Awesome! Though it didn't show up in the start menu, I'm gonna edit till I drop!

So the latest patch stated the Galaxy Editor is now available:
The StarCraft II Editor is now available!

   
• Players will now be able to begin creating trigger maps in preparation for map publishing which will be made available in an upcoming beta patch.

I wonder how or if I can acces it without a betakey, as this probably the thing I've waited the most for. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Here's a replay from me (Terran) VS Protoss. Outmicroing Zealots was easy

Well sure, if this idea is interesting enough I can put some time in making a whole theme. When making this, I had the idea of turning the original SCII style into a more dark variant. Think Archons and Dark Archons.


But as with everything, it's a waste putting time and effort into something that will not be used. So at least untill the 4th of April, this will be it.

Kevin click the following link:


http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tools/texturetools/Photoshop_Plugins_8.23.1101.1715.exe


Download that file and run the setup, run through it and make sure it shows the correct path to the folder where Photoshop is installed. Finish the setup, exit Photoshop (If you had it running) start Photoshop et voila, it should work now

This is awesome! I can fill my time with this waiting for the Galaxy Editor


I love how my new re-skinned game looks! Check it out!





On a more serious note though, WTF is this?
I used the Marine Diffuse and did exactly as you said (or apparantly not if you know this problem) do you know the solution to this?

I suppose you're both right. There's no discussion in which editor will be better. I'll start thinking of some more ideas. When it comes to mapmaking I'm usually the guy who comes up with the ideas and I love to do the terraining. Even Triggers are something I like to do. But when it comes to modeling, I think it takes too much time to get models and skins akin to the current Starcraft models.


Oh well, we'll see. I'm gonna start thinking of some cooler ideas

Can somebody host this Cache Folder on rapidshare or something? I'd like to watch replays as well as I'm quite bored playing VS AI now

After Starcraft II is released will there still be a good amount of people be playing Warcraft III? I'm asking this, since I loved making maps for Warcraft III, but I'm also excited about the Galaxy Editor. Though there is a big difference between the universes of Warcraft and Starcraft in terms of atmosphere.


I tried coming up with ideas for maps for Starcraft II, but they all seem to fit better in the Warcraft universe. Maybe it's just me needing to transition between 5 years of medieval mapmaking to sci-fi. Since I can't get my hands on the Galaxy Editor, I'm now thinking of making another Warcraft III map, but the big question is: "Will there be people left who can play it?"

What do you guys think?
