Heyall out here at staredit. My names ScaleMatrix, and I've been playing Starcraft for about 6 years now, and I didn't start mapmaking until last december. Before I thought mapmaking was extremely hard, but then just this december I decided to try it out for the first time instead of blowing it off. I made an RP spawning trigger and from there I ended up with an arena map that I'm working on now. I like to play arenas,RPGs,CNM,Cops and robbers and much much more on here.


I just yesterday started on learning "Mobile Grid triggers" because there effects are so inspiring, but the stuff that makes it happen I can see is very time consuming and requires some Graphing work but its worth it to learn.

Oh stop picking on him.

Welcome, ScaleMatrix! I would strongly urge you to do a little experimentation with static grids while you're at it. They're fun, simple and help you understand the role of unit id / the importance of placement order.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[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 :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
