Cruiser Command v0.93g

[Dynamiczx]

10 out of 5! Its obviously the best map for wc3 ever.. we play on pirate servers.. _nameless ghost bot hosts this map on rubattlenet,eurobattlenet and some other 13servers simultaneously, lol.

Rather hard for newbs - so u rly have to add visual demonstrative TUTORIAL how to use turrets, how it looks and works, and how to collect rez - not all nerds know english well ^_^ and they leave long before realising> how awesome it is. Also, wut about adding special PvE type of the game with mobs, spacepirates and surviving for time.. maybe even big boss or swarming mutalisks - it can really improove gameplay. U can also add some hardcore variant of the game with Sudden meteor showers or even dangerous supernova in center of the map which should consume map after 30min - so limited time for piecefull harvesting will blow everybodys mind. And I really hope u will add one or 2 more vessels and maybe improoove appearence of the mamaship inside even more by adding redlights or sparkles while reactor offline. I also hope that asteroids will be dangerous for small vessels too not only during being pushed. Great map, bravo, addicted to it, so many tactics and variants of battle. Is there a little chance for smthng like that in STARCRAFT2? Or even STANDALONE GAME? It saved me from NOGAEMS, thank god.

hmmm....I think these adds would make the map lag even more but they are nice ideas
But considering the author didn't show up around lately i doubt he is developing the map anymore

Hey, CalleX and TKF, you can pass me an unprotected version of the command cruiser for me to edit?
So I wanted to do a way to change the ships and teams.
ex:
Team 1: Cylon
Team 2: Humans

I eddit only the model of the battlecruiser and the names.

Cruiser I command you use to create one battle of Battlestar basest and one in the game. (Battlestar Galactica)

Or create one to fight it and the Goa'uld Ha'tak Prometheus X-303. (Stargate)

you can give me an unprotected version?

With such a sentence for request i wouldn't give you even if i were him dieing on bed from age.

 

[JusticeKing7]

Anyone plays this on Garena?

 

[UberPWN]

Mainly on BN

Yay, i was waitin' for that for a looong time

 

[shinji]

I like this map very much. The only problem is I don't have friends to play this map with.... Everyone always quit because they don't undearstand how to play this nice map...

 

[Speaker15071]

When new version of the map will be released?

 

[UberPWN]

He is not developing it any more.

Btw. I host every day and play with 1 or 2 friends @ 20 GMT on all BN realms.

/whois CruiserBOT - my bot hosting CC

@northredn /whois UBERPWN

 

[Viei]

Taking into account impressive trigger lag which may lead the game to the point of being unplayable even at dualcores and absense of developers there's really no point to give this map top rating anymore.

 

[UberPWN]

It is =)
As its one of best maps made for wc3!

why too big filesize? -.-

 

[UberPWN]

What do you mean?

 

[kiloneie]

Im working on 2D similar game to cruiser command... i can show progress if anyone wants... but im bored... if some group of people actually liked the idea i could start working more on it...

 

[targaryen]

Ok, just if you don't know it.. the game it's in SC2!! it has the same name, and well... some changes that i hope you enjoy; So for everybody that plays to SC2, i've created a chat room called Cruiser Command, where i try to join people to play this amazing map.

see ya!!

 

[clockwork2]

Curses, I don't have SC2, and there are SOOOOOO many awesome looking scenarios there. WCIII is fading into oblivion, due to lack of awesome scenarios to entice people.

Well, starcraft mapping has more potential, or lets say, more uses these days. The improved graphics, the sci-fi theme is getting more popular, and people start mapping on it more often, than a (sort of) dieing, mid graphics, medieval-like game. Don't get me wrong, if they would make warcraft 4, i would be one of the happiest person of the planet, but as long as there is the starcraft, which i also love a lot, then i prefer playing that.

 

[clockwork2]

T.T
I hope it's cheap and downloadable, WC4 if it comes.

 

[JusticeKing7]

Maybe...they could add a warcraft but it would be like minecraft and it will be for customizing and modifying map

 

[clockwork2]

Winecraft! lol, name merge fail.

 

[Captivate]

add music to this game.

 

[clockwork2]

I believe this map is no longer being worked on in WCIII, I believe he is working on it in SCII now.

