Making maps without starcraft

Is there a way to make StarEdit.exe (or any other similar program) to work without starcraft installed?

I know it requires storm.dll, but I have downloaded it and it won't run anyway (no messages, just doesn't respond to double click).

Maybe you should just install starcraft, that way you can also TEST your map... And testing is something you're going to need to do a lot of... If you can't install StarCraft for some reason, then I'm sorry, I guess you can't use staredit.

You'd also need StarDat.mpq, BrooDat.mpq, and patch_rt.mpq. I don't know if that's all you need with Storm.dll, but I know that those are required.

that is just it, I don't have starcraft anymore. I used to play it a long time ago and sold it.

The reason I'd want to use Staredit is because there are some great "indoor" tiles and objects there that I'd like to take a glimps on, maybe use for inspiration on some 3D modeling etc. I don't want to make real maps or play them.

I supose there is no way to get all these mpq files, right?

Someone can't send you the files? Someone such as me? (not saying I will)

well, it's a starcraft forum, and it seems a bit less "mainstream" so I thought there would be more here willing to do something like that..


anyway..

thank you for your offer..

Do you have some web space?

I believe my mail inbox can't hold 60-ish Mb.
I have some webspace too, I'd let you upload there, but it's only 25Mb

any suggestions?

I had no idea the startdat.mpq was 62 mb's... I have 56k, so it would take centuries to upload... Sorry dude.

Well, You cant make a half ass decent map without testing, and frankly, Staredit is a good, but somewhat ummm a side addition for true map making. Anyway many people (including me) Would be happy to transfer the files, If you have an msn account, il transfer.

hi there. The maps would hot be for playing. I just wanted to extract some of the cool interior (installation) tiles, walls, objects, pits for inspiration, becase I'm planing on doing some 3D modeling of similar spaces (not related to starcraft though) and I remember I really loved some of the artwork on installation maps.

here is my e-mail adress, so you can find me on msn messanger:
crystalblue@post.t-com.hr

thanks

I hope that you are aware of the file size of stardat.mpq

edit: in case hawkaine does not return, the request is still active, if anyone else is willing to send me the files please let me know

Getting a CD key is one of the easiest things, I really would not need your CD key for seversal reasons:

1. I don't have starcraft at all
2. You can always get CD keys or CD key generators of file share networks
3. I don't know how to edit mpq files, I could figure it out, but no need for that since I just want the staredit.exe to work

Still nothing, I guess someone else is going to have to help me out.
So I reopen the request. Anyone willing to send me stardat.mpq and the other two mpq files (optional, I could live with stardat.mpq if is going to run staredit.exe)
please PM me

thanks
