I've asked this at least twice before but some how I always forget. And the search option has brought up nothing so.

What angle would I have to turn my custom laser beam for each of the 17 frames?

I tried 180/17, but that gave me some huge long decimal number, which I tried, and didn't work anyways, because when I got to frame 8 (or uh... 9 if you're starting from 0 I think) it wasn't completely sideways like other GRP's are when they reach that frame. Unless I did something wrong... I was pretty tired



None.

180/16 = 11.25
The first frame, the one facing "up" is doubled most of the time.



fuck you all

"Doubled"? If you mean what I think you mean, the answer is definitely not. (I assume you mean frame 1 is a duplicate of 0 which is incorrect). I know in Rhino I used a turn difference of 11 or 11.25 at least. I know in max right now HKS set me up a camera system to use for the 17 frames and it's pretty much 100% perfect. If you use max 2009 I can send you the scene.

Frame 8, from 0, is sideways.



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

I don't think he is modelling at all, Mesk. So he isn't using max or anything.
If you open a ship GRP (at least terrans) you'll see what I mean with doubled frames.
Almost every zergs are doubled too. They aren't really 17 unique frames but 8 only.



fuck you all

That doesn't mean you have to be a lazy bastard as well. None of my grps use duplicate frames of any kind.

Where did I say he has to be lazy?
I can't seem to find that part. In my grps they also have the whole 17 frames but that doesn't change the fact that the turn angle blizzard used is 11.25. Not my fault that blizzard was lazy with some of their grps :P



fuck you all

I'm just saying. Blizzard always cuts corners.

Blizzard cut corners because they didn't realize people would like UMS and mods so much. :P



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
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:
