Map Corrupted after SCMDraft 2

Hello,

I have been working on a map for a few hours. I designed the terrain in SCMDraft 2 and have been working on the triggers/unit placement in StarEdit. I had to make a quick change to the terrain in SCMDraft 2. After making the changes and saving the map I am no longer able to open it in StarEdit. I am able to host the map and open it with SCMDraft 2 but I would like to be able to open it in StarEdit.

Can anyone help?

Thank you,
Pauper


EDIT: I was able to open the map in version 0.8 and save it as another file. After saving the map I am able to open it on StarEdit.

Okay, why don't you use Classic Trigedit that SCM Draft 2 offers for triggers?



Some.

Switching between Staredit and Scmdraft is a good way to ruin your map. Staredit can't load a lot of things that you can do in Scmdraft, so it messes up when trying to open the file.

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

That is for pretty much any editor btw. (probably except chkdraft?) because of ScmDraft's string recycling.

SCMDraft Classic Trigger is buggy. I really like the interface of the trigger editor in StarEdit.

If there are bugs, report them.

Using multiple editors will only cause you problems down the line.

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.
