Let me show you how to hump without making love.

I cannot place any units, buildings, etc. Anything within the Units tab just does not respond.

Don't give me a simple, retard answer like, "Turn on "Place Units Anywhere." I know how to use Draft.


Deleting everything worked, topic hasth served it's purpose in life.

Right-click once in the SCMDraft window and try selecting units again. This works when I encounter something similar.

Yeah, I already tried that. I can select units and delete units just fine. However, I cannot place any. This includes copy/pasta.

Restarting does not work, opening new maps does not work... I guess I will just reinstall...Well, that didn't work.

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

Try messing around with compatibility modes.
I can't save/open map files with Win98/ME compatibility mode.

I'm on 7 and I tried what you said, nothing worked. I do not know where the cache or anything like that is, so I can't 100% renew my SCMDraft.

Search "scmdraft" in your regedit to find things like that:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stormcoast Fortress

I'm on 7, too. I never had that problem. :(

Alright, the whole thing is starting to not respond and nothing else on my PC is bugging like this, so how do I completely remove everything without searching and deleting for a long time. The uninstaller seems to tell me to fuck off by removing the things that are easiest to find.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
