MineralZ 1.55(f)

[Zeatherann]

It's boring enough to play it, but simply watching it? Only if you're in a game of people that are always arguing.

 

[ryouzai]

That is your perception on these matters, i just wanna watch

I watched win11511's since I wanted to see what strategy he used.

P.S. I saw him shadowclick but only once and it was on his wall around 10 mins in.

That is your perception on these matters, i just wanna watch

I watch everything 8x speed always. Even then it takes like.. 15-20 minutes to watch a Mineralz game.

Post one , i'd like to watch

I'm not that good lol. Just a Slayer with 101. (Earned on 1.16c, Mighty on 1.15 beta 3)

Spoiler: I'm so bad, a way to kill wave50 boss very quickly.

Normal Mode

Don't tell anyone about this ^.~

2nd replay: Break my normal mode solo record 2hr09mins ^^ previous solo normal is 2hr16mins

My friend and I make what we like to call a 'Battery'. In the corner of our base we make around 50+ Tesla Turrets (3,000+ damage per second) and link it around the base. It takes the Uberlisk in around 10 seconds. It also obliterates the Queen before it gets to do anything significantly devastating like it did to Win11511 and destroyed over 40 buildings.

I have built hundreds of Tesla, but can not quickly kill

Tesla link damage have caps?

Yup and yup :3
Event:
The first person to beat wave 60 will get a custom miner receivable at the credit shop!

•You must post a replay
•Map version must be 1.28
•Post the in-game name you use
•Only the first person to post it will receive the miner

But I can always get my custom miner in another way if the map has it...

Hmmm.. anti-spoofing parameter. Discuss. ;d

 

[maddeem]

Spoofers gunna spoof.

 

[win11511]

We broke through the nightmare

No title ? ><

 

[maddeem]

dafuq... where'd you get that UI O.O
Yeah no title cuz nightmare is supposed to have 70 waves. I never got around to adding them tho D:

I like this UI

play mineralz Time :3

Website in Taiwan

wait 70 waves

 

[Zeatherann]

Cool, custom UI file in game directory. Wanna link me to it?

 

[maddeem]

Lil Update

 

[win11511]

WOW

 

[Zeatherann]

Interesting, Quetions:

• Will the stairs actually be walkable?
• Will said structure be randomly generated?
• Will the generation be biased like the temple?
• Will it provide any actual use? The zerg egg's only use is to kill stupid noobs and sabotage bases.
• If it's similar to the Orb, then it more or less useless and extremely limited.

Yes
Yes
Yes, wait wut. biased? lol
Kinda
I would say it is more useful than the orb. But I don't want to reveal what it does just yet. Though I will say, upon activation it has quite the flashy effects

========================Derp========================
Okay so let me give you guys some updates on 1.3 progress.
-The slow tower is done. However there is currently 1 tier at the moment. (I plan on adding at least 2 more tiers)
-The sludge getting stuck in random places has now been fixed
-I have implemented a "Partner Addon" to the wave spawning. This means I now have the ability to allow multiple zerg types to spawn per night. This allows me to make boss battles the way I intended to long ago.
**As of right now I have given the following waves partner zerg: 10, 15, 16, 30. I plan on adding more diversity to each wave, and I will try to remove repeated waves. I'd also like to say that I'm sure everyone here is going to thoroughly hate night 30 now.

 

[Zeatherann]

Since you're adding new features you've fixed all the bugs right?

What bugs?

 

[Zeatherann]

The several ones posted here since 1.28 came out?

 

[ryouzai]

What bugs?

>players if did not choose any option at beginning will stuck
>player who left during 1st day will cancel all players mining speed
>fission turret shoots slower (act weird) without power plant(generator) supply
>Generators with 700mp dont supply mana when the other is running out of mana in range (suppose stop supplying and let others continue supply)
>tier 6,7,8 (white yellow dark) wall sometimes dont regen itself after organic alloy is done.
>Reaper turret +400% only not 800%, perhaps its bug
>30 boss Sludge always run away to nowhere after mirror image
>20 boss YoungHive and 60 boss Large Tentacle Hive sometimes release tentacles and they can walk everywhere even has no space (walk on turrets and all buildings)
>Tesla towers tier 5 chain damage with 50 quantity will getting laggy when it shoot boss
>The map is perfect, just 1.28 release too many new effects which affect gameplay and consume a lot graphic memory etc: generator, regenerator, rockets, inferno. The game just getting heavier when late game especially the generators supplying all factories in base. Its no point to play with more than 4players or more than 1 base in map, the game might stuck or crash.
I'm saying these because people want to get rid of this burden during gameplay. Just saying if you can improve it or just leave it, we wish the best from your map.

 

[Zeatherann]

The fission turret thing is planned i think.
The tentacle thing is a 'feature' apparently too, which btw it a big turnoff for a lot of players. Even i haven't played much lately.
Late game is laggy with regen/power gen lightning effects, not much you can do though.

Can if possible to add a command -effect on/off
and also if we can manually set generators supply mana to particular buildings so that generators
wont happen in situation like only one support all nearby buildings until 0mana even there are few more generator nearby.

 

[Darnassus]

I forgot to post the bug where some reason the Detection Tower ( Upgrade from the Lamp ) the Generator is ALWAYS sending power to it. It never caps to max energy.

