Hello folks, I has a question about color in mission.
Look at screenshots:
1) Original text
2) Rus text in 1.16
3) Rus text in Remastered

Phrase construction:
<08><08>AGROVAK
You imbecile! Have you forgotten your position?!

Why is only the name red? (1.16), but in Remastered all text is red?
Because of it I fixed phrase construction in Remastered:
<08><08>AGROVAK
<02>You imbecile! Have you forgotten your position?!

In 1.16.1 (and earlier), the game has 11 different memory addresses for each line of display text. When <OD><0A> (line break) or <0C> (page break) are reached in the string, or it gets truncated from running out of screen space, the following text continues on the next memory address.

The subsequent line of text loses the previous color because it inherits the <02> tag given by default to all display text lines.

Remastered presumably handles display texts and newlines differently, in a way that allows new lines of text to retain the last color tag from the string. I don't know how Remastered handles it.

Is there anything I can do to make the colors in the Remastered work like in 1.16?

Manually writing <02> like you did is probably the best, if not the only thing to do. Also for the name you don't need double <08>, only one tag is sufficient.

So I do.

Also for the name you don't need double <08>, only one tag is sufficient.
So the author wrote, not me.

Thank you for help!

I knew you'd eventually encounter this problem. I had that same problem, too, when I first started working on my current project via remastered. You just need to add a new color text tag for remastered if you want to differentiate the color. I think I addressed this in the 1.16 version of Unorthodox Training map that I sent you.

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
