Is anyone doing a sc bw mod for spring ?

No one has announced any intention of doing such a mod.

I hear that Blizzard is real pissy about their stuff being ported to other games, it's a proprietary thing. And yes, I've heard about the WC3 mod, but think about it: WC3 is a Blizzard game, why the hell would they care if it was ported to that?

StarCraft: Xel'Naga Vengeance it's Total conversion (mod) for CnC: Generals - Zero Hour.

You'd need instant-hit and always-hit weapons, needless to say it's basically impossible. And don't get me started on shields or how much SC sucks.

yeah, it's best not to lose sight of the fact that StarCraft sucks in the first place

I wonder why everyone just gotta port their favorite game to a new format. The problem always becomes the whole "keeping truh to the orginole" and "making a NEW game".

Starcraft is dead, and had as much strategy in it as Diablo could be called an RPG

It's about the only thing you can do if you want to make a game and you don't have a team of artists backing you up with models and textures.

Thats not entirely accurate (CZTA, All those extra 3rd party races like Mynn and TLL, Operation Polaris, TA:IW, TA:DS, TA:MOD)

Come to think of it, why haven't OP, TA:IW and DS been portred to Spring yet?

Please dont make a SC TA mod. For one thing it wouldent work and for another...it wouldent work. THe resourse systems are so radicaly different i cant see a way of reconciling them

Torrasque · Post by **Torrasque** » 01 Jan 2006, 19:50

A StarCraft mod would be cool if you only keep the background, the units, etc...but don't try to make any similar gameplay !

I would love to see hundred of marines being charged by the double of zergling, having behemoth wich are not 10 times bigger than marines, but 100 times.
And finaly, siege tank with high trajectory, with a slow turret...not siege tank witch can hit zerlging while they're running.
A really cool Atomic Bomb..

etc.. etc..

Now THAT sounds like a much better idea:

"Starcraft: The GOOD version!"

Heh, heh, heh... I'd do it, if only to piss off SCers ^^

In my opinion, starcraft would be amazing with an adjustable unit cap, unlimated order and build queue. However, the game carries a lot of ambience, and without a suitable GUI, Spring as is doesn't feel like the original Total Annihilation so much as a new game. So making a mod that can even carry the ambience, much less the gameplay of the game really isn't possible right now.

As FizzWizz said, Blizzard really does not like use of their intellectual property. I've seen countless StarCraft inspired mods shot down by cease and desist orders, and even a full 3D StarCraft game dissolved far into its development (which is odd, seeing as how it would've required a legal copy of SC). And don't forget FreeCraft and BnetD.

Heh, if you REALLY want to piss em off (and I would support it all the way) is if you made a parody of a SC mod called Starcrap and made it extremely funny and fun. Kinda like that Duck Nukem mod.

You could probably make a fairly cool game if you just used the universe. And everyone just don't tell blizzard where they are.

I personally like "Starcrap: The GOOD version". Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed some games of Starcraft in my time, but why risk an attempt at making Starcraft when we could make an awsomely fun spoof of it?

Spring RTS Engine
