Hello. I am an old school Broodwar player. I have a map that I am very fond of called ( Fastest Map Magma) its 192x192, and has given me years of enjoyment, except for one small thorn. There are only 7 slots , 7 start points. When I opened up the original editor, to add the 8th position ( in the top left corner of the map) It will not allow me to do it. No matter how hard i have tried, the map is maybe 10 years old by now, I cannot figure it out. As a special request, to any real Starcraft fan, I am asking with all sincerity for your help. My email address is not the one listed..That was simply for my login. The one i check the most is Marcujetson@gmail.com. There is no "s" in marcus for that email. All im asking, is for one of you guys to take my map, and add that 8th slot, and return it to me. Please. It's probably is some idiotic simple thing, but I just do not know how. I would appreciate your help. thank you so very much. I would attach it here, but I think i can upload it to the maps area too, But i would prefer a one on one, so I know what im getting..ya know? Anyways..thanks a bunch..and take care.
Thank you..I will give it a try, however, I am not skilled with these editors. Do you know of anyone on these forums that is capable of adding the start? I put the map on this post. Also, thanks again for responding.
Thank you so much for responding. I am going to open the editor now and see if i can find what you are talking about. I would parrot my earlier reply, which is... Do you know anyone that can place the startpoint on there for me, and just email it to the email address?I would be so grateful!
again, thank you for caring enough to reply.
The nibbitz site associated with OMAP, has a virus on it..( norton blocked it thank god) I would suggest anyone with the same problem, avoid that site, and go to the Blizzard forum)..just FYI

You don't need osmap to fix the problem as the map itself can be opened. Osmap is just an unprotector that fixes maps that you can't open in scmdraft2 due to compression/protection created by other programs like tinymap.
So, were you able to just alter that one setting in the map file using scmdraft2 and did it work?
No , actually when I opened the SC editor from the game start, and then opened my map, it deleted all of the start points, so I just closed it. I seriously need someone with skills, and the right programs to just take my map and add it. I don't know what I can do in return, but I am a very serious music producer, so maybe I can do something audio related in exchange?
There are no words to describe the boundless gratuity, for which you have so generously given. I am grateful beyond measure. There are no words. You are my friend for life. If I can do anything for you, and it is within my power, you only need ask. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I mean that in all seriousness and sincerity! on starcraft Broodwar my name is Oijio. add me and when you come online tell me your the guy that made magma correct. THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH YO!

Probably protected. Google "Starcraft OSMAP" to unprotect any map.
I didn't test this, but it should work:
1. Open the map in scmdraft2
2. Scenario (at the top of the screen) -> Map Description
3. Change the "Owner" of Player 1 to "Human" instead of "Unused". Unused slots are not used by SC.
4. Save and test.

I'm not sure if that was what meant. Please check the attachement.
