Does anyone know a good SCMDraft Counter part for the mac? Starcraft.org use to have one, i remember, but the sites all suck now.

None.

You could try UnKnown Edit. I'm not sure how complete it is, though.

IIRC, there was 'starfire'. Not sure of its full functionality though.

It was worse than xtra editor on windows, and it doesn't work on 10.5 (because it's staredit based)

None.

Back when I had a mac, I tried so hard to find a scmdraft variant, but to no avail. It'd be awesome if there was one when I get another mac.

Are there any editors that you guys know of that can make square terrain?

None.

I think if you change StarEdit's filename to "StarEdit (Carbon)" it does work. At least that's what I had to do on mine oh so long ago.

There are very few. You have Emerald Edit, which is identical to the PC version. StarFire Edit, which is like a bad copy of X-Tra (some units are 1x1 pixel and some are like 30x30 pixels - namely a Zergling). UnKnown Edit is okay for square terrain, though keep in mind it is essentially just a copy of GUEdit on Mac, and at the moment I believe you can only make terrain in the editor but it won't show up on the actual map in StarEdit. This may have been fixed, though. I'm not sure.

There was also talk of SCM Draft Mac for a while, but that project died a looooooooooooong time ago.

Now im all sad :-(

The editor I was thinking of though was StarFire, but I didn't know it was that bad :><:

I'll try the carbon thing, though I don't see that working.

None.

Yeah, I didn't think it would work, either, but if it's looking for StarEdit (Carbon) I just gave it what it was looking for.

They are all not worth their weight in salt.
(And software doesn't weigh anything...)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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

[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]

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.

[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]

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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
