| 00:40.15 | DeadZergling | was it even just a year ago Bounty ? Seems like a year 1/2 or 2 |
| 00:40.29 | Bounty | Was a year |
| 00:40.33 | Bounty | give or take 2 months |
| 00:41.31 | Bounty | It doesn't seem like many people are entering this year. |
| 00:42.08 | DeadZergling | is still pretty early in the contest |
| 00:42.19 | DeadZergling | they might enter once they are sure they can have their idea done |
| 00:42.30 | Bounty | Only 2 and a half months left till deadline |
| 00:43.16 | DeadZergling | indeed, not sure I can honestly have enough done by then to bother entering. A lot done, but the game isn't currently winnable |
| 00:43.54 | Bounty | Make a new game that can be done within that time? |
| 00:44.15 | DeadZergling | maybe, but got burned pretty bad last time I did that |
| 00:44.19 | DeadZergling | so not sure I want to |
| 00:44.52 | Bounty | So did I, but I'm still entering 2 games this year lol |
| 00:45.04 | DeadZergling | wasn't it 3 or 4 earlier? |
| 00:45.05 | Bounty | Can't hurt. |
| 00:45.15 | Bounty | Yeah, but I've narrowed it down to 2 |
| 00:45.32 | Bounty | That I can think can win |
| 00:45.59 | DeadZergling | is your ultra water ball one of them? |
| 00:46.08 | Bounty | Yeah |
| 00:46.28 | Bounty | It got a lot of press when I posted it to reddit so its definitely going in |
| 00:46.29 | Bounty | lol |
| 00:47.12 | DeadZergling | if I made something from nothing, probably go with Warcraft: Destroy all Monsters |
| 00:47.23 | DeadZergling | be simple enough I could be done in a matter of weeks possibly |
| 00:47.51 | Bounty | I'm going to creativity/unique and fun games |
| 00:48.03 | Bounty | going for* |
| 00:48.15 | Bounty | not so much on the technical feat side |
| 00:48.23 | DeadZergling | well, I'm pretty sure no one else is going for Godzilla style Warcraft combat |
| 00:48.25 | Bounty | that fucked me last year lol |
| 00:48.49 | Bounty | Sounds like Iron Fire |
| 00:48.53 | Bounty | but with Warcraft |
| 00:49.15 | DeadZergling | is the only type of game that could work for me probably |
| 00:49.20 | Bounty | Not a bad thing, Blizzard really liked that game |
| 00:49.28 | DeadZergling | something that requires like, NO knowledge of warcraft at all |
| 00:49.45 | DeadZergling | have a godzilla style laser come out of an orc or something |
| 00:49.49 | Bounty | Yes, accessibility is a major priority |
| 00:50.06 | Bounty | That is probably Aqua Leagues only weak point |
| 00:50.09 | Bounty | at the moment at least |
| 00:50.29 | DeadZergling | yea, I meant for me as well |
| 00:50.35 | DeadZergling | as I know fuck all about the WC universe, lol |
| 00:50.42 | Bounty | Same |
| 00:50.50 | Bounty | People told me that the models I used for Aqua League made sense Lore Wise |
| 00:50.52 | Bounty | and I was like uhh yeah |
| 00:50.55 | Bounty | I intended that? |
| 00:50.56 | Bounty | lol |
| 00:51.13 | DeadZergling | yea, for me I'm just, I am playing SC2, editing for SC2 |
| 00:51.23 | DeadZergling | it wasn't my hope to go medieval yet again |
| 00:51.44 | Bounty | Ironically, I prefer Warcraft to Starcraft |
| 00:51.48 | Bounty | Not a big sci fi fan |
| 00:53.33 | DeadZergling | I can enjoy both |
| 00:53.50 | DeadZergling | as long as you throw out all logic and science knowledge before starting either, you can have a good time |
| 00:56.02 | Bounty | I just don't enjoy the settings |
| 00:56.05 | Bounty | but thats just me |
| 00:56.21 | Bounty | So for me, the fantasy theme is a perfect fit |
| 00:56.36 | Bounty | As that is my favorite to make and I have the most fun doing so |
| 00:57.00 | Bounty | AL is done except the UI, and DH2 will be playable with 1 map very soon |
| 00:57.10 | DeadZergling | was a time I probably enjoyed it more, but it is so overdone |
| 00:57.20 | DeadZergling | just got fed up with it |
| 00:57.30 | Bounty | I can also tell you, designing a UI for a fantasy game WAY more fun and easy IMO |
| 00:58.27 | Bounty | but yeah, I hope you check out DH2 when it goes live in the next few weeks :) |
| 00:58.34 | Bounty | gimme dat feedback |
| 01:03.16 | DeadZergling | oh, sure you want mine? it is almost always rude |
| 01:05.24 | Bounty | Did you ever play the original? |
| 01:05.38 | DeadZergling | dunno, what does DH2 stand for? |
| 01:06.45 | Bounty | Doodad Hunt 2 |
| 01:17.32 | DeadZergling | nope, never played any of those |

| 02:32.35 | DeadZergling | sure Rhavon, what you want is to save a map to folders, then start another map, save it as folders, then throw the files you want from the previous map to that |

