[jcjs95]

Starcraft II + Warcraft III = Every game in life

[mer345]

[guyugkuyg]

@mer345 look in the starcraft 2 folder...

[LucvdMortel]

@mer345

The editor is a different independent program. It's in your Starcraft II map, in the program files map.

[Dom4z]

guys is there any tutorials how to make things like uberlisk? maybe som1 can reply to me

[Firebox720]

@Dom4z Ive been looking everywhere for the sc2 map editor... where is it? do you have to look under google to download it or is it hidden inside the actual game?

[sniper321w]

is the map editor in SC2 built into it or do you have to download it like warcraft

[101gaarafan]

@sniper321w i'm not sure could u let me know if you get a response?

[XKillerBoy]

@sniper321w

It's included like in Warcraft 3...

[lol1324lol]

icefrog must get his hands on the galaxy editor and make a new Dota :)

[MrKn4rz]

[Abelhawk]

OH EM GEE, this map editor is incredible.

[PoppetNZ]

"We don't have any plans to support LAN" said VP of game design Rob Pardo.

Dude... Legendary Editor... but.... What???? You've gotta be shitting me... BOYCOTT

Thumbs up if you Boycott Until LAN Capable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaDGriZz78]

WC3 TFT will always be my ladder. This will strictly be custom for me looks amazing.

[templar333]

.....WORDS

[grantithan]

MILLION BILLION ZERG

[aznargo]

DESERT STRIKE!!!!!

[KnockUrBack]

know what i just noticed?

When he talks about dota, he pulls out this sentence soon: "Lets be clear on this: This is an M.... fan made game!"

Did he try to say miserable? ;O

[astrickmonkey]

UBRALISK!

[ggGearsLegend]

and for you who said there is now hero i have the beta editor and you can make heroes and also you can make an inventory they have attributes if you want can add custom attributes if you want i have had a lot of fun with this editor i made a full turret defense game in only 5 day it has 50 waves and what i have is just the beta editor

[Battleschnodder]

with that tool, they will do terrible, terrible damage.

[g0rbak]

UNITS INVENTORY? will this be added to starcraft 2? i want inventory to make true rpg in sc2

[IMMORTALMERCENARIE]

omg i just drooled a bucket full

[Pkfohman]

I think i just came *looks down* ya i just fucking came

[fishfishfish912]

will you need to now how to mod to do this

[LoneJackel]

@fishfishfish912 if you listened to the video he said "You don't need to be an expert to do this, but you need to know how to use the editor"

[fishfishfish912]

@LoneJackel yes i heard that i may have just worded that wrong will it be hard to do this or can you just push a button or type in a simple code is what i was asking

[LoneJackel]

@fishfishfish912 just push buttons, it's pretty complex but after a while it gets easier and easier

[Flamesofthunder]

I miss the modding less people are playing wc3

I wish more people would play parasite

[maxbie123]

how do you open the editor? do you have to download it or did it come with the patches?

[mudman91878]

@maxbie123 It was included in one of the patches. Just go to the starcraft II beta folder, open it and there it is.

[mafiaman188]

need...a.....beta.....key.....­

[ThreeLeggedMongoose]

starcraft ghost!

[Barrelrollify]

Must... Buy... When... Released...

[ode4951]

and some people wanted a WoS World of Starcraft but that would ruin the game like wow did cause blizz cant make any good warcraft strategy games anymore cause all of warcraft lore is now in WoW but now that fans are able to make WoS its going to be better cause its fan made and has its own story

[Azothorass]

I really hope they are going to release an inventory system though.

Because it's kinda hard to make a balanced hero system if items doesn't exist.

For example, the ability to change the commander picture against an inventory with... Let's say 6-10 slots.

[Metalrawrr]

Blizzard will make much money on this, so smart. God damn..

I know so many who bought warcraft 3 to play DotA. You can just imagine what will happen now..

[infernalcross]

yawn

[Strotkyle]

do i sense a "world of starcraft" coming on???

[zomgscissors]

Blizz too lazy to make their own games so we gotta make them XD

[SigmaStarcraft]

Fucking DoTA FAGGOTS!

[ShadowFlare]

Starcraft 2 will gain near immortality with this tool

[Tintelol]

holy mother - father -grandma & grandpa fucking shit ... i smeel it.....sc2 funmaps....will be..... epic win multiplied with 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999

[SupComRaiden2]

Just as an FYI Demigod is the game that copies DOTA .

