This is so frustrating – I used to love using the map editor and used to use stuff like I think Emerald and maybe StarDraft back in the day. Everything online says to use ScmDraft, so I downloaded it, both by putting it in Program Files and putting it in the Starcraft 1 folder.
“msvcr100.dll was not found” comes up either way. But I’ve searched and it’s on my computer in System32 where it should be. Apparently this probably has been posted online, yet I’ve not found a solution. =( I just want to make adjustments to old maps of mine but I’ve had no luck so far. Who uses ScmDraft, does it work, and did you ever encounter this issue?
Version 9 used to work for me, I remember that I had the same issue and it was solved after downloading Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. After I changed computer that didn’t work anymore so I downgraded to version 8, which is the latest one that works in my computer .
Appreciate the response RoughRider. For whatever reason, it’s not downloading StarEdit. I am using Chrome, and then I tried to see what would happen if I used Edge, and it said Staredit.zip couldn’t be opened securely.
Sorry, but I can’t remember if I had that problem when I downloaded StarEdit.
It could be a firewall issue in which case you might need to make an exception in your anti-virus software.
If not that then it might be a problem with how the files are being extracted. You might need to check the default program that you’re using for this(to do this right click Staredit.zip and select “Open with…”[usually I use “File Explorer”, but you might need to use “Windows Explorer” or another program if those are not an option]).
So for anyone in the future who has this problem and finds this thread in a search engine: Staredit.zip did not want to download on Chrome. Same on Edge, but I pressed the “…” on the file in the downloads section on Edge and selected “keep.” I downloaded Staredit and I put ScmDraft into the same folder as Staredit with the MPQ files.
That allowed ScmDraft (an older version) to locate those files and open as normal. I was able to edit an old map of mine with changes I’ve been thinking about, save it, and Starcraft played the map as normal with my changes working.
I was literally just experiencing the same problem as you. recently just discovered the new FREE release of starcraft and of course I had to play it again but thats besides the point I used to edit the maps too and it was fun. I wanted better parameters than staredit had. you can get staredit by trying to find it online bypass the firewall in edge by opening it in another incognito tab and the download will start. get the staredit and it has the broodat.mpq and the stardat,mpq. download the older version of mscdraft from the page the “archived” version and put it in you starcraft folder then copy the MPQs from staredit and put them in the same place. I tried getting those Dlls from dll-files and it didnt work for the newest version so I resorted to just trying things that were suggested in here and it worked out. im playing the new release and its all digital copy and Im on windows 11 64 bit OS
