[xlph]

once i finish my app for the droid, i will remake the series. my app is going into beta testing this weekend; so expect new videos by the end of the month. and once i put my app out be sure to get it =)

[xlph]

Shall I make a new series from the ground up since these are so dated?

[rstysmms]

@xlph I want to get a good sunken D going for SC2. The one that exists is completely bugged out such that it crashes once you get a few rounds into the game. I tried loading the map into sc2 editor, but couldn't really find much beyond where the start points were - i.e. when do units come, why the crash happened, etc etc. Please help! Sunken D is a worthy if forgotten cause!

[tossisen]

@xlph I made a map, but it won't allow me to have spectators, any idea how to make that possible? I very much appreciate your help:)

[inSpeKKter]

@xlph Yes

[fire989Gaming]

@xlph please yes

[N1ch0las68]

@xlph Yes please

[logan500]

Does every game come with a map editor?

[delaney0017]

[zxmadness]

how do u delete stuff?

[DFProductionsTM]

@zxmadness If you accidently put the wrong unit that you didn't want to put on your map hold crtl and press z. Or you can press space, click on the unit and press delete on your keyboard.

[AQWxskullkruncher13x]

i bought starcraft downloaded it and cant find map editor some1 help!

[SniperBiscuit]

@AQWxskullkruncher13x

The map editor is an external software, (It doesn't come with the game) so you'll have to find it yoursef..

[khav99]

@SniperBiscuit that sir is an incorrect statement the executable is located in the game folder

[Gamerportalconsole]

thank you! i found everything else out on my own just by experimenting but this put the finishing touches :d im now ready to make a map :D

[OpertionOfMinecraft]

Ty so so so much i was good at the original starcraft editor then the warcraft 3 one i was stumped. then with starcraft 2 i learnt the basics forget them now you are like the Awesome! tutor I've been looking for Ty so much

[xlph]

@OpertionOfMinecraft you're very welcome! Thank you for the positive feedbaack!

[fralexxelarf]

@nishashi1 I hope that it is, cause I got really good wc3 map making, but now it's so outdated so if it's the same I didn't learn everything unnecessarily(in vain?). :)

[khav99]

@fralexxelarf they are very similar SC, wc3 and SC2 just afew additional features



[fralexxelarf]

@khav99 ok ty

[makuta101937]

how do i make a timer on the screen for players to see the how long till next wave ect.???? i got the timer up but it wont start

[Nishashi1]

Thing looks like a copy of wc3 editor... I guess thats reasonable since Blizzard made both games...

[fukmenw]

thanks a million. i have a big project ahead of me on this and gotta start learning everything right away.

[Terminatorfy]

The editor is in the sc2 folder

[DoeJopz]

how do you get the sc2 map editor??

[GKBlaze100]

thanks man .

[xlph]

@GKBlaze100 no prob

[SweatersDotCom]

I can't hear what you're saying unless I turn my volume way up, and if I turn my volume way up, the editor sound effects nearly blow out my speakers

[Cutewhineyboy]

HELP!!

Simple question. How to change the damage and numbers of damages (like zealot attacks 2 so even if damage is 11, it's total 22.)

and how to change the upgrade attack damage and shield numbers ? (Ex. when upgraded once the armor and damage increases by 1 but I want it to increase by 2 or 3.) Finally the attack speed and movement speed.

I bet these are very easy questions because all I would have to do is change the numbers but I can't find where to change it.

[Khorask]

thankyou sir ;)

[gork105]

were can i get this editor?

[MattBaumann777]

How do you delete things from your map?

[davivmcd]

The problem isn't that he's quiet, it's that he's quiet and his system's sounds are loud as hell.

[JDivinorumVideo]

How do you link your map to your mod?

[blockin423]

[DimensionGamingDG]

YES... Just what he said underneath me... How do you remove minerals and units cuz i messed up and it took 2 hours for mine... please respond anyone

[aabaz202]

@DimensionGamingDG try ctrl+z (undo) or make sure your layer is on "unit", and click on the unit you want to delete and press delete. Make sure you clear anything you selected by pressing space

:)

[eXwOnStarcraft]

Good job man, this looked very rehearsed and clean. Very educational!

