ToB mentioned on TB's HotS wtfis

Watching his HotS vid and he apparently liked ToB from TFT.

On another related topic, has the ToB for SC2 made it in any shape or form?

[Cassiel]

Nope. Only got as far as creating demo versions of a few abilities, most of which you can see here. I'd still love to know if anyone can figure out that Shadow Strike hack, Blizzard employees included .

No words can describe how badly I want to play ToB/AoB on SC2, also could you elaborate on this Shadow Strike hack?

[Cassiel]

The one in this video. Not something SC2 is capable of doing, strictly speaking. I used a bug in the rendering engine. It mirrors how the original Bindu was made, actually. There was an unintended graphical twitch when the Sphere and Blink abilities were combined, and we exploited it to create the image trail, no scripting required, which resulted in a long thread on the B.net WC3 forums with people trying to figure it out. #winning

Ah ha, I see what you meant now. Even if it takes a couple more years you should add some more demos.

That stuff is still as awesome as on the first day. No one could have competed with AoB, not three years ago, and not in three years to come. It was Blizzard's biggest mistake ever not to try everything to get the ToB crew helm their shit, it was their last chance getting their foot back into the AoS market. Their ignorance just shows how much they really minded their mapping scene, and to be honest, I'm glad Riot and Valve are rofl stomping Blizzard's ass on that, who never deserved whatever modding scene they lost.

So did they improve the editor in HotS or is it still a clunky piece of shit?

[Cassiel]

No idea. Anybody pick it up?
