Yeah, my map has over 2000 triggers, and I have to add a single condition to each of them, it's the simple switch one, clear trigger, but that would be hours and hours of work if I did it manually.

Is there a word processor that is able to appropriately copy/paste the " " they use in SCM Draft with the find and replace tool? So far MS Word only lets me use the tool for everything that is not bracketed. Anyone got any clever ideas? If I were able to do one ever 5 seconds, as is, then it would take well over a couple hours of straight max speed trigger work to do this, which I don't have time for.
So uhh, has anyone ever had to do this before? If so, how did you do it?



None.

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Notepad ++ lets you do multiple lines when searching/replacing. Search for Conditions:, or whatever, then replace it with:

Conditions:
Deaths("blah",blah,blah);

You may have to press shift + enter to the the new line in the output box.

I also did that with MS Word XP (2002) too. But to allow special characters to be included you need to dig in the advanced options of the find/replace dialog. Maybe you have to use wildcards like this:
Replace
"Trigger( *
Bring * ");"
With
"Trigger( *
switch(Switch 1, Set);
Bring * ");"
I'm not entirely sure if that's the right formula, but I know I had this problem too once and I somehow managed to do it.

If you can find Devilesk's text trigger duplicator it is good for doing these things <.<.

Why 'find' it? It's in the Maplantis file database.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[06:15 pm]
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.
[03:43 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:
