Ok, I tried to open my map and it said error like when a map is protected so I went to OSMap but it wasn't there. I looked my my trash bin and it wasn't there. It disappeared!

1. Try opening it in SCMDraft 2. Occasionally Staredit.exe based editors will have screwups like this.
2. Or, if you were using SCMDraft 2 or StarForge, there is a backup file.
3. If you ever played the map on battle.net, a copy would be in your StarCraft/download/ folder.
4. The search function works wonders. Start -> Search. :P

You might want to just try looking in your SC maps folder, instead of using an editor.

Eh, I fixed it anyway. I saved over my other map. But I have no clue where the original went... Doesn't matter anyway.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
