Modding Oddity
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Whenever I run my mod, the Dark Templar names appears as "Unused Zerg 3" and the Warp Gate name is "Unused Bldg." Also, their wireframes appear as "BLANK." I haven't edited either of these units in any of the files, so I have no clue what's wrong. I don't know which file to post for you guys to see, so could you tell me which one would have to be edited in order for the names and wireframes to be messed up?
Sounds to me like something got corrupted. Do you have a stat_txt.tbl file in your mod? If so, try removing/renaming it and see what happens. As for the wireframes, I have no idea, never having edited them before.
None.

Oh god, I'm stupid. I extracted the wireframes and the stat_txt from Stardat, so the units from Brood War weren't in there. T_T I fixed it now.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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[2026-6-20. : 6:15 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.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 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