[ChrisTripp]

Thanks so much man. I spent a lot of time making a fun map vs 3 different AI's but I couldn't figure out how to make them hostile. As soon as I started the test it would say 'Victory!' lol Thanks again man.

[xlph]

@ChrisTripp No prob! Thanks for the positive feedback

[puut4991]

[ikaros235]

Why can't I "Test Document" it?

a window pops up saying

"Error: Unable to create directory 'C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Maps\Test/' System Error: Access is denied."

then I try to create a folder with "Map" then inside it "Test"

after that I tried to "Test Document" it again a windows pops up saying

Error: Unable to save test document to 'C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Maps\Test/EditorTest.SC2Map­'

please guys, can somebody help me?

[xlph]

@ikaros235 It appears that you just don't have access. Run as administrator, and if u cant, that means you don't have permission, and u need to talk to whoever is in charge of the pc you use

[Rfl4222]

[Tropicsca]

[xlph]

@Tropicsca Not that I'm aware of; Although I haven't looked. Try looking online; they are supposed to have a wiki or some sort of website with info. Also, check out OneTwoSC's channel, he does more in-depth guides.

Help. tnx tnx

[McDux0r]

Can't hear shit, turn up the volume on your vid instead of asking people to raise their volume to compensate for yours, that's just weak.

[ThemanonlyknownasTom]

How do I get that the Barracks and Factorys to build classic units (example. Golaith, Firebat,Wraith) instead of those sucky news ones. The editor is nothing like the WC3 Editor! It should be!

[samsonyay1]

how does te data work

[Blaze380]

hey um where do i downlaod the Map editor? can you please PM the link anyone?

[xlph]

@Blaze380 It comes with the game. All the information comes with SC2, so even if you had the editor, you couldnt do anything. You NEED sc2. Just go into your starcraft2 folder and ull find it there.

[korn2disturbed]

@xlph Oh thats how to find it thanks!

[TatsujinSan]

@xlph I have no idea WHY but in my editor where you have your list of objects (units, doodads) none appear for me!! >:O Where are my model files?

I use iMac.

[MushroomCraftP]

@xlph hey is there a way to decrease the graphics in the editor? I.E. lower it to medium.

[Glassface477]

thx for vid

[xlph]

@Glassface477 np!

[Latowl]

Why is everyone complaining on the audio? Just turn it up yourself looool oO

[xlph]

@Latowl omfg THANK YOU! Finally someone that isnt retarded!

[Capeau]

@xlph

although i agree its not verry smart of you to call yr viewers retarded because they complain about the audio, which could be a bit louder yes.

[aaaagk]

@Latowl Its all those people using windows XP with no speakers

[aiw21]

@Latowl I have my volume at max and the youtube volume at max and he's still hard to hear. xD

[TheVarine]

@Latowl Speakers can't bring it up past their maximum. Which still isn't very loud. I have to use an audio amplifier.

[bushmanxxxxx]

@Latowl Headset maxxed, Youtube maxxed, Computer volume Maxxed, and i can still barely hear, thats why,

[Twayblade007]

@Latowl I know the audio really isn't that bad

[rstfanbot679]

7 people are dominion

[gamejestor]

@xlph where do you save your maps that you made cuz i've made a couple and i'd like to know plz :D

[blackwolf9710]

[JP6580]

@blackwolf9710 Applications or Files. Just find it there. I found mine in the Starcraft 2 file

[ORCA4312]

@blackwolf9710 It should be in your start menu under Programs -> starcraft II

[NGT87]

[gameoflordfuckerhalo]

Hey, when I play against computer on my map they won't gather anything.

Any help?

[Salsa2o7]

@zoom561 HAHAHA its true

[ScreamandPanic]

Nice video helped alot for basic starting would love to see more. Might want to turn your voice volume up a bit though when you started placing things on map editor i thought it was going to blow my speakers lol.

[ShadeCoil]

Thanks for this vid, i couldn't figure out how to rotate the camera for the life of me Lol.

[markiis7]

How do you change the amount of Minerals in a Mineral field?

[Azke94]

Hey, i got a question for you.

How do you make a star location without making a "command center" building?

[LEADER0FY0U]

this works the same as on windows XP?

[DarkChaos109]

For so long I've been looking for the answer to this, but what is the directory to SAVE your maps to play with a friend or something? and what file extention do you need?

[xlph]

@DarkChaos109 whaat? you publish the map and you play it there. You cant play off the file you save. It's not SC1. File -> publish = profit.

[ORCA4312]

@xlph Yeah, Blizzard made it HARDER to play your own maps. That's 'progress' for you.

Profit? My ass.

[xlph]

@ORCA4312 What are you talking about? Profit means success. Plug in the word (like a algebraic variable) and then it makes sense. I'm not saying blizz made it any easier.

[francoishaha]

i wondering how to remove (delete) an object without undo thing...

thanks , very usefull tutorial :)

[ZaZzinator]

@francoishaha Select the object and hit Delete.

[KingBonacci]

[sarle27]

[SC2ZTec]

if you make another video can u go over landscape construction. u know basic things; ramps, high ground for bases, grass/trees, and how to cut map off to create abyss. Mainly i plan to make cool basic maps to play with friends and maybe publish

[CS13Spalding13]

Hey dude Thanks for this Video most ppl have a 10 min video explain all of this thanks a lot you kinda got a mono-tone voice so it was easy to hear. lol

[xxBRossxx]

can anyone tell me how to set it as a two player map? I can only play one player even though I have two starting points and my player properties have two players set

[xlph]

@xxBRossxx Make sure you select the correct game mode your map was saved on, melee or custom, etc.

[RapTerrA]

MANY OF US ARE JUST AVERAGE PC GAMERS, WE KNOW SIMPLE THINGS LIKE HOW TO BUILD A CUSTOM PC, BUT YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN LIKE WE DONT KNOW ANYTHING, PLEASE HELP!!

ALL I WANT TO KNOW AND CANT FIND THE ANSWER ANYWHERE IS, HOW DO I MAKE THE ENEMY ON MY MAP DO SOMETHING? THEY JUST STAND THERE AND DO NOTHING AND I SET THEM TO COMPUTER IN PLAYER PROPERTIES BUT THEY STILL WONT DO ANYTHING! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP & I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR 10X.

ALSO HOW DO I DELETE THINGS THAT I PUT EARLIER ON THE MAP?

HELP!

[Nebel305]

@RapTerrA Dude... you don't have to scream xD

[RapTerrA]

@Nebel305 I dont have a mic so how would u even know im screaming??? I grew up with the internet and typing in caps doesnt mean your screaming ha ha ha. your a very angry jealous person arent you?

You have nothing better to do but be all alone in mummy house, and be angry at yourself so you take it out on others to make yourself feel special, your not special, get out of the house and get a life!

Your comments are pointless, No one cares or needs to know about your opinion. HANG YOURSELF PLEASE

[Nebel305]

@RapTerrA <3

[xlph]

@RapTerrA imo caps really does mean screaming, but to delete something, highlight it and hit the "del" key. Make sure you have gas and minerals on your map, and make sure you assigned the computers correctly (not player 15)

[thespacecowboy420]

SPEAK UP!

[jlarry1]

It takes forever to open/scan files on my computer, it seems to scan my entire disk. Is this normal. I hate waiting 5-10mins just to switch between custom maps

[TheTTGL]

sorry for the dumb question, but where do you get/find the galaxy editor

[DCBloodHound]

@TheTTGL  It comes with SCII,just go to star>Programs>SC2>SC2MapEditor­.

[xlph]

@TheTTGL In the SC2 install folder.

[jacob22jacob11]

hot-news org website has a complete Starcraft 2 Mastery Guide , it helped me alot #OMG

[angry8pe]

I'm wondering why my map wont play as Melee... I have 2 start locations and the p1 and p1 teams set as enemies but it always publishes as a custom map.... grrr also the minerals i place wont let workers mine them. wtf!!!!

[Deathstalker911]

WHAT I CANT HEAR U

[AKD4000]

@Deathstalker911 Turn up your volume.

[kizzle12344]

the map wouldent necessarily be over instead of hiting score screen just click keep playing or back to game w/e it says and itll put you back in that map...and thats basicly so you can run around look at your map and what things are going to look like without haveing to really worry about pesky ai's

[skinninator]

[weirdLunatic07]

Hey i got a question...how do i add an edited map so i can play it with my friends or even share it online? pls reply
