| Yea, quite true there Drunken. Don't think I could do that though, as I'm not that great at delving into stuff like that.
However, screenshots of every color along with many of the random ones would help though. Even though it wouldn't cover every single randomized possibility, it gives a basic idea of the possibilities. It would still be better than words.
And although unit colors aren't important on the programming side, I feel that most people pay more attention to the unit colors than the minimap colors and the score bars at the end. Why? Well, when I click Mr. Marine and tell him to shoot Mr. Zergling, I'm ordering the unit color to attack another unit color.
And what are those yellow "stars," as you refer to them? They don't look like stars to me...they look more like birds if you look closely, or perhaps a zerg style of the Star Trek badge thing.
And as you say, I am not making a "true" color list. I don't plan on it--anybody who actually does do something like that has too much time on their hands. Not to mention a screen shot of every single Starcraft unit would take up gobs of space. I think in GIF format my screenshots were about 70kb each...70x255x8...142800Kb. Thats 139 MB right there...don't know if anybody wants to actually give that much space to a screenshot compilation of colors...especially as it being an older game that takes up less space than the compilation itself. And thats if the colors didn't change, but they do. So, in other words, NASTY.
As for listing the colors for players over 13...I know there is Starforge and all, but who exactly plays with players over 13 on all of their UMS maps? Heck, I almost always stick with the basic 1-8 and let 9-12 be what they are preset to be.
