Theres nothing really complex about this problem. :

It was like any other save.. i wasnt experimenting with anything abnormal in the editor. I click save... and something bad has happened.
I figure it was a silly bug, so, i close scmdraft and try again (i had recently saved before)
Behold! another crash -.-
I figure theres something iffy about my map... so i start troubleshooting. i opened a different map and tried to save.
WTF!! another crash!!! >.>
Something is wrong, should i send in a diagnostic file... and just re-install?



None.

Use ScmDraft 0.7.3. Less features, but much more stable.

Most of the time you just have to delete all your backup saved files and it stops. If it gets above a certain amount of megabytes then it does that.

My SCMDraft crashed the other night for some random reason. I don't know if this helps, but at the time, I had written my first hyper trigger. Were you by any chance using hyper triggers? And is it possible that some versions of SCMDraft doesn't like hyper triggers?



None.

Hyper triggers have nothing to do with it. That was merely a coincidence.
Deleting the backup database is a good idea though.

Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!

If it still crashes, try changing the .MPQ to broodat, or manually going into your C: drive to select it in the Master Settings.

If you do all that good stuff, and it keeps crashing, here's a download straight from SCFT.

EDIT: it is 0.8.0, however. I haven't had any problems, and my computer is probably the first to have errors.
