Hi, as you can see I am new. I just want to get the opinions of some veterans on what program to use in mapping.

Scmdraft2.

Don't bother with anything else, unless you need disabled sprites, in which case you would need starforge.

The thing is, I have heard people in game talking about SCMDraft2 and I tried to search for it, but nothing popped up

http://www.staredit.net/topic/8307/

Link is in the OP of that thread. I think the link works...

That looks like Scmdraft, not Scmdraft2

When people say "scmdraft," they are almost always refering to scmdraft2. I'm not even sure if scmdraft1 even exists, I've never seen it.

Sorry to be a bit of a nuisance, but the link is bugged

It exists. Go to www.stormcoast-fortress.net, the developer site and check for old versions.
And yes, ScmDraft is the best editor around latest version is ScmD 2 v0.8.0.1.

Besides, StarBlue, there's a whole forum dedicated to mapping tools. Be sure to read the recommended programs sticky there.

EDIT: The link works, don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks! (: I have waited a while to try this out! You can lock this thread now ^_^
