Some additional alert-rules

In another post davehill posted some banshee-rules.
His rules (grouped to one number) and some protoss-alerts are posted here - I will update that post, if there are new ideas.

Code:

500;T;Banshee 1 out! ;true;83>0;
500;T;Banshee 2 out! ;true;83>1;
500;T;Banshee 3 out! ;true;83>2;
500;T;Banshee 4 out! ;true;83>3;
500;T;Banshee 5 out! ;true;83>4;
500;T;Banshee 6 out! ;true;83>5;
501;T;First ghost out!;true;78>0;
501;T;Ghostacademy built!;true;53>0;
502;P;First immortal out;true;111>0;
502;P;Observer incoming;true;110>0;

I really miss the researches here


File-Suggestions by davehill:

I haven't had time to test it yet and it was produced after a few bottles of whine
So its likely there's some errors although i haven't caught any yet.

But here is a very extreme generic protoss alert system designed to inform the user about all things the protoss are up to with the current alert system.

Now that Hatschi has created a multi config tool i have ideas to make 2 more alert based systems to go along with this one. 1 for Zerg and 1 for Terran.
Of course this type of alert system would be overly intrusive for anything other than 1v1 and even in 1v1 it can get a bit busy but the cool thing is these alerts are like a block of wood they can be carved up to your own needs by subtraction which is possibly faster than adding.?
I mean who is ever going to build 8 stargates or 25 phoenix's? but they are in just in case

There's also a few counter examples just to give users an idea of how these basic alerts can be extended.

Very nice!

Please group similar rules to the same number (see my example).
And please use code-Tags.

Maybe you could do that while i continue with the terran and zerg alerts?


Not that i mind doing it but i am kind of squeezed for time so any help would be highly appreciated.

No Problem - see my first post.

Nicely done theUnknownDead !!!
But you forgot to add your name to the credits in the alerts

Thanks. Credits for taking your rules into a file???

An additional suggestion: If we can keep the rules up-to-date on this server, we could provide a tool, that can fetch the most updated rules from here.

Very interesting idea but I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag and I know the devs are really busy.

A question, do you think its better if initially I start the Terran alerts from say 100? ...that gives plenty of expansion slots for the existing Protoss alerts.
Then the Zerg from 200 as that would allow me to join all 3 alerts into the mother of all alerts
Or do you think they should remain independant?

It could then be downloaded and placed in the root of sc2mapPro and used against all 3 races inc random.

... good question.
The problem with random is the biggest. So we should merge them. Yes, begin at 100 with terran, aso.

Cool, will continue with Terran alerts.dat asap
Still working on some more markers but that shouldn't take too long.

I've nearly completed the Terran alerts.dat and noticed that using the new grouping rules as suggested doesn't seem to trigger the alerts in the way intended.
To be honest I've never used the grouping method before although i first seen it implemented by haxmap but that was before the multiple buildings bug was resolved.

The ungrouped method I originally used still seems to work ok my setup.

Here's the examples. Original method working. both rax triggered correctly.

#Alerts configuration file
#Copyright Artek 2010
#Opening tactics alerts
#Race;TextMsg;ShowOnMinimap;Units;
#Units: ID_Model-NoOfModels

100;T;Gas 1 Started!;true;47>0;
101;T;Rax 1 Started;true;48>0;
102;T;Rax 2 Started;true;48>1;


----------------------------
New grouping method Not working 2nd rax not triggered.

#Alerts configuration file
#Copyright Artek 2010
#Opening tactics alerts
#Race;TextMsg;ShowOnMinimap;Units;
#Units: ID_Model-NoOfModels

100;T;Gas 1 Started!;true;47>0;
101;T;Rax 1 Started;true;48>0;
101;T;Rax 2 Started;true;48>1;

Any ideas ?
Is it a bug or something isolated to my setup or something simple I am overlooking?

I really don't mind using the old method but its not so easy to edit later on especially if we get additional alert operators or units in production.

Groups were originally put, to let the users to select only one alarm per type:
Each group, can be displayed only once per game.

For example:

101;T;Rax 1 Started;true;48>0;
101;T;Rax 2 Started;true;48>1;

Will display only the first.

1;Z;Possible Fast 6 Drones rush from player %2;true;132=7-117=1;
1;Z;Possible Fast 8 Drones rush from player %2;true;132=9-117=1;
1;Z;Possible Fast 10 Drones rush from player %2;true;132=10-117=1;

Means that only one of these alarms will be displayed.

hehe that explains it.

Looks like I'll use the old method then which is fine by me.
thanks for the clarification

Yeah, thanks for this info. So lets delete my current file

1 step forward and 2 back but the alerts must go on
hehe
