Update from 2021-09-13: 2) Events system 2a) General changes - Added "Auto-block" and "Blocked" event property. If "Blocked" flag is set, the event won't execute even if all conditions are true for that event. If "Auto-block" is set, then event will automatically block itself when it is executed. The "Auto-block" is basically "Execute once" behavior without using an additional "Flag" condition and "Set Flag" event, the flag is integrated into the event itself. 2b) Original event type changes Allegiance: Added "Both-sided" option so you can change diplomacy in both directions within a single event Play Sound: Can now have two types: "Global" (original behavior) and "Point" (will make sound at specific coordinates) Set Cash: Should work without crashes, added three operations: "Set", "Plus" and "Minus" Set Tech: Added option to immediately update available buildings and units Reveal map: Radius 0 (reveal whole map) will properly reveal radar map Show Message: Customizable message duration (the Unknown value is now used as duration in ticks) 2c) New event types Switch My Side: You can now change the side you play as (like the Debug feature) in the middle of mission. You can also turn off AI on side you switch to and turn on AI on side you switch from. "Reveal Base" option will also reveal tiles seen by buildings of the target side. Hide Map: Hides all map (like Hide Map crate type). If executed periodically, it can be used to simulate "Fog of War" mechanics - useful to mimic "darkness" (like inside caves). Un/block Event: Changes the "blocked" state of specific event Damage Tiles: Will cause damage to specific tile, like it was hit by specified weapon, without shooting a projectile. "Player": The side which gets score for killing buildings/units. "Pixel position": Pixel-precise target coordinates: [16 , 16] = center of tile, [0 , 0] = top-left, [31 , 31] = bottom-right "Rand. spread": Random inaccuracy (like Death Hand) in X and Y axis in pixels (32 = 1 tile) "Spread type": Random distribution in either square (rectangle) or circe (ellipse) shape "Hit explosion": Whether to show weapon's hit animation at target point Add Unit: Add a single unit at specified place. The unit can move in any direction after it is spawned: "Random": works is same way as when a building is destroyed/sold and infantry coming out of it will move in random direction Specific direction: works in same way as when a unit comes out of barracks/factory Add Building: Adds building at specified place. You can add building either with or without concrete, either instantly or with buildup animation, and also add refinery without a harvester coming with it. Add Projectile: Shoots projectile of a specific weapon from source position to target position. Source position is always center of specified tile. For target position you can specify "Pixel position" and "Rand. spread" in same way "Play sound": Whether to play weapon's firing sound from source tile Note that the distance from source to target is limited due to computation limitations to about 70 tiles. Add Explosion: Makes an animation at specified position. "Player" will specify color of deviator dust. You can specify "Pixel position" and "Rand. spread" in same way. "Play sound": Whether to play explosion's sound from the tile Add Crate: Add any type of crate during game. "Ext. data": Extension data, have different meaning for each crate type "Respawns": Number of respawns of Spice Bloom Spawner "Expiration": Time in ticks after which crate will disappear or spice bloom rises/explodes Add Concrete: Add concrete for specific side. If "Tile bitmask" is zero, it fills specified area with concrete (only buildable tiles). If "Tile bitmask" is nonzero, it places concrete of defined shape (up to 4*4 size, only buildable tiles) and reveals the tiles. Spice Bloom: Simulates explosion of a spice bloom crate at specified place. Shake Screen: Shakes screen for specified duration of ticks Center Viewport: Centers camera view at specified place. If executed periodically, it locks the screen. Change Map Block: Changes tiles at specified place to different tiles. Maximum is 12 tiles in single event due to data size limitation (i.e. 4*3 area, 2*6 area). If the target tile is not buildable, buildings and concrete on it will be destroyed (except buildings which do not require concrete). If target tile does not have "drive on" attribute, vehicles on it will be destroyed. If target tile does not have "walk on" attribute, infantry on it will be killed. If target tile does not have "sandy" attribute, spice on it will be removed. If target tile has "occupied by building/unit/infantry" attribute, units on it will be killed in respective way. Tile attributes will be changed to target tile's attributes, but building/unit owner will be preserved. Transform Tiles: Similar to "Change Map Block", but you can globally change specific tiles across whole map into their target counterparts. You can specify up to 6 "from-to" tile pairs. Change Tile Attributes: You can change attributes of tiles in specified map area. Either set attributes to absolute balue, or add or remove specified attributes. Change Tile Damage: Manipulates with tile's "Damage" property. The rock and sand craters are driven by tile's damage property (the more damage the bigger craters). You can set damage of tiles in specified map area to specific value or add/substract specific amount of damage. The damage range is 0 (healthy) to 255 (biggest craters). 3) Bug fixes - When you change side you play as using Debug menu, it will restore to original after restarting map (does not work when you save game with the side changed and load it back) - Exclude OPTIONS.AUD and SCORE.AUD music tracks from random music rotation 4) Extensions and improvements - Preserve original tiles beneath spice, concrete and building skirt tiles after spice/concrete/building is removed - Concrete pre-paced on map using specific tiles having "concrete" attribute will be indestructible - Spice works properly in tilesets where spice and buildings can be placed on same tiles (i.e. Red Alert) (you cannot place buildings on spice but can place them where it was harvested, spice blooms won't create spice underneath buildings) First post edited and download link updated.
