Hello, so I am new here, hope I am posting this in the right section, seems like it, idk. Sorry in advance if I didn't post this in the right spot.

Anyways, I wanted to edit an old Starcraft Broodwar UMS map for my own personal use and messing around with, but I can't seem to unprotect it myself even after spending a few hours messing about, and I don't trust 99% of the download links for "certain" unprotector programs. Is anyone capable of unprotecting it for me? I don't really care for the unprotecting programs, just want to mess around with this one map in an editor for my own use, as I mentioned before.

I did attach the map, so if anyone could lend me a hand it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sincerely,

SgtA

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
