I am curious. Does anyone know where I can find a working bwailauncher link? Or does anyone have a copy of the files for it. I've been trying to locate it out of nostalgia but I can't find it anywhere anymore. and I wanna play it again I would be most appreciative of anyone could assirt on this

Hmm, not sure if anyone still cares, but I suppose I have a personal stake in preserving these things out of nostalgia.

poiuyqwert's version: https://github.com/poiuyqwert/BWAILauncher

That already has all the scripts I remember (except BWMetaAI), but that is its own project.

I made a fork with the my more updated (Unleaded) scripts that weren't saved but it's not a huge difference. The Entropy multiplayer script just contains the updated scripts as well. I renamed it Entropy III, because the scripts actually crash in multiplayer-- the file has been too huge for the longest time and has will be a guaranteed crash in 3v3+ for as long as I can remember so if you want to use these with other people for some reason then you'd have to use the standalone scripts (but I imagine the chance of that is exceedingly rare.)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
