I formated my PC and Draft doesn't want to work anymore. Even redownloaded it. Fatal error: failed loading primary mpq (stardat.mpq)

Yea I know I have to reinstall SC or something. But I didn't after last format and it worked, don't remember how though. You see, my SC is seriously cracked so I can play on B.net and stuff, I don't know if I can crack it again this good. Did it long time ago. There must be a way around. :D

I wanted to PM SI, but his inbox is always full you know.

You need to reinstall SC. No way around it. All editors need to read stardat.mpq, broodat.mpq, and patch_rt.mpq, or they don't know anything about what units exist in SC or so on.

Under edit profile you can manualy set your stardat.mpq, broodat.mpq, and patch_rt.mpq.

Yea, I just found that out! I just had to enter the SC folder location. I knew I could avoid reinstalling. :D Thanks!

IMO the correct solution is:

Go buy a legitimate copy of the game and stop ripping Blizzard off.

Ripping Blizzard off? You kidding me? They couldn't care less since WoW is out. I rather donate the money to SEN, which I did.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Although your problem is already solved I wanted to let you know that there's reg keys and patchers findable with google that add the necessary installation information of sc into the registry so you don't need to reinstall.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
