Why is my map crashing all of a sudden!

So i've been working on this map of mine for a while now, it last worked about a week ago. When I went to test the map today its been crashing right after I hit the start button in the mission breifing, I've tried it 6x now and I can't seem to find any reason that its crashing for! I haven't placed any illegal sprites anywhere that I know of or any units off the map, I only have a total of 4 triggers so far so idk what the problem is. My screen goes black and it says starcraft has encountered an error and needed to close.

Too many doodads? Sprites? Units?

Doodad Count: 451
Sprite: 346
Units: 1300

Halp!

To many sprites or doodads won't crash the game. If you go over 500 sprites they will just not appear in game and you can place thousands of doodads.

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

after deleting all doodads, the map works.

Look for any sprites you may have accidentally placed. I once made a map where some sprites crashed the game, even though I never intentionally placed ANY sprites in the game. Save your map in numbered versions. That way you can go back to the last playable version and see what you may have changed.



Win by luck, lose by skill.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"

Sylph-Of-Space -- It would be so so so nice if SCMDraft had some kind of dedicated "walkability" view for the tilesets.
