This is a really simple problem, and I am an experienced map maker, even though I've never actually finished a map... But anyway, my custom player colors aren't working, they're changing in the map editor, but when I go to test the map, it's just red. The default color I'm guessing. I haven't tried being other players yet. And I did check if randomize start locations was off. Could it just be a bug in the map? A one time thing so I can just restart?

Just a wild guess, but could it be the file extension?

To continue what Mahajarama started, extended player colors don't work in regular StarCraft (map.scm), so you'll need to save it as a Brood War map (map.scx). That's the most likely problem.

Thanks guys. Also, I think you can't even change the colors of players at all in .scx maps... Cause I tried just changing it to Blue and it didn't work.

You mean in .scm maps, correct?

You can change player colors if the map is saved as an expansion (.scx).

Be sure that you're testing the map with the new .scx extension, or else it would seem like it did nothing, because you're testing the wrong map.

Also, make sure you're litterally saving it as a broodwar .scx file and not just typing ".scx" into the file name.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Fixed now... I can't believe I didn't know that though... May lock now.
