SC Trigger (http://www.scindex.com/downloads/?fileid=177) and what it does.
Helps you make triggers that give money or a set number of points for every kill made by a player.

Side note add: Btw, I consider it a miscelaneous tool for triggering. And as usual, this post can be dealt as any staff may deem it fit. :)

Add: After seeing the tools better I noticed that StarDraft (http://www.campaigncreations.org/starcraft/programs/index.shtml) is also missing, altough it's an old tool some still use it and then convert it's files with more recent ones.
This utility allows one to run patched versions of StarCraft without actually modifying any of the files inside the MPQ archives permanently. Also see StarDraft tutor (below). Now includes an MPQ Viewer, Arsenal II (a *.dat file editor), a TBL editor, and a StatPrinter as part of CWAD Manager. (Note, they are not the same exact programs as offered seperately on the download page.) (Versions for 1.03 - 1.05 [1.07 compatible])

Uberation is on like version 2.0.0.8 or so. Check on staredit.net, that's its homepage.

In fact, Heroic' the link we have above (1st post) leads there already as it is. But perhaps it's best if we remove the version of the app in the description, since it's an ongoing project likely to change unlike ProEdit nowadays. *Hint, hint* ;)

Edit add (eons later): Reminded that an important MPQDraft's plug-in for SC-BW (aka MPQ File List Creator (http://shadowflare.gameproc.com/dwnload.html)) was missing from the additional files section and now added it here. :)

[Basan]

Found out a new tool for duplicating and/or addpating triggers: Trigger Duplicator (http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=4086)
Trigger Duplicator is a program that allows you to insert a specified trigger many times into a map, with numerical vairables.

For instance, you could do this:

For x = 0 to 100 with an interval of 1

CONDITIONS:
Deaths(CurrentPlayer, AtLeast, 1, $x);

ACTIONS:
SetScore(CurrentPlayer, Add, $x, Custom);
SetDeaths(CurrentPlayer, $x, Set, 0);
PreserveTrigger();

Compiling would result in 100 new triggers being added, different units resulting in different custom scores being added.

Trigger Duplicator also supports custom numerical vairables ($a-$e)

Important: String and Location fields refer to the NUMBER of the string/location. Use the two buttons at the bottom of the main window to find the number

Although haven't test tried it out, it seems to be a triggster time sparing program when it comes to deal with replicating triggers and later on addapting'em.

Edit add (way later): The Classic TrigEdit (http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=4170) plugin for SCMDraft 2, wich I forgot to add here... :cry: but remembered today and as they say: "Better late than never". :D
A plugin for SCMdraft which emulates the regular Staredit style of triggering. For those who don't want to use those sometimes confusing and buggy 3rd party editors which force you to write stuff out, this is for you!

Tiny note: After checked and if added the tools/links provided, you may deal with my posts as it may deem fit. ;)

[Basan]

/me nudges politely for a thread review * ;)

Here's the SF Playlist plugin (http://shadowflare.gameproc.com/dwnload.html) for MPQDraft. Please scroll down a tad for it.
This is an MPQDraft plugin that allows you to use a playlist for the music in a Blizzard game.

Classic TrigEdit link should link to the Author's website which will always contain the latest version.

You're right. Have grown that tendency fo dl'ing everything SC related from the least tool sites possible. I should know better... :P

And I also found out a site that has reference lists (SC-BW, WC2, WC3-TFT and even WoW) for most *.mpq's used in Blizz's games. I'll link it here (direct dl) (http://zezula.net/download/listfiles.zip), since have noticed that it has less unknowns than UED's list for SC-BW (read, 4 vs. 6). Although, since it's Czech site I suspect that UED' won't be that far away... ;)

[L2_1989]

There's a link in there that's dead, Soverign Modding Empire. I clicked on it and it said "Not Found". I know it wasn't updated for months.

[DiscipleOfAdun]

Here is my updated Arsenal Zero Units.dat format file. All entries have labels that match what they do.

[Basan]

*Wohoo* And following the Disciple's flow (and thanking him dearly), here's the latest MemGraft (http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=3096) - compatible with SC-BW v1.13e. :D

[Rainor]

You can also get GotED (http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=4043) for the modding tools and for the mapping tools you can get scmdraft prerelease #2 on stormcoast-fortress (http://www.stormcoast-fortress.net/).

