Blizzard is now recommending SCMDraft 2 to all players.
Another big victory for the SEN community!

*shouts of joy*



Quote from Matt Sherman, StarCraft Developer
SCMDRAFT is not only more robust than StarEdit, but it’s also much more user-friendly. Although SCMDRAFT is an unofficial editor for StarCraft, rest assured we work closely with Sinsanity to ensure its compatibility with the game.

Wow, and they 86d staredit.exe from the installation, too. I wonder if I should have backed up or something but the effin' Blizzard Agent updated everything without me noticing. When I looked into the STARCRAFT\ folder now it looked to me like Norton Antivirus has been let loose there: most files are gone. :)



Trial and error... mostly error.

I see you !

The editor wouldn't help without the MPQs anyhow.

The Curious

I understand (I still have them in my derelict 1.16 installation, but patch_ed.mpq is gone for good now).

Good thing about the new patch: SAMASE works without any noticeable issues.
Bad thing: most AI stuff is now broken, including the stock Insane script I was using in a mission.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: 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.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
