In my editor, whenever i use the layer drop down menu and click on locations. The message box "Something bad happened. Would you like to save a diagnostic file?" pops up and my game crashs. anyone know how to fix this? its really annoying..

Try downloading a newer/older version of SCMDraft, or just reinstalling it maybe?

I think all you have to do is ignore that message (Don't click it or close it). Most of the editor's functions should work fine.

Bad advice; this is not necessarily true. Install the latest version of SCMDraft 2 from here and see if it still happens. If it does, see if it happens with a different map. It's possible that the location names have been corrupted in a way that it crashes SCMDraft.

Try to open and then just save the map in starforge. Then go back to ScmDraft and see if the problem persist.

A word of warning though: Don't change anything in Starforge or you might corrupt your map, since ScmDraft and Starforge are not fully compatible. Resaving though seems to be no problem. I've used that from time to tíme when ScmDraft gave me that "something bad happened" crap. In any case you should create a backup of your current map before you do that.