[Terran-u-Apart]

Hey i got a question:

Where can i go to download a mod that lets my terrain be 1 x 1 squares instead of 1 x 2 rectangles? Thanks for the help.

You don't need a modding tool for that. Map editors can handle your request just fine. I'll elaborate (below). :)

In the advanced editors, such as SCMDraft 2 and SF, you can do that.
At SF it's set from the get go as soon as you open the "Terrain layer".
For SCDMDraft 2, you also must set the "Terrain layer", switch from "Isometrical" to "Rectangular" in one of the top boxes and it's done.
It will work on both cases, I guarantee. ;)

Add: Now that I read it, it looks like a FAQ's question also that have missed to add (read, while it was in my hands), though. *Hint, hint* :angel:

[Terran-u-Apart]

Well im using SC X-tra Editor currently for my maps, but if i need SCMDraft2 can you tell me where to download it? :)

[Rainor]

See my previus post and you will now.

/me looks up at thread's title and thinks how this is getting ridiculous * :rolleyes:
Just head to the 1st page and all of those will be there in the 1st post. ;p

See my previus post and you will now.

Just not to mention that you've linked the original site, altough we already had it linked at the 1st post (again, in the 1st page). :P

Summing up: Would it be to tiresome if you both looked more carefully, before posting stuff along these lines? ;)

[MAE2588]

I have a question, but I don't know where to go.


My SCXE isn't wanting to work. Every time I try to open one of the programs, It says that some sort of image file is missing.

I was hoping that yo ucan help me fix my problem.

*Meh's and hints (for a next occasion)* You just could've posted a new thread for it here at the Maps & Mods Depot section and not inside the resources thread but what the heck... ain't from the staff afterall. ;)
/me waves and (politely) asks for a thread makeover over this post *
And welcome to WB's, anyway.

1st of all, do you possess the BW CD expansion? If not SCXE won't work, no matter how hard you try it. :)

2nd, if it's file image missing I'm beggining to doubt if that even is a legal copy of SC. And if it isn't, we (at this community) can't help ya further on this matter... *Cough*Rule breaking (http://www.warboards.org/faq.php?faq=faq_rules#faq_faq_rules_badtopics)*Cou gh* :smirk:

[Terran-u-Apart]

Whenever i try and download StarForge2.2 it just downloads the zip file with nothing in it, and it can't run the program. Anyone know how to help?

[Terran-u-Apart]

Hey, I'm an idiot i fixed that problem. But, unfortunately, I got another. My, bound, map was working perfectly until i added the 4th level. Once I did that the explosions became very delayed, as if i put in like a 50000 millisecond wait time. If you can help please respond :).



If that doesn't make any sense to you can someone tell me how to post my map so you can take a look at it?

Thank you for clearing that up. I don't have the BW expansion (I'm guessing that's sort for Brood War.) Sorry about cutting the thread.

Since I'm here tho, is there a Editor similar to SCXE that can be used for Starcraft?

[Holocaust]

Similiar?
hmmm, the Editor that I know of that is most similiar but has more options is I think SC X-tra Editor, unless it can only be used for SC BW, I'm not sure
It can be downloaded off starcraft.org or the SEN

[Basan]

Mae2588, since you don't have the BW just go for the latest SCMDRaft 2. ;)
It's rather similar, especially since it's made by the same fellas. The problem about SCXE is that it reads from the files that BW leaves on your HD, thus making it impossible to run from a SC only installation (although it can make maps solely for SC vanilla as well).

The UED77's MPQ Listfile link doesn't work (it links to a page on SC.org with a 404 error message, saying file not found)
Where else can I find a MPQ file list for the SC CD?

EDIT----------------------------------------------------------------------

I did a google search for it, and found it in a compleatly different section of SC.org. I'm asumeing that SC.org have changed there site since that post was made, so you should probably check what other links in that list need ti be redone

[Basan]

William_Clinch, check one of my posts below (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=233822&postcount=9) the one you've quoted. I know they're few, but it's there none the less. :P
It has an alternative (site) to the UED's list presented there. And it's more complete too, imo. ;)

I'd love to update it, but I'm not allowed to edit an admin's post. I'll pester AJ about it or I'll just prepare something and have him edit his post.

Although you're trying to be helpful, you can see that I've already linked to that in my... say previous post and another one in the thread's beggining. Thus, please, read a tad more carefully next time before posting, ok? ;)
