You should try reading the threads about SCMDraft crashing in the SC1 Mapping Tools forum instead of General Starcraft.

And give us more information.

I would suggest just re installing SCMDraft's latest version.

Other than that I think there was some problem with the space tileset and locations, but I can't find anything on it.

The first location should be Location 0; this is not the reason it's crashing on you.

Here's some common things to do:

1) Check your backup database in your SCMDraft directory. If it's large, delete it or rename it.
2) Get a new install for SCMDraft. The latest can be found here, and the stable 0.8.0 and older versions can be found here.
3) Try this on other maps, including existing and new, .scm and .scx. If this only happens under certain conditions (i.e., only on the space tileset), let us know so we can further help you.

Let us know when you've tried all the suggestions and which, if any, helped.

If this was a problem, it's been fixed in the latest version.

Thanks it was just an old version of scmdraft please close.

I used to have a problem where it would crash whenever it tried to display a string, and placing a location would make it draw a string and therefore crash. I had some posts about it in the mapmaking tools threads. I think I eventually fixed it, or it just went away.
