Awsome!!

Cool stuff i found out.
______________________________________________
-When you deleat a unit it will explode or die whatever unit ure deleating and it will leave its corps. Thats much better that it just disapearing.
-It has a zoom!
-The unit makes noise when u place it.
and other features like Save Map Image and Debug.
-Easy to use. For me anyway.
-You can change the Tileset.

Down Falls:
______________________________________________
Trigger and Mission Breifing is hard.
Think thats it...

What would be cool:
-If the user could make the unit move, like if their really playing StarCraft. Like click on a SCV and Right click on the minerals and itl start to gather and stuff... maybe its too much, but it would be a good idea for noobs to make workers mine at the starting of a game.

-Placing Unfinish building in the Map Editor, Like when cunstructing a Command Center when Its not finish, and during the game a scv can finish building it. But like i said, i don't expect it being done.

Overal Score: 9

My opinion this is alot better then Starforge, plus it doesnt take as much room, good job.

Trigger - 5/10
Briefings - 5/10
Color Coding - 7/10
Terrain - 10/10
Sprites - 7/10
Not Crashing - 8/10
Style - 9/10

Overall - 7/10

HOW DO U MAKE TRIGGERS????????????/

Love it exept for trigger I give it a 8/10

ok i agree on the triggers part....that part is alittle...hard..

The triggering interface will be improved later, however it may be a few months until we find time to work on it alot.

I love it. My only bag would be the lack of a typing interface for the rectangular terrain like Starforge. That would make it better in almost every way to Starforge. I've found that the trigger editor is easy enough to use if you open the help file and click back and forth. If you didn't think of that I'm unsure how amany digits your IQ can be...

Overall 8.86/10
Trigger - 7/10
Briefings - 7/10
Color Coding - 10/10
Terrain - 9/10
Sprites - NA/10
Not Crashing - 10/10
Style - 10/10

nvm. Fixed it.

You have to download a file called Trigedit, and place it in your scmdraft2 folder, i'm not in my own comp right now, so i forgot what to do exactly for that.

You just need the latest scmdraft 2 version (0.5.5), it includes trigedit.

o lol woops my bad, time to dl this version :D

Awesome, just awesome. I have both SCXE and SCMdraft2.
Now I don't have to use Starforge and SCXE to add a little extras! Now I can JUST use SCMdraft2 to build my maps without using SCXE's easy to use mission brefings, units, and triggers!

Awesome! I can't wait for SCMdraft3! If it ever comes out.

this is great make more!!!!

It Says you can open protected maps but i se no place to enable opening protected maps


And im not doing it ot mess with others maps i need to edit my map and i acsudently protected editing v plz help

well actualy,SCMDraft 2 is a very nice editor,it's my best map maker,i usualy use tile set indexdeen,however you spell it,well,anyways,it's the best ive seen,the 4 editors i use are SCMDraft,SCXE,and SCMDraft 2,because SCMDraft can a units health 0,and SCMDraft 2 can make square and rectange terrain plus it is the exact same kind with tileset exendeed,omg,i still can't spell it right,oh well,atleast it's a good editor,i havent found any bugs yet,it never crashes unless i try to put too many sprites/units on the map and delete them all too fast,thats the only part it crashes at,i am realy starting to get mad when it happens,but still,it's a good editor

Last edited at: 25-07-2005 16:57:35

How do you USE! the trigedit... because i can't figure it out!!

Are you sure you aren't using an odler prerelease?
Also you can disable death animations, that should stop it from occuring.

Overall to me
10/10

Things Should Be Worked on Will Have 7 or less...

Triggers 10/10
Briefs 10/10
Animations 10/10
Terrain 9/10
Stacking 10/10
Zoom 6/10
Sprites 7/10
Doodads 5/10
Naming 6/10 (I Can't Tell What I Named!)
Color Cycling 8/10
All Settings 9/10
Locations 10/10
Grid 10/10
No Crashes 10/10
Wav Sounds 4/10 (I Can't Get Them)

Things You Should Add:

-Colors For Names (Text Msgs, Briefs, Unit Names etc)
-Unfinished Buildings
-Enabled Triggers And Briefs
-Fix Namings
-Make Sprites A Little More Realistic
-Make Doodads The Same As They Would Appear in Game
-Be Able To Get Wav Sounds From SCMDraft2 0.5.5
-Make More Zoom Angles

Thats All I Ask For (Expecting Delays But Wish For No Delays)

this is the best editor since the SC X-tra Editor, great 9.5/10

k this is dumb as f***
here is what i get
i open my profile and it gives me an error loading plugin,and an error loading trigedit plugin

Keep the directory structure of the zip intact!
IE make sure trigedit is in plugins/ subfolder of scmdraft

Can someone help cause when i saved my bound to starcraft when i go to play it, it sayserror creaking game or something like that. =P

oNE QUESTION ABOUT TERRAINS? Can you make access terrains in jungle and space ?