| 12:09.13 | turtles | Hey everyone. As per usual I'm only dropping in here when I have some small question :P |
| 12:09.39 | turtles | Does anyone know how to get a computer player to send a chat message? |
| 12:10.15 | turtles | When you are playing with a computer ally it will send you a message such as "I'm expanding here" |
| 12:10.33 | turtles | or if you beat a computer player it will say "gg" at the end |
| 12:11.03 | turtles | I would like to do something simillar where a computer player sends a chat message that I want |
| 12:13.48 | Rhavon | Look under your AI triggers |
| 12:15.21 | Rhavon | maybe make a trigger that says if allied player orders scv,drone,probe to use ability (build townhall) ping notification and add alert |
| 12:16.52 | Rhavon | I'm currently making all of my waves via triggers instead of the wave module. I can't figure out how to change the ai module to recognize how many players are in the game and I want the waves to adjust to the amount of players. |
| 12:21.43 | turtles | Rhavon: Was that directed to me? |
| 12:22.37 | turtles | I don't see anything under AI in the triggers. alerts seem to be the small messages that appear on the left of the screen |
| 12:22.50 | turtles | such as whenever your base is under attack |
| 12:23.04 | Rhavon | you can add a text command |
| 12:23.26 | Rhavon | make a new trigger and under your actions there is AI and advanced AI |
| 12:23.34 | turtles | Sorry, I don't follow |
| 12:23.40 | turtles | yep |
| 12:24.11 | Rhavon | let me see what I can whip up and I'll post it. give me a few minutes I'm slow too |
| 12:24.33 | turtles | ok, thanks |
| 12:25.00 | turtles | I'm not trying to command the AI in case that's what you're thinking |
| 12:25.21 | turtles | I'm trying to get it to say something in chat |
| 12:53.55 | Rhavon | http://peeeq.de/gui.php?id=3637 |
| 12:54.02 | Rhavon | something like that |

| 13:12.47 | Rhavon | Noooooooo |
| 13:13.19 | Rhavon | I just figured out how to use the ai personalites based on number of players.. which makes 3 hours of trigger writing useless lol |
| 13:45.27 | turtles | Rhavon: sorry I had to leave for a moment |
| 13:45.48 | turtles | I've never used a text tag but I dont think that's what it is |
| 13:45.50 | Rhavon | no worries |
| 13:46.24 | turtles | from the description the editor gives it seems text tags are text that appears at a location on the map |
| 13:46.46 | turtles | not a chat message sent by a player which would show up in the chat log |
| 14:05.20 | Rhavon | oh chat log msg. Im not sure about that |

| 17:17.39 | turtles | Never used the ai module, but I've never seen the point of it either. Triggers are always going to be more flexible, understandable and fine tunable |
| 17:26.24 | *** join/#sc2mapster Goa (~Goa_@91.83.16.7.pool.invitel.hu) |
| 17:29.21 | ArcanePariah | turtles: Yes and No. The AI module IS triggers, it is simply a more user friendly front end to doing waves. |
| 17:29.27 | ArcanePariah | Just not well explained however... |
| 17:29.45 | ArcanePariah | But it does permit someone who does NOT know triggers to pretty easily create attack waves. |
| 17:30.30 | ArcanePariah | You certainly can roll your own waves and such, but you and I know triggers better then most. |
| 17:30.47 | ArcanePariah | And sometimes it is nice to have something thrown together quickly that you know will work. |
| 17:47.13 | turtles | ArcanePariah: yeah, I typed out another sentance as a qualifier about meaning people who already know how to juggle variables/triggers/functions/etc |
| 17:47.22 | turtles | but didn't send it |
| 17:49.19 | turtles | There's still a learning curve to it though. I just took a look and have no idea how it works. I'd have to use it a bunch before I knew what things did |

| 20:11.45 | Dustin|Work | Supp |
| 20:12.17 | Dustin|Work | Just writing up my coverletter for my application for Blizzard |
| 20:20.07 | Ashamed | You move to cali finally? |
| 20:20.13 | Ashamed | What is blizzard hiring for? |
| 20:20.16 | Dustin|Work | Nope, if I get the job I will |
| 20:20.33 | Dustin|Work | Ton of stuff, but im applying for http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/posting.html?id=15000O3 |
| 20:21.42 | Ashamed | They have a position opened for linux systems... in china lol |
| 20:21.53 | Ashamed | You didnt get the job with netflix or w/e |
| 20:22.00 | Ashamed | i dont quite remember lol |
| 20:25.19 | Ashamed | I thought of a good mod/moba game ;) where instead of laning there is a neutral enemy that pretty much just RTS on a big map front... Your job is too lvl your heroes,etc defend against waves of the rts enemy and gather resources so eventually you can attack the other teams base |
| 20:26.06 | Ashamed | You gather threat by killing these guys - which in turn makes them rush you more often with more units... |
| 20:26.47 | Ashamed | Also add an ammo system where everything that attacks needs ammo ( You can reload clips at base if you have them ) but it makes it so you can't venture out of your base too much early game |
| 20:26.57 | Ashamed | because the dmg per attack is too low |
| 20:27.08 | Dustin|Work | Applied for Hulu, went through a month and a half interview process, everything was looking good and at the last minute the big boss man decided to hire his friends instead |
| 20:27.08 | Ashamed | thus needing to return quickly |
| 20:27.31 | Ashamed | aww hulu i knew it was something along those lines... That is a bummer :( |
| 20:27.37 | Dustin|Work | yeah :( |
| 20:27.49 | Ashamed | We had a network position just open up but its filled already |
| 20:28.02 | Ashamed | there is a supervisor position but i am thinking they are going to feel from within |

| 21:11.03 | Bounty | If I applied to Blizzard |
| 21:14.32 | Dustin|Work | Not sure everything this position requires. But it seems like it's editor focused, so gonna have a good foot in the door |
| 21:15.38 | Bounty | I wouldn't feel comfortable applying to a position I did not fully understand |
| 21:15.42 | Bounty | therein lies my problem |
| 21:16.09 | Bounty | From my perspective, I just make games using the editor... is that even worth anything? haha |
| 21:16.50 | Dustin|Work | Gotta have people to use the editor for them :P |
