ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

The colors of the background or the colors or the stacraft interface GUIs?

Anyway, the background should have the same pallete of the .pcx that has the original background (I'm wondering if it's actually a pcx but it should be)
And the GUIs do have an especific pallete for them, for each of them if I recall correctly, just like cursor has different palletes when it's over an SMK, when it's on the background or when it's on the game selection box (between SC Vanilla and SC Broodwar) I, obviously, don't remember the pallete names but I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to find them now that you know they exist. I'll try to look up for them and post what you need to edit but you might as well start out by yourself.



fuck you all

Use 8-bit PCX. The palette for the screen is actually loaded from the background pcx.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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