Ive downloaded it, unzipped it, and saved it. Though when I open it, it says its missing a .DLL file. Why?



None.

>.< This question appears all the time.

Google the .dll file that it is missing, download it from somewhere, then put it in either your winmpq folder, or the system32 folder. I think either one works, but to be safe, put the .dll in both folders.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

Ooh! Thanks! Why doesn't someone just update the .zip file?



None.

With those other files did you try running the setup.exe file or did you just put the files in the same folder as WinMPQ? Just saying it didn't work isn't enough information.



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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