helpsmilie.gif First fo all i'm new here and i enjoy making maps but my download file in my starcraft game got overloaded and now it stops at the letter p.
Ok. heres the problem, i started a map withstarcraft campaign editor the i saved
it in the up one level file. i the saved it agian to my desktop and opened it with
my scmdraft. I finshed the map, saved it, then opened it with starcraft campaign editor. I wanted to saev it in the up one level file, but none of the starcraft game files appear. This insint the first time it happened, none of the maps i make with scmdraft will saev into any starcraft game files. Whar should i do? cry.gif

i don't quite understand your post, but i'll try

you saved it on your desktop?

you know starcraft can't read maps from the desktop. you'll need to move it to the maps folder(or any folder inside of that one).

ps. they're not called files, they're called folders.


my other interpretation of your post is when you went to the save map window, where there should be maps, it was entirely empty?

if so, then it might be cause your new map is a .scm and your other ones are .scx or vice versa.

We don't want your map. The map has no problems.

Are you new to using a compute? Because all Save file windows have a little drop down list at the top that allows you to choose the directory that you want to save it in. Navigate to your SC dir, and save it in the Maps folder.

No, i am not new to using a computer. I click save as, and no starcraft foldiers pop up. At the bottem it says: Brood war Scenario (*.scx)
Argh, even if i use starcraft campaign editor none of the starcraft foldiers pop up. ranting.gif

ADDITION:
Ok, i tried what u said, i used the directory from my save file window, i went to my starcraft cd, and none of the starcraft map foldiers are there. Only IPS and Support foldiers r there, with non of the map foldiers in them.

ADDITION:
w00t.gif YES! Ok, i got it to save. Hees what i did:

FIrst of all, i swiched my map to scmdraft becuse i couldn't find any clif or bridge doodads in the doodad window. But i relized that you had to scroll up in order to get it. So i fixed my map. (thankfully i saved one on my desktop and one in a starcraft file [the one on the desktop was better]) Now my map is done, but i still cant save maps i make with scmdraft on anything but the desktop. But, dose anyone want to try my new map on bnet? Or maby i can post it here? biggrin.gif

ADDITION:
ok, well, i got want i wanted out of this post (i got to save my map) but i will still come here every so often. I will be making a new post asking poeple what was the best map they made/played. I wills till like help on saveing my maps i make with scmdraft, but other then that, see ya! bye1.gif
