Hi! Is there a similar version of map limits for Starcraft Remastered?

I've been looking on the forum and on various other sites, but I couldn't find anything. I think I have seen something similar in the past, but I can't seem to find it anymore.



None.

The number of locations is the same.
String space is practically unlimited, although I think the amount of strings is still capped at 1024?
I think the sprite doodad limit is gone, but maybe there's another, higher one.

The rest, I have no idea about.



Trial and error... mostly error.

Thanks! It seems I'll have to start digging on the korean sites.

When you say string space are you referring to the 65k byte string limit? I hit this limit in my map and SCMDraft2 won’t allow me to save it



None.

After 1.23.2 the 65K string limit was lifted, but going past it naturally makes the map incompatible with prior versions. It might not also be available in all versions of SCMDraft.

Yup, I had to download an Alpha version of SCMD2 in order to exceed the 65k and continue updating my map. Kind of weird that the latest public release doesn’t have support for 65k+



None.

Beats me. I've been using this feature since its inception and, barring one bug that was in the game, not editor - so duly reported to Blizzard and fixed in a subsequent update - there was never any issue.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
