You forgot a period in the first "Current unit is...". You could have just missed it while typing your post, but you might want to check it.

Or I could be totally wrong.


Nvrmnd... *points at below*

Does the crash occur only when you're running the mod through FG? Basically, it's most helpful to know if FG is the problem, or something else. So, if you load the mod with just the MPQ, does it crash then?



None.

Hello

Does it only crash at cilvian? if yes: the build-time from the cilvian is "0" which will crash the game when click on....

otherwise: you may recreate the mod.... i've no idea.. maybe something is fucked up :O
[only do so if you really can't fix it, or attach the mod (or a test-mod)]



Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.

actually it works either FG or in mpq before but things get messy when i mingle with the dat req of probe civilian and scv.

for what iv'e believed, civilian's default built-time in DataEdit is 1 or 0.041 sec making him built-upon-clicking

hmmm this gives me an idea... ill try to make another mod and change things one by one then...

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
