I have a few questions…

1, Lets say I have 12 locations. They are a1, a2, a3, a4, and a<insert the next number here>. The last 2 locations I have are a11, and a12. Lets also say there are 12 triggers, and each one fires when a unit is brought to these locations. Unfortunly, instead of the locations being displayed as (This is the first list):
a1
a2
a3
a4
a5
a6
a7
a8
a9
a10
a11
a12
They are actually displayed like this (this is the second list):
A1
A10
A11
A12
A2
A3
A4
A5
A6
A7
A8
A9.
What I want to know is, how do I make the locations be displayed the way they are in the first list?

I have used a version of SC xtra editor, where instead of the color marks be displayed as a big black “|”, they are displayed with symbols like this one: ” ". What I want to know is, what version of SC xtra editor has this? Would I need to completely uninstall SC xtra and then reinstall the new one? Or could I change this using regedit.exe ? (Regedit.exe is a program that allows you to change things in your registry… if it was part of a starcraft map, it would be the “actions” of a trigger.)

Also, would third party editor have this? I haven’t downloaded it, let alone install it, so I wouldn’t know.

About your location problem, just stick 0s before the single digit numbers.

So: a01, a02, a03 ... a09, a10 ...

Same goes for any computer numbering system... The computer counts a10 higher than a1 because the "0" at the end of a10 ranks higher than the "nothing" at the end of a1.

All the X-tra editors I've used have had the "|" for thecolors, not the symbols. I've only seen the symbols when working on a Mac.

As for your other question, you're saying X-tra is capitalizing your locations for you? If not, I don't quite see what the issue is considering its basically the same list.

I have used a PC and I have seen the charactors before... But that was on my grandfather's computer. I normally can't use his computer. Also... Thanks D_Scypher, I think you solved my problem.

No prob. And as for your other question, I'm not sure what the problem is. It doesn't really matter what symbol it shows as long as the color works, right?

Edit: Oops, I just realized I explained the numbering system wrong in my other post. The computer doesn't count a10 higher than a1, I meant to say it counts a10 higher than a2 (obviously because 1 goes before 2). But oh well, no big deal.

It's not really a problem... It's just extremely frustrating trying to figure out which color is which.

Oh... Well if you can use StarForge I suggest you use that instead. The colors are in buttons right next to the text boxes so you don't have to remember what symbol is what.

Windows XP fixed that 'problem' in the Windows Explorer. One of the few good things about XP when compaired to 2000

On a windows, if you change the theme...you'll get the symbols. And not just the Mac theme I'm using, others work too.

Well, my locations were being displayed as they were in the first list until I used D's method. And yes, I am using Windows XP.


.... I am still trying to figure out how to get the color symbols to display properly.

If you mean change the symbols, the only real way I know of is changing your Windows theme.

Last I checked, though, Theme XP is only free for about a month; then it forces you to either pay or not use it.

:argh?!: No.... *Max Sighs*. I have done this before, but I forgot how I did it. After I installed one of SC xtra versions, I could tell what color was going where based on where the special character was. I didn't install anything that changed Window's XP's layout/theme.

Thanks anyways rexy and D_Scypher

UPDATE: I installed the language files needed to properly read language that read from right to left, such as chinese. The characters worked after doing this.
