Elaborate the situation much more critically. Are there any players joining your games? Does it take a long period of time for players to download it? You received an error as you are trying to host the map? Do you have too many strings in your map?

Scmdraft is probably one of the StarCraft map editors, the next one would be Starforge but is very buggy nonetheless. It can't be scmdraft's fault unless you somehow did something wrong.

It would be really helpful if you actually posted your map.

We do a little trolling

Did you put overlaps in the map title or anything? I believe that causes issues. As PCFredZ said, it would be nice if you could post the map for us to look at.

Putting an ampersand in the map title makes it un-downloadable.

The filename most likely has either a + or a & in it. I know this is about a month old, but I'm sure it wasn't answered. :P

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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
