Top 5: What to do while your map compiles?

[Zwiebelchen]

Here's my list:

#5: Suddenly realizing you forgot to change the version number in the loading screen

#4: doing my tax declaration

#3: good old porn

#2: building the Eiffel tower out of macaroni

#1: watch the whole LotR trilogy in extended cut. And still be done before the map has finished compiling

Suddenly realizing you forgot to change the version number in the loading screen

In map scenario, map filename, map loading screen...

 

[Dr Super Good]

Use StarCraft II where even the most complex map still compiles before your next birthday.

based on recently actions:

# Try to remember if I changed the x from zero to real value...

# Listening youtube: KARMA - Progressive Psytrance Mix 2014, to give myself enough good vibrations. (fkn good prog techno from minute 43:50)

# Slamming my head against the keyboard because the unconscious Ctrl + s press while coding.

# Trying to understand how could it's possible that "Lensman" novel was created on 1938.

# Trying to convince myself that it's the last try...

#5 Facepalm because I have realized that I didn't disable the ObjectMerger scripts when I saved the map
#4 Facepalm again because I didn't close the map
#3 Facepalm because I forgot to enable the ObjectMerger scripts
#2 Facepalm because I repeated #5
#1 Wait for the water to boil so you can drink some coffee

1. Stay in anxiety and hope nothing went wrong;
2. Go to hive to look for some posts from Dr Super Good about how SC2 is better than WC3;
3. Yawn and bask in my own proudness;
4. Tab in the current game I am playing and then completely forget about the editor;
5. Update facebook sta-- I mean go chat with friends to see how they're doing and tell them how I'm good at mapmaking (not proud).

4. Watch something if the process takes long time
5. Advertise the coming new version or whole new map everywhere

1. stare at the screen for a few seconds while it compiles

Everytime.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I have a new number one, actually:


Watching the PC crash while compiling, destroying 2 hours of work. >_>

 

[Kazeon]

Not sure. I always feel kind of dizzy and nervous at the moment I'm about to compile and publish my maps for the first time. So I can't remember anything I was doing at the time.
While in normal case, I'm just staring at the screen and wait. While thinking about next things I'm going to do.

While the map compiles.

- I travel to the future where the map is done compiling.

SO EZ...
