None.
Retarded upgrading
I was going to go on battle.net to discuss my map with some SEN dudes, but my computer is (as always) being used and TZ's computer (which I'm on right now) is on patch 1.15.1. When I connected to USEast, it downloaded the patch, but BSoD'd halfway through. When I restarted it and tried connecting to USEast, it started the download from the same point, finished it, and said it would restart SCBW. Instead, it went back to the gateway selection screen and gave me an error message about "The user has not been authenticated" or something.

Just reinstall SC...? Use the CD or just dl it off his bnet account (or torrent it).
None.
That would put it on the first patch and I've have the same problem. Plus I'm not going to mess with TZ's computer to that extent: If I break anything he might not let me use it any more.
None.
Just download an 1.16.1 patch from Blizzard's site and install that.
None.
IIRC the only way to fix the way TZ downgraded was to use the Brood War AI downgrader.

And as you can see, it got squatted as of last week.
I'm pretty sure there is another way, though.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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