Giving non-spellcasters spells
In my mod, all units need to be able to cast Stasis Field. (Don't ask why, I have a very good reason but I don't want to explain it yet.) This includes the non-spellcasting units. In orders.dat, I set the Stasis Field to use "None" for its Energy field, yet attempting to cast Stasis Field with a non-spellcaster unit results in the "Not enough energy" message. Is there any way, short of giving everything spellcaster, that I could possibly make this work?

Why should giving everything Feedback fix your problem?
Why can't all of your units have energy?

Change the orders.dat entry back to Stasis Field.
techdata.dat: ID22 (Stasis Field).
Under "Technology Cost" is "Energy:". Change to 0 for no energy cost.
That should work.

In Cloak case, however, after just unsetting spellcaster flag, Wraiths in my mod were capable of maintaining cloak for undefinite amount of time and switching it at will. Cloak is quite hardcoded, so in weapon-spell it probably wouldn't work.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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