I hacked a EUD condition into classic trigedit in slightly under an hour, maybe I can do the same for text, although I am not too familiar with DW's code. Download updated.

Update: texttrigedit also should now have EUD conditions. go ahead and test both types to make sure they all work...

I got the newest version of scmdraft 2 and now all my .scx and .scm files have no icons...

and theres another bug where all of the strings are yellow except <01> to <07> all of the alignment ones and cyan.

- EDIT -

I fixed the icon problem, but theres still the weird string problem.

I've copied/pasted through the text briefing editor before. It works quite well, actually, except that some strings explode. I believe a good group of switches were renamed as strings that were used in the mission briefing.

The switches breaking should have been fixed in the last release on my site (ages ago).
I didn't touch the color code so I dont know why that should be messing up, does anyone else have that problem?

I don't like the fact that when you try to use "Current Player" in the death condition, it automatically assumes you're trying to make an EUD. Maybe you could rename an "Unused" and set it to provide that function instead? Or is this a bug?
Edit: I think it's a bug because it occurs whenever you select a player or group higher than 12 (Neutral).

Edit 2: Interesting... Every time I save my 1mb map, my backup database file size increases by about 25mb... Deleting the backups did not reduce the file size...

Edit 3: Reinstalling ScmDraft 2 fixes the backup database size inflation.

Since no one cared to answer that one, I'll answer as far as I can:
Of course you should add deaths, as it's kind of the "standard case".
I know that at least some of the listed functions can refer to memory ranges before what deaths can reach.
So when I understand it correctly it would be enough to add only the one that can reach the smallest memory adresses.
Unfortunately I can't tell you which one that is. You should contact Heinermann for this. I'm sure he knows it.

I'm not sure if this is what he means, but I occasionally get the bug that in the string editor all strings are displayed mono color (black on black iirc). This is apparently only a display bug, as it has no effect on the map.
Btw. you not touching the code doesn't mean anything. A while back I installed ScmDraft 1 from your site out of curiosity and the same bug happened.

Cant you use integer overflows on the pointers to access all memory with any operation?

Deaths read memory based on:
Death Table + player number*4 + UID*48
Player number is signed, and is 4 bytes long, allowing any address to be read. I don't know if UID is signed, but player number is more useful in this case. Player 1 is "0" in this formula.

Anything else with "player" in the trigger can be done the same way. Unfortunately, they all read the same 4 bytes. Using Deaths is the best, due to its previous use.

so the one EUD condition in the newest version based on deaths would access everything and nothing else is needed...

No. Just checked our stickied EUD topic

Scmdraft needs outbound tolerance. Like placing units or locations outside of the map limit. It's a very useful map making function in my opinion.

Also, I think it would be useful if you allowed an additional "Display Option" of detectors and how far of their radius.

Placing units outside is useless from my knowledge, and you can already place locations outside bounds, you just can't drag and drop them outside like you can with StarForge..

yes, that's true, but as I said, player number can be negative. You can read any memory with deaths, so that will work fine. However, you need to update the player numbers to include 4 bytes. Perhaps something like p:0 for player 1, and p:1024 for player 1025. Alternatively, just the number would work, since you can't rename players. Further down in that EUD thread, farty explains how player number can be negative.

@ echo, you can edit the location properties to go out of bounds, but you have to type it in.

Thats it. How do i fix this? its really annoying. I tried reinstalling a new version of scmdraft but it doesnt work. And its not the maps because it does it on every map i open.

I've never encountered that. Put it on a USB drive, and try it on a different computer, then on yours.

I'm assuming SCMDraft gets the colors from the font color palette in the MPQ, so it looks to me like you need to update your starcraft. They added colors in patches so i'm guessing you just installed SC and didn't bother upgrading.

I have patch 1.16.1 so i dont think thats it.

Have you changed the path to SC's MPQ?

Falkoner your a freakin life saver. I did have the paths to the right mpq's but you gave me the idea to remove them all and re-add them all and it worked so my hats off to you.

Why didn't I think of this before? SCMDraft needs to ability to move the map while classic trigedit is open. That is really so damn annoying that it gets locked in place.
