Hey there! I loved your map, actually I have been playing it quitte a while already (I played maybe 10 times from 1-2 years ago untill now).

There is one issue with the save folder. I just got a new computer and for some reason the save file was not saved, nor the folder created. Maybe is there something that can be done about it? I am pretty sure that there is something about the new computers being more strict with making new folders at C:/, but I don't really know how to solve this by my own.

(I am so sad for the loss of my credits :'( )
Anyway, I loved the game, my sincere congratulations! 5/5! :)

Had the same issue with savefolder like Inseer.
I think that patch broken it, because for most RPG they saving code in documents folder.
like: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData
Anyway, thx for the great map, wish to play in next versions!

Oh god should I play that on loop again? xD

I have 4 or 5 custom ambient songs in the background for MineralZ now. Right now I'm prototyping a new weighted random wave system for zerg spawning, and a zerg player slot. I want to create a basic tech tree for the zerg prior to releasing Vers. 1.5. I'm also doing a lot of polish on the map now with the new 128 MB file size limit on B.net. (New icons, building models, UI, sounds, zerg models)

At this stage I'm looking to get feedback on the playable zerg slot, and the new wave system. Any ideas or suggestions from testers are always welcome.

Yea it broke it. The new version is going to go back to the standard save text appearing on the screen only. Creating text documents as it stands right now is too unreliable. I might continue using both methods should I find a way to make it reliably work in the future, however, it was taking a lot of time as it was to bug test that system. I am trying to keep my focus on a huge content release.

I'm really excited for the updates I have been putting into this game, and I'm trying to push it out as fast as I can.

Hello there,I love your map so much.By the way,I'm not a American.I'm from Taiwan.
I want to ask whether you mind that I turn this map into Chinese version.In order to promote this map in my sever.
I haven't done it yet.Also,this is nonprofit act. Hope you can agree this.

There is one suggestion here.Would you like to add a botton which is able to destory minerals? I am usually bothered by those minerals in wrong place.
They blocked the place I want to build tower or others.

I'm excited about the upcoming version.Hope to see you soon.

MineralZ 1.3 is practically abandoned somewhat.. the original files were lost and the BioEngineering Bay was left unfinished.

(There's nothing useful from it, though you should still figure out the secret to unlocking it for fun on your own)


MineralZ 1.4, or.. because it's so incredibly different I'll call "2.0" is still in its Alphas, and again.. unsure if it'll ever become released. :c

yes you can save between waves.
as far as i know yes the save/load system is only for credits so saving after bosses is pretty much all that is needed
though there is a title system ( which is already in the game since a earlier patch but need a bit of work to work properly )

it doesn't save your game.
it juste create a folder where text files will be recorded on your disk drive C://mineralz
inside that folder each time you -save there will be a new text file but the way it is done won't let you create multiple of the same one
if you go in there find the -load xxxxxxxx number that is the lowest in the text file so that it is the right one ( you just have to ctr+c it then in game ctr+v to load it ) ( ctr+c = copy and ctr+v = paste )

if you want to resume a game you started but didnt finish you might want to try the old fashion way that is F10 save game then try loading custom game instead of creating a new one ( can't guarantee it will work since i never saved a moded game )

hope i answered your question

Hey, please don't quit working on this map. It's honestly the best wc3 map I've ever played and what made me come back to wc3 after a year or so.

Btw a suggestion I have is to allow shifting a lot of buildings, since every time you shift more than 2 buildings, your character will just work on the one they're currently building, build the next shifted thing then stop.

That's an intended feature, though was removed in MineralZ 1.4
