**edit January 30th 2011 - I uploaded the build order tester to europe for use there. The map is called Build Order Tester by qxc - if you search for qxc you'll find it.**
You get a CC and 6 scv's and a set of mineral patches and geysers. Nearby there is an empty expansion.
When you type -reset the minerals/gas all reset and all your units are removed. You are then given another CC and 6 scv's. Also the time elapsed is displayed upon reset.
Thus this allows you to easily and quickly test a build order over and over without having to reload the page. Also since it gives you the time elapsed (in seconds) it allows easy comparison.
***Terran/Protoss/Zerg Supported***
-reset T
-reset P
-reset Z
give you a T/P/Z starting base + workers respectively.
I also moved the expo further away to prevent weird auto mining stuff

**** New version uses terrain as provided by superior wolf as well as the introduction of timer. Also supports all 3 races. Download link updated.
****2.2
Now resets research when using the -reset commands
****2.3
Reset now removes units instead of killing them
Zerg hotkey now restarts the game
added support for hotkeys
Changed the reset commands
*** New reset hotkeys *** Typing T/P/Z will reset for the given race respectively
Shift+1 / Shift+2 / Shift+3 also reset the game for P/T/Z respectively (it's alphabetical)
****2.4
fixed problem where geysers were being removed upon reset
*****************************************************************************************************************
Update May30th | Thanks to all the positive feedback thus far. I created this map originally as a tool to help me practice builds in an efficient manner. Due to RL stuff + various sc2 competitions I have no further plans to update and/or maintain the build order tester. Please see isbunk's thread for the newest updates at http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=127833.
Notable changes include that the tester is now on real maps such as desert oasis and kulas ravine.
Interested in seeing more of my maps in the future? I post all my creations on my twitter qxc0000.

| Ooh, this should be really helpful. I've got all sorts of silly cheeses that I've been meaning to perfect. I'll try it out soon, thanks a lot. |

there is no place for racism on this forum!!! Add toss and zerg!
good idea for a simple training map though, props. |

| I would test this if it weren't so late here but does the map inherently come with a timer display? That is while you're testing the build is there a clock somewhere ticking away so you know that at exactly 5 minutes you have your first ultralisk out (lol) ? |

| I couldn't figure out how to make the timer work and didn't feel like investigating further. When I tried to start a timer via trigger and have it display said timer it would just display a timer window with 0 seconds displayed and it would never tick. If someone knows what the deal is with timers I'll fix it... |

| I have an issue with scvs going to mine the far away minerals for the expo after i get an scv on each mineral patch or if i screw up my split a little bit and send 4 scvs to the top mineral patch. Simple fix, just put a cliff or make the other mineral fields farther away. And is there any way to change the speed to faster, i feel like my scvs are crawling towards the minerals. |

| Also when starting as zerg it doesn't start you with 3 larva, only one. |

Aw man, I just spent an hour making the map pretty and making it Zerg version with an additional timer that shows time elapsed each time after a reset and then making all the minerals reset amount of resources too... only to come back and find out that you just made a zerg version! Anyway, if anyone wants to see what I did with the map... (basically just made it zerg version, new timer, 3 larva on spawn (not attached to hatch though), terrain and new expo layout (7 mineral natural), no broodlings spawn after buildings die, fixed pan camera, all resource reset, game speed default set to faster, etc)

qxc, this can show you how to make the timer window and timer click you need to use a variable and i used three triggers

thanks for making the map qxc! i had some fun wasting time  and im not a very good mapmaker so it was cool to see how you made some triggers (i had no idea how to kill all units on map until now, i was trying to do that earlier but they didnt have a specific trigger like in old SCedit.) Also it let me see all the improvements made to the editor (now I can open a file directly and also the data editor is much more organized!) xDLast edit: 2010-05-23 16:18:59 |

I tried searching for the answer, but how do I install and create a game with this map?
I found a maps folder in documents/sc2beta/maps so I put it there, but when I go to create a game, I don't have an option to search by folder or anything.
I looked on other maps websites and couldn't find the answer, but perhaps I am just not looking hard enough.
Will someone please assist me?
Also, thank you very much for making this map. I'm sure when I figure out how to use it it'll be exactly what I'm looking for. |

Open the map with the map editor found in the same directory as sc2.exe, then ctrl-F9 to test the document.
To run the map faster go to File>Preferences>Test Document>Game Speed
EDIT: Forgot to thank the OP for their hard work, ty.Last edit: 2010-05-23 17:32:21 |

This is really great. I am using it constantly, and really shaving precious seconds off of my first stalker.
A quick note, though:
There is a small bug. The probe I have in the assimilator when I type -reset p isn't destroyed so I end up with 7 probes (one is hanging out by the geyser). It's not a big deal since all I have to do is not use that probe, but it does show up in my food count which can throw me off if I don't remember that there is an extra probe. And of course you can just hit -reset p twice. Also, for some reason, the gas isn't being reset when i -reset p.
All in all, though, a seriously awesome whosawhatsitLast edit: 2010-05-23 18:19:58 |
