MPQDraft on Windows 7

Hi. Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I can go through all the steps in various SC BW mod tutorials (i.e. mod the marine to give him shields) up to the use of MPQDraft. When I use either the "Load MPQ" or .exe, my screen re-sizes and goes into 256 color mode (as usual when I run Starcraft). However, the game fails to run, without any "error" prompts. After 30 or so seconds, my screen re-sizes back to normal.

Any tips? I'm using Windows 7 (Basic?).

Thanks, Saima



None.

You should post the mpq/exe so that we can look at it and see if there's anything wrong with it.

Good news! I fixed the problem.

Turns out I was using an older version of MPQDraft which was not compatible with Windows 7.

Symmetry shouted: I did my first EUD thing today. Feels like me finding arsenal at age 8 again
haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
