Hey,

Has anyone gotten StarForge to work on Windows Vista? It won't run for me, either the installer or the actual app itself... :( It was such a good editor too....

Use SCMD. It's fully compatible with Vista and is much more reliable. Do you need to use SF? If so, why?

Preference.
Farty, Distort and I all have a very strong preference for StarForge's terrain interface, among other things.
If there does happen to be some conveniant fix without screwing over the program, then it could very well be worth Moptop's time to implement it.
Unfortunately, I have none to suggest, myself.

I would have to second this, SCMDraft's terrain editor is nice, but leaves something to be desired. It also has certain limitations in editing which seem rather odd (player colors?)

As a comprehensive map editor, though, it is much better (for one thing, it previews sprites, units, and terrain much better than SF).

I have found that SF corrupts your map more often, and if you use one, you can rarely use the other.

I only use StarForge for screwing around with sprites. :lol:

SCMD... Is that SCMDraft? That's a great one but it is alot harder to do triggers on it, versus StarForge....

I've never experienced such a thing except maybe once, and that was when I was newer to it. StarForge has little intricacies that just take a bit to get used to because a portion of it was written in Visual Basic.

SF is fine for me with vista, though I rarely use it except for triggers...

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
