Irradiated Buildings?

[iago]

I noticed something odd while playing Starcraft missions this week.  I was able to get some bulidings irradiated.  Has anybody seen this before?

You can view it on OSPAP (woo!) here:

Plus, I'll be a jerk and link them inline for convenience:

Im sorry, but I dont see any pictures.

Hmm, did you try clicking the link?

2 questions: what version are you playing, and how did you do that?

I recall a previous bug that was patched, it went somthing like: irradiate a drone right before it spawns a building and that building gets infected.

I'm interested in this please elaborate on how you got to this point.

[iago]

That's on version 1.13e, fully up to date. 

You're exactly right, irradiate right as it's being built.  The goddamn computer kept irradiating my drones, which was really a pain, but a couple times (3, actualy) it managed to stay irradiated.

just out of curiosity but, which mission is that?

Brood War -- Zerg -- 8

Thanks dude, I wanna play StarCraft now.

Hit me up for a game i'll check in on USWest Server, I have better lag on Eastern realm though so we might wanna goto East (I have dial-up [soon to change i'm moving into town with cable acess]).

[iago]

Lag isn't caused by what server you're on, games are totally peer-to-peer.  All that matters is who you're playing with. 

And no thanks @ gaming, I don't play online anymore.

Then why do I have 2k on East, 3 yellow on West, and 4 yellow-6 red on Europe/Asia? I'm not playing, the download for patch turned me off and I gotta go soon.

[iago]

Because the chat servers aren't where you play games.  Whether or not you have high ping on the chat servers doesn't matter when you're playing a game.

That ping is how long it takes for a packet to go to you and back to the server, that doesn't effect gameplay unless your playing D2 on closed.

[Ergot]

Because that's your ping with the B.Net server. Once in a game, it switched over to peer to peer. (Or is it server-client as well ;O?)

Edit: Shit two replies while I'm typing :(

[GameSnake]

I see. Interesting.

Then elaborate on the fact you're still transferring files over to an Asian in Asia, and the game is noticibly more laggier for me, a dial-up user, on Asia then East? Blizzard recommends connecting to your closest server I think and I just always thought that was why, because of areas-of-download (like it takes longer to get from Korea to Holland then Europe to Holland).
