That's the map. I mixed textures from Port Zion, Bel'shir, and Xil, though that's probably superfluous information. The end result looks good in-game - except that the minimap displays no color at all. The water is visible, but otherwise the entire minimap is just black. I've looked through the Data Editor for a solution, but none has presented itself.

Thanks in advance.



None.

Without knowing what your texture set looks like (the values in the data editor) it is hard to tell what you could have done wrong.



None.

This is the minimap:



This is the map itself:



See the problem?



None.

You can replace the minimap.tga picture by importing that larger picture and using that instead. I'm fairly sure it replaces the ingame minimap, although I could be wrong and the minimap.tga could only be the loading screen image.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.

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:
