Is it possible to make allied maps with AI teammates?

ScmDraft2 allows computer and human players in the same force, but it works quite weird. I modified an allied map, making other 7 players user select computers, load custom AI script at most 0 sec elapsed time (if current player commands at least SCV, run Terran Expansion Custom, etc.). However all computers are hostile. Then I made players 2,3,4 allied at most 0 elasped time for player 1, I still got no vision of my teammates and my teammates appeared randomly among all start locations. Also it seems my allied computers do not develop.

Is it possible to make such map, with one team on one side and the other team on the other side, 7 computers (both user select and random can be ok) and they all work as top vs bottom?



None.

Oh I made an mistake on force. Start locations are ok now.

Current result: I set allied victory for each player. After loading the game, no teammate vision (actually there is one vision point in fog of war), my units quickly turned into neutral and I lost. Why?



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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