scmdraft freezing
I reinstalled vista and now, for some reason, scmdraft is starting to freeze when I try to terrain on the edges of maps so I just minimize it then maximize it and it works normal again. Now, it's starting to get really annoying...

I have this problem on Windows 7 as well, but it's only when I'm simultaneously running SC. I think it might be an issue of multiple programs reading the SC mpq files.
You can try running as admin, running in XP compatibility, etc. but I've had no luck with it.
Can you confirm it's any program that causes the problem? Notepad? Microsoft Word? A web browser?
Edit: Actually, when I really try, I can get SCMD2 to lock up when not running SC. I have no idea why it would be doing that.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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[04:26 am]
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?[04:25 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[06:15 pm]
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.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
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
