I've changed the location settings to clip names, didn't work. I've reset all defaults, still can't see them. What do I need to do?

Map editor: SCMDraft 2



None.

Things to try:

1) Make sure the strings aren't corrupt. Try renaming a location.
2) Toggle the location layer off and back on (i.e., switch to a different layer and switch back, making sure Permanent Locations is disabled).
3) Create and delete a location.
4) Close and reopen the map.
5) Reinstall Scmdraft.

Things I want to know:

1) Is this only for one map?
2) Is this for all locations?
3) Clipping doesn't get rid of location names, it just wraps them if the location is small. What happened when you toggled clipping?
4) Are you hitting any limit such as the string limit?

Are you saying that you could never see them, so then you tried to change the settings to clip names and then off again and still can't see them?

If you're on Vista or Windows 7, try setting the compatibility mode of scmdraft2 to Windows ME.



None.

None of Roy's things worked, but yours did.
Thanks, mate!

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
