ok, so I'm working on my upcoming mod about future of the terrans have came to thier time and... yea.
so I'm planning to replace all protoss buildings and units with future terran. One problem I'm having is removing the interceptors from the carrier. also I'm wondering if it's something with Iscript that I just tinker with to make this happen? Hopefully this mod turns out good but no information will be said until further progress :><:

Just delete the "build intereceptor" button from the carrier's commands?

hmmmm, didn't really want to turn it into a FG
but I guess that's the only way....
maybe I'll just forget about removing them if i wanna test this out with my friends and a group of others later on
thanks for your help, productions going great so far

Oh, then you can always set the supply cost to something like terran, so you can't build it since you don't have terran supplies.

Though with no FG, then I imagine you still have Mind Control in the game, correct? Are the Terrans in the game using Terran supply? A Protoss player could still access Terran supply through MC, otherwise.

What's wrong with grafting? :O

But if you don't want to use it: Couldn't you make interceptors have no weapon, take forever to build, and be invisible, and give the Carrier a normal weapon (and an attacking iscript). Idk if that would work, I'm in Florida atm so I can't check.

Or, you could just make the Stargate build Norad IIs or something. :P

BTW: You can set the Interceptor to no race at all.

I'll see if that works, that meens i'll have to tamper with the AI as well so they don't build them

doesn't that require the button to build?

Yes. So? What's with you and grafting, anyway?

That doesn't answer the question.
BTW: Unless having no race is only a bug in PyDAT, then yes, you can make a unit unbuildable by removing all race flags.

ok! ok!
wasn't even talking about that
I was talking about TZ telling me that FG is hard but i'm not saying that, i'm saying i want it to work with 1.16.1 not 1.15.1

Edit: yes, thank you New-.Hydrolisk

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
[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 :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
