You may find that using a launcher + editing MPQ files is too complex just to make a modification. I've packaged a Hello World Map with a bat file that allows you to just launch a map and make galaxy modifications easily.

How to use it:

       
  • Download and Extract the SC2HelloWorldMap.rar
  • Edit the MapScript.galaxy file
  • Run the launch.bat
  • Enjoy the map with Starcraft 2
The trigger debugger is enabled and let you see some interesting informations.


I hope it will help you get started with map editing :)

Note: This is using Ladik MPQ Editor and Lazyloader2 underneath.

When you launch it there should be 3 AI, the debugging window should be open and the hello world appear.


Maybe you changed some of your installation files and corrupted it? I just asked few people to test and that was working for them.

Ludicrous

i just tried it and i got the same thing, no anything just shows a blank map.
