Some time ago i downloaded two map editors ("SC X-tra Editor" and "Scmdraft") that allowed to place more than 8 start locations. I made a map with 10 start locattions but when i created the game i saw only 8 slots. I was wondering if anybody has a map for more than 8 players or knows how to do that or if it is possible.
With that triggers and extra startpositions you could create a 8 player vs 4 computer (or just 3?) map somehow maybe. But the 12 is for neutral units anyway, so i doubt you can use it for the computer as a slot.
I have a friend named Softwarewolf which makes UMS maps and games exclusively. He has made an 8-player defence map with 4 comps, using this, so it definately is possible.
Hey, I know softwarewolf . I used chill with all those oldschool &Z Map makers. Those guys make the most complicated UMS in a few hours. I never had the patience with switches and gave up UMS making.
I've made a few dumb ums games... like "MIND CONTROL WARZZ!!!111" where every player begins with a bunch of dark archons and the objective is to mind control each other's. you die when you run out, and the last guy standing wins. it's pretty funny
