Yeah, I dunno. It seems the patch affected the editor differently for people. I've seen some people who have only minor bugs and some like me, where they can't even play any maps.
Already checked it. It was Off already, so that definitely isn't the issue. :/

some like me, where they can't even play any maps.
To be honest, if there has to be a bug, this is one I wouldn't mind to have, as it will be fixed anyway. Anything fucking up triggers, terrain or other stuff that affects many maps is much worse.
Indeed. The only thing I'm worried about right now is the fact that I can't check if everything works. The map triggers appear as they should, but I can't know for sure if the triggers are actually bugged.
For this reason, I think I prefer to just not touch the editor and possibly mess something up. A bug that is affecting so many players have to be adressed and fixed by Blizzard at some point.

Well, you two are in EU and Imposter and I are in NA, so maybe it's a regional issue.

Alright, Blizzard just released a new patch today, fixing the Mac Editor issues. I am now able to play again, and will be continuing work on this project.
The maps still has minor bugs with some text not showing up properly but I can fix that in a couple of minutes. The gameplay itself seem to be working just fine, but I will be playing through every map now just to check and after that will release an update just to be sure that everything works.

Haha, whoops. It was indeed supposed to be "able".
Luckily though, considering it's your own missions, it shouldn't take as long. :P

Okay so apparently Blizzard removed the classic "Send Transmission" action and now all maps that currently use this action are marked as "Send Transmission (Deprecated). I found some grammar errors that I would like to fix but I am unable to as my editor crashes every time I try to open and edit the text.
All the other ways you can make a transmission is not ideal for me, as they all seem to require sound files and there is no direct text option. If anyone finds a way to make transmissions like the ones I've had so far, then please inform me!
EDIT: Searched a little bit. The new one is called "Send Transmission for Player". This has the exact same layout as the previous classic transmissions. However, I still cannot edit as my editor crashes everytime. So, project is still on hold.

That's good to know. I was wondering why I didn't see a new one. It currently isn't labeled as part of the transmission category. Thanks for the info, I'll be trying it out to see if it works well. I'm particularly curious if it works well with the zerg heroes since I had to use the advanced send transmission previously so that I could specify a portrait actor.
Edit: Looks like there is a spot in the new one to manually type in a portrait actor, so it works.
Hey Dudki, I'm hopeful the editor troubles clear up soon.
Are you still ok with me showcasing what is released of Annihilation? I'd like to start it the week of the LotV release. I have an actual reason - any videos released around my LotV series will be in the related videos sidebar on YouTube. Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback you've gotten, I'd consider this campaign our community's 'best foot forward', so to speak, that can function as a great gateway via the related videos on YouTube for any new viewers who watch my LotV series, which may branch a handful into custom content. This happened with my Whispers of Oblivion series, which managed to take off (over 100,000 views) so I think this is a good opportunity to plan ahead for.

Go right ahead. As you know, the released missions are tagged as "Complete" and I don't believe anything is messed up from the new patch, so they should be fine. Mission 11 is the only mission that hasn't had any updates yet, but you can play that too if you wish. All the changes I have planned are mostly grammatical errors and minor things that won't completely enhance the experience.

So I played the first mission. I feel like I may have played it a long while ago and forgotten about it, haha. Overall it was pretty good, though I felt like the hold out part may have gone on for a little longer than it needed to be.
Nowadays, I actually agree. I don't know if it's something I'll ever go back and change, though. That mission is so far beyond where I am currently and at this point, I'd rather move on.

As long as it isn't a plotstopper bug and a map feels good enough I wouldn't change i until all maps are complete. Once all maps are finished you get a really good feeling about how any map compares to any other and can adjust things nicely.
Yea, I understand what you mean. I'll probably still leave some comments on missions as I go on, cuz maybe it'll change how you make future missions. That's how I often use a lot of comments on my stuff when I feel I'm truly finished with a past map.
Definitely. By all means, let me know what you think can be improved. I'm always open to constructive critiscism, even though these released missions are as good as finished at this point.

I am slowly starting to work on A12 again, as I've found a solution to the ramp issue, and the crashes don't appear to occur much anymore. Let us hope no more problems come up, as I really want to get back to work on the project.
Expect another map update coming up in the next few days, either tomorrow or the day after.
I want to do an update like this just to make sure the maps are fully compatible with the new 3.0 system. This will also allow me to add some smaller changes that I never got around to. The upcoming update will contain A11 as well, with updates containing many of the changes that was suggested to me from other people.

I'm assuming that's supposed to be "able", not "unable"?
Ugh... the thought of playing through 30 missions. I mean, I was gonna do that anyway, but only for the sake of pleasure, not bug-squashing.

Maybe, but even if there's only one bug per mission, it's going be time-consuming and boring to fix them all. Ugh...
