Hear me Raor!!

This is a map idea I am working on for an rpg,
The unit that you control is only .1 scale of the map.
I have units that are normal scale/ .1 scale to show the difference as well.
I didn't mess with the units much so you might not be able to get very close to them :)
Attack is the mouse click, ... can't attack anything.. but the animation/ damage technically work.
and select your little unit at the begin of the map to zoom into him and start the system, ( Wont be like this in the rpg )
W ( = forward in the direction you are pointing with the mouse, when it first zoom in.. it might not be on the unit all the way. I am trying to fix it, but just move your mouse a bit and it just link up to the unit )
A+E Strafe will come next!
( My Computer sucks so it kinda lags, I just want to know if it does that on a good computer!!! )

You think its just to much to process the .1 scale at that zoom?
I might try like .5 then :(

( The unit may be choppy because I have not quite found the best settings for that scale )
Also in the map there wont be huge ass normal scale units, ( They really seem to slow down the computer lol )

This one does not have the big guys!!
also it should be better if you don't view the entire plane, I am going to not allow the camera to go all the way down to the ground, but i gotta figure it out first :)

Pretty cool. I noticed you can't get up close next to the stuff, are those the original sized unit/building footprints and is it possible to change them?



None.

I can't post the new one :(
I updated the map

( New way to move is you click the right mouse button, and use your mouse for your camera, W still goes with your camera, you can attack the zerglings with the left click, ( Their size is small so you might miss. )

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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