Every time I try to get a map editor to load it says "stardat.mpq not found". Also, if I try to use a program, an example being scSoundUtility, it says stardat.mpq not found. This really sucks an I need to know how to fix it please. My stardat.mpq file is clearly visible and has not be changed by anything. In fact, I have reinstalled sc 3 times to try to fix this.

Is SC in the default directory, also, in SCM Draft you can select exactly where it is.

in regedit (start->Run... "regedit") go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Starcraft and make sure that the values for InstallPath, Program, and StarEdit have the correct path.

Defaults (change accordingly if you use a different path):
InstallPath = C:\Program Files\Starcraft\
Program = C:\Program Files\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe
StarEdit = C:\Program Files\Starcraft\

You can also use this to fix it.

I think it is from not using "uninstall". I have simply been deleting sc before i reinstall. Could that be the problem? Neither of your methods worked.

I don't think that's the issue, but try it.



None.

You can delete StarCraft registry values
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Starcraft
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Starcraft (except the three previous mentioned, StarCD, Retail, Brood War, and Recent Maps... or just stay away from this one.)

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.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
