I've been a SC mapmaker on and off for the past 11 years.
For my time (before the most recent SC/BW editor came out, and before those silly EUD triggers) I knew almost everything about mapmaking, even though I only really finished one map which I never attempted to circulate publicly. It was a dodgeball map, and I made it without seeing MilleniumArmy's (that didn't come out long before mine), and the "engine" triggers were nothing like his (and far more complicated as he admitted himself once, not that his were complicated which he also admits). You'd have to see it (even though I havent seen it in like 7 years *sadface*). I was in a clan called (U)UnKnOwN for a while. I was Barrin(U), and I had a lot of mapmaking friends back then. It would be really cool if there was anoyne who chilled out in OpZ(U) back in the day and/or remembers me. Would be awesome to talk to ya to talk to ya :)
Now that SC2 is here I plan on making a very small number of incredibly well-thought-out maps. My SC2 name (beta phase 2 too) will probably be Barrin, but if not it will be Shmufle or Ygtul ^^
I will also be making melee maps by the way, my first one (4 players) has the frame finished I just need to put in minerals/rocks/water/textures/decorations.
Oh and I was playing WoW for a long time and I always used Curse.com to download my addons and now I'm using one of their sites again to work with SC2 tee hee. Cool stuff.
Whoa! Barrin! How you been? Loooooong time no see. I was in (U) as well, back in 2004 iirc. Haha, back when Silent, Mathrix, Cloak, SWW, and all them were around.
BoltHead and MilleniumArmy actually just joined up on this site a few days ago, :).
You must have been before my time in (U), anyways great to see veteran SC players join.
Mhmm, both of us were, :P. In fact, I believe Barrin was in the "era" prior to myself joining. Though, he didn't start fading until after I was in the clan.
Woah sweet lol. Sorry guys major epic fail on reply time >.< been busy with school/beta/mapmking/d2cuzmybromakesme/work >.< WHATS UP :D!!!
We old (U) peeps must keep in touch IMO. I found Bolt_Head's post gonna go see whats up with him :)
@sixen I totally remember seeing you in the channel! lol :D I don't think we ended up talking much but your name is very distinct (which is really a very good sign cuz I was stoned half the time) :O but WOOT lol ya I literally joined right after Silent and right before Mathrix (or vice versa can't remember) we were good friends.
@atl0s :D ya I can never really remember what time I stopped SC, it was probably about 2004 though (when WoW stole me for 5 years) :(
I can't wait to tear it up in SC2. I'm now a sophomore in college and when I look at myself back then I wasn't that good at mapmaking lol. I knew a lot, but I took forever to do anything lol; I was like OCD perfectionist. However, I've spent a lot of time with a lot of different games and I'm more than ready for the challenge and versatility of the SC2 editor. My first plan is actually going to be making somewhat unorthdox yet strangely balanced MELEE maps to begin with (maybe a really balanced 1v1 or two too :D). My goal in this is simply to master the terrain/doodad editor, cause Galaxity Editor is kinda crazy.
Ahahahaha, no doubt. And i'm a Sophomore as well, now hah.
Hop on the IRC whenever you get a chance, the three of us (Bolt, Atlos, and myself) are always on there, same with Yoshi_da_Sniper, if you can remember who that was, :P.
