I asked around and found out that most did not know about it so I decide to make news of it. It is a nifty tool that allows you to make a starcraft map out of any bitmap file. Remember that article Mazor once wrote about maps with erotic backgrounds?

Well those maps were made with this tool.
Vanguard from » battleforums.com is the creator of this program and released it a year ago. You can check his post by clicking on the above link but I have quoted him below.BMP2SCM. This program, like its name, converts BMP's to the TILE data in a starcraft scenario. First you load a 128x128 map, then you load a picture, then you choose a tile # for each color in the picture, and after all that you press "convert", then "save". You can get the tile number with StarForge or GUEdit or something like that. This program is not for uber-n00bs.
It'll work with the BMP, GIF, and JPEG file types. The map can be either SCM or SCX. It has to be 128x128, though. I recommend lowering the color depth of the image (i.e. use less colors in the picture). You have to set a tile for every single color found on the image. It uses a different palette for every color, so some people complain that they have 5000 colors in the list.You can download the map here, and I will try to find his whole collection. If you have them PM me.

Thanks to
SoL.Origin for reminding me and for his nice post at Tl.net.As some of you seem to have had problems, I went and did a little more research. I found and uploaded the last version of the program BMP2SCM 1.1 (2313 CET.) So if you downloaded the old version try the same link again and re-download. Mind you both versions work fine for me.
