Make sure all the options work or remove them options that dont work are kinda point less dont you think?

The buttons are for options he hasn't finished.
But he (hopefully) will get them.

Heimdal, I think StarForge is great, so far.

However, I would like to request a few features.

Could the trigger editor handle switches and locations by the switch number and the location ID, rather than the string associated with it?

Another feature I would like to see would be a string editor similar to TBLPad, in which you could create a string with any ID you wish.

Yet another one I would find really useful would be a raw, non-graphical MRGN section editor, including the ability to assign a string ID as the name of the location.

Also, in every single place where strings are used, I would welcome if I could just refer to the string ID instead of typing the string in directly.

And it would be an added bonus if this enhanced string editor could be open simultaneously with the Trigger Editor or the Location Editor.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

How about option to do those, you really want to remember what every thing is?

Also, switches are just Switch 1, Switch 2, Switch 3, etc. I thought?

ADDITION:
For the brushes, add a Rotate, Flip, and Invert feature.
Sorry if this was a little confusing. (that was in a code so I could use spaces)

That's what I meant. I understand most people would vouch for the current "named" system, and I am in no way suggesting to get rid of that. I am merely asking for the option to handle data by IDs, and not by assigned strings.

And although I did not include this in my previous post, but I would like to extend my request to anything that can be handled with an ID, including

• Units
• Players
• Locations
• Switches

If the user would enter 'SetSwitch("DoorSwitch1", clear);' or something of that manner, then the program would keep track of the switch by its ID as it corresponds to the given string in the SWNM section. As far as I am aware, Starforge currently does this, but it doesn't let you enter the switch ID directly, and nor does it display this ID, it displays the associated string instead. Correct me if I am wrong. It is the optional display and edit of the IDs that I seek.

Well, there's a really simple annoyance with SF right now that would take about 1 minute to fix . . .

I don't think that anybody has suggested this so far, but it would make my life ALOT easier if SF could
1. Associate itself with map files
2. Allow a simple run parameter for opening them

(so that I could go Start > Run and do "C:\Program Files\StarForge\StarForge.exe" "C:\mymap.scm")

That would be great (I'm assuming you were planning on adding this simple thing in the next version?)

Good suggestions...Although rotating brushes won't work like you're thinking, because the tiles themselves can't be rotated.

I didn't say rotate the tiles, I meant rotate their places. Were the numbers rotated?

This is what he meant:



Rotating the whole array of tiles.

But I don't think it'll be much useful anyway, since tiles will probably don't match.

I know exactly what you meant. I was trying to say that the result wouldn't look pretty.

It depends on what you have in there really.

I could have used it a few times not too long ago.
Also, it would be nicer then having to find each tile and doing it manually, especially if the piece is like 20x20...

a mirror the brushes would be real nice to have, and if the person does it right it shouldnt look bad...
what else would be nice is being able to have multiple tile palettes open at once...

I didn't read through every page so this might have been said, but i think it would be nice to have Replace All Terrain option. There would be a dialog somethinglike this:
___________
| Change X|
|Tile:[¯¯¯¯] |
|To :[¯¯¯¯] |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
And you would put the terrain tile #(Tile # as in the numbers on the terrain pallet titlebar, #*16+#) in the box's to change all of a certain tile, to the new tile. To get the tile # you could add a thing in the right click of the terrain pallet, and terrain layer that told you the tile #. This would also help people that use BMP2SCM.

Or do whatever you like

I dont know if this is possible so someone just delete it (and pm me please) if it isnt but possibly import tilesets from other terrains into the map. Example: using snow or ashworld terrain in a badlands map.

Not possible.

So Hemidal is this possible to place in future versions of SCMDraft2?

No. You can't mix tilesets. End of story.

I think you are mixing something up, however mixing tileset is not possible, was never possible, and never will be possible in starcraft

Without modding

StarForge should be able to load triggers, save triggers, and move them around.
I mean what's the point of buttons if they do nothing?

I Get Boiling Like This Because When I Use Starforge And Im Getting Far On A Map I accidently Go Off Map And On That Gray Thing Then It Says RunTime Error And I Got n Pissed Off Cause I Didn't Save It!

That's what autosave is for. Open the .bak.scm/x file.

Yea, about that, maybe you should change up the auto save so when you open a .bak.scm file it doesn't create a .bak.bak.scm file. Gets really annoying when you open up your folders.
