Custom Sprite List?

I was playing through qPirateKing's Deep Blue and noticed that he had placed a sprite for the groundwork of a terran building. (Starforge Sprite 270 with "Draw as Sprite", "Flag 10" and "Blocks View??" ticked) Another one would be Sprite 271 with the same ticks. (Creates another Terran ground work thing.) I was wondering if there's a list of these sort of sprites that are odd and don't crash.

You can always make your own.

Search the wiki/make a page.

That's weird how it worked in his map, but yeah, the link posted has a nice list of disabled sprites, something a bit different from what he did, but most terran buildings are half built when you do it to them, they're kinda funky though, like missle turrets are half built, but still have a turret.

If the list says something that messes up your plans in a map, I would test it myself first, since these things change based on patch and map, and maybe what I noticed differs depending on the situation.

Eh, I was just hoping there was some super secret text file somewhere that told you of all the oddball sprites since Deep Blue was made in 2005.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 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
