This patch added all possible colors to SC: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/starcraft/t/patch-1-23-1-notes/640/40

I am using SCMDraft 2.0. IF i use a color like cyan, it defaults to red when I play the map.

Same with other extra colors.

How do I enable extra colors now that it's officially supported?



None.

Get the newest version of SCMDraft. It has support for this.

Woah, what was the string update? Higher string limit?

Unlimited. But jj or SI haven't added the ability to their launchers. (Did I get that right?)

I see you !

Limited to 65k strings / 4GB of text. Should be a significant increase over the current limits.

Is that a coincidence? The limit used to be 65000bytes-ish right? So that number has gone up to 4gb and the 1024 string "limit" is now 65,000?


How does this work with backward compatibility? Im guessing if you try and boot up a 4gb string map on older versions you'll get some sort of error msg?

I can just see someone try to reach the 4GB limit, just for the dumb fun. :)



Trial and error... mostly error.

What am I missing here? Still says i'm at 92.6% used. Wow, I can't believe the order of magnitude size increase we're getting. from 0.06megabytes to FOUR GIGABYTES

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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