Dang it... Modding is burning me alive...

When I use a nexus to build a probe, it shows that the probe is in the process of being builded, but the little green bar of the progress doesn't move....

In other words, it takes infinite amount of time (literaly, infinite, meaning it wouldn't build) to build a unit, the same thing happens with my gateway, but my other factory buildings works just fine....

Now some things that I did and didn't do:
1. I didn't change the building time of the probe
2. I did set probe into a zerg unit in datedit
3. I did set the nexus and gateway into a zerg unit in datedit
4. I set my stargate to a terran unit... and it worked fine, unlike my gateway and nexus
5. That's about it...



None.

Zerg buildings can't produce units without a special .exe edit. It's called "Train Unit".

I've faced similar problem, but it wasn't connected with alignment/race change. I've added unit build button (FG) while factory was in transit. You could buy it, cancel button in order-menu appeared, and unit icon with progress bar in the middle, but nothing more happen. Later I've changed my mod to suit my modding skills, but I'm still interested is it possible to build in terran factories, while they lifted off.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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