  • In a sense, you would -- although I was thinking a replica not a small scale version.

    How would you obtain the thousands of lines of code which represent the triggers involved? How would you replicate the cinematic scenes where the three factions talk amongst themselves, and although you can extract the wave files used for voiceover -- how could you possibly incorporate it into the StarCraft 2 map design, which has such a limited capacity in terms of megabytes?

    Although, I will admit I was looking at this from a different perspective -- when he stated that he would have liked it to be

    original StarCraft campaign with the brand new StarCraft 2 engine.
    -- and with "Original" comes originality, and there would be no way to recreate the original StarCraft campaign without access to the source code of the campaign.

    But to put it all on a smaller scale, it could definitely be done in simplistic terms. I do not know if the voiceovers of Raynor and everything from SC1 and SCBW could be done, but as you said, the maps and a more simple version of all of the triggers could be redone -- map-by-map.

    This is actually very interesting now that I think of it. I am unsure whether or not a map designer would be willing to put in the hours needed to recreate it, but if one steps up and lets me know -- Nibbits will definitely sponsor this and it could not only bring quite a bit more traffic to nibbits, but just as well bring many more designers looking to chip in. We could do an open source-esque design, with the original project having it own forum and portal section.

    Veior, any chance you have any knowledge in Map Design? I would love to actually help out with this and go ahead and reinstall SC1, and then begin playing with several variables and designs that are originally in the campaign, in attempts to record them in something like an open Google Doc so that other members of this hypothetical team could join in on.

    The more I think about it, the more I like it! =) Anyone else have thoughts on it?
