Okay, I know you may not like this.....

.....But what is the program/hack/whatnot used to make the no clutter maps you see everywhere?

 

[Ilendil]

Use SCMDraft... it takes a while to do it though.

 

[Waterslayer]

What is SCM Draft, where can I get it, and how do I use it?

Also, where can I find a map protector program?

 

[Ilendil]

Sorry, I meant SCM Tool Kit... and it has the option to protect maps too.

There is a readme with the file you can use.

http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.net/dwnload.html

Look for the file by scrolling down a little below the middle and it should say "Programs" in big letters. Download everything it says for SCM tool kit.

I was also curious about this. I have scm toolkit, but i donno how to change it so one mineral can have unlimited workers on it. I read help, but it doesnt address that specific topic. Do you have to change a certain unit to a mineral field or something?

 

[Ilendil]

It is not 1 mineral, it is many, many, minerals stacked on each other. You have to seperately change the coordinates of each and every minerals in one of the tools in there.

You will have to pre-place minerals then put them in 1 spot.

oh

Ohhh, now I get it. Wow, that is very time costly. You have to know the exact coordinates of where you wanna play ! Oh well, I guess ill leave the melee map makers to do that. Thanks for the response

 

[nastytroop_69]

can some plz tell me which files for scm toolkit to download cause it says when a extract all the files together it says that a file can't be found. maybe i missed one. so can anyone help me out

 

[Ilendil]

You need to download everything that it says is required and one of the mpq2k files.

 

[Waterslayer]

I did that, but it gave me an error message saying I couldnt find a certain file. MPQL10 or something like that.

 

[nastytroop_69]

ya that happened to me too

 

[Waterslayer]

Well, no help eh?

I found a good substitute: StarCraft Extra Editoren... Yeah, mispelled... A german program, translated into english. Sorry, can't remember where I got it... Check camsys.org, campaign creations, or Custom creations... (Ask around, someone else should know)
The Special Mode allows you to stack anything... It works like staredit, so no mpq...


!Happy Hunting!

blek

what you speak of is SCXE which can be downloaded at my site in the english form, and in .zip format instead of .rar format like at the programs homepage:

[Waterslayer]

Scm draft is a pretty good program when it comes to stacking i made a lot of maps with it (for fun). Use it if u can handle its bugs.