New cursor. olololololol

That's because the Tower is constantly losing power. Lol this isn't minecraft :O

D; But...

 

[Zeatherann]

The improved lamps upgrade doesn't affect it.

 

[maddeem]

It isn't a lamp though :O

 

[Zeatherann]

I know, I was explaining why it constantly needs to be powered.

 

[ryouzai]

I know, I was explaining why it constantly needs to be powered.

so that players can decide when to enable it to detect or not

 

[win11511]

I want to know when to update the

Estimated time ?

 

[Zeatherann]

After summer.

 

[Darnassus]

Spam.

^-- the above is spam.

 

[mzo52003]

Why does not the new version?

 

[maddeem]

I'll update it as soon as I can. But there is still more content to be added, and as of right now I cannot join any game on b.net. Therefore I am unable to test content. I haven't been active in the last two weeks due to me being swamped with paperwork. I decided to transfer schools last minute and my old school is holding on to my transcript, so yeah. Hope you guys have been enjoying summer as much as I have lol.

Not to mention I just now saw this post t.t

[mzo52003]

I do not know if there is honored to help you test?

 

[Zeatherann]

Suggested Idea for Boredom Relief

I'm sure Maddeem'd let me test, but also Maddeem; The game is just extremely long, boring, and monotonous. Two things would make it better.One: Cut waves in half. This eliminates duplicate/useless waves, and makes gameplay faster. Waves could remain the same difficulty, or make them slightly harder/weaker.And Two: Randomize waves. Each wave the spawned mob is choses from several types of waves, like normal (Zerglings, Hydralisks, ect), ranged (Infected Marines, ect), flying (forgot the names of the various flying creatures lol), destructive (Boomers, and anything else that kills blocks). You could also limit the waves as to not make a flying/ranged/destructive waves before the first boss, incase you are worried about making impossible first waves. This concept could even be expanded to the bosses, but that isn't needed. The zerg units would all have the same power and hardness (easy to test for). This means that at wave 13, a boomer, zergling, marine, and flying unit, all are equal in strength. Then you have an upgrade affect all zerg units that goes up in level each wave (or make zerg units heroes and literally give them an extra level) to make them stronger. This allows higher waves to be stronger.You talked about bosses having a secondary type of monster with them? Randomize that monster too maybe?

I say all this because it is sad when I no longer want to play this map, or my friends kill themselves on boss waves because it is no longer fun.

Edit: Oh, and a really annoying issue; Turrets do not tell if they attack air/land/both/none please add it.

 

[Tonex]

Scale the speed according to difficulty, i.e. easy 100% speed, normal 150% speed, hard 200% speed, nightmare 250% speed, and hell 300% speed. Or whatever is balanced.

 

[Zeatherann]

Speed? you mean time between rounds? The individual round is as fast as it can be. Shaving more time off it either makes each wave end with mobs exploding in daytime, or having no daytime. Since a round can't be shorter, make less rounds. Bosses every 5 waves instead of 10.

Side note: Why is there even daytime underground?

 

[maddeem]

Smoke and mirrors.

Meant the speed of everything. Day, night, all movement speed, building speed, attack speed, mining speed. This mainly stems from my interest in making the harder levels "harder" in the sense that you have to do things extremely quickly. It would technically be the same difficulty because your speed will still match the creep speed.

It's when the sun shines through the cracks in the ceiling.

 

[WaterKnight]

Are the bots hosting this map on Garena by any of the here present? They are blocking other games. Do not make them permanent.

 

[Zeatherann]

Hehe, hosting bots, hehe.

Any update news on this map?

 

[maddeem]

Hehe, hosting bots, hehe.

Any update news on this map?

Nay, my life has been pretty busy, and I don't have much time for modding anymore :/

 

[Zeatherann]

Awr, understandable.

 

[ryouzai]

FYI, your screenshots are very outdated since many years ago.

 

[Captivate]

Man, been a while,

I still support you Mad lol

Yeah University starting, things starting to get busy. I guess we wont be heavily active until December, and then the Summer Break, and of course small holidays.

Don't give up on Minz 2 though!! I will murder you if you do!! lol xD

But if you do decide to abandon it, implement that mini map over to Minz 1! You know how much dat map means to me. haha

 

[Zeatherann]

I hope with the coming changes this project still receives all the wonderful feedback and support it currently has.

 

[florin2010]

I seem to have a problem with this map. When i try to save it doesn't work. i type -save press enter and nothing comes up, this is pretty frustrating could anyone tell me what is causing this? is it because I'm playing alone on LaN or is it because of my game version (1.24 i think)

I'm not sure if the current multiplayer detection catches lan. Though I'm pretty sure it was specifically suppose to be able to do that. Ahh well, if you are unable to get into a multiplayer lobby I could send your a map that allows you to save in single player.

I would really appreciate that.
I'm gonna try reinstalling the game and see if that does the trick.

 

[florin2010]

Ok. Reinstalled game, patched to 1.21, map doesn't load.
Updated to 1.24e map loads and I can play just fine but the -save function still isn't working, I type -save press enter and nothing appears...only the suggestions and other link to s3 excoboard mineralz site
