It might be possible to call other function pointers or maybe even custom functions through the use of an overflow in BIN dialog control IDs.

After disassembling Starcraft 1.00, I know that BIN Dialogs are layed out like this:

-> Load dialog with dialog loop function.
The Menu dialog loop consist mainly of 4 cases.
0 = Main Dialog
1 = Standard Cancel
2 = Standard OK
10 = User Array

The "User Array" calls a function pointer in an array that I consider to be the "Control ID Index Array". It's used for menu or static dialogs that have control IDs above 0. This is where the overflow comes in, referencing a control ID beyond the bounds of the array.

For most BIN Dialogs, the control IDs are as follows:
0: Main Dialog
-2: OK
-3: Cancel
Positive: Function Array reference
Negative: Unused/Static index

Thoughts? Attempts?
I havn't tested it out yet.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
