Hello everyone, I used to do simple modding with DatEdit and such but when I got Vista it just dropped me right out.
If there is ANY WAY possible, To make it so I can get back into modding using Vista that would be the greatest thing someone could do for me.

You know what really sucks? I can't play Ultimate Doom. that was my favorite mod. D=



None.

You know what? I have a Vista also, and starcraft does run on it, but it sucks. Assuming you have starcraft, you can still install it on your Vista, and DatEdit should work. Without installing stacraft, copying the mpqs and moving them to your Vista might work.



None.

My starcraft and brood war work perfectly fine. It's the modding programs I'm getting the kick in the ass with

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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