Having a problem with The Xtra Editors for Mac

I have tried downloading X-tra Editor, the map color thing, Staredit Emerald, and a couple other programs. It downloads them but when i try opening them it brings up a message that says, "There is no default application specified to open the document (name of editor)" So which application am i missing to run these programs. Remember, I have a mac.

They aren't designed to run with a Mac.
You can only use the Emerald Editor version for mac.

I have experienced your same pain (having a mac and what not).

But through it I have prevailed.Make sure your downloading the Emerald Edit from a good site such as this one:

http://customs.hyberia.com/util/

There now. You have Emerald. Rejoice. But, you say you want Xtra edit for the mac?!! and people say you cant do it?! Bull. I say you can, and heres how:

(1) http://customs.hyberia.com/util/ <<<<< Go here
(2) Download MaGZ's Emerald Aspect Patches
(3) Go into the Emerald Aspect Folder, and rename EA 2.0 r1 XE.mpq to StarCraft Mac Patch.
(4) Make a folder called 'Patch Backup' and put your old Starcraft mac patch in it
(5) put your NEWLY named StarCraft Mac Patch into the starcraft files folder and just click on you staredit. It will boot the extra edit

Now what I use (as a map maker) is Emerald. I find no use for the Xtra edit, except for if you want to put units REAAALLY close together.

Now if you want to play starcraft, you have to put the regular StarCraft Mac Patch back in you starcraft files (it wont play with the Xtra edit patch there). so just make sure you save both of them

THANKS!!! It does work!!! I just have one more question about Staredit Emerald. Is there anyway to make the square tiles instead of the diamond tiles that are in the regular staredit?!?! I am trying to make a bound and that's usually the type of tyles they use in a bound. Thanks again for telling me how to get Staredit emerald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)

try guedit it was made in java it looks like so it should work on any computer with a java vm installed (you can get them free from http://java.sun.com its a very lagy program but it will let you place square tiles of all sorts

Yea, there is no way (without an emulator of some sort) to open GUEedit, or watever. Im the guy from a couple posts above, believe you me, I know what can and cant be used with macs, gue edit is not one of them, being it has the ending .exe,

.exe programs cant be run with mac. even if you have java... so sorry, if you want to make a bound, its prolly not gonna work... unless someone programs a gue edit of sorts for the mac. I doubt........

I downloaded the GUedit, and it is a .jar file. I double clicked on it and the main menu opened up fine, but when i tryed loading a map it brought up a message that says, "402: MPQ2K not installed correctly." So then i clicked "Ok" and then it brought up another error. This error said, "405: Unable to start mpq2k. class java.io.IOE.lOException:mpq2k\mpq2k: not found. So i dont know if i did something wrong. Another question, how do i get Xtra-Editor for mac?
Well, Thanks

Im not sure where the correct place is. The thing is, is that inside the GUEdit folder there is another folder named MPQ2K. Well, inside the MPQ2K folder are some more files but the files all end in .exe. So i went to custom.hyberia.com/util/ and downloaded the Mac version of MPQ2K there. But now when i try opening it with the Mac version of MPQ2K inside of the GUEdit folder it brings up a different message. This new message says, "405: Unable to start mpq2k. class java.lOException:mpq2k\mpq2k: not found. So im just wondering if the Mac version of mp2k on custom.hyberia can replace the other one that came inside of the guedit folder, and if it can then why isnt it working?
Thanks

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
