I just wanted to pre-Post a Melee map I am remaking. The original one was made in Ash, and I have yet to see a remade one in .SCX format with one made In ICE. (If there is one, Please let me know). I am using Staredit to make it.

(8)Plains of Snow '08
Size: 192x192
Tileset: Ice
Type: Melee
Suggested Players: 2-8
Description: The once ash covered plains are now coated in snow.

I Just tried to upload this as a SCX file, but it gave me an error saying file does not exist...WHaaa?

You picked a pretty bad map to remake. Protip: all Blizzard melee maps are garbage, so you shouldn't bother using them as inspiration. Also, not sure what the purpose of this map is -- it's literally the same Blizzard map, but in a different tileset. You might want to try making original maps that you can apply your mapping knowledge to, rather than just remaking the same simple maps over and over again.

Then why put any effort into publicising it? Work on new things, forget the old, unless there's something you can learn from it (and the only lesson I'm seeing here is to avoid working with Blizzard's own maps).

Is it wrong for me to want to upload the map?

Not everyone has a narrow view on what they think is worthy/unworthy. It's a playable map, I wanted to upload it to SEN since I didn't get to in the past. What's the real issue here?

EDIT: Personally I like this map, that's why I redrew it. How do I know others do not like this map?
well I don't, least not until I upload it, they download it, and then they say "I played it, I didn't like it".
but it all starts with my having to want to upload it to begin with.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
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:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
