Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself :)
I am DeM)s., and the concept of creating something cool (like a map!!) really appeals to me. Even though I may not be very good at it (i think so at least :P) I still like the feel of doing it. I'm trying to make one map right now and it's called Battle for Middle-Earth, you can look it up I posted some stuff about it on the UMS Forum :D
Anyways just wanted to say hi.. so... hi :P

Welcome. +1 Karma.
I hope your map gets done. Not many maps here at SEN get finished.

Welcome to the forum. Don't know if your self-deprecation is accurate, but if you feel you need to improve your skills, you can always check out the wiki. 'Fore I joined, I learned nearly everything I know about StarCraft mapping from just randomly browsing around there. [wiki=Hyper Triggers]Hyper triggers[/wiki], [wiki=Sprites]sprites[/wiki], [wiki=Terrain#Extended Terrain]extended terrain[/wiki]... If there's a useful mapmaking technique, we've got it documented.



DeVouReR, I absolutely love having that wiki-link feature on the forums.

@[Super Duper;) Thanks! I will most definitely check those links out!
@DavidJCobb, thanks too I will check those links out too to see if I can scrape together any juicy information to help me :D

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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

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.
[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 :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
