Okay... Say If someone managed to make a full-on conversion of an old rts game that was no longer supported at all and it was re-skinned into a playable StarCraft game with good plot, is it possible to distribute it for free here or on Campaign Creations without trouble or not? It would be like a fan campaign, but it has it's own cutscenes and is basically it's own .exe

Is it possible it could work?

That's already been attempted and nobody has the power to stop it, of course it would work.

Ooh, really!? What is the project called? When did it start?

Seriously, You're not messing with me right pr0nogo? I've already caught you lying once, I don't need to try to do it again... Even if you were a mod. :-_-:

GundamCraft and the WarCraft-StarCraft TC are both examples of people attempting to do what you're talking about.

If I ever lied to you, I sincerely doubt you'd ever figure it out.

Huh, I guess it's possible it's already done.

By the way, I have caught you before when you told me you changed your name to Lavarinth in Campaign Creations and that's a completely different person. I am pretty sure I'd get a similar answer from CC. (I think)

That wasn't a lie. Go ahead, ask someone on Campaign Creations. They'll tell you the same thing I did.

I'm a girl named Church.

Hey, I'm also Lavarinth from Campaign Creations. Ask Church on CC.

Well, if he literally told you, just like that, that he changed his name to Lavarinth he can still be right.

I once changed my name to Heidi Klum. Doesn't mean I'm her.



fuck you all

Oh yeah, the topic. Right.

Should work. Expect lawsuits, though.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
