StarForge - The new map making Editor

[Heimdal]

The "StarForge.dll file not found" error was a problem in the code that I forgot to fix before compiling the first release. I fixed this about 10 minutes after posting the program. Please re-download StarForge.

Be sure to run SFInstall.exe before trying to run StarForge. It will not open a window, but it sets registry options. Be sure that it is in the same directory as StarForge before you run it!

Yeah, im getting an error saying that some file is old and you need a newer version to run this program.(i currently run Windows 98)


+++++++++++++
EDIT
+++++++++++++

The file is: OLEAUT32.DLL

Does anyone know where to find a newer one that i can run SF with??

When I try to run SFInstaller, nothing happens at all, no errors nothing. Then I try to run StarForge, and it gives me a 'mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependancies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid'. Now this means????

Thanks a lot, i got it working now, anyway, do you think you could make the triggers slightly less complicated in the newer version coming out?

Also:

I'm loving the terrain editor.
Briefings, sound, description, special ability settings, upgrade settings, and minimap don't work. But this will definatly replace scm draft, and soon xtra editor. How do you make the triggers for like players 9-255?

StarForge Troubleshooting

MAKE SURE YOU RUN SFINSTALL BEFORE RUNNING STARFORGE! It does not open a window but it does do something.

Problem: "Can't find StarForge.dll"
Solution: Re-download the program. The error was in the code, I have since fixed it.

Problem: Units show up as black boxes
Solution: Run SFInstall.exe

Problem: Missing any .ocx file
Solution: Download the common controls file from the editors page (same place you got StarForge) and unzip its contents into your windows\system folder.

Problem: Missing Oleaut32.dll
Solution: Go here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?oleaut32

Try to keep the bug reports on those forums, it will help keep them together since I can moderate them.

The vivacity of Blizzforums was lower than Battleforums before StarForge's release. Now it's vice versa. I find that very strange.

My trigger editor does not work, when i type nothing happens, no pull down trigger, no nothing.
I cant make a new map, SF crashes.
when saving a map, u have to click like 5 times, i dont care what is going on, i just want it to happen,
the terrain editor makes terrain from the corner,(where your mouse is) not centered.
all unit attack sprites crash BW/SC,
ground units may be placed in unplacable places (LOL),
the doors are all facing the same way,
some unit graphics look wierd (Traps), crash noradii,
NO MINI MAP!!! ----> NOT EASY TO NAVIGATE THE MAP!,
no briefings,
no sound manager,
no text colors (i think they at the bottom of forces slot but dun work),
moving units by arrow keys is really small (make adjustable),
the units dont idle ---> just like scm draft ---.SCXE is good, because it looks good.
unit properties are all allowed(burrowed???? crash SC)
cant select unit by just clicking (gotta drag)
all the xtra properties crash SC/BW what they do anyway?
unit prperties doesnt tell u wehat unit ur looking at
circles (show you they selected) dont fit around units
fog of war layer dont work
location layer dont work
show pylon region dont work
show locations dont work
unit view range dont work
cant make map description
the scenerio items do not work (description,others)
THIS PROGRAM CRASHES LIKE MAD, when u click something u shouldnt, instead of making a sound it says "illegal operation..." and crashes.
many more

Matrix click Heimdal's sig and go to Editors, its right there.

when i create a new map, there is an invalid page fault in starforge.dll(at 0167:10005bbd if it helps)
when i open a map, there is an invalid page fault in the kernel32.dll(at 0167:bff7a388)

other than that, everything works perfectly.(wait, i cant do anything lol)

im on windows 98 se

ima try restarting, see if it helps

EDIT: for next version, hardcode starcraft/maps as the default folder....thats a lot of browsing to get there, pain in the ass after a map or two

 

[Infested.Fenix]

click on hemidals signature, thatll take u to a site, on the side click editors and click starforge, and that should be the most updated 1.

And the reason why the installer isnt working is cuz it is working. It doesnt make a window. It runs silently, and it just does registration for program and stuff, and after u click installer, then click sf and it should start.

Be sure if ur making new map, (to test out SF) to specify map size, or it crashes had this problem myself.

That is what happens Infested after I've run the install and tried to open SF.

the errors i had previously were due to this one map(after i tried to open it i couldnt open it or create a new map) i have listed a description on my second error.

-when clicking on forces tab: STARFORGE caused an invalid page fault in module STARFORGE.DLL at 0167:10005b18.
-when opening a previously made map containing: p12 items such as vespene powerups, flags, beacons, disruption web; player creatures: STARFORGE caused an invalid page fault in
module STARFORGE.DLL at [whatever the openmap location was in my last post.
-sounds menu and the mission breifings menu do not open.
-undo function does not function
-you can only drag select from upper left(real pain)
-werent you supposed to be able to drag/copy/paste units/etc?
-geysers, traps, and doors have "hippie" colors
-you can place unlimited starting locations
-also upgrade settings and ability settings menus do not open
-player settings menu has nothing in it
-cant change to regular terrain editing?
-cant create new location?
-changing layers from dropdown menu does not work
-creating a map with a decimal width or height immediately crashes starforge(useless knowledge lol)
-and now it crashes immediately (due to above error) and ill have to restart.
