However, In summer 2003 work was restarted on understanding the algorithm behind isometrical tile matching, after this was done the first versions of ScmDraft 2 were written and released. Due to frustration while trying to implement this work was stopped for almost a year. However a key feature, isometrical terrain, was missing. This version was updated and improved for roughly 2 years, until it was able to match staredit in terms of features and capabilities. The original mapeditor was started in december 2001, and was written in delphi. Scmdraft is the first third party mapeditor for starcraft.

The goal of this project was to allow map editing without requiring multiple programs in order to edit maps, while simultaneously providing all features possible with the map format. Scmdraft is the first and oldest third party map editor for Starcraft.
