Since it seems that unit colours vary based on the computer that you're on, I'd like to conduct a quick survey. What I need is for some people to play a map for me (load up starcraft and actually "play" it) and either take a screenshot or simply tell me what colour the units are in game. At my home computer, all the units are black; but on another computer, they're a splotchy mess. I'd appreciate it if yous guys let me know what colour you're seeing.

Unit colours vary per computer? I have no idea what you are talking about, are you sure the other comp isn't just messed up itself? :|

Anyhow, I tested it and both Ghosts are black.

Haha, you sound skeptical, but it's true! Some computers just display different colours. I think it's a small percentage, but I'd like to know for sure before going further. Thanks for your input, by the way. I appreciate your help!

I was a bit skeptical yes ;). Is there any notable difference in comp. spec. between the computers who do and do not show different colours? A funky video card or driver would be a logical explanation.



None.

Well, I've found the issue. In order to play SC at work, I installed the game on a flash drive and ran it off the drive with a no-cd crack. Apparently, that's what did it.

Okay, because I knew that tilesets can change the units, but I was almost certain that the computers wouldn't do it. Glad to see you figured it out yourself though.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
