Here we have some new stuff coming for SCMdraft!

Better terrian index window:



Subtile mode:


Rectangular:


I have no doubt this is just a warm up. Rumor has it there will be some awesome features on their way, but Suicidal Insanity has decided to keep it a secert. Make sure you make use of the new scmdraft forums to suggest ideas and report bugs for the next version!

Will it have a built-in trigger things?


EDIT: Btw with the new Map spotlight thing in the way it's harder for some of us to see the actual news on the news page lol

Ask SI on his forum

I'm hardly going to take out things that are already present am I? Scmdraft has publicly had a trigger editor for at least 6 months.

Oh, well i didn't bother dling it

Same, i had no idea whats-so-ever. Will the new version have the sprites fix?

Ahhh sweet new stuff. Can you make the tileset index thing load faster too? SF loads instantly when I scroll down but SCMDraft seems to have a noticeable lag time.

I, personally, like SCMDraft a lot. I just tend to stay away from it because most of my map work is with triggers rather than terrain and sprites. Also, every once in a while SCMDraft messes up my strings, so I tend to stick with StarForge. But I don't think you should be so hard on SCMDraft, Rexy. It's easier to do a lot of things in SCMDraft than it is in StarForge. I especially like the subtile brush.

Well, will it have a trigger function and a fixed tileset bar?

The main reason is isometicle terrain, it get screwd in SF and you can't do both isometic and square in Xtra, so SCMdraft saved a hell of a lot of time when making terrains for big maps.

SCMDraft owns in the department of NeverCrashing, and all its features work perfectly. Takes up less memory as well.

Uh... I don't know if im coming out of the closet or not but... What is The Subtitle Mode?

When I started using SCMDraft, it was SCMDraft 1 Alpha. It had all these weird numbered errors when I openned maps, so I got used to SF instead.

Looks nice! The more I look into SCMDraft the more I see it useful.

hehe, that was a long time ago. Those were debug messages that came if you tried to place isometrical terrain, sometimes it registered the click to load as a click on the map and started that.

About time Suicidal updated his page. Last one was back when... around November/December?

Anyone answer what subtitle mode is?

Hmm... Now I'll have to say this:

SCMDraft Terrain > SF Terrain
SF Trigger > SCMDraft Triggers


I've always thought that SCMDraft wouls surpass SF but not in all parameters. Some of SF's bugs give us nice features.

If SI makes a triggering system like SF's and still has the isometric terrain. I will make mad love to SCMdraft... (But, the square terrain has to be faster for me to completely drop SF) Hope it comes out soon i am looking forward to it

this sounds really cool. i love scmdraft and starforge. i cant wait!?

It crashes on me every time I go to close it. I don't care, though, because the end result is the same.

Anyone has an idea when or in how long it will come ut? SI do you know when you should release it or you want to keep it secret.?

I wouldn't quite agree with "all" its features working perfectly...
certain units like seige tanks and goliaths claim they have no air attack or ground attack...and every time they try to attack in StarCraft the whole game freezes up cause of the mpq file that comes with scmdraft 2


the only reason I know all this is cause im a mpq maker...

wtf is a mpq maker?

as I have told you in one of the other 10 threads you posted this in goliaths and siege tanks dont have any attack, only their turrets have an attack.

ADDITION:

well once DW and I are about done with preparing the code for mac port etc I will give it to my beta testers so they can check for bugs and make sure nothing is disabled that shouldn't be, after that a public release
