sence this is a map making question, and sence not everyone in staredit.net are map maker's or else I would have put this in Null or garabage or something

but how do you zoom out on x-tra editor, or scmdraft or starforge so you can see your whole map? for screen shots : )

You can't zoom in or out in X-tra, but there is a zoom in/zoom out function at the top in Scmdraft

For more detailed screenshots, go to File>Save Image in SCM Draft 2, that gives a full map picture, from there you can pull out any piece of the map you want in high detail!

For screenshots, just use the "save as picture" feature in SCMdraft, it makes a perfect picture of your entire map. It's great and I always used it for my completed maps.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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.
