You should try reading the threads about SCMDraft crashing in the SC1 Mapping Tools forum instead of General Starcraft.

And give us more information.

Just here for the pie

I would suggest just re installing SCMDraft's latest version.

Other than that I think there was some problem with the space tileset and locations, but I can't find anything on it.

The first location should be Location 0; this is not the reason it's crashing on you.

Here's some common things to do:

1) Check your backup database in your SCMDraft directory. If it's large, delete it or rename it.
2) Get a new install for SCMDraft. The latest can be found here, and the stable 0.8.0 and older versions can be found here.
3) Try this on other maps, including existing and new, .scm and .scx. If this only happens under certain conditions (i.e., only on the space tileset), let us know so we can further help you.

Let us know when you've tried all the suggestions and which, if any, helped.

If this was a problem, it's been fixed in the latest version.

I used to have a problem where it would crash whenever it tried to display a string, and placing a location would make it draw a string and therefore crash. I had some posts about it in the mapmaking tools threads. I think I eventually fixed it, or it just went away.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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:
