Hey gents, hopefully I am not annoying too much, but I am actually making progress, so this might be one of my last questions.

The Problem is the following: If I use scmdraft to change the colors of a player in the game the change works 100% fine. But for the preview map (the map that you see under 1.18 when you chose the map under create / that you see after u dled it in the lobby) the original colors of the player get shown (p1 = red, p2 = blue, p3 = teal...) Is there any way to fix this`?`

Thousand thanks!



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Did you save the map as .scx? (not .scm) Traditionally .scm doesn't support color change, but maybe they fixed it in 1.19 but forgot to fix it for briefing? (Sorry for wild theory)

I see you !

1.00 format SCM doesn't support color change, 1.04 format SCM stores the data but it is not used by starcraft.

But he says it works in-game but not in the lobby

E: I can confirm it happens even with SC:R and scx.

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.
