| StarCraft Map Unlapper v1.3 | 217 kb |
What it does: Allows editing of the map name of almost any scx/scm map (protected or not). (Does not remove protection). Pros: Quick, interactive map-name editing. Doesn't mess up other strings or sounds (like Osmap can). Play old lapped games again! Cons: Early stages of release, glitches may be common. Not compatible with all forms of protection (i.e. cannot unlap every map) | 12.23.06 | goto page |
| BroodWar Map Picker | 336 kb |
What it does: Selects a random map when you host a game. Run program, pick a folder, then host a game in starcraft. Pros: Small, simple. Good for hosting random bound games or defense etc.. (without having to search through all your folders manually) Cons: Gets maps from all SUB-folders as well. (All you map-creators watch out you don't host one of your unprotected maps by accident!) | 04.21.05 | download |
| Bmp2Scm 1.1 | 644 kb |
What it does: Makes an image into a scx map. Only on 128x128 size maps. Pros: Original image converter for starcraft. It paved the road for newer and faster programs so show your love. Cons: Very slow loading images. For every color pixel in the image, you need to assign a tile in starcraft - VERY TEDIOUS! However unlike SCPM, you can select your OWN colors in the map. (I would still recommend using SCPM) | 04.21.05 | download |
| Cool Edit 95 | 1.09 mb |
What it does: Simple and complete sound/wav editor. Pros: Cut/copy/paste wavs, COMPRESS sounds for your maps, lots of other utilities for sounds Cons: Registration required for full use, or program crack ;] name:TeLLeRBoP code:RFFAJUGG* | 07.06.05 | download |
| SCPM 5.01 Starcraft Picture Mapper | ? mb |
What it does: Converts an image to an scx map. 128x128 size maps only. Pros: VERY fast image processing. Easy interface. Brightness & contrast adjustments. Adjustable Terrain type. Cons: Can't customize map colors. Minimap images usually come out brownish/blueish. But still a better program than bmp2scm. Recommended! | 11/28/2008 | goto site (version updates) try this link if other is dead |
| GUEdit 3.6a | 807 kb | What it does: Great multi-purpose program. Requires java installed. FEATURES: Map protection. Change player colors. (see player colors tutorial) Change terrain type. Repairs zero location bug. And lots of other options. | 04.21.05 | download |
| Scx2Jpg | 1.02 mb |
What it does: Grabs minimap or entire map from scx/scm files and saves to an image. Save to jpg/gif/bmp. Pros: Good for quickly creating images of dozens (or hundreds) of maps at a time. Cons: Doesn't always get the exact colors in the minimap right. Images come out not looking like the real minimap in-game. (see any images in my bound archive. I used this program) | 04.21.05 | download |
| Starforge 2.0 | 1.87 mb |
What it does: Edit and make starcraft maps! If you make maps, you need this program. Not for the beginner mapper. Warning! If you use SC Xtra along with Starfroge to edit your map, YOU COULD SERIOUSLY SCREW UP YOUR MAP! Make backups often! (I'd recommend making a backup everytime you switch between different editors) Pros: 1x1 tile editing. Add units/sprites that no other editor can (ie. nuke explosions, unburrow smoke...) Many other cool 'buggy' effects: Edit unit health for wierd colors. Add units/triggers for players 1-255. 2x speed. Cons: Confusing interface for newbies. Adding Sounds to map is VERY buggy. (take sounds out of map before editing with starforge) Editing triggers needs improvement: Vulnerable to typos. Can't 'disable' an action like unchecking a box in SC Xtra. Can't order triggers easily. | 04.21.05 | download |
| SCM Draft 2 | ? kb |
What it does: Map editor. If you don't wanna be part of the "in" crowd, using the big, hot editors like Xtra or Starforge, then give SCMDraft a try! I don't use this much so I can't tell you much about it. But I find it useful to have a third editor in case I get some sort of bug in my map that the other editors can't fix. Like: I couldn't open my map I worked on for a week. It crashed every time I tried to open it. However, SCM Draft was able to open the map, and it turned out to be a buggy unit that I just deleted, and after that the map worked fine. Pros: ? Cons: ? | 04.21.05 | goto site (version updates) |
| SC Xtra 2.6 | ? kb |
What it does: The map editor for starcraft. Get this program now. Now I said! Pros: Good, easy interface. Add sounds to your map, edit triggers, locations, terrain, unit properties etc.. Cons: Man if this editor could handle 1x1 tile editing, I might spooch myself. But it doesn't. Too bad. | 04.21.05 | goto site (SCXE) |
| Special Protector 2 | 645 kb |
What it does: Protection for .scx/.scm maps. Pros: Very quick & EASY !! Rumored to protect against OSMAP un-protection (hasn't been personally tested tho) Cons: Non-english author. | 10.01.07 | original site download |
| Togikon's Map Protector | 257 kb |
What it does: Protects your scm/scx map. Export .chk file from your map first, protect it, then import it back in. Pros: Supreme map protection! Latest, greatest map protector out there. Cons: Takes some getting used to. Need to use 2 different programs (both included) to accomplish protection. | 04.21.05 | download |
