Help logged back into SEN and I can't get up
I know, I know, this is probably not amazing since you (maybe) remember me from being a (very) embarrassing teenager, but the nostalgia has hit hard and I'm getting back into game-making and am looking to start up on BW terrain and map making again. Anyways, life is very weird, hope you've all been well, and if not, it still means a lot that you got through it. (or so we hope, lol)

Once I get an easy way to work with SCMDraft and Broodwar again I'll try to find any old files I still have, I'm going to be making things again for sure, honestly just LMK what you would want! Thanks for the compliment, Dizzy was so great. Are they still around?? There is definitely a possibility that I don't have many terrain maps from back then left, but could recreate things from pictures, which might be stashed away on an old laptop.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
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
