You must now provide a picture for any map posted in this section so that it may be properly commented on. No one should have to download and open your map just to have a look at it, especially if they're going to take the time to give you feedback to improve it.

To make a picture of your map, open it in SCMDraft, go to file, and save image. Please resize the image as SCMDraft's default images are very large, and preferably convert it to PNG, JPEG, or another easy to view format.

Helpful tools:
Photogadget free for resizing.
Paint.NET for saving as a different format as well as glow/sharpening effects.

Please read the other two pinned topics as well before posting maps.

You can also upload your picture to a site like photobucket.com, which automatically resizes the picture for you.

Gah. That could be rather annoying, considering I do all my mapping on an old Mac running Mac OS 9.



None.

I think there is a mac capable picture tool, but I am not aware of one off hand. Try google.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
