my latest map with just terrain was made. when i first go into the game it crashes and ive looked it over and i cannot find out why. can anyone help?
You know what you got me on this one.

I couldn't even open your map in X-tra editor, but I could with StarForge and I don't know what the problem is. This is really weird? Maybe your computer damaged the file somehow and now it just crashes starcraft.
because you can not have null terrain, thats what is crashing starcraft.
NO! Null terrain doesn't crash SC. I'll take a look at the map now..
Somehow you got a tile in there that doesn't exist in that tileset. That will crash SC.
Fixed map is attached.
oh i c, i applied terrain over all the null tiles and tested it and it worked, so i thought it was the null terrain that was the problem.
The black tiles aren't actually null, but they show up as black in SF because they don't exist in the tileset. I wonder if he had changed tilesets. If he never comes back maybe we'll never find out.
