It has been a week now that we all saw the videos of the current status of HoTs.
While there was a mod already, created on the information out of 2011 and the developer seems to not update his map yet,
I'd like to ask if anyone would do one or is doing already?
Luckily one guy wrote down ALL unit stats and textes of the ability so it can be a 100% clone out of the current hots status.
Which can be found here...
I have never used any map editor so i cant get it done myself, but so far its mostly creating some spells and the uniqe Mothership Core,
anyone able to say how much work it would be?
I might, but maybe in 2 weeks, because I'm on vacation right now, anyways, it's easy enough...
Edit: Just don't expect anything to look good, i.e., too lazy to do details like the tempest creating that random orb during its recharge, it'll just fire an orb out of thin air instead...
@MoDTassadar: Go I have already included the Reaper changes and the Widow Mine in my maps, as well as a few other changes so it could be a coop map, if you start working on it send me the file and I'll add what I have here.
@Cryst4X: Go I can say Widow Mines are awesome against the AI, but they can be a waste of resources if you don't know how to use them, or if your enemy is smart enough to send cheap units ahead of his main army.
Well, Blizzard isn't exactly going to give HotS copies to everyone, or am I wrong?
@SoulFilcher: Thanks! I have been working a bit on mine, and I have already done the reaper and tried making the widow mine, but for some reason, after it unburrows, it become untargetable. Thanks to you, I can use yours! Of course, you will get credit. I won't continue working on it that much, as it is still my vacation...

No, you're right. Blizzard will do it with keys so some Persons as always.
Which obviously will not make alot of sense with hots since some people will be better than others.
That simply sucks..
But luckily we have a Mod Community which can copy HoTs very easily ;)
Is anyone working on it? Mine is only lacking Entomb and the Viper's abilities. I dont want to publish an incomplete version so I thought I could ask for a little help here.
Go and ask Xenox. Hes responsible for the most famous HOTS custom map of the 2011 Blizzcon build. He has entomb/Oracle and the Viper as fully functional units/abilities in this map. Since there hasnt been much changed with theese units you could probably copy it easily. GL can't wait for it.
btw.: Xenox posted in the TL.Forums that he is currently working on updating his old maps to the state of the MLG build so maybe u can help him out a little.
The map is almost complete. It only lacks Viper's Consume as far as I know. Of course I still need to go after some bugs. I also need to learn about all HoTS changes as some players reviewed my map saying there are some changes still missing, like changes to Spawn Changeling and the Overlord's Spawn Creep ability. Does anyone know about that?
For those who dont know the maps is called HOTS Cloud Kingdom LE and it's avaiable on the arcade beta.
U can ask to someone "lucky" man that tryed hots on the "mlg",if u can contact someone enough nerd to remember all,he will could tell u all about hots current stats and abilities

Thanx for reading :)
@Cryst4X: Go Try contacting the mod's author. I agree the mod must be updated, I know I will include some of the new stuff in my own mod.
People, including me did already but he is not replying. What i and the community want is a clean hots map, nothing in addition to play it out.
@Cryst4X: Go I know. But its unlikely that someone will work on it when there's already a HoTS mod going on.
I might, but maybe in 2 weeks, because I'm on vacation right now, anyways, it's easy enough...

I might give it a go tomorrow when i am done with all my exams ... unless Mapster Madness needs care...
Would be awesome, i am die while waiting to try hots currents state out.
@Cryst4X: Go I can say Widow Mines are awesome against the AI, but they can be a waste of resources if you don't know how to use them, or if your enemy is smart enough to send cheap units ahead of his main army.
the beta is likely to start within a couple weeks.

@MoDTassadar: Go So, you copied it from my mod? Keep me updated and I can help you.
No, you're right. Blizzard will do it with keys so some Persons as always. Which obviously will not make alot of sense with hots since some people will be better than others. That simply sucks..

I just added the Mothership Core to my mod. It will be easy to copy it to the new HoTS mod.
Is anyone working on it? Mine is only lacking Entomb and the Viper's abilities. I dont want to publish an incomplete version so I thought I could ask for a little help here.

@pTaShekuras: Go I PMd him, let's see what happens. If we get our versions together we have a complete HoTS mod with the latest changes.
