Using BW Tech in SC original maps help

To be precise, I found a weird bug while trying to give the Restoration spell to the Queen. To do this, I moved the research button to the Queen's Nest, the use-spell button to the Queen (replacing the position occupied by the Parasite button), and changed the requirements as needed in FireGraft. Now, everything works fine in Brood War mode...however, when I am in vanilla StarCraft mode, three things happen:

(1) After I research the tech once, the research button is still there. I can research it again, and again, and again...WTF this is not an upgrade, I checked that
(2) No matter how many times I "research" Restoration, my Queens cannot use it (the button is greyed out, as though it hasn't been researched)
(3) The funny thing is, I modified the original Zerg AI script to research Restoration...which it does, over and over and over!

Apparently this is a problem only within original mode, because everything works as intented while in Brood War mode. Is there a way to circumvent this?

TLDR: Is there a way to use Restoration, tech research and all, in vanilla StarCraft?



None.

Since restoration is a brood war spell, I assume vanilla maps won't reference it correctly, because technically they have no idea what the fuck it is. So I would think you can't.



None.

Well dang I guess. Thanks for telling me this, though!



None.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
