Found the problem. My bitshifting operations were wrong. Edited the problem code in the post but haven't updated the source cause I'm lazy

Hello. I bough a new phone recently, an android one, and have decided to port starcraft to it. It will be a nice little learning experience. So I want the port to use the original files. (Graphics, Tilesets, scripts, etc.) with some files removed to save space. I read up on internet about how the tiles are stored.

Quote

VX4: MegaTile Graphics
This file contains references to the MiniTile images and states if they are flipped.
Struct size: 32 bytes (16 shorts)
Max ref. ID: 65535

Offset Type Name Description
+0x00 16xSHORT Images The first bit (bit0) is the horizontal flip flag, the remaining 15 bits (bit1-15) are the VR4 index.

Like the above states I use the C++ code

Quote

index = megatile.images[mit]/2;
flip = !megatile.images[mit] >> 15;//FoUND problem this should be << 15!!!!!
minitile = miniTiles[index];

And it works, but the flip isn't always read correctly. Is it something I did wrong or is the information incorrect?
This is my source
Leaving the source. Feel free to use it

Fascinating, it seems you're adept at this sort of work you're doing.

Anything else you've come across that is particularly note worthy?

Plenty of people have tried to port starcraft

(sc lite = Ds starcraft homebrew which i've tried and sucks)
(sc 64 = n64 port)

Trust me you can never really capture the spirit of starcraft on a phone since its too basic. Iphone/ipad maybe but thats it.

Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a seat missing, but it hurts.
