1: What number is this?
2: Does this process work for SCMs and non-BW maps?

None.

There are lots of blacks. All with different flashings on the units or on the minimap.
19 or 22 for example or i think 127 or some number near. There are many more.
Just try a few and find the one you like best.

And yes, it works for scm too.

Most of the unit colors beyond the default 17 (Or was it 16? Or 18? Whatever) tend to be tile-set specific. I imagine you're talking about Jungle terrain though, as it's the one most often used. Pure black would be 192.

For me, it changes for every map...

Watch out if using this, as clicking a flag of an extended colour crashes SC immediately.

Every kind of extended color? Didn't know that, just knew that in some games, if you click the flag, then the game crashes.



None.

136 is fully black on both in-game view and minimap.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Not every.
I made a map with all working colours before 1.14 came.
But 1.14 changed it.
But not every extended colored flag crashes.
You can still see talking portraits of other units if you click them, if that colour does not crash.

(my best effect was that sc created another map directory in the starcraft folder... I was afraid of seeing no maps ingame.)

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
