Post map and any information you know about it upon failure (? marks in force / player setup isn't a failure, just more of me just not putting values in).

I just tried it with Black Hole Defense, and it seems like it got everything beautifully except for the Tileset.
It told me it was Badlands, when it's supposed to be Space.

Tested twice just to make sure. Same thing.

Same thing happens. {I tried a Protected version and Unprotected version of the same map, and it still gets the tileset wrong.}

Anyways, here's the map.

? (zerg)

Map won't open in Scmdraft at all... (yea, I tried Osmap, but it says only map unprotected and doesn't change anything)

Hey, why I can't upload the map?

» File size was too big! (it is about 1mb, and I removed sounds...)

HOW DARE YOU INSULT POINTERS!?!?!

Also, in response to Undead-Fox's post with the wrong tileset: Make sure that you bitmask the ERA section properly: Only the 3 least significant bits are used, the rest is ignored (should be 3... 2³ = 8 possible tilesets, right? Damn, I'm rusty).

Yes, you can do (tileset & 7) or (tileset % 8) [respectively tileset AND 7 and tileset MOD 8), both will give you the same result. The second one is more intuitive though.

All tilesets are going to be wrong because I didn't use the correct variable. Unless it's badlands. Because it will always show 0.

spinesheath, of course you can't open it in SCMDraft, because it is protected. It can be opened after unprotecting it with UUP though. Besides, it's not my map, precisely why I didn't post an unprotected version.

But it's Black Hole Defense, and it IS put onto the Space Tileset.

Anyways, yeah, that's the only problem I saw with the uploader. Tilesets were wrong on the maps I tried. [Pro'd and UnPro'd]

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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