Problem with SCMDraft Portable

I have SCMDraft installed on my Flash drive.. and SC installed there as well... it was working okay for every computer i've used except the one I am on now, for some reason it wants to use the StarDat.Mpq in the Starcraft folder instead of the one in its folder...

The problem is now that the flash drives letter changed from (E:) to (F:) and now when I attempt to open SCMDraft it says Fatal Error: Failed loading primary MPQ (E:\Starcraft\stardat.mpq) :(

Anyone know how to reset it so I can reassign the location?



None.

Go into your Draft profile setting and change the stardat.mpq directory.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?

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.

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:
