How come when I put doodad Sprites from Scmdraft then save it and open it in scxe they disappear?
Is scx BW or Vanilla? I can't remember.
None.
scxe = starcraft x-tra editor
None.

X-tra Editor doesn't support many sprites that SCMD2 and starforge support, and deletes them upon opening the map. Solution: Don't use X-tra Editor!
Switching map editors is generally bad for a multitude of reasons... For example, StarForge will make any sound file corrupt and delete itself, and also on rare occasions change properties of particular sprites. X-tra Editor doesn't support as much as SCMD2 and SF and deletes a few dozen types of units/sprites, usually without prompting or stating "There were x number of illegal units" as a fair warning. X-tra editor also frowns upon null terrain and non-isometric tiling. SCMD2... Hmm... I haven't found one in particular yet, but I might, someday.
scx is expansion
scm is vanilla

Don't use X-tra with the other editors, it often has problems working with their terrain and their doodads, but if you don't want it to screw up doodads, just use SCM Draft, since SF will automatically place doodads with their sprites separate.
None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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