If a player leaves...

When a player leaves, all his units become neutral. So is there a way of detecting/removing/giving-to-a-computer-player those neutral units?

I'm asking because in Mechwarrior RPG, if a player leaves, his rigs it so players can't pick the same mech he's picked (because of the safe-guard I put in so no two players can have the same mech at the same time).



None.

P12 is the neutral player.

We do a little trolling

Just always give all p12 units (unless you use p12 units for something else) to whoever you want to own them.

I'm looking in SCMDraft, but there is no player 12 in the player list. There's Neutral, and Neutral players, so I'm not sure which is the right one.

Use starforge for p12.. but using Neutral players works already...

Neutral is just p12, while neutral players should work I think it include all players flagged as neutral in the player settings don't quote me on that though.



None.

One thing to note...

Minerals and vespene geysers are considered Player 12's... So don't just use "all units" specify what you want to give away from P12



None.

Neutral players is any player above 8, Neutral is just player 12, and Hugel, it won't matter anyway, unless for some reason you REALLY don't want them to own the resources.



None.

Ugh, is everyone sure it means neutral players, not neutral AND players? It's giving units owned by players, not just neutral.

I changed it to neutral, not neutral players, but I haven't had the chance to test it with a friend yet to see if it works 100%.



None.

Neutral players definetely do NOT include P1-8.
Neutral is P12, which is the player whom units of leavers are given. So it'll be fine.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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