hi

question, are there any mods that purely expand on the features of vanilla brood war? for example making the game 12+ players, removing firelag or other now arbitrary terrain/unit/sprite/location limits, etc

i'm impressed by what the koreans accomplished with wlauncher and their private fish server and always wondered if an equally well distributed, network-functional mod could add to that

maybe i don't understand the obstacles involved

There was a limit expander that IskatuMesk used for his Armageddon Onslaught mod, but I believe it was only functional for a specific version of Brood War (1.10).

It also had a bunch of unexpected problems because changing the limits for things is really complicated and involved. All the limits are extremely hardcoded, so you have to find every reference to them as well.

I'm not sure how difficult that would be at this point with Hercanic's work on his analysis of SCBW.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"
