In StarGraft, you could create as many working submenues as you wanted. Yet in FireGraft, there doesn't seem to be a way without replacing a Units entry, with no way to make new ones. Am I missing anything?

What do you mean? I have done sub menus in firegraft before...
And I did them the same way you did them in SG on STF ...>>

You can add new button sets in Firegraft.

New button sets can be added, yes, but you need to point a submenu button to that button set. To do that, the Action Variable must point to a "Units" entry that then refers to the button set you want.

Isn't that how it worked on SG?


EDIT: I just tried and you can't add entries to SG either, just button sets.

Yeah, you're right. I could have sworn you could add new Units entries, but looking over my old STF *.pat I see that I only replaced unused "Units" entires like Cave-In and such. Rusty memories, go figure. My mistake.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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