Is there anyway to get rid of the "BLFK" or w/e that appears in certain unit's Status boxes?



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

You mean BLNK that appears in the wireframe?

Short of modding, no.

It's BLANK, they just removed the vowel, and no, there is no way, if you really don't like it, avoid using units that were only made for use in the Mission Briefings.



None.

Aldaris was made only for the Mission Briefings?! What on earth. I remember killing him in one of the scenarios.



None.

Haha, that was actually a Tassadar, they just renamed him, if you click him he has the portrait, and while there is a unit for Aldaris, it has a blank wireframe.



None.

Wasn't Aldaris a scout? I MUST be mistaken...

Edit no that was Artanis.

Who was Aldaris? And also, how did the makers of Scmdraft create new units like Aldaris and the battlecruisers without modding? Why can't we do that now?



None.

SI hasn't created a unit. Blizzard did.
But since they didn't need the unit ingame they didn't care to create all aspects of it. See it as a dummy unit that just was given enough properties that it is useable in the briefing.
SI simply unlocked the access to that unit.

Interesting, that makes sense.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.

Ultraviolet -- don't count your chickens before they're hatched :P

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
