What did I say!? WHAT DID I SAY? (In a previous thread) yet everyone else said "Source! link! proof! not gonna happen!"

Another one =D

And ugh, inventory system... spare me.

We did say all but the last, and we were perfectly justified in doing so, and still are ;)

Sweet, Blizzard is actually doing something for modders this time around it seems.

They always help the modders. WC3 WE was a huge step from the SC one.

Summary:

-New Map Locking/Protection feature

First they shall lock/protect their cds/dvds against crackers ^^. "Believing that a company which cannot protect its original cd/cd-keys or whatever against crackers/hackers can be able to lock/protect the maps" is ..too optimistic, at least not convincing for now. But we shall wait and see.

I wonder if the map-linking thing they have tried with TFT Orc Campaign (Durotar) will work or not. I believe they tried to imitate the map creation system of Diablo2. But it didn't work. If they can introduce "Randomly Generated Monsters/Creeps, Cliffs, Water, etc.", it will be great, especially for multiplayer (I try to imagine how DotA-clones will be like). Then never the same map will be the same gaming experience. Sounds amazing,but,I am not optimistic.

The map-linking you speak of was really only intended for single player, where it does work.

these are really good news. This allows to remake old SC maps with really new features.

This maplinking you speak of was only intended to be used in campaigns, and therefor only in singleplayer. However i really hope such a feature will be included in SC2, as it will allow us to create cooperative campaigns in SC2 or lets us play the singleplayer campaign in multiplayer.

"This man is not guilty!"
"Where's your proof?"
"I have none!"
5 years later, man proven to be not guilty.
"What did I tell you?"
"You didn't even have any proof, you idiotic piece of shit."

Add that with the fact that this was most certainly the most probable scenario, and you have yourself either an "educated guesser", or the type of guy that tries hard to make himself look like a murderer just so he can boast when it is proven he isn't.

But I was still right and you can't change that.

Yeah, I saw this a long time ago.... I copy pasted all of it into chat too some people and talked about it.

Its kinda good news and kinda bad news at the same time o.O.

I can be right about telling people you have alien fungi growing in your rectum, and the comment still would be worth shit if I didn't have proof. Your arguments are fucking pathetic.

On another topic, I'm sure everyone's happy that there's a built in hero and inventory system for the editor.

LOL. There's a sore loser around here, all right.

And where are these "personal insults" you see?

You know MSBB...you could calm down a notch.

And Tyranid...He is right about the proof thing you know.
