I've been working at maps for SC for a few years now... I've decided to try something new, I would like to edit campaign maps. But alas I can figure out how to get to them... I have the MPQ viewer, but I can't find the things.
I'd love your help if anyone can give it.

I'm not looking for scx/scm files, am I?
In that case what am I looking for?
If I am looking for scx/scm files, I don't see them..

I think they are on the SC CD, but I may be wrong.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

You are wrong. ;) There's only 1 big data file

I can't tell you what you are looking for, but I know that you can download the campaigns as scm/scx files.
Try to google it. I forgot where I saw them. sry :/

But if you want to integrate your maps into the starcraft campaign you can't just use/replace scm files. You will need some kind of alternative executable I think. Saw this in other custom campaigns where you could click on the Protoss image to start instead of choosing it manually from the map folders.

WOOPS, it's on the cd - i checked.
open install.exe with WinMPQ... there you can see all the missions. For each mission, just extract all of the files with that name (e.g. protoss1/staredit/...). this will include sound files.

chk files? Is this right? If so how does i use em?
~Edit~

Blizz did not use regular staredit. They used a slightly modified version. The only main difference I could notice by playing would be that it gave them access to all the campaign AI's, obviously.. there were probably more differences, though.
