Report, edit, etc...Posted by WA-Rommel2 on 2006-05-25 at 19:12:35

i just ported my map that i was working from, from my old computer to my new. I used a blank CD-R disk to transport the file. Everything works fine when i open it and change things. But when i try to save it says:

could not open file C:\programs files\starcraft\maps\download\WW2 Rise of Germany. scx for writing

PLEASE HELP I SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THIS MAP!!! IS THERE ANYWAY TO FIX THIS!!!!?!?!?!

this map opens with Starforge and scm draft, but im not using those tools to make this i want to use XTRA EDITOR 2.6 (which is my favorite editor but won't save)

Please help

It seems there's a space between ".scx". Try removing it.

Is the file in use by another process when you are trying to save it (i.e. Starcraft or another editor)?

When you say you can work on it with Starforge, does that mean you can save it normally? This might be just an annoying glitch in X-Tra Editor, which I highly reccommend you switch away from.

Where in the world did you get that from? He didn't say anything about uninstalling anything.

well i didn't do it yet

i uninstalled starforge and all its components, all thats left is Xtra Editor...

And yes, i am not switching from Xtra Editor to starforge

Xtra editors Special feature allows for alot of things starforge doesn't allow, plus its user friendly

Anybody help me please!!!

What can X-tra do that Starforge can't?

And if you have a user-friendly issue, use SCMDraft2.

For your problem, why not just save it as a new file?

i apologize, i could save the file all along, but everytime i save for that map, that damn thing pops up.

so everythings fine, but that damn thing will pop up when i save, a minor annoyence, sorta pissies me off with all the effort i put into trying to solve the problem

yea.. this is happened to me b4...sometimes if previously opened on sf it creates this bug...and u cant save...maybe it will work if u do the map on starforge...

anyway i can save the file fine, but that thing will pop up, yes i did save it on starforg (for the colors) so your explanation makes perfect sense.
