SCM Toolkit error (yes, the 50th thread)

[sidrial]

Heee, I know that there are already to much threads about this, but I cant let SCM Toolkit work. Because when I try to open a map, it gives me this error:

Run-time error '53'
File not found.

Many of u have errors because you miss mpq2k, but I have this file placed by the map and in the root of the starcraft folder

I also did all the things in the main thread, but it doesnt seem to help...

Does anyone know wich file I miss??

read the how to instal stick that may help i think

Ugh another loser who can't get scm toolkit to work:

1. Your missing some v-basic runtime files that come with windows that are required for it to work.
2. try not clicking anywhere on the map once it opens a map.
3. Open a .chk of a map not the .scm/x

This may take a few return trips, since it's a unique problem.

Did you place the VBR4, and the RUNPACK1 in the toolkits file, and then install each to default directory, and the toolkits directory?

 

[sidrial]

uhm, i did install the setup of the VBR4 and the RUNPACK1 to the default (system32) and the the root of starcraft (where my scm toolkit is located)
I also tried to make a new map under my maps folder called "Scm Toolkit" and did the same there..

Is is true that you need to open a .chk file??? Because I tried it with some .scm maps...

 

[sidrial]

ow jeah, I did followed the instructions of the topic: "How I get Scm Toolkit to work"
And I can run the program called Guedit and Stardraft etc..
Only you cant stack with it, and I want to make a 1on1 map (ye ye, Im sorry, I want to make a money map)

 

[tassadar920]

ok if scm draft is really not working, i have on last way for you to do stack, i do not recommend this as it IS hard.

get SCM Toolkit, that allows you to stack units by placing their X, Y coordinates above each other.

 

[Crookedfoot]

Tass ... that's the problem , he is trying to get SCM Toolkit to work, not the others.

Whenever I ran SCM Toolkit, I never had to open a .chk file, only the .scm, and .scx.

Is Guedit and Stardraft in the same 1.07 SC folder as the SCM Toolkit?
If so, ((though I doubt they are in there)), they may be causing some interference.

Feel free to message me sometime, we can try it step by step and see if we can get it working.

oh whoops you are trying to use scm toolkit??? o lol

Try using SCM Draft .

My Toolkit is messed up, andi can only open .chk versions of maps.

For scm toolkit to run properly:

1. it must be in a different folder then starcraft (place it on your desktop in a folder "scm toolkit" for example)
2. it must have:

lmqqapi.dll
storm.dll
mpq2k
staredit
Scm toolkit.reg
folder: mpq2k
- lmpqapi.dll
- storm.dll
- staredit
- mpq2k

3.

Before you can open an scm or scx you need to give the
program the location of mpq2k or lmpq. Click options
then browse and open the file for your mpq archiver.
Mpq2k and lmpq are the only ones supported currently
(and the only ones that exist). If you are using Lmpq
or a version of Mpq2k older than 2.0, select the "Lmpq
or old Mpq2k" option. If you don't know what your
version is, leave this setting at its default.
If you are using Windows 2000 or XP (and possibly NT 4),
Double-click ScmToolkit.reg or right-click and select
"Merge" to make it so Scm Toolkit can save its settings
properly.

ok, i have guedit installed under my desktop, and I just tried to install scmtoolkit under my desktop, but it still gives me the same error :'(...

About Scmdraft, it did worked, and i did stacked some minerals using the place anywhere mode, but i cant save with this program....maybe you know a answer to that (if that is a noob question, im sorry, i didnt take time to read all the topics about scmdraft, only about scmtoolkit)

 

[sidrial]

ooooow k, now it getting weird, i downloaded scmdraft again, and i made a map with normal staredit, 2 starting point and 1 normal mineral..
Then i opened it with scmdraft, and created a building and a (second) crystal and saved it.. When i played the map with starcraft, i had: everything except the second mineral...looks like i cant save/make minerals with scmdraft???

 

[sidrial]

aaah, finally...
i searched the internet and after a hour i found it.....
player 12 is for the minerals, so now I can use scmdraft and stack.
So I think I dont need scm toolkit anymore, but if you know how its work, you can ofcourse still tell me...
tnx 2 all who helped me

 

[Crookedfoot]

I think you helped yourself more than anything, but I'm glad you got something to work.

Make glorious maps with your new found abilities, but be aware, you will be despised by all normal map players.

Meh, they'll get over it.

 

[tassadar920]

Good job getting scm draft to work, if you hadn't posted both messages about scm draft in a 2 hours period, i would have posted something to help, you should be more patient .

 

[alzdaman]

:unlucky I keep getting the message cannot find staredit/scenario.chk I would like to hear from someone who has fixed the problem b 4 ive tried everything EVERYTHING!!

 

[Crookedfoot]

Be sure to place the StarEdit.exe icon in the exact same file as the map you are opening with SCM Toolkit, the same goes for the MPQ2K.exe icon.

 

[fritfrat]

at the bottom of that tutorial thing it says like 4 things why that can go wrong. also, make sure staredit is not open when trying to use scmtoolkit.

now, I have a question. does the 1.07 folder for SCM toolkit have to be named starcraft? because right now every single time I use it I have to rename my starcraft folder to something else and rename the 1.07 folder to starcraft, use it, and rename them both back. this is a huge hastle and I was just wondering if there was a way to do this without naming the 1.07 folder starcraft.

 

[Crookedfoot]

The 1.07 folder stands alone, it can be on any partition, and be under any name.
Once you get the utility to work, you can direct it to your normal maps folder, as long as you have a copy of StarEdit, and MPQ2K in the same folder as the map you are working on.

Catch me on a messanger sometime, my screen names are in my profile.
I need to re-install SCM myself, we can walk through it together.
