L'éditeur n'est pas fini, mais il a un potentiel énorme !!!
Dommage qu'il soit en anglais, mais il e faut pas demander la lune non plus ^^.
Je te souhaite une bonne continuation Suicidal Insanity

Unless you have a use for your old ones...But..After You use this and see its features youll only use this AWESOME editor, NICE WORK SUICIDAL INSANITY!!! Cant wait for another update.

The Editor don't work...
Exactly I can start the "Map-creating-window" but if I press on "OK" I get the msg.: "Fatal Error: Failed loading primary MPQ (stardat.mpq)"
Please can some one help me?
I WANT TO WORK WHIS THIS EDITOR!

Setup your profile, most likely you do not have starcraft installed properly and you need to set your starcraft path

Best editor EVER. Only thing I use...Ever. One thing... the editor works fine, but when I start it, I get an error saying "The procedure entry point RichEdit10ANSIWndProc could not be located in the dynamic link library RICHED20.dll." It doesn't seem to mess anything up in the editor; it's just..there.

Anyway, great job on the editor, love it!! :)

Umm... When I save, it says "Something bad happened," and some options to save where, and then it goes away, unsaved. All my maps do that. Why!?

When I deleted the program from my computer, downloaded it again, it worked. Weird.

Ok, now it doesnt work at all. Why!?!?

ok my zoom locks up the program not that it is a huge deal just wondering if ne 1 els is having thes problems

also could be because i use vista...

Its a bug in vista that zoom and resizing locks up scmdraft. There is a version linked int the SEN forums that should fix that bug.

Yo suicidal insanity, i'm still having the "something bad happened! would you like to save a draft copy? Tell me what happened before it crashed!" everytime i save or auto save. its very annoying cuz i cant make maps then.

thanks

Rename backupDB.scmdDB. (Do not delete it)
Then email me or upload the renamed backupDB.scmdDB somewhere so I can analyse what is going wrong and fix this. Deleting it just means if it happens again I still wont have a fix.

hmm... ok. where is the backupDB.scmdDB? (and thanks for trying, even if you cant fix it)

Its in your scmdraft folder. So whereever you extracted it to.

ok, done. im not too good with computer, how do i upload them onto the site? sorry ;)

for some reason when i go to change the weapon damage for something like a tank their isnt anything its all grayed out and when i play the maps i make in this no one has any attack iv used this program a wile ago but that was on a different comp. whats up with this?

Suicidal Insanity its so nice :)
its just that i still think X-tra editor(trigger edior) goes faster to use than ScmDraft2, u should make it as a selection in options so u can choose what style u want, X-tras trigger-editor, or classic trigger-editor.
maybe you should make some kind of readme on hard things 2 do for noobs like, stack bunkers, f*** up unit image and unit lifes.
/ love your making, best wishes nwnl^^

I have a really small problem nothing big at all, if anyone could help me it would be appreciated. Now, I've used SCMDraft for a while and it is definitely the best editor out there, but how do you clear your map history when you go to recent maps because its getting a little cluttered, and I'd like to keep it to the maps im working on right now.

You can preview the string your editing/making in the Scenario > String Editor, this includes the preview of colors.
Start Menu > Run... > Type regedit and press enter > Locate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER:Software:Stormcoast Fortress:ScmDraft 2:RecentMaps, then change it to what you want.

SI,
I can't seem to get Starcraft to recognize that there are human players, when I try a running test of a map. But when I go out to ScmD it says there are human, neutral, and comp. Like I want it to. I could use a little help on this one, because I'm probably overlooking something. Thanks.

Also, now that I look at it... SC doesn't recognize any players period. human, comp, or neutral.

I get this error everytime I try to create a location...

Something Bad Happened

I resolved the problem once by saving a backup copy but this time it isn't working... I can't open the map in any other map editor either, X-tra, Forge, none of them works with my map except SCMDraft and I can't make locations... I need a few more to finish the map... I'm so frustrated... it's almost finished. Can somebody please help me, SI, anyone?

Hello, ive got the zooming problem to, and using vista32... Im looking for some super dupa hot fix, but they just dont seem to be any fixes, how ever SOMETIMES when i start scmdraft2 zoom out when there's no map loaded and quickly create a new map and press zoom out quickly it works, but like i said sometimes:0
Any help would be apreciated.
LOVE U GUYS!

Thnx for the REPLY~!!

To fix the zoom lockup bug, try messing with the compatibility modes. Mine worked best when it disabled the desktop themes.