Unless blizzard patches starcraft to support this, no. It currently is impossible.

like what u mean but scmdrft is kind of nice

says error* creating*

Email me the map, I can take a look.

What I like about this, is that it's usefull when it comes to non-text/triggers things to do. Units n terrain are very easy to place. I was very suprised cause the zoom feature is something you don't see on any othe editors. No requirement! just unzip n run. And so many extra feature that can make a good map.

What I hate, are the triggers, briefing, ect. very complicated stuff. What about map protection? It's like, the thing that every editor should have. And in my opinion, a quick peek at it makes it look so low quality compared to SCXE. (but explore the editor before really comment about it. Give it a chance) But with all those features, I get lost sometimes. Like "map load" type, why not just make 1 directory that leads u to a window with settings that have 2-4 modes?

This editor is the perfect match with SCXE. An awsome editor, but can use huge improovement. I'd give it a 7.5/10.

For the most part this is a great editor.

However... the trigger editor is dirving me up a wall!!!!!!!!! It crashes more times than I could ever count.... "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" "Something bad happened" over and over and over .... ehh.

and the backup manager is very confusing.... it should have dates on the backups.. so I have at least some clue which is which. I load the first one and the last one and they both seem to be very old versions of a map.. and so i'm left with my map full of triggers that keeps corrupting and crashing the editor... and I can't just edit it with another editor or else it will delete a bunch of doodads and other stuff that scmdraft so kindly allows me to place...

This is a serious pain....

It needs work, for sure.

The trig editor is annoying as heck, and having to type or copy/paste everything is annoying. Have a trig editor like scxe, it works just fine.

For setting players, colors for them, and forces, that's a pain. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Currently, the only thing I use this for is to lay out terrain and stack things. I use scxe for everything else.

=======

Edit: Added suggestion:

Don't know if it'd make SC crash or anything like that...but if it's possible, I'd like to see where you could mix terrain types onto others.

Personally, I like, and was SEEKING a text-based trigger editor, because I find it much faster to do tedious tasks such as making tons of similar triggers with slight differences, but with text you just do ctrl+c ctrl+v easy, fast, simple. With the standard staredit type - you have to press buttons, and go through all of the damn windows..... there are no great text fetaures like find and replace or even find at all. Definately not for noobs, but for a real trigger author, text-based editing is the best. I just wish the parser wouldn't crash so damn often.... now I'm stuck waiting for a new version of scmdraft to come out just so i can edit my damn triggers without having to use the tedious menus found in staredit/scxe/starforge (starforge crashes anyways...).

However, I think in time, scmdraft should have a basic and advanced editor, one text based like a beefed up version of what it is now(ie w/ line numbers and standard text functions like you might find in winxp's simple notepad or wordpad) .. which would be the advanced veriosn.. and the basic version.. would be for the noobs, that can't remmber all the codes and need to have menus to choose from and to order everything. that way everyone is happy, unless somoen can think up a third way to edit the triggers that they might suggest.

If you have a version of your map that crashes trigedit when compiling without changing anything, email it to me and I can check it out. Trigedit will be redone, however there is currently no planned timeframe.

hehehehe .. I've got several versions usually i delete the ones that don't work anymore, but it is easy to recreate .. all I have to do is save the working file as something else.. I don't even have to change anything.. I'm always afraid to save or else I'll mess up my copy and then it will have some crazy problem that doesn't really make sense but happens anyways...

let's see... contact information...... where might I find your email?

this is the best editor ever in my opinion. the trigger editor is actually a pro for me, not a con. they should keep it, just add the one that the original uses. the reason i like it is because its great for quick, copying small triggers, pasting, just once you learn how to use it, its the best.

I do not understand the triggers in this, it is just a blank screen, what do i do?

NO FAIR A CANT GET SCM DRAFTS BECAUSE IM MAC OSX

I just wanna say this editor is amsome...

I just wanna say this editor is amsome...

No kiddin, The crashes annoy me to death, but I now use SCXE for triggers, breifings, names, settings ect

The Trigger thing is confusin and crashes more often than anything and yes it does pop "SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED" grrrrr...

*edit* ect- A sign to make others beleive more than you actually do =D

I WOULD USE STARFORGE BUT STARFORGE HAS A SCROLLING PROBLEM WHICH I HATE SO I USE THIS AND E-XTRA EDITOR.
SCMDRAFT 6.0 IS GOOD FOR TERRAIN
E-XTRA EDITOR IS GOOD FOR MAP COLORS

I DONT WANT TO BE A CRITIC BUT...

THERE NEEDS TO BE CORECTIONS ON SCMDRAFT 6.0:

1. MAP COLORS/TEXT COLORS !!!
2. MISSION BRIEFINGS !!!

IF THESE ARE FUFILLED THEN WHO NEEDS X-TRA EDITOR OR GOOD FOR NOTHIN STARFORGE...
I WILL USE THIS AS MY EDITOR FOR EVERYTHING

WHAT WOULD BE COOL IS COPY AND PASTE TERRAIN
WELL ANYWAYZ...
A GOOD MAP MAKER = ME
NEEDS THE PROPER EQUIPTMENT

ANYWAYZ
THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM BUT I ONLY USE IT 75%

I HATE THE CRASHES
OMG
I LOST A HOLE MAP TO IT
IT CURRUPTS MY MAP SO ONCE THE MESSAGE
" SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED"
APPEARS....

IM SCREWED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IS HAVING TILESETS FOR EVERY TILESET: FOR EXAMPLE : JUNGLE TILESET AND SNOW TILESET...

WELL ITS JUST A THOUGHT...

I thought someone up there said that this version came with the trigedit... So now I have to go get that as well?

Tried to Zip it. It starts up normal but when I try to actually use it a message comes up saying "error loading plugin" and it closes out

this is juz great, except for brief n trigger, triger now they added the classic, so trigger is good, but not the briefin.. anywayz, wats sprites?
if u wan to use it, u must EXTRACT it, not takin it out, becuz the trigedit must be in a file call "plugins".

this program is juz awesome.. i can finally create my own super RPG game like finaly fantasy n watever.. wif the colour changin n the tiles n of course the upgrades includin the AI scripts, its a real must to hav!! kinda hard to edit quality of watever thing (editin the numbers) if u create something on this, u might not be able to open it in SCedit or SCXE. i think if SCmdraft 3 out.. i will surely DL it =P

9/10 (without countin sprites)

1 more thing, since they added the classic trigedit, u should use the classic if u wan low crash =P

i got the somethng bad happend, but they say "something bad might happened, willl u save ur files?"

i got the somethng bad happend, but they say "something bad might happened, willl u save ur files?"

I cant get it to work... when i highlight "default" and push "ok" it says "error loading plugin."
*pushes ok* "error loading trigedit plugin. scm draft will now shut down."

O__o

good editor, but now i cant use it cuz it says "error loading plugin".
is the version of sc?
only i can use the old version :(

oh..checking the message top i found that trigedit.sdp is in a folder called plugins "O.O"

And in winzip it says "pathplugins"

LoL

VISIT Luke's Download's Site!!! :P

I Have A Map And Whenever I Try To Open It On SCXE or StarEdit, It Crashes.

Any Ideas Why?

Thanks A Lot

i dont understand this might sound nooby but how the hell do u make square terrain. Like make terrain without the edges like in catnmouse jungle 4.0 or X-i defence. Just got file so am not to sure how to use:P

Nvm i figured out how too make square terrain and stuff jus had too look around hehe thanks neways

Wtf^^ why wont this work i dont get it ot keeps telling me error loading plugin and error loading trigedit can anyone help me?

Wtf. Fuck you Qwerty Dildo.

Anyway...

This latest version of SCMDraft is superb.
Awesome lay out and features, with the exception of the TrigEdit.
9/10 due to TrigEdit/Mission Briefings.

This here is much better than StarForge, and a bit better than SCXE.

I agree with you, Doughboy, as that is the biggest piece of spam I have ever had my misfortune to see.
Overall, I give SCM Draft a 9 out of ten with two thumbs up, the thing is a dream come true. I just wish that the X-Tra Editor didn't crash every time that I loaded an SCM Draft map with doodads placed. I also wish that TrigEdit would stop crashing when I'm not using it. I've gone through 3,000,000 "Something bad happened" windows already, it is infuriating. The square terrain option is a blessing, and so is the tileset indexed option. I've made a little caution line on one of my maps using a section of the pit door doodad with the tileset indexed terrain option, it's quite handy. I just wanted to thank you for making this wonderful map editor and I can't wait for a non-buggy version.
Word of advice to everyone: Don't delete too many units with the death animations option on, if you delete an insane amount, you crash.

One of my friends on B.net told me that there was a 0.5.6 out, is this true?

i have seen many map editors but scmdraft blows them all away for people giving it a 8/10 or lower please go and find out all of the other features. i give this editor a 10/10 only problem i found so far is while im making a map every once in a while it crashes
