Hi,
So I learned today that UNIx/UNIS will not update any unit settings unless the flag for saying the unit settings aren't default is set.
See:
http://www.starcraftai.com/wiki/CHK_Format#.22UNIS.22_-_Unit_SettingsConfusingly I would think a flag of 0 meant to use default values, but 0 means use custom values.
Curious that the flag can be set to 1 but you can still store in the CHK the modified values and SC will happily ignore them.
None.
That is good design - that way if you disable custom settings, and later re-enable them, you didn't lose what you had configured.

hmm I guess I am thinking from writing UNIx programmatically.
I wouldn't add custom settings if I didn't intend to use them.
I guess from using the GUI it makes more sense to do it this way.
None.
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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
