Doing my best to revive this place. Long live the StarCraft community!

[color=#81A7EF]Hello guys and gals, my name is Kyberilium. I am new to this forum, and I joined it because I am trying to find some very old files.
As you all know, Maplantis section of SEN Database is no longer available. I understand that most of this website works on hopes and prayers nowadays, but I am sure that some you out there have the files on your machines.

So, this thread shall become the place of history. Please post old links, files, ANYTHING that could be useful.

While Stormcoast Fortress projects are still up and available on their website, other modding tools weren't so lucky.

For example, Uberation 2 (also spelled as "Uber@tion 2") is forever lost to history, as all of it's hosts are offline.

While there exist great, advanced modern tools for modders, old ones become lost Media one by one. Let's stop this process by sharing some old files with the community.

Your's,
Kyberilium

Well. This was certainly much faster that I could have expected! :omfg:

Thank you very much for your help, I am glad that Uber@tion 2 still exists.

Let's hope other people will see this thread and add more links to hard-to-find programs.

Long live the StarCraft community!

We do a little trolling

Pretty much anything worth using is already available here. You can see what's in the DLDB here: https://staredit.net/sc1db/browse/allprograms/

If you have any specific requests, feel free to put them out there. I don't think there's going to be a ton of contributions to a general lost programs thread if you're not asking for anything specific.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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