In Scmdraft 2.0 Beta 0.8.0, I placed a location and there was a warning that said "Note, adding another location will prevent you from saving the map in SC Vanilla format." What does that mean?



None.

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

the first starcraft supported only ~64 locations (I dont know it exactly)
that means, that you cannot play the map with starcraft v.1.0 (starcraft without a patch)....

but everyone creates maps for current patch, I think.

Vanilla is the non-expansion to Starcraft. So the file extension for vanilla maps are .scm (not requiring Brood War to play).



None.

but the error message refers to the Starcraft v.1.04.
look into the changelog:
Quote
============================================
1.04 Changes to StarEdit (Map Editor)
============================================

- New save feature that identifies all 'enhanced' data in the scenario and
specifies which versions of Starcraft will be able to load the scenario.

- Addition of the comparing conditional 'exactly' for use in such triggers
as: ACCUMULATE, BRING, COMMAND, COUNTDOWN TIMER, DEATHS, ELAPSED TIME,
KILL, OPPONENTS, and SCORE.

- Increased number of Switches to 256.

- Increased number of usable locations to 254.

- Added the ability to specify 'Random' in the SET SWITCH trigger action.

- Added the ability to name switches.

- You can now explicitly sort Conditions.

- You can remove all Map Revealers from a map (really!).

- The Unit and Hero Settings dialog has been enhanced.

A new StarEdit help file with info on these triggers and all the new
features in StarEdit can be downloaded from our web site (http://www.blizzard.com).
I'm not sure which version is on my starcraft disc and I'm to lazy to search it...
maybe I got 1.00. I only can remember that the staredit.exe used to crash very fast without patches.

There are 3 types of maps. *.scx, *.scm and *.scm :omfg:
*.scx is broodwar.
First *.scm is starcraft v.1.04 and above.
Second *.scm is starcraft v.1.03 and less.

All in all, you can ignore the message in scmdraft 2.

Ultraviolet -- If so, I'd just focus on getting them on scmscx.com and then you can link to that in the showcase thread for your maps

Ultraviolet -- I can't upload my EUD maps, I think the DLDB has some issue with handling them. Are you trying to upload EUD maps?

TheHappy115 -- Its been awhile but ever since I requested one of the Maps I posted to be deleted since I couldn't delete it myself (or update it), I haven't been able to upload any more maps. Any reason for that?
