Thank you guys for clearing stuff up. I was misinformed, and got all pissed over some false information. Stacked text was always ugly, so it doesn't matter much. Update your maps, or cross your fingers and hope the situation is remedied.

Here goes all the EUD conditions ?...
Quite radical patch, I must say... And guys, I think Good Overlaps look good. (if you overlap only two colors and overlap them to the right)

Overlaps can go, but they could at least make the maps with them playable

Waddaya mean? I can still stack unit names...
The only thing I noticed is that you can't join a game with a Map Title that has Overlapped text on it.
Also: What does the hexidecimal numbers in front of the color bars mean anyway?

i'm kinda split over the decision/bug over not play joinable stacked-name games. while its bounds that mostly suffer(which i don't really care about anyhow), some good maps like area 51 aren't gonna be palyable because of this.
my biggest problem with this is the player text color, it looks absolutely fugly. they should have just added a dash containing the color to the left side instead.
ADDITION:
the new wraith is farking ugly too

They didn't add a color editor. Where did you get that absurd idea?
You can now use new TEXT colors.. just copy and paste the little square blocks from the original post.

They are the ASCII values of the characters, since the characters themselves look somewhat alike.

this may or not matter, but i think patch has some other side-effect. apparently there's something in the patch the prevents starcraft from being loaded for people that runs on windows 2000 or something. some of my friends that try to run starcraft with 2000 won't load. it goes into a blackscreen to the desktop, so im thinking somehow blizzard made this patch incompatible with it...

Just so everyone doesn't have to see for themselves, the colors.
And another note, I do believe, if I'm not dreadfully mistaken, this new patch screws up mac editors, making it so you cannot save maps properly.

Is there a chance the SC editors are going to be updated for the ASCII Changes?
SCMDraft2, Starforge and SCXtra
I honestly like this new patch...and its about time blizzard patched SC
Hopfully the color coded names will stop spoofers...scince it doesnt really matter ne more...

Map descriptions also doesn't read the colors. This affects only single player maps though.
Wait, does the new tables mean that we have like more ingame colors to work with? Awesome if so.

I know but you usually play LAN alone, so you could call it single player.
I usually use LAN as anti-cheat in my maps.

Cool, i thought they were just taking laps away. I like the new colors too.
I mean, the patch isnt that bad guys right? We all know it was unexpected but like, for example, who really plays ladder?,
etc etc. I know we can all get used to it and be happy about it