[Robmeisterflex]

Completly speechless.. cant belive how awesome Blizzard are to their fans

[jc1daddy2]

Sick

[WhiteShield0101]

god i loved those tower defense games. really REALLY REALLY looking forward to seeing how they appear in SC2. the galaxy editor in the beta is great, and i'm really looking forward to the very rich starcraft 2 UMS scene

[RubenstineJR]

GALLIGA FTW! (if thats how you spell it lol)

[Wunterwafffen]

Starcraft Ghost returns! And you can make huge nukes (Empire Earth style) you could make Ulrezaj if you wanted to... hell, I'll bet you could make a Megaman Legends 3 with this thing! I soooooooo cannot wait for this! Ooooooooooooooohhhhhh.

[Jake2524]

My god :O

I think i just jizzed in my pants

[jkiszg]

this game better come out before 2012 (jk but srsly)

[CpuLegend]

i think they are working on this game like crazy! Go Blizzard!!

[TypicalNoobGamer]

I loved starcraft and WC3 for both their melee and custom games, but I always felt like custom games had the longest lasting value, and I just can't wait for some of the maps we will see. This is really what makes starcraft and warcraft 3 (especially warcraft 3) so amazing, above being good for their RTS aspect.

[JeffWaffles]

i get the feeling that uberlisk is OP

[hihihibadbad]

@JeffWaffles

nah, i will make a marauder that shoot nukes.

[pyroticmaniac]

World of StarCraft. :P lol

[Ostnizdasht206]

@pyroticmaniac Blizzard would make bank on that..

[cheesemuffin94]

Not all maps will require payment the user has to submit the map to blizzard first so if a user dosent want for people to have to pay for it then they don't have to submit it

[Noghori]

I love the line "Is this Starcraft Ghost?" that, despite the uberlisk, was the best part of the video to me.

[AtomicDoorknob]

Maps better be damn good and full length for any chance of me paying for them

[Yourthemanman]

fucking stupid $60 price tag and charging for maps are not making me very happy, shit like tower defense and dota is nice, but in my opinion half the reason its so good is because its free

[TheShadyElf]

THere's actually an FPS for Warcraft 3, it isn't very popular and its controls are clunky but it's decent.

[TheDaAndy]

Does anyone know how to get round those surveys... I made them, but nothing happened!

[u2ber87]

It would be great to enable importing other 3d models, textures.. for example from warcraft 3, diablo 3, and even non-Blizzard games.

Right?

[bighirst]

@u2ber87 Custom models, textures, sound etc.. will all be available options with the editor. I'm not sure how you would export a model from their other games, but custom models can be used in sc2 editor

[u2ber87]

@bighirst

Same developer similliar engines and models? Maybe.

[jdean9]

lol i'm gonna make a "2d" like platform game where you control a hydralisk

[Treekodar]

I'm getting SC2 now, and then I'll wait for a 3rd person shooter mod.

[stinkstabber62]

This is the most respectable thing I think i've ever seen a company due for its customers. The "Use Map Setting" genre is what has kept the orginal starcraft alive for more than a decade

[tube2a]

well thats why its going to be 60 bucks, id pay 100 tbh (not talking about the collectors version, just the regular)

[zero757575]

so i can make infected protoss in the editor like uberlisk? and they canceld the ghost game to get starcraft 2 better!

[thaninjaxD]

This is a Must-buy game XD

[khopcraft]

Man oh man. That is crazy good.

[MrHizha]

i cant freaking believe this, ive been a mapmaker on sc for a long time, quited a while ago.. sc editor was really disapointing so the fans made their own editors such as X and scmdraft, but i think this editor will be freaking crazy :D looking forward to be using it in sc2

[UWLDeparted]

I think a DotA in 3rd person would be awesome

[yan5116482]

@UWLDeparted

you mean like put a Dota battleground in WOW ?

[currynator]

I'm out of words... When info of sc2 came, I was ready to be disappointed with editor. I love wc3 editor for one good reason: Heroes. You can create all kinds of rpg, arena, campaign, dota-style maps with heroes. Sc has no heroes on regular game so I thought that this editor was going to be something like in sc 1 with just few extra tweaks... But this is.... Unbelievable. Make own units, own game ui, rpg style heroes, completely new games... I just started to want sc 2 very very badly.

[MrHizha]

damn what u said is so true. im so fkin sorry i did tumb down accidentaly it was suppost to be tumb up

[LPersUnanimous]

You obviously played the wrong sc games. Just because sc doesnt have a hero system premade doesnt mean in UMS games there are no heros. Hell, sc heros are even better then wc3 heros. They can level up, use intense spells, and even equip stronger items in some cases. I strongly suggest you google a starcraft map called SpellSword. Its a 1-3 player rpg, and it is godly.

