Greetings all, I can't open map #4 from "Echoes of the Swarm" campaign. Scmdraft cannot open map, game cannot open map.
Sorry, I can't attach map because it's size more 10mb.

Link to campaign: https://mega.nz/folder/ukZyjSLK#hJ_3L_ZJeQ44awZwPGCdKA/folder/jwBDzCJT

Can you help me?

The Curious

I have to add neither of the MPQ viewers I have could do that, either. So the problem is on the archive level, not the map (SCENARIO.CHK) level.

Intriguing...



Trial and error... mostly error.

I am familiar with the corruption issues of this map. From my research, it most likely appears to be the result of a botched attempt by Omega20 at protecting his maps from being plagiarized. That is ironic because he was accused of plagiarizing from Dark Swarm and Vile Egression when making this campaign. I reviewed the campaign a while ago and I have found out that he did NOT plagiarize, but was merely inspired by those two campaigns. The campaign is in a pre-alpha state and is not even remotely playable because after the creator was accused of plagiarism, he decided to leave starcraft permanently and abandon development on this campaign.

It is quite sad really, I think with practice he could eventually have become a really good creator.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
