I believe it's <12>Word <13>Word. You have to add tabs from notepad or spaces afterwards. There is no actual formula for scmdraft because the copy/paste is weird. The easiest one to use is starforge to overlap words. If you don't want to keep testing, I suggest you copy and paste and edit from another overlapped word.

But everyone says that StarForge sucks, and is a horrible program!


Fools they be.

StarForge is not so much of a bad program. It is just that the maker does not update as much and seems to be blind. The only thing it is good for is stacking texts, but at a risk of bugging or corrupting the map. The best way to minimize that risk is to make sure you have all needed files for starforge.

I know, I witnessed the creation of StarForge.

Heimdal (the creator) doesn't update it much because he now works for Microsoft (Well, Bungie Entertainment) and the last time I spoke with him, he was helping code for Halo 3.

He has someone else working on it though (At least this person should be) to help him out, so maybe eventually a new version will come out :)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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