Im only guessing, but maybe you extracted one of the ones that isn't Locale ID 0 and TBLPad doesn't like it. Make sure if there is more then one stat_txt.tbl, you select the one with Local ID 0, then try that?

Uh.... can anyone just post a default stat_txt.tbl file?



None.

having the same problem, tried opening stat txt that was neutral 0 and also other versions too, so either something else is wrong or my stat txts are messed up...

I expect that you also have DatEdit. If you do, there should be a folder in DatEdit's directory named "Default." Inside, there may or may not be a "rez" folder. If there is, go inside and use the stat_txt.tbl file that's there.

WARNING: Don't use the actual file. Make a copy of it in the rez folder of your mod. (Just makin' sure you don't do anything stupid and screw up that file.)

If you can't get it to work you could try the TBL editor in PyMS, PyTBL (PyMS forums and local thread in my sig).

The only potential reason I can think of for it to do that is if you are using Chinese, Japanese, or Korean as your primary language in Windows. It messed up the way some of my old code for VB works. Probably the best solution is to just use a different editor if you encounter this.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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