Or someone is... I forgot who XD

 

[Captivate]

suggestions for next patch:

-add music
-make elevators to a second floor (making the first floor less cramped and big)
-add more stars in space (background)
-make the terrain in the ship better looking

 

[clockwork2]

Indeed it does Captivate, and hrrmmmm.

 

[UberPWN]

TKF is no loger map maker... He quit developing this map.

Btw. if u looking for games, add "CruiserBOT" - every realm - i can give basicly every1 admin rights, so u can swap, host, balance and stuff.

 

[Hybralisk]

Starcraft 1's cruiser command?

Salutations one and all! My name is Chris, and I very much would like to track down the original map back from Starcraft 1. I believe that it was named " Cruiser Control " but it may have gone by a slightly different title. Does anyone happen to remember anything about it?

I would like to help out the creative process behind the new SC2 version of it. I've noticed that no one that currently plays the sc2 version has even heard of the sc1 title! I really want to fix that.

Everything you just said either wont work, or is completely irrelevant to this thread... Go make your own thread, this is for "Cruiser Command."

 

[clockwork2]

Captivate, you multi-posted, merge the posts or face a report.

 

[UberPWN]

Facebook: Cruiser COMMAND - I am looking for mates to play with. Add me. Name of my FB is CRUISER COMMAND.

 

[clockwork2]

How would I play with others not using B.net. I've heard of Garena, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea... I'm not good with other people..

 

[UberPWN]

Well... Add me to friends, we can always make some tournament not via BN.

 

[TKF]

Noone has taken over this project, and I'm been very busy. I've decided to make a brief return to update Cruiser Command. It won't be for long afaik.

This is what is coming in 0.86 - This is only some of the new features - And yes no longer peasant crew

New feature - Teleporter!

New way of fighting - Attack enemy crew

New tactics - Sabotage

I will upload it on epicwar and makemehost when I'm finished with all the testings for myself. It comes with tons of features and new stuff.

 

[Deolrin]

That looks amazing. Any word on a possible SC2 version? Is that still in the works? I think the SC2 engine would allow for some really cool stuff.

I'm unable to get in touch with Callex so I don't know if I'm able to upload it here. If I upload the map the map it will start fresh. Currently this is rated by many people and had many reviews. I would prefer it that way. I asked Ralle if there is possible to change the uploader.

 

[Garfield1337]

I hope you have optimized it, because it often gets unplayable later in the game. Cruiser collision also drops fps a lot.

 

[TKF]

I halved the lagg creation from collision and miner mineral drones. However the map builds up as the game passes, as everything should have been written to vJASS to optimize it properly. Also the AI system laggs a but. With only wc3optimizer making the GUI somewhat faster, that alone isn't enough. Unfortunately I've done mostly what I can optimize GUI wise. I've experinced perhaps 10-20% better gameplay, but that's it. Also fixed missing point leaks from consoles.

However the trigger stack overflow limit is pretty close. I must make the current triggers more effective and use least amount of conditions as possible. The teleport system was pretty complex since I must add failsafes cuz of trigger lagg can cause it to glitch.


I will fix current bugs on the map and release a new version when I get some bugreports. Currently I'm only aware of the door bug on enemy cruiser which doesn't always close. But there is something in the map which glitches, which make a periodic lagg. I don't know the source yet. But it partially loops somehow and I have no idea what is causing it yet.


Most likely I release a new version, when I get some list over non-critical bugs.

Bugfix update

 

[HolyFireX]

@_@ an update......

Sabotage and the marine model is cool though

 

[Captivate]

Good to see you back TKF

 

[clockwork2]

Yea....guns, Mega fun..
EDIT: For some reason, if a mining ship is too close to the battlecruiser, mining drones seem to circle AROUND the battlecruiser.
It also seems the refinery robot doesn't move towards the refinery bays...NVM, it works if it has a full cargo...
Also, I can form a special Marine skin for you if ya want.

 

[TKF]

I don't need a marine skin, I think the regular weaponless marine (edited by jk2pach with additional animations) would be sufficient.

The Refinery AI is poor, but it only works when he has 4 raw ore minerals available or 4 refined ores, and is bugging when a mining vessel drops ore in space, it go to the left wing to "get it" Even if the triggers define region only in cruiser, it ignores that condition regardless :/



New minor update released on hive and mmh!

0.86e Added survey scanner ability to cruiser mining console Fixed death bug on ships doors Damaged doors will now stay damaged even when used Repair matrix should now repair damaged doors to full strength Increased the range of personal teleport recall a bit Fixed a condition shield bug that sometimes prevented you from teleporting Fixed several minor bugs

I released another version, which should fix the doors from blowing up when going through them. Hopefully the doors shouldn't jam anymore. I know of the issue with missile loading failing in heavy trigger lagg, I'll see if I can fix it somehow, its a very difficult bug, along with heavy lagg of unknown cause.

 

[Garfield1337]

In 0.86 version, I encountered many bugs that weren't there before.
One of bugs was that we couldn't hit the Epsilon cruiser at all, missiles just passed through it, but they could hit us iirc. Our cruiser could also fly through the other one; at one point, cruisers were atop one another.
Second thing is, we had infinite rockets. Loading wasp rockets into fighter didn't work and we could unload them as much as we wanted (more than we attempted to store).

That was 0.86-0.86c bugs. The bug caused that if the cruiser never lost shields during the game, it "phased". Also the hangar console crashed with one of the new abilities on new consoles. It's fixed. I forgot to redo it when I was testing before release to test different triggers and features. And also forgetting most of the stuff after 1 year.

I'm going most likely going to add more boarding options in next version so you don't have teleporter console as the only means for boarding. I'm also considering to add escape pods so boarding crew can as an alternative escape back to their main cruiser id they are out of teleporter range. I may also check on the missile loading lagg problem.

 

[UberPWN]

Well, great to see you back!
I am your follower since over two years, and I enjoy your work like no other game.

Sugestion:
1. Cargo drone orbiting cruiser cause pretty heavy fps drop, from about 50 to under 1 FPS (/fps command). Can u please perm change turn rate of cargo drone to same as cruiser while nullifier? I don't think any1 will miss those big turns of cargo drone.
2. Add dmg info to missiles descriptions. Like:
Shield: 50 dmg
Hull: 1 dmg
Vessel: 1500
Special:
-4 000 energy
-2 500 energy
Debris: low
or smth like that.
Or mb geek console? Maybe return bridge map table, and make it "info console"?


Also I encountered few bugs with doors:
1.

Door have been bombed from inside. Now I am stuck on wing without possible way to get out. After I blasted door, I stepped into wing zone and just after me, armoury robot came via doors. After that I wasnt able to get out from wing/blast them again.

2. Hard to capture it, but doors aint getting dmg, not sure how does it works, but it happens all the time when I play against humans. Probably some upgrade glitch makes door immune to dmg. While I tested few times in few configurations, vs 5 computers (lowest upgrade of my cruiser was: 2xcore+1xteleporter, best was almost full with armoury and tp), doors seems to work more than fine, dont glitch and well...


I find it making boarding very ineffective.

I will increase rate of turn by 40%, that should be enough to circle in faster

Also I will implement missile description as well. It might be a good idea for the players to know how much dmg missiles do. This way feedback on missile damage will help balancing them.

I was pretty sure I've dealt with this problem in 0.86e and fixed it. However I will look into it again. Doors are not suppose to open or close when they are blown up. Maybe they are triggered when enemy team walk through them. Do projectiles get blocked too?


I'm working on a new version which will be released in few hours or tomorrow... or next weekend.

 

[UberPWN]

If u think about balancing missiles, nerf merc missiles, they are preety much imba, with 200 merc and no or just lil upgrades like stabilisers, its very easy to rush enemies, even without sabertooths, and there is just no protection from it.

Doors issue:
If enemy open them, stand in doors I was able to shoot him, but yes, projectiles get bocked while doors are closed:

its not show on this image, but after this hit, doors still had full hp
But doors are full HP all the time.

If you like - send me map to test, I have few friends with whom I can test and send you our opinion. We did a lot of testing of previous versions to know missiles numbers, upgrades, counters vs overloaded yamato etc.

Other suggestion:
Make armour system works more like metastasis - dropable armour, mb only capitan have basic armour since begging, and basic armour could be made in molecular constructor. Crew without armour would get some more movement speed.

