Introduction to Editing Part 1 (Starcraft 2 Editor Tutorial)

[delaney0017]

hey how to you get your map on the top left to be like that?

[shayoko6]

hello. im trying to make a simple melle fast map. i found after after much fustration you can stack minerals by holding shift. got the teams set up and everything .but the only problem is the start location. when i run the test map program the game starts with my base in a different spot.do you know how to have your starting base start directly next to your minerals?(im not doing custume tho its user select melle) any advice would id be thankful for(sorry for spelling)

[Cutewhineyboy]

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 ? Finally the attack speed.

[MinecraftDuckHuntCB]

where do i download this...

[DraconWaffle]

@MinecraftDuckHuntCB It comes with Starcraft 2. If you're using windows, just search for it in the Start menu.

[kingmado007]

Thanks for the tutorials that you have made. They are all so awesome and now i am sure of making a SC2 map. Thanks man. Do you play starcraft??? Or just the editor? Cos your preettty good at it.

[junker845]

youre an amazing teacher, thanks for the help with the little hang ups when getting started. :-)

[1xfosty]

i have decided 2 make der reise from nazi zombies :)

[LastCP]

This looks very... very similair to the FT World Editor... I was just watching this to see the differences between the 2 editors... but if someone watched this and used an FT World Editor they'd be able to follow along almost perfectly.

Theres a few differences in the UI =p

[love2punk]

this is much harder than using starcraft 1's editor!

[TheHolySpaezz]

i used StarEdit and StarForge to make my Sc1 maps, are there any softwares out yet to make sc2 maps? like color text, stacking etc..

[100grapes]

@TheHolySpaezz I know you can do all that with starcraft 2's Galaxy editor, which is the one that comes with the game.

[DEVIN49785]

i cant find sc2 editor in my documents, hmm

[jes9044]

@DEVIN49785 if you got a pc.goto start and all programs. then find starcraft2, then open it.

now click on starcraft 2 map editer.

how do u know test map editor with the new kind of map editor? help>\?

[DominoVlog]

I've got two questions i can't figure out.

Is there a markertool, or like a "hand tool"? A tool to use just to grab things you places, say if you want to move a mineral patch. Can't figure out how to!

Also; how do you create space? Like the background on maps like scrap station or delta squadron?

[stomachlicker]

When i have a unit selected i cant (using the mouse) deselect it then circle it. Usually right click on the mouse but it doesnt work for me

[Terrorble4]

Ok i made a lot of wc3 maps but this editor is way to confusing, i gonna watch most of ur videos and i subed

[WildoTheRubberFist]

Do you cover bridges? I can't seem to get units to move across bridges.

[yossie1995]

i just don't know what to do in editor it just doesn't work i'll keep playing instead of creating

[PLlSKlN]

Good videos we need more of these for those of us who are not as familiar with the editor.

Can you do one for bridges? I've been looking everywhere but info is so rare. Basically the bridges have set footprints, when I change the angle of the bridge so that it fits into my map, the footprints dont rotate with it. I attempted to use the data menu to edit the footprints but its just beyond my comprehension atm. Any help on the matter would be great thanks.

[cbradley1391]

how do people figure stuff out like this so soon after the game came out? are these people who have been modding and useing tools like this for years all the way back to doom WADing? is someone whos new to modding and programming left at a strong disadvantage now adays when it comes to things like this?

[OneTwoSC]

@cbradley1391 I made warcraft 3 maps :D

Go ahead and learn now! The competition isn't too strong!

[TacticalSkum]

@cbradley1391 I used to doom wad and I would say no... Put a little effort into it and it will come together.

[RaphaClassic]

How can I open some of the standard melee maps like lost temple? ... I can't find the folder with these maps...

[OneTwoSC]

@RaphaClassic I'm not sure if you can without extracting them... I know you can open campaign maps though..

[mindlesstube]

Do u have a video on how to make a 1v1 map ? Do I just make 2 buildings with 6 workers and its done?

[b00m13]

Hi OneTwoSC, first off thanks for all of your great SC2 tutorial videos; they were very helpful. Having all made all of these 9+ minute videos... was obviously not easy/fast to make. On a more personal note, I've been trying for 3 days and still failed at making the comp ally up with each other; they keep killing each other off every test run I play, so if you know how to make 2 AI teams ally up, please teach me T_T

Much appreciated for any help, thanks ^_^

[OneTwoSC]

@b00m13 Use triggers and do player - set alliance.

[b00m13]

@OneTwoSC Hahaha, omg it works now T_T

Thank you so much! Hehe, so much fun watching them fun into a bottleneck and be blown away by siege tanks... feels like the Spartans in 300 ^_^

ah, this you definitely know but I... couldn't edit the set starting resources (it's in gray text and says the usual default 50), how do you edit it? Sorry for asking so many newb questions, but again thanks so much for helping make my AI enemies ally up! It's so much fun now ^_^

[OneTwoSC]

@b00m13 player - modify player property (action)

[b00m13]

@OneTwoSC

*gives light punch on your shoulder*

hah, thanks again man, so many of the things I've needed were mostly on the Triggers tab, and you're the one that showed me it, thanks man!

[sharpezor]

This is such an amazing tutorial video. You go into the little details and also the big stuff. You're a great teacher. Thank you.

[OneTwoSC]

@sharpezor np!

[TehNetherlands]

Thank you! I found this to be very useful.

[ZengaGuitar]

I can't set the starting resources....

[MrRapstars]

Can you teach how to make just a normal map? like where we need to get resources and all and kill the other guys units?

[OneTwoSC]

@MrRapstars You can open campaign maps and look how they did it for the base maps... or convert a map from sc1 and it'll do it too.

[MAXIMUSMISCHIEF]

@OneTwoSC how do you convert a map from sc 1?

[OneTwoSC]

@MAXIMUSMISCHIEF File->Convert Legacy map.

[MAXIMUSMISCHIEF]

@OneTwoSC hm i just tried it, its a good idea but it doesnt seem to work worth a piss.

maybe you could point us in the direction of some melee map tutorials?

[xXSauvageXx]

Hello "OneTwoSC" and everybody I was wondering if it's possible to remove custom made maps from my in-game Starcraft II games library. Please respond to me as soon as possible thanks!

[OneTwoSC]

@xXSauvageXx What is your 'ingame starcraft II games library' ? As far as I'm concerned, we don't have one... we just browse the Bnet list of published maps.

[xXSauvageXx]

@OneTwoSC My in-game Starcraft II library is the place where you go on "Create game" and there's a list of games. But I accidently downloaded one custom made map and don't know how to delete it. :P

[jeverbever]

This was helpfull :3

[Ryguy9eXtreme]

When i go into map variants i cant seem to see Other, i only see melee, coop vs ai and custom... any suggestions?

[OneTwoSC]

@Ryguy9eXtreme Use Custom, they removed Other

[SingleTap]

I have a problem I am making a game were all the players are on one team but when I go to click the option to have only one team it says either 2 team or custom teams. Any suggestions? you show this at about 8:16

[OneTwoSC]

@SingleTap Just set Teams to Custom Teams in the game variant and locked checked. Then for Custom Teams, just put everyone as Team 1 [1]. I think that's what I did for infection and it worked. Although, I always set alliances in triggers as a backup.

[treadst0ne]

Good stuff. Thanks!

[PolygonreVue]

Very informative and educational, I'm impressed - gg! :D

[OneTwoSC]

@PolygonreVue thanks!

[Kainmuth]

Thanks a lot!

[Eddymulan]

Very nice and helpful tutorial! You explain yourself very good!
