Alrighty, perhaps another question then - how does one add an aura, can someone point me to a tutorial or something that goes over how to make auras that are abilities? :)
I am adding the Learn ability to my heroes, making all of their special abilities learned one at a time as they level up. All works perfectly as long as I use an ability.
So - I have a behavior called Leadership Aura, and I want to be able to make other auras as well. My question - how do I assign this to the Learn ability? It only has a dropbox for abilities. So, I assume there is some way to make an ability that gives a behavior?
My behavior is a simple aura that gives 10% to movement and attack speeds. It has:
I followed the tutorials here. I cannot say I fully understand how all the above works together lol - I just followed the instructions and it worked. Currently, my heroes all have this behavior on them. I would like it if I could have it picked from the Learn menu I made of abilities, and once picked just be on with a passive icon, or something like that.
I have a bizarre bug that affects my computer every time I use the editor. When I close it, it takes anywhere from 5 to sometimes 30 seconds, and after that all my programs are permanently laggy until I reboot.
As an example, normally I am pegged at 60FPS in SCII, but if I load it after I close the editor, I get 12. COD Black Ops feels it, shown by the mouse cursor jumping around instead of gliding in menus. Firefox usually loads in less that 2 seconds, after the editor it takes 30.
All this vanishes with a reboot.
My system isn't bad - 2.8 Quad Core, 8GB Ram, Nvidia 260
Any thoughts? I don't mind rebooting my comp now and then, but during testing its a real pain.
Has anyone tested this? My mod has models in it, but it seemed like I needed to import them into maps as well. Perhaps that was a different bug and I am mistaken (would be nice!), but can I use multiple mods with 10mb of models as dependencies?
Next update will include:
- Dozens of new upgrades
- Commanders abilities level like Warcraft 3
- Commanders will revive with levels
- New buildings including healing fountains and penalty structures (psi-disruptor, hivemind scrambler, bio-dampener)
The CFG Melee Expansion mod is designed to bring more options to players with new units, upgrades, and powers. Many are from the SC2 campaign, and others are completely new.In addition, the mod enables a few new gameplay elements such as Commanders (WCIII-ish heroes) and Vetrancy (units level up).
General
• Commanders : Each race has unique hero units (Terran Commander / Battleship, Protoss Executar / Mothership, Zerg Cerebrate / Hivemistress) of which only one of each type can be spawned at a time (similar to Mothership requirement). This unit gives all allied units within its sight a 10% bonus to attack speed and movement speed, representing coordination between the commander and his units. Each commander has a number of powers as well.
• Vetrancy : Units gain experience in combat, up to level 3, commanders up to level 5. Levels give a bonus to damage, shields, armor, movement to units, with commanders gaining regeneration from levels as well:

- ShardFenix for his StarCraft+ mod and the many upgrades included from it, and for his Leaderboard UI for maps as well
- Sepraphim for his Nullifier model
- k10forgotten for his Reaver model
- mParfait and UltiDrgn for their models and icons
Known Issues
- Some animations are imperfect, once I understand actors and models more completely I hope to eliminate this bug.
- Computer AI does not use new units. I am not capable of programming the AI to use them, if someone is and wants to help that would be great!
- A SCV icon appears in the queue now and then, it does not affect the unit being built.
- New upgrades and units might have their stats adjusted as time goes on and I get more feedback on their balance.
HOW TO ADD TO MAPS:
Very simple.
1) Open the map in the editor, go to File - Dependencies. Add the mod as a dependency, move it to the top. Save.
2) Import (F9) and import the models file included (everything in the folder). Import ALL the files EXCEPT the .m3 files. Save.
3) Close the editor, every window. Double check it's fully closed.
4) Re-open the map, import the .m3 files. Save.
5) You are done! I do this with new maps all the time while friends are waiting in the lobby, it takes less than 5 minutes!!
Purpose of this thread:
I made this mod for me and my friends, and decided to release it. This mod can be used by anyone for anything, and it can be released without giving me credit (although the work of others listed above should be acknowledged). I seek no internet glory for my ability to edit a few data fields :)
I want to hear about:
- Bugs, from things that don't work to typos and spelling - posting a link to a fix is even better!
- other units, upgrades, powers, or features people might want to see
I do NOT want to hear about:
- Balance issues or thoughts about anything like that, unless the unit is bugged (doing 500 damage instead of 50, etc)
- Complaints, negativity, or flames
I will just ignore these two things. No offense.
I have a mod I am working on, using it as a dependeny in a map enables all sorts of new units, powers, etc. I am now adding items for heroes, and I was wondering if there is an easy way to open a map and move files (units, abilities, upgrades, items) from the map into the mod.
Moving from mod to mod is easy, since if they are dependent on each other you can just copy the file.
How do I do this with characters? Their textures are all named "Body.tga" when I go to Export Textures but if we need to put them all into the root folder and there is more than one custom character, they will have the same file name . . see my point? Without the directories, it won't work, unless you rename the texture file perhaps? Anyone know what I mean, how to bypass this problem?
I don't understand this thread. My melee expansion mod is almost done, and I started with a mod. It works fine, and can be added to any map and boom it works. Did I miss something in this thread?
On the "Archon" actor, I changed the Art - Model - Build to ArchonMerge. When they warp in, it plays that and looks fantastic. The only problem I still have is there is no transparent Archon for the Art - Model - Placement slot. For that I use something the same size, my custom Protoss units not having proper placement animations. The Archon, for example, uses a Templar Placement. Its not perfect, but I am not a modeler so not much I can do! Gotta work with what I got.

- Behavior:

-- Leadership Aura Buff
- Effects:
-- Leadership Search Area
-- Leadership Persistent
-- Leadership Apply Behavior
I followed the tutorials here. I cannot say I fully understand how all the above works together lol - I just followed the instructions and it worked. Currently, my heroes all have this behavior on them. I would like it if I could have it picked from the Learn menu I made of abilities, and once picked just be on with a passive icon, or something like that.
