I finished a few maps since the last month, including some hardly made EUD maps. when i finally try to test for some glitches or just to preview how the triggers work, i get the same message. "An Error occured while trying to create the game" or something like that. i double deleted the maps(bad move there), but i still want to know what went wrong.

Note: I wasnt sure what catagory this would fall under so i chose SC in general.

Post the map, that error message is too general for us to guess anything.

Have you tried playing it not online?

Make sure the map's filename doesn't have any strange characters, offhand I know + isn't acceptable, / and others probably are not as well.

well, let me find it if i still have it in my download folder. will take me a while though.
It's named Scrab Concept or something. it ws just a test map i did to try to find new ways of using scarabs.
Funny how i was about to use characters like these: ̿B͇̳̳̿̿̿̿̚L̿O̿O̿D̿ T̳̿̿R̿A̿I̿L̿

Try renaming it to just Blood Trail if that doesn't work maybe it's something up with the map

Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!

You cant really do anything with scarabs like create, kill, etc...
but i have found out something weird with interceptors if you wanna see what they can do

Actually, one reason you might not be able to start the map could be because of start locations.
Did you remember to place them?

I find this happens to me a lot more than I would like...

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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