You have created great models here, but how about "freedom of use" ?

I was wondering:
- Let's say I will be able to apply some of models from "SC I" section into the game. Yet, I dun kno how to..
Let's say I did. Now, if I record a game with your new models and post it on youtube.

Would that be okay with rules to use these models in game on a streaming platform ?
About rules of original devs of the game. Do they allow such videos on streams (with modified models in the SC I) ?
Hopely they do...

Now to creating a text under a video...
Questions in mind :
Shout outs to this website, artists of models, if possible to respective artist's channels. That seems right and reasonable. Right ?

We do a little trolling

I think anything in the DLDB is free to use with no expectations of attribution, especially at this point decades after the stuff was originally created and uploaded. That being said, giving credit where it is due is never a bad idea, so may as well do so if you use it. But either way, no one's coming after you.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Yeah as UV suggested you can freely use everything you find here. You intend to give credit so you're actually doing a community service. I don't think Blizzard Microsoft will care.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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