Ok, this is what I did....
scenario #1:
I replaced sieger tank's siege mod's grp files with goliath and gol turret's grp file, and when I run it, there is a gap between the turret and the base...(You prolly have to do this urself to see what I am talking about)

My question is, how do I place turret onto the goliath without any gap...

scenario #2:
I replaced shuttle's little grp with a giant ship's grp about the size of a battlecruiser, and when shuttle moves, the engine overlay is still at the same position as before(which is now in the middle of the ship @_@) instead of at the rear of the ship, how do I move the engine overlay to the rear of the ship..?

on #1, can I just rename the goliath lol file to the tank's lol file? or is it gonna cause major crash?

None.

#2. Edit the .lo? files and change the image offset in the iscript.

Get pyLO at broodwarai.com and mess around with it. It's pretty straight forward.

1) In the images tab, you can change the lo? file it uses. Just change it to the goliath's in that way.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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