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.

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.

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.

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
