[v] Legend [vi] Important changes and info [i] Changes to BroodWar in patch 1.14 The Broodwar patch 1.14 (released mid-2006) was (is) a pain to us all. It crippled any map that had an overlapped map-name. (Every map made after 2003!? yes it's true..) Such maps are not able to be played by more than yourself. Meaning no other people are able to join your game if you host such a map publicly. Hence, the only way to spread those maps is to email them, post them on websites etc. Still, once you do that, only one person can play it at a time. Also, no lapping or colors are allowed for force names (though the map will still be multi-player-able if it is). And the invisible character for the mapname is now Black. (neato!?) (Careful! The in-game invisible has changed to Red, and the actual invisible color is now alt+0020 explained later). If you want to fix your old maps so they work online, take out any [Back] or [Front] (AND Invisibles!) characters in your mapname: X-tra mapname: Scenario -> Properties -> Name Starforge mapname: Scenario -> Description -> Name also take out any laps and colors in the forces names (they don't work anymore) . . . Bad things aside, patch 1.14 has brought brand new colors to the world of Starcraft. These new colors can only be used for game text AND unit names. They are implemented the same way as the old colors: copy/paste the little black bars in front of the text you want colored. You now have about 21 colors in all (plus invisible and overlaps) to butter up your in-game text and make up for the fact that you couldn't spruce up the lobby colors. . . . HOW TO USE THESE TABLES - Copy/paste the single character under the "Bar" column, or - Hold ALT while you type the 4 digit number under the "####" column. (MUST be all four digits, even the zeros!) NOTE: TURN NUMLOCK [ON] AND USE THE NUMBER PAD!
