I was wondering how to edit resources to a point where you can't see the numeral, and they're unlimited. Any answers?



None.

I think when it gets above like a million you no longer see the minerals, it's just a high number that does it.



None.

I don't know about resources, but the leaderboard can only display 59 pixels. All numbers are 7 pixels except for 1, which is 5 pixels. To edit resources this high, use an editor like scmdraft, which will allow you to type in the maximum (4 bytes) into any numerical field like resources. 2^31-1 is the most you'll be able to put in the value (any higher results in a negative number). Therefore, those resources aren't actually unlimited, but considering 2^31-1 is a huge number, you won't run out of money any time soon.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.

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:
