How come when I put doodad Sprites from Scmdraft then save it and open it in scxe they disappear?

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

X-tra Editor doesn't support many sprites that SCMD2 and starforge support, and deletes them upon opening the map. Solution: Don't use X-tra Editor!

Switching map editors is generally bad for a multitude of reasons... For example, StarForge will make any sound file corrupt and delete itself, and also on rare occasions change properties of particular sprites. X-tra Editor doesn't support as much as SCMD2 and SF and deletes a few dozen types of units/sprites, usually without prompting or stating "There were x number of illegal units" as a fair warning. X-tra editor also frowns upon null terrain and non-isometric tiling. SCMD2... Hmm... I haven't found one in particular yet, but I might, someday.

scx is expansion :P scm is vanilla

Don't use X-tra with the other editors, it often has problems working with their terrain and their doodads, but if you don't want it to screw up doodads, just use SCM Draft, since SF will automatically place doodads with their sprites separate.



None.

UndeadStar -- https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
