Okay, you may have heard me talking about opening .PCX files a lot lately, and I've been asking for programs that are .PCX compatible. A lot of photo editing programs cost money and what not, or you'll need to download them and maybe you're just too lazy to download them.

Well if you're using Windows (this MAY not work for some Windows users, since I'm using such an old computer), I've found something in the Programs menu called "Microsoft Photo Editor". It's .PCX compatible and it makes me so happy =D.

Again, I may only have this program since my computer is so old.

And I need .PCX compatible programs so I can open StarCraft screenshots, I like to take screenshots of things I'm making in a map, or if I just find something purely amazing.

I'm so weird... Lol XD!

Now that you pointed that out, Moose.. I've now realized I've been pronouncing it "ifranview" in my head this whole time. I suck. Also, it's a kickass program besides the opening PCX files part. It can do a hell of lot more, such as compress gifs to an extremely small size without even noticing, IMO. It's great for a free program.

Irfanview also has kickass pngout, compressing your pngs to nearly nothing.

Thats so strange, I did that too O_O

Then I realised when I typed "Ifranview.com" into the address bar to dl it on another computer, I had to be mistaken.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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