Blackout (by Tickles)

<<The United States, China and Russia headed the hostilities leading to World War 3 in 2021. In the aftermath of the chemical onslaught between each country and their respective allies, the result left a monstrous cloud covering the majority of the globe which blocked out the sun and sky.
Due to the hazardous levels of chemicals polluting the air and causing various defects to living organisms, both internal and external, many healthy human survivors, still unaffected, were forced underground. However, there was no conclusive solution to clear up Earth's atmosphere anytime soon, and the affected population quickly began to lose their sanity. Death became a blessing to many, but murder, rape and cannibalism became commonplace for those left above ground. [...]>>

Explain the mechanics of the SetUnitPosition function and it's faster alternatives
SetUnitPosition takes a unit and a Location and moves the unit to that location, while obeying pathing rules. it also interrupts units orders while doing so.
SetUnitX and SetUnitY are a faster alternative, and they do not interrupt a units orders but, they can send units out of the map bound potentially causing Warcraft 3 to crash and the unit may be moved onto a location that is Unpathable for it

The Hive had been mentioned previously in one of their WarCraft III sites.

I never stumbled on these functions. Guess we learn something new everyday :O

Wow, blizzard mentioned Hive. That's damn cool!

So you're fighting for being mentioned rather than trying to make the site recognized and receive what other fansites receive from Blizzard? Maybe i would have had a better impression about the place. Like reporting, making articles, videos, streamings, telling Blizzard 'Look at us we are presenting your NEW game!' And Blizzard may have a spot on this site.

I have not given StarCraft 2 my full attention yet, so I find it very cool that we are being linked to with what we have so far.

Don't bother giving it your full attention either. It would've made sense way back, but now you've lose your momentum and with it any chance of competing with dedicated Sc2 communites.

Besides, you can't just force another game upon a pre-existing community, these things must and will always come natural. You may not want to accept this, but that's the way things are and how they're going to remain.

Yes, you can. You just need to change the site to something more than what it is now. It is never too late to add new games and bring more attention to them if you also show yourself to Blizzard - whether it would be organizing something, a modding contests or such, whether streaming or presenting something on youtube like Blizz new games. And doing so many times until you get known.

You aren't doing it for me but for the site. As usual, I was just suggesting - nothing more - you don't have to do 'as I say'. The reason why I show concern when I just go elsewhere rather than waiting THW to turn more to newer games is because when someone is interested in trying out some games in beta, this would have been an opportunity if Blizzard gave you keys and people participated in some raffle. Also a lot more people would come.

Imagine your site being posted on Blizz's giveaways page. Though I cannot expect it so... doesn't matter, it's really not a big deal for me. I was just throwing in some idea, not gonna talk about it more.
 
how many BJs are there?
hmmm,this might include the following i think:
bj_lastCreatedUnit
bj_forLoopAIndex
bj_forLoopBIndex
bj_mapInitialPlayableArea
bj_lastCreatedDestructable
bj_wantDestroyGroup
BJDebugMsg
LoadRealBJ
LoadIntegerBJ
LoadStringBJ
LoadLightningBJ
LoadDestructableBJ
LoadTextTagBJ
LoadUnitBJ
LoadPlayerBJ

thats all i know
