Testing new map, game crashes on map selection

Using ScmDraft2
Created the basics of my map and was going to test the location mapping. Saved the map as both .scm and .scx
Single player UMS, as soon as I try to select either map the game crashes and gives a 'What happened' bug report. (yes, only those two maps)
I read through Heinermann's sticky, I checked my error's folder, it was blank.
I tried to open the map in the classic editor but that crashes as well.

Without any error logs or bug reports, I have no idea why it crashes my game and won't open in original editor.

Maybe one of you can figure it out or get an error code or something.
Thanks in advance for any helpers out there.

You have invalid dimensions. Maps can only have widths and heights of 64, 96, 128, 192, and 256*. You have 180 for the height, which is why it crashes. Scmdraft allows you enter in custom values for the width and height, but Staredit doesn't, which is why you can't open it in there.

*Technically you can have other values such as 12 or 20, but those require you to play a map beforehand so they're not the best values to use if you plan on playing this map with others.

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.
