I'm using SForge not for a very long time so dont mind the stupidity of a question :)
How can i rename switch??? I'm getting very confused with Switch 1, 2, 20, etc. I would like them for example to be Level 1, Level 2 and so on and so forth. Is it my eyes or i can find where to rename them :)

P.S. In original sc editor there is just "push" button on rename switch :P

Many things in starforge were never really finished. Being easily able to rename switches was one of them. If memory recalls you can rename switches, but it's too much of a hastle to deal with. Sorry, I don't remember how though. Don't seriously map make anymore and I use scmdraft 2.

Just go rename the switches in another editor, then go back.

Or use death counters. Its more efficient to use 1 dc with 20 values 1-20 than using 20 switches named level 1-20.

Or just work with switches named Switch 1-255/write down a reference. Isn't THAT hard.

In StarForge you have to edit their string names, but it works just fine in other editors, I'd use SCM Draft if I were you.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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