Infestor - Peristalsis)

Just tested some Campaign Units lol Hyperion is nearly undefeatable, at least you need more than 100 mercenary Vikings and 10 BCs..or Kerrigan with her ability to oneshot mechanical units ;) ..and she is immortal :D

Found a Bunker bug:
In the spawn menu for the left player make a bunker and 4 marines into the bunker.
Press START. Press the Restart-Button(on the left side of the DONE button). Press the DONE button.
-> Marines in bunker are gone.

Found an Archon cost display bug:
In the spawnmenu, spawn 2 High Templar or 2 Dark Templar and merge them to an Archon. Now when you spawn some other unit or press START, the costs are updated to the costs of 1 HT + 1 DT.

Buuuuguuuuh!!

I spawned 5 Banelings, 1 Nydus worm, 1 Nydus Network for the right player and 5 Sentries for the left player. Still in the Spawnmenu I put all 5 Banelings in the Nydus Worm, then pressed START. Nothing unusual until here. Then I pressed DONE and suddenly my Nydus Network has 10 Banelings in it and the Unit Panel shows that I have 20 Banelings. When I press again START and DONE it becomes 20/40, then 40/80 and so on, until 255/510.

Amazing map. Mostly using for marine vs baneling micro. Really thanks for putting all that time and effort into making this sweet map. :)

I often want to test the difference between A-click and focusfire. But sometimes it doesn't work because of APM-lack.

So my features request:
Auto Focus Fire: For each side indiviualy.

Advanced options like:
- Which unittype attacks which unittype. For example "Zealots and Colossi A-click, Immortals focusfire Roaches, Stalkers focusfire Corruptors"
- Start Focusfire when X enemy/friendly units of type Y left. For example in a battle with 30 Mutalisks vs. 25 Stalkers "Mutalisks start focusfire when 17 Mutalisks left"
- More complicated like "Charged Voidrays focusfire weak corruptors, uncharged Voidrays focusfire less weak corruptors"

Please, fix BANELING cost.

It must include zergling cost.

Now it's 25/25 instead 50/25.

And add please function to delete upgrades (after clear button)

Sorry for the lack of updates all. Been doing some consulting work, but I promise I'll get back on this soon :-)

Bugreport: Images of Armor and Weapons (when you select units) are not reset after pressing "clear".
