Problems with the x-tra editor

[Crookedfoot]

Have you ever tried installing it without any extra utilities installed before it?
I'm refering to this arsenal III that you mentioned.
Install SC, then Broodwar Expansion, if you use that, get the 1.09b from bnet.
Then try Xtra Editor, with Nothing Else.

If you have, let me ask you a question about Windows ME.

In Windows XP, you can go into the properties of the install program, and set it's compatibility to Win 2000, Win 98, etc...
Does ME offer this?
If so, try setting it to Win 98.

Here's an off the wall idea, go into the StarCraft file.
Open the Folder Options, from the Tools tab.
Next, choose the View tab.
Set it to Show Hidden Files.

lol ive tried like everything, i did try before and after a format also, ive scanned my pc.. seems like an issue for special ME models.... ive installed it like 12 times in every way i could think of.... i got a question though.. when you guys install it does it create a folder named arr or does it link to arsenal 3? maybe the default install location for it is too long of a path... ? duno i wish i did lol if anyone gets any ideas go ahead and post ill try anything i havnt yet

Personally, I don't run "arsenal 3", it is possible some file that it uses conflicts with Xtra Editor.
Try a clean install of StarCraft, then install Xtra.
I have no folders labeled "arr", it should just install in your SC folder, along side SC.

yes ive tried it without arsenal, ok that answers my question but the problem is x-tra editor is trying to link to arr\images.dat and its not working.... i thought i d/led a messed up version but ive tried different ones and got the same error and i ran it from a fresh reformat so no files where modified.... ill try different things though if i figure it out ill post

 

[Crookedfoot]

I've done a search of my hard drive, and I have nothing even close to "arr\images.dat" in it.
So, that is really throwing me.

You may have to take a step back, and use one of the old Emerald, or Ruby patches, instead of the Xtra Editor.
They are realatively stable, and do most everything the Xtra Editor does.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

The 'arr\images.dat' file is in Stardat.mpq, so you'll need a MPQ viewer to see it.

ok i downloaded the mod SCEP2(emerald patch) self executable..... i get these errors when i try to run it:

Stardraft Patcher
Error reading DocRTF->lines, strings:RichEdit line insertion error.

Scep2
Scep2 has caused an error in SCEP2.EXE
Scep2 will now close.

if you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer.

then i get the same error again and another in KERNEL32.dll

i rebooted, scanned my disk for errors even and it does the same thing again...
