I'm still working on it a bit, however I uploaded my work to get opinions, suggestions, and maybe some bug reports.
It basically looks the same, but it works on a whole different level. The old script was like one of my first v5 scripts and it really needed to be trashed and rewritten.

New/fixed things:
x Ability to track messages
x Message threads (no more quoting) -- really only works if you save a copy to your sent message
x Better recipient handling
x Send to your clan
x Better error handling (try to send an empty message for full extent)
x Cleaner display (like the obvious: yoshi's sexy help tip buttons... )
x Attachments more defined
x Address book changed dramatically (less focus on groups)

Working on:
x What is done with drafts after message is sent from draft
x Threads (especially with multiple subjects)

Things I want to include later:
x Select read/unread in folder view
x Print / export specified pms
x Message rules (such as, all messages from my clan go directly to folder "my clan")


As always, you might need to refresh a few times to get updated javascript / skin files.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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