I know that there are prereleases and those stuff and scmdraft is still new but I'm just asking if there's going to be scmdraft 3 in the future.

lol why

When SCMDraft 2 is finished it'll be (hopefully) the perfect Editor, so that we dont need SCMDraft 3

Unless something major changes within chk files, or SC 2 comes out relativly soon, I doubt it.

I doubt that blizzard will try to change the .chk files used in maps and the starcraft ghost isn't even coming out on computer (at least I don't think it will) so he probably wont make a Scmdraft 3 and just try to perfect this one

Reason for SCMDraft 2 was just to jump start what had been done with SCMDraft 1, and to get people away from the "ideas" of the flaws and errors of SCMDraft 1.

Doubt it'll exist, because it'll just be a newer verison of SCMDraft 2, basically 0.6 could count as it.

why should there be one? feel free to list reasons why I should recode everything.

You would just put it on prerelease 9 from the list

Triggers like Xtra
Mission Briefs like Xtra
More Player Colors Addable. (Cyan don't even work)
Once preplaced building is hurt on editor, it's on fire or bleeding.
Color Tags for easier use of it instead of Á and those stuff.
Sprites can switch sides (Since it doesnt)

Some other things, that you can't do or might crash:

Two or more terrains at once
Allow some buildings in the Beta Starcraft. A building repairs ground viehicles, a zerg tunnel building. (It's those scout buildings, the scouts that can't move)
Unit Drawer.

SI doesn't create the triggers and briefings
you can place any players color
he might add the fire/bleeding buildings effect in a later version
the color tags he has is like <1> and <5> and stuff like that
I don't know if he will fix sprite display and inverting sprites
the multiple tilesets isn't possible (at least not unless blizzard adds it in a patch)
the beta starcraft buildings where removed from starcraft and "could" crash the game
and I have no clue what you mean by a unit drawer

None of those things require a complete rewrite...

SI said that his friend or someone is doing the triggers/briefings but I don't know when is it easy to use.

Dude, I can't add all player colors, where's black?

The color tags <1> and is confusing, I don't know which color is which.

The multiple tilesets can be possible, unless SI tryed it.

The Beta SC buildings might not crash, there's possibilties.

The Unit Drawer thing is like on Warcraft 3, like drawing a unit model.

Most of the things you want in the editor are just impossible. Unless, you use a mod. SCMDraft is just a much more powerful version of StarEdit. Also, anythin that "mods" Starcraft is against blizzard's rules. (Even though they don't really monitor SC much anymore. They are always worrying about the more overrated games...)

**Cough Cough** WoW, WC3, and all of the other WC games.... **End Coughing**

DarkWizzard is making trigedit.

Use a different program untill I convince SI to allow integer values.

Less confusing than just "|" for everything, learn them by placing them all in a string then viewing it in SCMDraft.

Not without a mod, and I seriously doubt SI is going add a function to let SCMDraft 2 make a tileset mod.

Only the "independent" ones. Adding those buildings would require a mod.

Unit drawer? This isn't warcraft 3, you would require a mod.

Inverting sprites? The only thing you can do to change the appearence of sprites is edit their flags.

Triggers/Briefings like X-tra? SCMdraft 2 isn't X-tra. There is a reason why 4 different programs (GUEdit, SCMDraft 2, Starforge, StarEdit) all let you work with triggers in 3 different ways. Because they all have their own take on how triggers should be displayed/worked with. Personally I think just adding some functions to aid in trigger creation to make it a little more like starforge would be sufficient. But I don't even care because I can work with them just fine.

I'm just asking one question, Will there be scmdraft 3? It's a YES OR NO question.

probably not

He doesn't need to recode everything, so why should there be? Your question was answered a while ago. :/

so you want a scmdraft 3 so I can add things that SC does not support and that have been stated many times that SC doesn't support? I dont get you...
if you want custom graphics make a mod.
if you want custom tilesets make a mod.
if you want to flip sprites play beta SC...
if you want other player colors enter the number 1...256
if you want color tags use the color codes...

Thats right, I forgot about that. Heh.

I only asked a question, it's not what I want, it's what you're going to put and what's it like.

no you named those things as reasons to create scmdraft 3 and I am pointing out why those are not valid reasons...

If you want a answer

NO

Is there going to be a World War III?
Is Staredit.net going to Die?
Will Blizzard make a Warcraft 4?
Will you get a brain?
Will there be a editor better than SF and SCMDraft?

All these are very valid questions. But the chance of any of them becoming true soon is slim. But there all possable.

I don't know. I disagree on the first 3 you listed.

The stuff highlighted in green can be created as a P L U G I N.
The stuff highlighted in red is either stupid or impossible without modding.
The stuff in white is possible to code into the current editor.

The stuff highlighted in green can be created as a P L U G I N.
The stuff highlighted in red is either stupid or impossible without modding.
The stuff in white is already possible.
The stuff in yellow is possible to code into the current editor.

Ability to destroy mankind.

I'm already working on that plugin.

EDIT: Destroy? My bad, I'm just having it enslave mankind.
