Hate to be that guy, but I did try to specify that in the description.

Completely in desync normally (Single Player).
Had to go through Multiplayer then Local Area Network (UDP) for it to work better.
Some things near the end may still have had a weird timing.
Otherwise, quite ok.
Just...I don't know what S.O.B means, and it seems important

I am not sure, but the voice and the subtitles and everything play a little weird :s

The name problem has been fixed, or at least it should be for now.
The deal with the story was I heard it first here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/5116
So I decided to make a movie map out of it. I contacted the creator of the audio file, and he said it was fine. The difficult part about making this map was all the in-game sounds were actually in a single .wav file. I had to time all the triggers to have the actions occur the same time as the file was being played. There was a lot of math involved.
This is why the game only supports one player because lag makes the audio and events out of sync.

You have to change the map name for it to work...or at least I did, the map name had some weird characters in it. It was alright, kinda predictable, just uses sounds that you can get off the game track.

I think Gregg Allman's version of Midnight Rider is better than the one that he did with his brother/band.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
