Very WEIRD random Crashes

So, me and my friend were doing a simple rine mod that uses fragmentation grenades for an air and ground attacks, as well as changing some strings associated with a barracks/a marine. The mod worked fine, we took the crap outa a few teams...

THEN, it (Starcraft) crashes, and I dont know why. We expiernced crashes when we clicked back on our barracks to build more rines, built new barracks, or for a reason we cannot place. The crash reason changes everytime.

Why are we expierencing crashes randomly or for some unknown reason?

:help:

Can you explain in detail what you changed? Make sure you keep proper grammar.



None.

We changed some rine weapons using DatEdit, and changed a rine name, barrack names, as well as some weapon names, using TBLEdit

Changes with the rine-->See my attachments

I showed what settings for a rine, as well as the weapons its sopposed to use with these screenies...

Edit: Sorry for the grammar, I was in a hurry to get to dinner :><:

At the time of crashing what were you doing? Did you make the marine attack air units? Lift off the barracks? What?



None.

I was doing a different thing each time, first I built a couple more rine, second I built a new barracks, and third I was just moving my mouse. All of these seem to occour when my screen is going back to my base to do something...

I can give you the crash log if you want 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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[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

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:
