Version history

So what bugs exactly were changed?

Fixed, not changed, and most of them were things like vista compatibility, spelling errors, such extremely minor things ;)

IP, is there anyway to make Classic TrigEdit remember its previous window size, because it always reset to ~600x550. Since I have desktop resolution of 1920x1200, I have to resize CTrigEdit every time I open it to see more triggers.

Umm, every time that I, or my friend on his computer, change a unit attack stat, when we look at that unit again it will display as 0. Is there any way to fix that? We didn't see this problem in earlier versions.

[EDIT] We're both running Windows XP, if that matters.

Sorry about that, some debug code was still active, you'll need to redownload

Would it be possible for me to get access to the Mac version, I dont mind bugs, and I will report any that I find?

My account name is SnipeDragon

This sucks. i say create 1 unit and it creates 4

You probably have the trigger running for 4 players than, and each time it runs for one of these 4 players it creates 1 for a total of 4.

Nope. I said "Player 1" and it created 4 for player 1

Yes, but who owns the trigger?

Oha, it still cannot open a file with a Chinese filename or location. I hope you can add some international support

It should open maps with unicode characters in the filename. It wont be able to save them however. I do not know if it will open maps that are in folders with unicode names. The problem with unicode support is that it requires the entire GUI to be redone, not just the code that opens the map, and it will then also not be compatible with windows 95 and most likely 98.

I said Force one... That's what Player 1 is on.

yes, but if there are other players in force 1 the trigger will execute for every one of them, and create multiple units

some great addition that i dunno is possible is changing the tech tree for buildings and units.. thats probly in te game interface and not the map....
and colors werent working the right way before. lol, unit and square terrain mirroring would be fun to toy with. But I have had absolutly no bugs since the last one came! keep up the good work.

okay, when I try to open a protected map, it tells me that that feature is disabled, how do I enable it?

Excellent work, SCMDraft remains the best editor to date. I can't believe some people still think StarForge is better. I guess they still think SCMDraft won't do triggers. Man, where have they been?

There are some issues, though, putting players into the right forces. Check out bug #170 on http://scmdraft.stormcoast-fortress.net/?action=bugs&list=Scmdraft

Oh, and...


You can't. Setting that option requires recompiling the source code for the editor, and it's not open source. It's best that you can't open protected maps anyway.

Bug report:

Whenever I change the tileset of a map, I always encounter "death squares" that force SCMDraft to crash. I never know where these voracious little buggers are until I come across them.

Can you email me a map which crashes?

Ok, this would be a great addition to the next one:
Its annoying to re-add triggers to new maps manually so being able to export and import triggers to maps and out like the original editor would be great!

wut file do i put the scmdraft zip file into?

Any directory you want to use.

im confused. the scmdraft file is .exe. what do i do with it?

Im running on a mac, by the way.

Im having a problem with scm draft. I noticed that wen i try to look at trigs (right click, locations) it crashes. Im not quite sure wat to do i haf tried re-installing it but same thing.

im using a comp that i dont usually use but wen i use the other comp, it works. i dont get it (recent vers of scm draft)

Can anyone help me on how scm draft (recent one) switches work. Im not sure how to use switches. O ya i'm also looknig for people to help me in my rp called RP - Morrowind so if any1 wanna help let me no ;)

This editor would be the best. only need fix lot of glitch, good work

When it tells me "Cannot complete to destination (file URL) then i save it says "Runtime error!" "requested to close in an unusual way" or something its really really GAY

Whenever I build a unit (SCV, Nuke, Marine, etc.) an error occurs and the game literally crashes... How come?

is there anyway of making this happen?

red-zerg zergling +1 upgrade
blu-zerg zergling +2 upgrade

like evy comp hafing thare own upgrade(s)

anyway to do that?

like will zerg campaign easy only up to 1 while zerg campaign medium ups to 2.

is thare anyway? im making a map that requires that :D

im making a halo map ware red= hard elite so it needs higher upgrade then blus elite. (all same unit)
anyway to do that without using a dif unit?

o...i think i found it. thxs anyway ill always go here for help :D

any1 no how sprites work? i cant use em on my map (a siege tanks round explosion will crash the game) anyways to use em without crashing sc???

If there is one thing that would make this completely better than everything, it would be a Trigger Editor interface like in StarForge. Also I couldn't delete out extra sound files using SCMDraft, only with StarForge.

And try not to use sprites that crash, not all of them do :P

this shit wont f***in work im getting pissed dammit

I keep encountering a message saying "Verified String Usage!"
Now none of my new triggers work- Also I can't get the Display Text Message triggers to work in game.

The String Section Info suggests that I have so far used only 10.1% and i still have 1024 strings available.

What does that message mean?
Please help me, I have worked hard on this editor, and I don't want to start from scratch..

The only sprites that seem to work without flaw, are the Doodad sprites. It's rare but possible that any other special effect sprite will work without crashing the game.

How u make trigers

I hafing a prob with this 1 trig that goes like this:

Players:
All Players

Condition:
Player 3 Brings [at least] [1] [men] to [location]

Action:
Play WAV [wav file]
Wait for [milliseconds(5000 miliseconds)]
Play WAV [wav file 2]
Wait for [millseconds (5000 miliseconds)]

then that repeats 1 mroe time but then when i play it, it plays the wav, then waits like a minute. i am making sure it is 5000 milis. and i haf tried 500 milis still no works.

O ya the wav's r voices from protoss arbiter soooooo ya

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

Try using Hyper triggers,

Condition: Always
Action: Wait 0 Miliseconds (a lot of times).

Can anyone ban the morons who are asking for map help?

Edit: Infact, can someone ban EVERYONE who is asking stupid questions?

Last edited at: 3-11-2007 22:34:22

Can you tell me what's going on with scmdraft, it keeps crashing when i rename locations, and when it doesn't crash one of them somehow gets corrupted and it keeps telling me to report it every 5 seconds

Earlier today, SCMDraft 2 was working perfectly, like it normally does. A little while ago, though, every time I tried to open it, a message would come up saying that it couldn't load the main MPQ (stardat.mpq). It keeps saying that over and over again and SCM Draft 2 keeps crashing. I even re-installed the program at least 5 times, but the same problems keeps occurring. How do I fix it?

Thanks.

any newer versons of Scm2 coming out??

Is there anyways to control the sprites? I want it to appear in a certain area at a certain time. I did a test with the sprites, it worked fine, without crashing. And is ther anything that X-tra can do that SCMdraft can't?

Last edited at: 22-11-2007 02:37:10

That weird wen i try using sprites it crashes sc

every time i try to run t it says: Fatal Error Failed loading primary MPQ (stardat.mpq)....

by the way i searched all over the internet for
StarFire RP for sc. if you have it please msg me as chaze007@aol.com. or my aim-chaze007 thankyou.

loverz this editor, Plain And Simple =D

Fail. Read up moron.

Oh, and great editor, but everyone, don't use 0.8.0 it sucks, there's a unit bug that makes it crash starcraft if you select or build any random unit at any random time, use 0.7.3 its the best version to this date.

And someone said, "how do i create triggers", you ****ing idiot you don't deserve such a great editor if you can't figure that out.

StarForge and X-tra sucks, SCMDraft is the best.

And as for the Trigger Editor (not Classic Trigger Editor) and the Briefing Editor (again not Classic Briefing Editor) you really need to fix them... I mean c'mon "Don't use tree it's buggy" that's just mean and when u change/add/remove triggers it doesn't do anything.

the other s suck but this scm rox

Um, why do I keep getting string corruption errors whenever I edit the text in the manual trigger editor... This shouldn't be happening.

Note: I am NOT copying and pasting...

every time i open scmdraft a message appears saying fatal error... does anyone know what the problem is?

how do i open this program?

Why are all you f***ing retarded Mac users asking 'how i opin dis program???' for a PC oriented application? Jesus christ, this isn't a mapping help forum, this is a comment box for a popular map editor.

If you need help with mapping go to Staredit.net or warboards.org.

I'm having trouble downloading. When i click download, Ill click open, itll download, then nothing happens.

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?

Hey I have a problem with SCMDraft. When I save a map or when SCMDraft auto saves it crashes for some reason...

some sprites crash starcraft and some dont and some just do weird things, like disappear or crash starcraft when you look at them...

String Editor keeps crashing. cant use it on any map. i have to use other editors.

Yes, first go to player-settings. Next, click the tab upgrades. Finally, press the checked box and input the level for that specific player.

When I open Scmdraft 2.0 (Beta 0.8.0) it will come up with a large gray screen. I thought maybe I should try to open something, but I can't open Starcraft maps. It automatically brings me to the "My Documents" page.

What do I do? Or, is there a different version I should try downloading?

Find your starcraft directory and load to maps there you will be able to access some maps.

I have a problem here theres a problem with my map it always shuts down when I try load the map i think the problem is the String editor when I load it it says: "something bad happened, would you like to save a diagnostic file?"

and thats what I think the reason of the random shuting down is Can some one help with my maps my friend
overlord
on battle net needs me to help him with my maps I am so confused.

Same I have no Idea why though I am still investigating

Hello. I have a problem with a couple of my maps. I need to do some modification to the briefings and have to do it in SCMDraft so the maps don't get messed up by opening them in Star Edit, however after making my changes the briefings don't work at all. I an effort to find a solution I have discovered the warnings about "Do not use briefing editor" etc (it's a little late for that now), but what can I do now to make my briefings work again? thx

-CH

Just wondering, where are you supposed to extract the files to?
Someone on warboards said if a reinstalled it, it would fix most of my bugs, but I don't think you can install it.
I'm so confused! Please help :/

Normally you should be capable of right clicking and pressing extract files.

any particular place i should extract them to?
