Lord of the Locker Room

I've written a few big articles in the past. Aside from the "bible" which I'm sure most people here are familiar with, I wrote a larger article on CC a while back and then refurbished it for Team Liquid a time ago. I also wrote two modding introductionary guides that were then polished a bit and placed on CC.

I figured I'd post this in Null as most even though (most) people on this site are not involved in modding at all much less major project production, they might be interested enough in the subject to see the work and challenges of a person who is.

Brood war,

Zen of Modding - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128683
The two guides on CC - http://campaigncreations.org/starcraft/resources/modding_tutorials (intro to dat editing and iscript, anyone who knows this stuff already would probably get more out of AO's iscript source)

Starcraft 2-related,

Reviving the Juggernaut
Building this -

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

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 -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
