Making Liftoff cost energy
I was wondering if it was possible to make Liftoff cost energy, and if so, how to do it.
she/her
I`m quite sure that spells' energy costs can be edited in the Tech or Upgrades tab in the Tech/Upgrade.dat file. I'm not certain about Liftoff though.
Siege mode requiring energy would also be interesting...
EDIT
Idea: Make a Unit Cloaker out of Siege Tank. Normal Siege Tank is normal, requires energy for transform. Siege Mode cloaks nearby units, but is also permanently invisible, meaning that it will eventually lose all of its energy.
Wait...
Never mind.

I epic failed at understanding you... What do Siege Tank/Arbiter hybrids have to do with this?
I guess I'll just have to use ASM injection... But I still don't understand how to do ASM with FireGraft...
EDIT: FaRTy said you have to make a plugin, but I don't know how to do that (and neither does FaRTy).

He doesn't know how to make FG plugins, but TZ said "he doesn't know how to make a plugin", he does know how to make MPQDraft plugins, which FG supports.

Well then, how does one make an MPQDraft plugin and use it in Firegraft?
None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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
