Alex from SC:Legacy hit a thread saying to hold our horses and expect salvation when StarTools arrive. It is supposed to come with units like classic units and tools for modders. He claims Sixen had confirmed this via PM.
Now, if I may, is this true, or will we meet with disaster in waiting for something that will not happen?
Sixen, can you confirm this for all of us?

Whatever you do, wholeheartedly, moment by heartfelt moment, becomes a tool for the expression of your very soul.
Just to clear this up, sixen posted about this on a topic in the SC2mapster forums, that's why I talked about it...Not sure if it was something I should've kept my mouth shut about, but for some reason, I have a feeling starting a rumor like that is not a good idea. :S
Anyways, best idea would've been to PM him, I guess, Gna.
It's supposed to be like the WarCraft III Art Tools, which installed plugins for 3ds Max to import/export WarCraft III models. Maybe they are expanding upon that, but that's all I ever heard of it.
I have to agree with tigerija. Look at how they made the dependencies work for example. It's fine for them as they used one for melee and one for campaign. But imagine map makers who want to use the melee one and add campaign stuff, like, say, an upgrade, an ability and a unit for each race, or a specific hero. It's not made with that in mind. (That doesn't mean it was made purposely to avoid having players do this kind of thing, because, on the contrary, Blizzard encourages people to do this kind of stuff)
Thanks Progammer, yeah, I thought Startools later became Galaxy Edit, but yeah.. I may head over to the official forums to shiny a new thread there, but since the forums are region specific, maybe you guys could make one for NA/EU? I'm making one in the SEA forums.

Nah, it's better we all hear and get to discuss it. Besides, this is about the truth, and nothing but the truth so help us gawd. :D

First time I heard about it.

I still think NiN will improve his tool over time, and that some experienced guyz should join him to make tool even better than Startools.
Well, Startools would be exactly what Blizzard used to import all their models, so I'm not sure how much better you can get than that. :p
Exactly. Its made for what they did. Not for custom maps people will make.
