S.I.T.E
StarCraft Initiative for Terrain Extension
By DeltaCadimus
The intent of this project is what I call a "functional-enabling" mod, but one that isn't just for a single gameplay project, but for all. That is because this project seeks solely to extend terraining capacity to it's furthest possible, in particular allowing extended ramps and stacking cliffs in tilesets which otherwise weren't possible solely in SCMDraft (In aestethic and gameplay points of view, that is). This is done so to allow a more advanced form of terraining ability to mappers already versed in terraining aspects of StarCraft and SCMDraft 2 (Particularly Tileset Indexed) whom wish for more variations and higher levels of terrain that allow a more true expression of a tridimensional terrain within a 2D isometric perspective, which is what StarCraft is about.
The values this project upholds are commitment, dedication and, above all, as little clipping as humanly possible. As this purely deals with terrain, with no alterations to Iscript, AI, etc., it's expected this mod can be ported with no problems or crashing issues to other mod projects, as well as it can be modified (as long as it's mentioned and due credit is given) to suit the modder's necessities.
But, above all else, this mod (As in the diminutive of modification, really) is just so people can make neater terrain with multiple elevation levels, features, etc. Better space stations, actual cities (to the point of, when I get to the Badlands tileset, the highest priority will be making sidewalks along with stacking structure tilesets).
As this encompasses all tilesets, not just one or a few, this mod can be expected to be updated when it can (No promises of regular updates, as it's just myself pulling this weight), with as many new features as possible. For now, I can proudly launch this mod with stacked "Elevated Catwalk" cliffs and the proper extended ramps for the Space Platform tileset, which will still receive more updates as time goes by.
UPDATE 04/07/21 - Space Platform Tileset completed.

"My ideology, as a public figure whom writes an opinion column, is very well set: Press IS NOT propaganda. Should a journalist make propaganda for the government, I don't have the slightest corporate shame. I'll mock him."
"The government once called me an 'unreliable source'. It was the greatest compliment I could ever receive, I'd frame it and hang it on the wall. Imagine if I were considered a 'trustworthy man'. I'd change profession."
"I was once tired of the firefights at my doorstep. Now it's gone better - they started bombing."