I would need models which is visible on the marine. For now I don't know any armors for the marine model which has been released here on hive or other places. But the system is already implemented, but It's only 1 armor in the game so far which is on the medic console.

________________


Okey, took about 5 hours to find a cure for that bug. It's a hardcoded bug which makes destructables somehow immune to goblin sapper spell after being closed once. However I've instead added substraction in the trigger, but the door hit animation was removed as result. But the door do take damage now. When you made me improve cargo drone homing, I discovered a missing removal of point leak in drone homing trigger which I've fixed

0.87 by TKF Added a new vessel feature: Cruiser Boarding (fighter only) Added a ability: Escape pod (Hangar tele pads for boarding crew) Added new crew weapon: Bolt Minigun Reworked predator missile and given it special close range homing Reworked the pulse rifle to be haltable with stop command More detailed damage info added on missiles Slightly buffed phasewave rifle due to its costs Fixed a bug that caused phasewave to move vessels in hangar First aid ability does now only give 140 hp to the revived crew Buffed healing kit a bit You should now experience shake effect of sabotage bombs Fixed a fatal periodic leak regarding homing missiles and cargo drones Added a missile load fix which moves missiles near autoloader boxes Properly fixed a bug with the doors not taking damage Removed friendly fire restriction on cruiser doors (removes most door bugs) Fixed a serious bug with teleport ability which caused massive trigger hangup Screen will stay red until you are revived Some bugfixes and minor changes 0.87b by TKF Fixed and order id conflict which prevented you to get battery pack Reduced the events created by Merculite missile impact from 4 to 1

If your crew is stranded on enemy cruiser and is outside recall range, you can now walk on the pads in enemy cruisers hangar bay and use escape pods (well its not that easy you might have fight your way to the hangar escape pods). Also the fighter can board enemy cruiser with the single marine on board (but loss for a vessel for a few mines though). But with automatic revival kit and crew weapon console a single marine on fighter might be very deadly for the price of never getting Teleporter Console. Should allow variation of consoles more tempting.

I've changed the Predator missile to excel in close combat without facing the enemy cruiser, but also reduced its homing in very close range, making fighters able to dodge it, which should prevent bumping contest as well as laser barrage ability which can be fired from any side.


I will consider balancing missile in future versions perhaps. For now you get the missile info very detailed (only appears for the captain and the engineer building the missiles)

 

[UberPWN]

Gathering ppl to test it out!
:>
Cant wait to play it!


Seems to work more than fine! Tho ppl said there was bug - when our power went down while they boarded us, they get perma dark screen, and had to die and be boarded back to get normal view.
I did not experienced it, just words of enemy team.

 

[UberPWN]

Okkk... After about 6 hours of playing I find it best version ever

But:
Drones still can orbit cruiser - happen only once - great improvement, can be better.
My last game, there was major bug,
2vs2 + 3 computers each team
Epsilon cruiser crew come to our cruiser with fighters and boarded us... And they just stuck on our ship, camera was moved to their ship.
Moreover, I snipped their cruiser with merculite missiles, hoping that before they breach to bridge they will loose - after they buum, all of us died, every computers, hp start to dropping rapidly, like in leaver scenarios, every crew member on both ships was killed.

Just 1 game, first - serious issue imo, second - dosnt matter, tho its bug.

 

[TKF]

List for 0.87c

Made a fix which prevents bombing your own cruiser - Fixed Fatal bug with escape pod which resulted in fatal error - Fixed Boarding camera bug for epsilon fighter team - Fixed Bug that caused both team to die when cruiser had hull breach event - Fixed Bug which caused permanet blackout screen when boarding and cruiser lost power - Fixed Bug which allowed a player to leave ship when power was down - Fixed Autofire bug with bolt minigun - Fixed Disapearance of crew member using escape pod source of bug not found

Ok, dealt with those minor bugs, but I have a big issue with escape pods which for some reason removes units out of the game and the debug cannot recall those. Until further notice do not use escape pods it bugs the crew from the game permanently.

If you should enounter this bug having teleporter it might work using recall ability after using -unstuck cmd. I must do series of testing to find what variable i missed. Might take a few hours to troubleshoot this bug.

 

[UberPWN]

Upload to mmh asap please ^^

EDIT:

Upload asap here, fighter boarding totally bugged with previous version. Wanted to test new one =(
