Is there any way to do this on Starcraft 1.14? Back in the day GUEdit used to let you do this. I want to make a melee map where everyone is the same color.

er.. i think you can just hex edit it. lemme ask farty 1 sec.
that should work.
QUOTE(O)FaRTy1billion)
hex edit it and "find"
434F4C52 (as hex) or COLR (as text)
it will start as 08000000 or something, and then
0001020304050607 OR
0001020304050807
Each byte is 1 color
00 = red
01 = blue
02 = teal
03 = purple
04 = orange
05 = brown
06 = white
07 = yellow
08 = green
09 = gold (or tan)
10 = tan (or gold, I forgot the order)
11 = azure

This is for brood war not normal starcraft.

It only works for Broodwar maps. *.SCM maps do not have the section at all.
EDIT:
Oh, and renaming it to *.SCX does not make it a Broodwar map and have that section.
If that is the problem, you will need to do Save As and choose SCX.

I get the same problem with a Broodwar (.SCX) map.
EDIT: I didn't rename it, I did a SAVE AS and chose .SCX.

Are you sure you started at the top and searched down? It should be there.

I'm a silly goose. I had to use a MPQ editor to extract the map first.
EDIT: Question.. how do I compress the modified file back into the .scx?

Open it in SCMDraft2 and save it as a .scx, or overwrite the .chk in a map of the same size and tileset using an MPQ editor.

You just need to put it in an MPQ. It doesn't have to be in any specific one.
Oh, GoldenKnight. Size and tileset are save in the CHK so it makes no difference what MPQ you put it in.

I used to do google searches on how to unprotect/protect maps using only a hex editor (and they are annoying to find), and it said something about making a map the same size and tileset when overwriting the .chk after editing, but meh.
EDIT: I finally remembered. You had to create a map of the same tileset and size and extract its .chk, and compare it to the protected .chk to see the changes. I won't say anymore because of protectionn issues.

Awesome guys, thanks a lot!! I finally got it to work, I opened the edited .chk with stardraft, for some reason I had to save it as a .scx twice or else it was corrupted.. but it works now! Now would any of you guys know what the hex code is for black? Thanks!

2F should be black.
