Mod Request

I just have a quick request for anyone who isn't too busy:

Just want an editor mod that changes Terran buildings' image to their half-completed stages (in order to place disabled unit sprites) and lets you stack buildings/units/etc. I don't need this, but it'd be a nice help. Also, if you could change the trap units so they display properly, as disabled and face the correct way (for some reason, SCMDRAFT no longer does this!).

The terran buildings that can be shown as half built are:
Armory
Starport
Covert Ops
Nuclear Silo
Academy
Factory
Barracks
Control Tower
Science Facility
Command Center
Machine Shop

If your only response is "do it yourself", I'm not going to bother.

Are you sure that's not just an SCMDraft problem?

As for the other stuff, it wouldn't be too difficult... If I randomly have a lot of free time, I might look into it.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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