Because someone asked for such a thing and it was simple, I have created a little tool to place a Player 15 Scarab or Map Revealer as the first unit in a map.

Download! (Uses P15 Interceptor)
Download! (Uses P15 Scarab)
Nothing elaborate... Just a checkbox and two options (scarab or map revealer).


... Whee!
Post bugs, comments, questions, suggestions, death threats, etc.

Hello

lul.... easy and cool :D
its crap if you placed mass units and forgot the p16 scarab Oo you have to cut em and then paste em; which isnt really easy and tese units do NOT snap to grid again [at least not rightly; there are always some pixel between grid and unit....]

thx for that toll ;)
but go on working on trigplug!!! :D
RELEASE IT
RELEASE IT
RELEASE IT!!! :S

Apparently some maps have the top left tile as unwalkable ... Switched Scarab to Interceptor.

Download!
Old version still exists if you want Scarab instead ...

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

just make another option that creates a p15 map revealer instead of the interceptor. It's another type of speed increasing (normal walking speed, I think, but faster animations/fire rate).

I have no control over what the effects are, I just place the unit.

sou, can you also add a "place map revealer" tool? its crap that scm draft never stack the revealrs [scenario -> place map revealers] and at the left site and sometimes down site is just always fog!
so can you make this feature??
(i know that is another theme, it has nothing with "speed" to do :D)

Scarab and Interceptor do the same thing.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[04:26 am]
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
[06:15 pm]
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.
[03:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[03:43 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:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
