Did you save with StarForge, and if you did, did you select Staredit Compatible, or Final Release? FInally, what unprotector are you trying to do it with?



None.

lol.

This is why you make many backups, and never protect your maps. There's only a few things starforge does better than SCMDraft, and those things are rapidly disappearing. Falk's site has a whole bunch of utilities you might try, so look there.

When saving in SF, be sure to not save as Final edition.. that means you're finished w/ map and SF will protect it... Unfortunately it doesn't noe how to unprotect itself.

Starforge rocks. It works like a gem, unless it crashes.

Yeah, StarForge is actually the only editor able to work with maps unprotected after being compressed by TinyMap2, just a bit unstable, unfortunately :(

Have you ever tried placing minerals/gas for a player other than P12?

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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