Hey,

Has anyone gotten StarForge to work on Windows Vista? It won't run for me, either the installer or the actual app itself... :( It was such a good editor too....

Use SCMD. It's fully compatible with Vista and is much more reliable. Do you need to use SF? If so, why?

Preference.
Farty, Distort and I all have a very strong preference for StarForge's terrain interface, among other things.
If there does happen to be some conveniant fix without screwing over the program, then it could very well be worth Moptop's time to implement it.
Unfortunately, I have none to suggest, myself.

I would have to second this, SCMDraft's terrain editor is nice, but leaves something to be desired. It also has certain limitations in editing which seem rather odd (player colors?)

As a comprehensive map editor, though, it is much better (for one thing, it previews sprites, units, and terrain much better than SF).

I have found that SF corrupts your map more often, and if you use one, you can rarely use the other.

I only use StarForge for screwing around with sprites. :lol:

SCMD... Is that SCMDraft? That's a great one but it is alot harder to do triggers on it, versus StarForge....

I've never experienced such a thing except maybe once, and that was when I was newer to it. StarForge has little intricacies that just take a bit to get used to because a portion of it was written in Visual Basic.

SF is fine for me with vista, though I rarely use it except for triggers...

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.
[03:14 pm]
ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
