The map will be playable. Though there might be a display text displaying garbage or a wrong string. If you're lucky the corruption is in a comment which won't have any consequences.
However it's still recommended using ScmDrafts backup database to go back to an uncorrupted version because if you're eventually going back to the map to improve it the problem might become worse or will at least be annoying to work with.

Most string corruption stems from SCMDraft being too picky things like a string number being assigned in the map and a NUL string being on the other end, a decent list of corruption causes (or should I say causes antitheses) are in the link.
Sometime's it's just some, what I like to call, "runtime corrpution" where restarting SCMDraft makes it go away.

Mr.BurnLiquid -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: I'll check it out this weekend!
Thanks[2026-10-09. : 2:40 am]
Mr.BurnLiquid -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: Another map maker? Damn we really ARE back
I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.[2026-10-09. : 1:51 am]
Mr.BurnLiquid -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads 
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.[2026-10-09. : 1:34 am]

Mr.BurnLiquidMr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.[2026-10-09. : 1:33 am]
