Hey folks, recently I have been spotting maps with lots of really cool text colors, like purple, blue, orange, and colors I can't get with my current programs. I was just curious as to what programs I could use to add these colors to my own maps. Any help is appreciated, thanks a bunch!

they just appear as blocks... is there anyway I can get them to turn to symbols (reformatted computer, new windows, and sucky!)

When you copy and paste them they all do different things.

I know that, I used to use them all the time, and they used to look like symbols, now they look like boxes...

It all depends on what font he's using, some fonts have the symbols, some don't.

That's why you open up an empty map in SCMDraft.
Make several triggers with comments in aforementioned colours.
Open the map up in a different editor.
Open notepad.
List the colours and their "symbol" [with paste, duh.]
Store for later use.

If only the trigger window was large like SCXTra 2.6, this would completely make SCXTra obsolete.

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

modifyable actions/conditions trigger editor size would be cool....
I want to see all of my triggers in one screen, if I want to....

Even easier. Just go to the Strings tab in SCMDraft, it shows all the colors of each color in a list.

ScmDraft uses other "symbols" for the coloring than other editors.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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