+  * Promotes a Broadcast Warpgate.
+  *
+  * Change the map name of a warpgate into "Broadcast Warpgate."
+  * If a proper warpgate is not designated, nothing happens.
+  * The input state is a byte starting at 00 where the first valid "on" state is 20.
+  * Subsequent "on" states are 40 values apart - 20, 60, A0, and E0.
+  * All other numbers (seem to) default to the normal map designation for the warpgate.
+  *
+  * Exploration: is this packet merely cosmetic or does it change the functionality of a warpgate too?
+  * Exploration: are there any differences between the states besides "on" and "off"?
+  *
+  * @param continent_guid identifies the zone (continent)
+  * @param building_guid identifies the warpgate (see BuildingInfoUpdateMessage)
+  * @param state whether or not a warpgate is considered "broadcast;"
+  *            00, 20, 80, and A0 are common values; C0 is an uncommon value
