Maybe it has been touched on somewhere else but I didn't find it in the search. It's not really a bug, but... do we know anything about wether or not the maps we make with the beta editor will be compatible with the final release of SC2?
I'm pretty sure the mapping community would be outraged if we couldn't. They would implement a file converter, but I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that Blizzard will continue using the .SC2map format. Not only because that's the format all of the online maps are in, but also because they're not going to change the format when it's already labeled for release.
Should work if you have the original map (and if we guess protection is not in on 2nd beta phase) - they would require to change the whole format, where is no reason for it (other than protection) - but locally "non-protected" maps should still work.
it would be crazy, working in a new secret format in the middle of the summer and so near to the official release, with no time for testing, trashing the work done till now (by devs not yours)... don't worry about it
Yeah there is no way that they gave us the tool just to test out. Blizzard wanted us to create some maps so when the game releases its not just the RTS. If they were planning on us starting over, I am pretty sure they would of taken the editor when the beta closed. They even told us we still had access to the editor while beta was closed. That would be a super dick move to do all of that and then make it so we can’t play the maps lol
( Protected maps will not be there… anything that was uploaded onto the server will be gone. You need it on your PC )
I dont care, I just care about netcode fix. As I heard editor optimization is weak. And maps laggs.
That creates lots of limits what kind of maps can be created. And there wont be good maps.
Wc3 was alive and is alive so long only coz of editor, mostly.

There might be a couple of bugs caused by the final release version, but all in all I don't think your work now will be in vain.
I agree with s3rius. It's going to work out fine. I doubt we'll lose all our work.
