page: 1
Enlighten me, How do i install these maps? I am on a mac, if that changes anything. I downloaded one, but when i click on it, it says there is no app to open it. Will it auto install it in SC when i download it?

I assume you have the game brood war. You do not need to install them to play the maps, simply put the files somewhere in your /starcraft/maps/ directory and chose them as maps when you start a game.

If you want to open them in an editor, you could try doing it with staredit, or download some third-party tool like starforge.

Thanks, got them working!

I don't think that any of the better third party editors has been ported to Mac. There were attempts at SF and SCMD2, I think, but I never heard of any results.

XEdit i believe is the mac editor of choice, you can get it over at SEN.

Wasn't Emerald Edit available on Mac, too? Not sure about it. Emerald sure is old, though.

Yep, I have followed the development of XEdit for a while. When I last heard about it, it was far behind SCMD2, though. At least it could do CustomTerrain.

Wouldn't Starfire be the best editor? They say that Unknown Edit is still under major construction, and has problems.
