Edit : would it be possiable to use death sounds as music?



None.

Cool idea, but we arn't limited to only death sounds, every sound in StarCrafts MPQ's (weapon sounds, deaths, voices, etc.) can be used in a map with 0 increase to file size! I think it would be hard to make a song that wasn't annoying, but there are lots of sounds to work with. If it was done right I think it could work well.

I would really like someone to actually do this.

Depends on how you define music.
Some say it's a replicable order of sounds in time.
Some say it has to be pleasing to the ear. (or their ear(s), in particular)
Some say it requires instruments. (the voice being one)

So, can you? I would say yes. Doesn't mean everyone will agree.

Just Here For The Pie

A few years back, I had this idea too. I was going to make a Christmas themed movie map were the dying units made bad representation of the song jiggle bells.

There was a lot of math involved, and it was way too time consuming. I eventually scrapped it.

Those ones always have extra background noises or they change the pitch of noises or have a background beat.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

As stupid (yet amusing) as it may be

something like that should be possible.

Have a simple background song then add death sounds etc.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
