SCMDraft on Ubuntu problem

Hello. I recently got Ubuntu onto my computer and found my old SCMDraft.exe file in my Program Files. I tried opening it via Wine, and it got the startup screen, but when I press OK, it says "Fatal error: failed opening primary MPQ (stardat.mpq)".

Thanks in advance.

You don't have the mpq from Starcraft being installed?

None.

The reason for this is because you have to have starcraft installed on linux.If you have windows though for starcraft I would suggest still using it because wine is still a bit buggy for starcraft.

Well, that sucks, because when I installed Ubuntu, some crazy stuff happened and I can't run the Windows OS. And I lost my system resue disk.

Thanks anyways.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
