I counted at least 16, and maybe a few more stacked on top of each other.

That's what's in the first picture, but without knowing exactly what happened in-between (how many Probes were pulled and when?) it's not possible to tell what happened there.
Do you have a replay and the specific map file used in that game?

Next feature to get an overhaul is the custom brush palette, in order to display a graphical preview etc.

This is what the updated palette currently looks like (Full disclosure: Not my brush file):

I think, if some unit move from A to B, unit try to find minimum regions between A and B(Yellow rec), not minimum distance.

Thats why gas of CB 1'o has worker bug.

The pathfinder definitely calculates a distance in pixels, not in regions, when finding the path between regions. I think that would explain the bug, since it would calculate from the current worker position to the center of the left region, and from that center to the command center, and that is longer than the path to the center of the bottom region. I'm not sure of the exact algorithm. Tscmoo may know more.

At some point I may add the display of the long path (region to region), but since that is only a rough estimate of the actual path it could be very misleading for people who do not read the info that says its an stimate.

Not quite.
What I figured out so far is that units do not really "want" to travel vertically or horizontally along (i.e. on top of) a region border while crossing another,perpendicular, region border. You can very easily test this on a simple blank map (which gives you a simple, regular 8x8 region grid).
Units traveling diagonally will also go from node to node over longer distances, whereas units traveling in the axial directions will keep perfect formation (unless they are crossing a perpendicular region border while traveling on top of another one, as stated above).
This is just empiric testing. I cannot tell you how it works on the algorithmic level, but it's enough of a guideline to predict small-scale unit pathing pretty accurately (like when debugging resource formations).

Also: Which version of CB is that even? Seems like the minerals are shifted away from the edge by one tile...
This is how I fixed it in my CB update:

Just shifted the topmost region border a tile to the left (by changing a single cliff edge tile to the left from mostly walkable to not mostly unwalkable).

Another topic: Have you seen my post on Afreeca, concerning cover bugs on some ramps on Salamander?

New version available with support for brush subgroups, vorbis OGG sound files, HiDPI font/UI scaling, and various small fixes.

Let me know if anything isn't working.

This thread is for reporting bugs, you can also Pm S.I. and give him the diagnostic files when it crashes. He will work with you to solve the problem.

Send me the minidump file and which version you are using and I will take a look.

Also make sure you are using the current version. (There was a build a few weeks back that may have crashed if there was too many animations on the screen at once, but that was fixed two days later)

It crashes every time I open up the locations (on the left hand side of the screen) in the map editor.

First of all: Make sure you are using version 0.9.0, not version 0.8.0. Version 0.8.0 is many years old and had a render error depending on viewport size that could cause that in location mode, and it sounds like you are using that version.

If it is happening in 0.9.0, then send me the Trigedit.dmp file from the crash so I can analyze the root cause. If you could also create a full memory dump in addition to the minidump it would be even easier. (Open task manager -> details -> right click on ScmDraft 2.exe column and select 'Create dump file'). The minidump is more important though.

Hello S.I.

First off, thank you for your continued work on this toolkit. It's vastly useful and intuitive and I love using it even as a noob mapmaker.

With that said- I need your help for a basic function as a mapmaker, because I cannot seem to find it within scmdraft 2.0. I'm currently editing a custom map so I can play it with a reduced number of players. (Its an edit to an existing map.) I'm trying to make it so the units for the various players still spawn whether the players are there or not. Currently, if a player is not in the slot when the game starts; the units will not spawn at all. I'm trying to have the units spawn and then have a separate trigger to transfer them to a neutral computer. Any idea if I can do this within scmdraft?

Thank you in advance,

blitzburns4

Holy heck this is amazing. I love the unit range display and the rotational symmetry. Great work man I'll have to check it out.

Assuming you don't want to have a CPU slot, you may be able to give those units to neutral or players 9 / 10 / 11 and re--assign them via triggers.

If the resources are not showing up, my guess is they are not owned by player 12 (Neutral)

Hello and thanks for making this software. I've had a lot of fun with it! :-)

I tried installing it again now, but i get fatal error: failed loading primary mpq (c:/games/starcraft/broodat.mpq)
I have the latest version and the folder path is correct. Anyone know what to do? :o

would there be a way to get a tileset index for toon graphics? my little cousins are getting into SC and they all find the carbot skin appealing. i feel making maps that specifically look good in cartoon will get a lot of newer blood to play
