This maybe a new idea for somthing some1 can create, but really, its to help me make this one map i'm working on, i will post this in the help compartment too...

Idea: It would be nice to have a program that tells you all the possibilities you canhave from a certain amount of randomized switchs.

Help: I'm half way threw but i got stuck, can someone help me figure out how to get all the possibilities in 7 switchs (128 Possibilities). This is where i'm at...

None.

Umm, there is a program that will automatically do all the switch calculatios for you. It was created by chuiu, I'll dig it up tomorrow after I get home.

None.

The windows calculator works well. Figure out the index of the combination you want (remember N switches has 2^N possible values and the first combination is index 0; the last is (2^N) - 1). Type it into windows calculator and hit "BIN." Digits that are 0 represent cleared switches, digits that are 1 represent set switches.

None.

Learn to count in binary. Do it like this:

(0 denotes a switch being off, 1 denotes it being on)

Code

0000000
0000001
0000010
0000011
0000100
0000101
0000110
0000111
0001000
0001001
0001010
0001011
0001100
0001101
0001110
0001111

And keep going on like that.

Or... Rather than using so many switches and wasting so much time figuring out the combinations, you can use the much simpler Single Switch Randomization method.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

[04:25 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

[06:15 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.

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 :lol:

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

Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
