it'd be easier to just use SCMDraft and make the image from the File menu

someone, SCPM does the opposite: It creates Terrain out of a given picture.

Your error message does not sound familiar at all, so I guess you are using Windows Vista? Did you check if SCPM4 is Vista compatible? You could also try SCPM3 because it does not need .net installed (afaik), which might be the problem.
I'm just throwing ideas in. Hope something helps.

i thought SCPM stood for "StarCraft Picture Maker". :/



None.

Just here for the activity... well not really

It is.

SCMDraft's Image = Ingame picture
SCPM = Creates images using terrain

SCPM = StarCraft Picture Mapper, not maker :P

Well, the basics would be to follow BannedScag's directions:

************************
IMPORTANT NOTICE
************************

If you get an error that states "The application failed to initialize
properly" then you are most likely missing the following patch:

Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1

This is a patch from Microsoft that many computers may not have.
To download it go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en

If the program still does not work after this, take a screen shot of
the error and email it to me at starcraftpicturemapper@gmail.com
and I will do my best to help you out.

-BannedScag

I doubt emailing him will get any fast results (if any).

If it still doesn't work, tough. I don't recognize the error message. Like NudeRaider said, SCPM v4 requires "more" to work properly. You can survive with SCPM v2 or v3

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
