StarCraft II Beta Stack Hack

[Darkunknown2]

I found that you can decrease the amount of block a building takes and   the colliding issues.  this is just a MPQ mod. Put the GameData in StarCraft II beta Directory and play.   Triples everything including starting bases(Command Center, Nexus).
 
  You   can easily edit this with notepad. GOOD LUCK!

  It   PROVES IT.

I cannot find how you made the units spawn in threes, can you show me where? (It's probably staring me right in the face, but I am having a brain fart right now, I can usually find these things.)

Thanks for this , it will really help me with my 100 simultaneous nukes  video.

Lol, kinda funny to see the buildings stacked together making a super defense haha, I'm gonna try it, just for curiosity

[Darkunknown2]

Yay, people like my release.  Stay tuned im coming up this a Protoss OVERPOWER and everything will stack!

You can't edit how much is spawned. It's only tripled because it's overlapping the MPQ so there everything is tripled.

Actually you can. Your idea intrigued me, so I started to look through the different XML files. In RaceData, you can see how many buildings are spawned, as well as SCV's, and starting cash. However, when I modded mine, I modded the Terran's only, and then no matter what race you pick in the launcher it forces you to be terran. I tried adding 12 marines to start with, but for some reason it didn't work, my guess is that the spawn offsets have something to do with it.

Will be forthcoming with any new info.

Just a reminder to those who can't read, this is in fact just a mod. It would not work publicly online.

I meant to say you cant control how much you can spawn from barracks, factory, etc.  I deleted the racedata.XML and there was 1 command center.  There is nothing in there that had to do with the amount of command centers you start with, however there is for the SCV's and it's tripled in game.  If i got rid of UnitData.XML it wouldn't spawn 3 at a time from barracks, factory, etc. UbliData.XML dosen't seem to triple anything.

I got super stack to work with Photon Cannons. I had to edit a couple different places though. Here is what I edited:


From UnitData - I made it look like this:

From AbilData I edited it to this:


<InfoArray index="Build8" Category="Army" Unit="PhotonCannon" Time="0">
            <Resource index="Minerals" value="10"/>
            <Button DefaultButtonFace="PhotonCannon" Requirements="HaveNexus"/>
        </InfoArray>


You won't need to edit Abildata, this just make instant build, lower/changed minerals and make it so you don't need to have a Forge to build. So you can just build next to any pylons.


Notice I changed "Seperation Radius" as well. This was at like 2, I think. Then I edited the footprint down to .5 .5 so I don't have to align to grid. You also will have to edit "Burrow" and "Ground" Or I wasn't able to stack them EXACTLY ontop of each other. If you use the code I posted, you can stack just like you could in SC1, directly on top of each other. If you don't change what I changed, you might end up getting you probe to give you the "Cannot reach the target" message.


Here is a test result:






Edit:


I might have changed some things I DIDN'T need to for it to work, I was tired of changing 1 thing and trying it though. If you change the settings I have for any unit you want to stack, it will work, I have tried with a few so far, no errors.
