SCMDraft - Error while starting

I used CrossOver to install SCMDraft on my Mac. I can start it up, but when I log in it gives me a message "Fatal Erorr: Failed loading primary MPQ (stardat.mpq)"

I tried looking for the .mpq files but I could not locate them. Has anyone else had this problem, or knows how to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You need to have StarCraft installed to run SCM Draft, it uses the MPQs in the SC directory.



None.

I have SC installed. Where in my StarCraft folder can I find the .mpq files? Should I reinstall StarCraft, or can somone email them to me?

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

reinstall it.

Normally you should have the needed MPQs. Without them you aren't able to play SC (for example you would have no graphics).

By default SCM Draft looks in C:/Program Files/StarCraft for the MPQs, however, if you have a different path you need to select that with the Edit Profile button in SCM Draft.



None.

Thanks to everyone for your help! I managed to select the Starcraft Folder on my partitioned Windows XP drive and use the .dpq files from there. This is gonna be awesome!
