File Description

Source code and output map are uploaded.

The width of two or more whitespaces differs from language to language in SC:R, and whether user purchase SC: R or not.

The width of whitespaces in Unpurchased, English SC, has largest width. DisplayText will break line with at least 124 whitespaces.
In Purchased, Korean SC, DisplayText with 171 whitespaces will break line.
The width of whitespaces is same in Purchased, English and Unpurchased, Korean SC. DisplayText with 206 whitespaces will break line.

We can measure the number of lines in last DisplayText, by calculating difference of 0x640B58.
Although Purchased, English and F2P, Korean SC have same whitespace width, we can distinguish them by whether screen width exceeds 640 pixels or not.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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.

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
