Okay first off, I posted this in the SC2 team recruiting section or what ever.. with that said....
Hi, I just recently purchased Starcraft 2 and took a look at the editor and all I can say is WOW. I knew what i was doing on the old starcraft editor but this one is to complex for me to learn over night ;) sooo little by little i have been exploring the editor and trying to figure out alot of it on my own.. So far I have been working on terrain for a Europe Diplomacy map. I dont know if anyone has posted a europe diplo map (im sure that been tons of posts) but anyway....
This is what I have done so far.
I havent even begun working on the northern portion of the mp and current regions I am working on now is France and Turkey, I have spent a pretty good ammount of time on every region and tried to blend the different layers of terrian together... So far I think it has turned out pretty nice. Anyway I am looking for anyone who is pretty experienced with triggers and custum units. Teaching me how to do it is great, and yes ive read a couple of the tutorals online -.-
Anyway if anyone is interested, I will take all the help I can get.
Too small for diplo. Need more room to build on. Also, my map has several different strategic points for each country, making it more difficult to take said country, rather then the old Diplo of just massing one unit and you're in.
Well soo far its only a portion of the map, I havnt done anyhting north of france.. I still have plenty of room , and i havnet added in rivers yet, but i was thinken about shrinken the units to make the map seem bigger and that once units go onto the mountaisn their speed greatly decreases, idk ive been thinken of alot of ideas on this map, and im tryen to make the most realistic type europe terrain out thier...
Thank you sir, I usually spend at least an hour or 2 on the map everyday soo ive been makening steady progress... I will keep everyone updated with pics and the status of the map, but if anyone is interested in joinen up, i will take all the help i cn get or if anyone has any ideas feel free to share them!
Well gl bro. Mine obviously has some terrain tweaking, as everything isnt exact, nor completely to scale. However, it is the max map size, and I will work to make it more visually appealing over the course of its run...just want to get it out there.
Ahhh yes, and for anyone that has questions i am set on the 256 by 256 map scale, i just havent posted the "entire" map yes only the portions i have done sooo it will also include everything north of germany.
So far ideas i have for teh map
-Choose "ANY" European country
-Mountains, and desert causes units to travel at a slower rate
-Units (I dont know how small you can shrink a unit but i would like them to be pretty small so the map makes itself look bigger)
-Country Specials (I would like every country to have thier own specials but this is not a top priority.)
thank you :) yes this map is well under way, triggers are being put into place, map terrain and doodads are all placed and im placen the cities. We have alot of good ideas for the map, but if anyone else has any ideas feel free to post.
One idea i had was players can choose any nation in europe set in ww2 era. playable nations. Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, UK, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslovia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Finland, Sweden, norway, Russia, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Lexumberg, Nether lands, Belguim, and Egypt.
right now, its me and my partner worken on it. Im still learnen triggers and stuff, but if thier is something we are both not sure about when it comes to triggers we will definetly be posting lol, right now we are still a ways away, if you guys wanna help out for the beta or what not, your more than welcome.
We are also not trying to rush the project. We want a nice and legit diplo and not some half ass piece of work lol. sooo the completion of it is still going to take time. As of right now, I had the idea to make national flags and they would be displayed on the city to determine who has what or what not, but I need the modified flags. If anyone wants to do that job your more than welcome too just let me know, Btw we are usen 1939 Europe Countries.
Those actually look really good, the only problem is that every european nation during 1939 is a playable faction sooo we we would need flags for finland, norway, spain, ect.... thanks for keeping a lookout tho ;)
Im sure they can be found and used. In fact, you could probably make custom decals from flags and just place them on the flags. Shouldnt be too hard if you know your way around photoshop and the import editor. And if you need any help testing just add me in game, DocM.811
We are still working on the project and we are being very carful with the balance and how the map will be played out. We dont want to rush anyhting and its going to be a little longer before the map will be in its beta stage. I will keep you guys up to date
