So when ever I try to open a map the map being Sims High School V G

When I do it just gives me this

String Corruption detected in line 1036, file.\CCHK.cpp
String ID: 978. String Contains: Null


Anyone know if its possible to fix this?

Not sure if this is even an error in the sense of the word, of if it's just information. It tells you that string number 978 is empty. Maybe it just is?

You can open up ScmD's string editor, find the string and edit it to contain something (if only a space). See if that "fixes" it.

Oaky. how do I open the Trigger editor without opening the map? Im 'newish' at SCMdraft, by that I mean I haven't used it since before SC2:HOTS


NEVER MIND! I updated from .8 and now the map suddenly opens no problem!

[...] trigger editor[...]
I meant string editor. Because while it's possible to edit the string in the trigger editor (classic trigedit) you'll have a harder time finding it there.

Ya, assumed it's not a real error. Though an empty string still seems like something that's not intended.

I see you !

The string corruption message means that the reference count stored in a string (so number of sections which use it) does not match a recalculated value for that reference count. Since the string is NULL, it sounds like it may have been deleted manually.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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