[rabidweasel741]

@LPersUnanimous

You obviously played the wrong WC games. :P

The Warcraft 3 Editor could do everything you just mentioned, and five million times more, than the Starcraft Editor could ever hope to do.

[DarkGamer101]

@rabidweasel741 heh, not the sc2 editor though :P and that editor had many more years to be developed so stop acting like it's better then it just because it is and no other reason.

[rabidweasel741]

@DarkGamer101

I'm not sure I understand you. The person I commented on was claiming that the starcraft "heros" were even better than the wc3 heroes. "They can level up, use intense spells, and even equip stronger items". I merely told him that I don't know what Warcraft 3 HE played, but The WC3 Editor and the hero system in WC3 far, far outweighed Starcraft's. I made no comment on Starcraft 2's editor, it has no place in my point.

[DarkGamer101]

@rabidweasel741 heh, i know, just felt like replying and starting an argument... i love to argue :) no hard feelings were intended,

[RadGH]

@LPersUnanimous It's not that Starcraft II couldn't do awesome things, its just the way you had to do it. Warcraft 3's hero system was great for any sort of RPG games because you could make abilities and items easily and it didn't involve putting civilians on little circles that say "+1 damage" over it. Warcraft III's editor was exceptionally more powerful than Starcraft's, but Starcraft II's will be just as huge as an upgrade.

[Mech1000]

@currynator The SC2 editor has support to create hero type data for regular units. For instance you can add UI buttons to open specially created equipment or baggage windows, to hold 1 - hundreds of items, slots geared specifically for head, body, feet, rings, etc. and weapons that actually change your attack type on the unit to match that particular weapon (melee axe, ranged rifle, etc).

[TheGunMan432]

@currynator i agree. SC editor went from suckish to ur finally a fucking god in the game world

[Teet71]

@currynator You kidding? Ge sucks. You cant even copy units without shit.

[currynator]

@Teet71 You do realize I made that comment 5 months ago, before I had even tried the editor. Editor is very troublesome sometimes I admit that, but it is also quite powerful and takes some time to get used to.

[flectz]

SC2 DOTA

[SixSuper]

That's what I was thinking :)

[jordanstead2]

wow this is unbelievable. this is insane!!

[MouthofSaurons]

looks like the editor will be just as fun as the real game :)

[Replicaification]

ZOMG!!!!! epic pwnage

[GhostDrow]

LOL WIN "Is this Starcraft Ghost?"

[MarioBrosClassic]

@GhostDrow OMG I NO RITE ITS CAUSE GHOST WAS CANCELED LOL OMG LAUGH

[SacroiD]

I just can't wait for this, seriously.

[UpDaIrons5]

lol definitly gonna have to put some gears of war skins in TPS mode

[brainwasher9876]

World of Starcraft, mixed with some spine-crawling uberlisks=:D

[SmokePropaganda]

World of Starcraft would be awesome. Imagine being a Dark Templar youd be cloaked all the time. People who hate rogues would really hate this guy.

The Zerg could burrow and ambush.

one cool terran unit would be a Ghost

Nuclear Launch Detected !

[Xxaviers56]

MY minds been blown.

[DrZeldaFreak]

Well well i cant w8 to see what ice frog is gonna make in sc2 and how his dota is gonna be.

the tools seem to be much better but will the dota be better too :/

and how long will it take for him to make dota !

i cant w8 to see :)

[josaen]

icefrog didnt create dota, nor the genre of AOS, he simply updated it

[HypaSnipa]

@josaen ITS MOBA! rofl.

however he is given credit for the making of the game

[SpeedeyFreaks]

this will be the game of the year :)

[oOKlugiMasterOo]

DotA <3

[mwjscn]

@5:59

"Is this Starcraft Ghost?"

Hah, this editor seems to be a lot more advanced. Can't wait to see what people churn out!

[doomsday800]

lol no but it looks like it

[slyguy321]

theres gonna be stuff like WoW inside SC2.. this is gonna be F*cking insane...

[leetslay]

This is why we can have nice things!

[Kalitronn]

THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS!!!

-Get Smart

[fangfang00]

OMFG!!

[JusticeRetroHunter]

this shit is gansgta !

[pixartist]

OH MY GOD

[Xyonon]

0:53

"Games like Plants vs Zombies is an excellent game"

I LUV THIS GAME :D BRAIIINNSSS!!!

[Vleesball]

omg i want this tool :O

[Darkkirbykid]

ive seen the 3rd person done in warcraft, but there wasnt much you could do... But DOTA!!! Riot games need to make one for starcraft, don't know what theyd call it though. Defense of the Protoss?

[retardednazi]

There's already one in SC called Defense of the Xel'Naga. They could capitalize on that.

