SC2Mapster

I know that map transitioning is currently not a feature on battle.net. But it is if you don't play through battle.net. If you drag and drop your map on the SC2 shortcut you can play the game without logging in. And by placing all maps in the correct folders in the SC2 install path (not in the documents folder like its set up to as default)So my question is, would it be possible to make an online map that loads saved information from other maps?

For example, say you're playing an RPG offline. You level up a character a few levels and gather some loot. Would it be possible to quit/save the inventory in a bank, log onto battle.net, create a game with a map thats published on battle.net and load the bank from an offline map? This could allow players to trade items and it could create a quazy city instance. Hell, for that matter, couldn't you create online dungeon instances?

I'm not sure. Banks are simple text files saved to your computer. But when you play online, do banks get saved to your account? I think not. So in that case, it should be possible to do as long as you use 1 computer. Unless, of course, online games save banks to a different location or on a cloud somewhere.

Yeah I just tested this. The online bank and the offline bank are saved in different locations. Simply moving them back and forth works fine.

Now all I I'd have to do is make a third party app that could auto move the files back and forth. It could be like a pre-loader program that needs to be run before and after and all it does is move the bank file back and forth. Would be kinda neat.
