Map editing

[Piro]

Wah! help!
I just decided in the spur of the moment to start enhancing and editing maps, to start with some bugfixes with braveheart castle assault and ww2 final hour 1.5

Problem is that final hour refuses to open in staredit, and i've read here you need extra stuff to mix terran zerg and toss units whilst keeping player colour, how do i get staredit to open those kinds of maps, and what else is necessary to edit UMS maps sucessfully?

If the map denies access to the map completely, it has been protected.
Unless you have the makers password, and a map protection type program, save your energy for a new map of your own.

If the map opens, but tells you that ?? units were unplacable, and were deleted, I would suggest the X-tra Editor.
Best you'll find, or ever use.
Find it at this page.

The rest comes with experience.

Good luck,

Don't... modify... other ppls maps...!!! Unless he/she asked you or you got his/hers permission. Aaanyways... if you cant open it, let it be. And... if you don't have SCXE... get it!
