So, I decided "Hey, I'm gonna try my hand at map-making, now that the custom game system seems improved".

Well, I haven't used it since before the update. I got in, couldn't see any terrain, remembered I disabled the terrain from vision so I could take a screenshot before, and pressed shift+T hoping that was the right key combo to re-reveal terrain. Well, I crashed. Star it back up, I crash again, and again. So now I can't get on. Anyone know how I can fix it?

Here's the ErrorReporter thing I get, if it can somehow help: ErrorReporter

Update: Found 3 potential solutions.
~~Delete the Blizzard Entertainment stuff in the registry~~
Nope, made the editor revert to its default UI settings, but crashes anyways
~~Run the Blizzard Repairer~~
Nope
Delete 'EditorVariables.txt' in 'Documents/StarCraft II/'
Success. Thanks for the help, guys!

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

In the editor variables there might be an entry called "forceStoryMode=1" that could have caused that.
People have no idea how the entry got there. Seems like a bug during patching because that seems only happen after some patches.
That already happened during beta with patch 15 says google.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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