[MaMastoast]

The idea of DOTa was first done in the orignal Starcraft actually :)

[Promisha]

Awesome idea but I don't think tower defense needs to be sold with the map editor. Excited for the new editor still!

[iXArkXi]

it would help if they released the damn game

[MegaLith18]

ive never played starcraft but i was a big fan of wc3 editor. but this looks awesome! this is added to my chart for sure! when will this be realesed?

[Janxer2]

Estimated first half of 2010.

[Rockinintomordor]

So... in before SC2 becomes Spore 2.

[sordproducts]

Wow, I can not wait for this.

Also, I wonder what kind of drink was sponsored at Blizzcon... :D

[GodOfDeath12344]

@sordproducts im guesssing they sponsored mountain dew lol

[Lurker15]

instead of footman frenzy is marine frenzy

[painkiller9404]

Maybe they can make super mario :D:D

[Malygos0]

Mario=marine

Goomba=zergling

koopa=hydralisk

bowser=ultralisk

mushroom=stimpack

Awesome,right?

[painkiller9404]

Totally.I'd play it all day long.

And when the princess is Zeratul .. LOL

[ilikewarcraft777]

@painkiller9404 The princess is the Medic... duh.

[painkiller9404]

There won't be a medic, sadly .. ;P

[jeremy22h]

@painkiller9404 there is medic in single player so i believe you could put medics in custom maps but other than that it got replaced by the medivac.

[painkiller9404]

aaham, very well then xD

[Drahmull]

one word-potato//now seriously-great job Blizzard :O Can't wait for Starcraft 2...

[Animos02]

i want to create my units so bad

[sumfattytuna]

this games UMS is gonna be legendary

[painkiller9404]

pervert :D:D

[gamedevMike]

I wonder how much the game will cost with such an advanced editor.

[slyguy321]

OVER 9000!!!

[randomnamehere1345]

many of the things mentioned can already be done with warcraft 3 but it has some bugs and arrow keys have delay. The only thing i saw/heard that was new is that you can change the UI and mouse look, which is still awesome. Also, there are much better custom games for wc3 than ones mentioned in this video

[enpaprobertvagyok]

check the newest video..it shows more stuff!!

[Hiuaske]

WC3 sucks sci fi games rule

[randomnamehere1345]

O rly? i dont really give a fuck what you think

[kevinlei92]

um.

and this is why this map editor is going to be atleast 100 times more 1337? hello? thas what they are saying? note they did say tip of the iceberg? hello? you there? did u just like comment w/o thinking or wut? i know i do that alot and shit but hell you really should reconsider what ur saying, besides warcraft fails now, you dont see koreans or some other nation making warcraft 3 their top nation sport do u? what is going to happen is that all those maps from wc3 are gona go on sc2 cheers

[randomnamehere1345]

did i say it sucked ass? No i did not, i am

just merely saying that they havent really built that much on what they already have. I would like to see more new features added to the editor. Are you stupid, i dont see any nation making a video game a national sport dumbass. Im not saying i wont play it im just saying i would like to see more new features

[Baleur]

Korea.

You just got pwnt.

Enjoy.

[kevinlei92]

how do you play a map editor?

and also, koreans make starcraft THE national sport -__- its serial, no jokes

GG mate enjoy living under that rock of yours hope your comfortable

[randomnamehere1345]

i never said i was playing a map editor i was referring to starcraft 2 the game.

Also, it is a bit off-topic but how is a video game a sport? sounds a bit stupid to me

[sumfattytuna]

cause clearly your one living under a hardy american culture, one not open to other culture.

those in other countries think that your a dumbass, but thats besides the point

[Liar999]

this man, speaks the truth. Wiseman is wise

[leetslay]

compare it to chess

[95Blitzkrieg]

@randomnamehere1345 There isn't really much more they can add, they've given you the ability to edit just about everything, just because they havent created enough maps to satisfy you doesn't mean their editor lacks in any way.

[basher481]

actually in korea starcraft pretty much is a sport overthere, and what else do u want, if they managed to put a first person in an rts game what else do u need

[pitifulpotato]

wow with sutch guud map editor you can't get bored of this game there will be too good fanmade games :P

[dude340]

Operation CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!

[gottaluvjesus]

haha ditto

[MawickFX]

There is a God .......

This shows why blizz is one of the most successful game developers

[KippurCatArts]

Hell ya lets hit it UP!

[TerranSiegeTank]

Counter-Strike mod for starcraft 2 lol.

[sumfattytuna]

lol ghost sniper -= teh awp feet shots

[Andyoyo]

he knows a lot about wc3 custom map scene :) SC2 development in good hands
