ScmDraft2 not working after the patch

[Seroma-11624]

Hello after the last patch today I tried to run ScmDraft2 but when I press lunch an error appeared saying
“23:49:12.0930- Error::nable to initialize scmdraft’s game engine! (hr = 0x80070002) Launch with the -console command line for detailed error info.”

Edited: Check ScmDraft2 website they fixed the issue

Hey all,

ScmDraft is not Blizzard’s. It’s a third party app, thus Bliz isn’t doing any development or support with it. You’ll have to contact the author, Sinsanity, if there are any issues.

The good news is that Sinsanity is pretty timely with keeping up with patches. If you bookmark their history, you’ll be able to see when updates to ScmDraft are released. From there, all you’d need to do is grab the newest version.

For reporting new issues, I suspect the Sinsanity is following these threads:

ScmDraft 2 - Alternative starcraft map editor

What is it: ScmDraft is an un-official map editor for StarCraft. It supports all map-making features available using the default map editor (StarEdit), but also supports additional features such as non-isometrical and extended terrain (Most common example of this is creating backwards ramps and wider ramps) which are used in most pro maps, direct sprite placement, copy+paste, brush management, extended map-debugging capabilities, and many more. The latest official (stable) release is available…

StarEdit Deprecation in Patch 1.23.0

Attention Map Makers, With the release of our 1.23.0 patch July 9th, we’ll be deprecating the support and distribution of StarEdit. The MM community in StarCraft is fantastic, and we recognize this. Countless amazing maps have been created over the past 20 years, and we hope for many more years to come. For this reason, we highly encourage folks to use SCMDRAFT 2: SCMDRAFT is not only more robust than StarEdit, but it’s also much more user-friendly. Although SCMDRAFT is an unofficial editor …

Plus, I suspect there’s a way to contact Sinsanity where you download ScmDraft (I’ve never used it so don’t quote me).

Question,… where is the original Editor for Starcraft 1 ? I want only check my old campaign, stored since 20 years.

StarEdit, the classic editor of StarCraft, has been removed from the game client with Patch 1.23.0. (Source)
Moreover, the editor is no longer supported by Blizzard. You can download the last functional version of StarEdit here: Public StarEdit download
