Does anyone know how you can make StarEdit import the .wav files that are already in StarCraft? Like, if I say wanted the Terran computer to play a sound, is there a way i could do that without actually extracting the .wav file from the mpq and importing it? Extracting the .wav file adds a lot of size to the map file. I want it to be like, when you are playing the map, the sound file plays from the .mpq location and not from a .wav file that you had to import, therefore adding no extra space. I read somewhere you can do this with StarEdit 4.0 and SEE (whatever that is), but i dont have either of those. Thnks for any help.

He didn't want to actually import the sound file itself, as it would add size to the map file.
He just wants to have a pointer to a file that's already in the MPQ file, so the map doesn't need to include the sound (since starcraft already comes with it)

Hmmm, thats pretty confusing. What is StarEdit Enhancer? And where can I get StarEdit 1.04...would that require me to downgrade my SC to 1.04? I have StarDraft but it says:
"Open your map with the patched SE. Open the Sound Importer, and then enable the StarEdit Enhancer (via clicking on the button in the Stardraft Control Center widow).
Set the import path in the StarEdit Enhancer so it matches the path of the path of the sound in the MPQ you want. I.E.,"

Thats where i get lost. It says enable the S.E.E. via clicking the button on the StarDraft Control Center window....whats that? Whats S E E? Thanks again for any additional help!

You don't need to use it... and you don't need to downgrade SC to 1.04, it says 1.04 or later. Otherwise, the S E E thing your talking about shows up after the Stardraft Editor comes up... it is behind the editor somewhere.

I now understand what S E E is. However, it isnt included with the version that is provided on the site despite the article stating so. I was using Platinum Aspect Patcher and noticed the black mini screen in the background running labeled "Special Features: StarEdit Enhancer." I clicked enable and it gave me the following error message: "Error StarEdit v1.04 must be running. This will not work with StarCraft." So I guess this means I do need to downgrade my StarEdit. The feature apparently lets you import any type of file through sound importer. Is there a way to temporarily downgrade JUST StarEdit? I play a lot on b.net so I really dont want to downgrade my StarCraft. Thanks again for any help!

I think the regular Staredit is v1.04... and your saying your using the modified editor, so its not v1.04, you can try using the regular Staredit.

The version of StarEdit im using isnt 1.04. Apparently 1.04 is the one that comes on the BroodWar cd. I found the following stuff on the net about this:

(from custom cc)
. Save the CHK file and import it into your map with the StarEdit Enhancer. I have heard that this does not work on anything above Staredit 1.04. The solution to this is to use Staredit 1.04. I reinstalled Brood War, made a copy of Staredit, and then upgraded it back to whatever version it is now. I have heard that there is some easier way to get Staredit 1.04, but I didn't need it, so I didn't bother to remember it. After importing it into the map, close Staredit and play the map in Starcraft

And there is a faq about it here: http://slaimus.virtualave.net/faq.html

I am still lost. w/o SEE it isnt gonna work, and i cant get SEE to work.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
