Starcraft 2 beta patchs thread

Cambios no listados en las notes del 0.9

ZERG

(1) the bar indicating the procedure of larva spawn now goes from left to right.

(2) it adds another bar for hatch/lair/hive upgrate. In the previous version it just replaces the larva spawn bar.

(3) press "select larva" in hatch/lair/hive now select all the zerg eggs if there is no larva.

(4) most exciting: now you can cancel a egg and make it back into a larva with 0 cost of any resources! Canceling building/morphing still costs.

(5) most sad: I dont give a shit to the stupid warpgates. Why I have to change all my zerg important hotkeys (burrow, spawn larva, parasite, etc) just for a protoss hotkey that I may never use? (I have to parasite a probe and build a lot of stuff to use the hotkey.) I know I can set them back by hand, but i just dont see why we zerg should make this sacrafice.

#6 zerg moves alot slower on larva and outside of it

#7 zerg buildings now bleed

#8 Neural Parasite casts faster (tentacle shoots out quicker)

#9 drone bug where if you tell it to move right after it starts to morph into a building, it cancels the building (some resources lost) is now fixed.

#10 All zerg buildings now have animations for whenever they are researching/upgrading/building anything. often times they just move around faster

creep tumor seems to spread creep faster, not 100% sure
new creep tumor texture, new baneling egg morphing texture.

health bars no longer turn yellow if they lose any damage at all. now they stay greenish while theyre at high HP

new mouse cursors for each race

the preview of any structure before it is morphed by zerg, now is no longer translucent, it looks exactly the same as if the structure was finished.

when you tell a spire to morph into a greater spire, there's a totally sweet animation!

new hydralisk range upgrade icon. (used to have the same one as Roach Burrowed Movement upgrade)

Protoss

Protoss buildings now have little bolts of electricity flash around when low HP AND low/empty shields (in BW, the blue flames always showed even if shields fully regenerated)

new texture for Fleet Beacon. high templar warping in looks different

Terran

hellion's flame is now blue, it may be because i researched the Pre-Igniter upgrade is what I'm guessing

General

Can no longer target spells/abilities on your buildings or units by clicking on their icons in the selected unit panel. This means you cannot Spawn Larvae nor Chrono Boost by clicking on the building icons wtf?! same goes for other abilities like Repair, Transfusion. seems like a bug rather than an intentional change, makes no sense to not be able to use actions on unit profiles.

COOL BUG FIXES:
Right clicking somewhere while holding CTRL no longer gives the Attack-Move command, it just Moves. Often people would re-bind hotkeys while trying to run away and it would Attack-Move and suicide instead.

not a bug fix but If you Select Larva (hotkey S) but there are no larvae left to select, it selects all the morphing eggs instead. should eliminate the possibility of that annoying accidental Ventral Sacks Research

New sound effects and some lightly edited music (& 1 new protoss track)

Can now Bind Locations like you could in SC1. CTRL + F5 - F8 binds the camera location, F5-F8 recalls those locations. useful for rally points, warp-in, mule'ing, etc.

8 new player colors (possibly only accessable by map editor? dunno, depends on max # of players in a multiplayer game)

a window now pops up showing the countdown to being revealed (25 sec), when you lose all of your town halls

all types of units now have a Rank description, like Disciple, Predator, General, etc
