yea some pretty good points made, ill continue my work :) altho im not as motivated as i originally was. plus the whole WoL/HotS mixup probably isnt gona go so well.
what do u guys thing about that? because there are players that play only ladder/melee, then u got ur strictly customs ppl, and ur more versatile players that just do whatever the mood directs. are the players that dont play so much melee even gona care to get HotS? honestly why get HotS when u alrady got all the customs u love u to play. or are they gona have shared custom lobbies between WoL-HotS?
basically, is this "expansion" (i put it in quotes cuz from what i understand its an entirely different game) going to split up the SC2 community making it even more difficult to create full lobby games? also making it difficult to decide which SC2 version to create on?
im learning editor but now im worried that even if i make a really good map, nobody will play it because nobody knows it exists.
yea i could show it to friends of my own and maby they could tell some people if its good enough. It just seems that most SC2 players dont look further than "top played" and the ammount of plays thoes games have are RIDICULOUS because they came out on like day 1, making them impossible to pass... even tho alot of thoes games kinda suck (in comparison to what could be getting played).
yea i might make a couple maps for me and friends but is this a realistic reason for quitting editor?
is there like an underground group of ppl that actuly play a wide variaty of games?
does anyone know if "top played" is alltime or just like a reflection of the past 7 days or what?
i really do enjoy creating maps, and im not looking for for like a huge reward, but to create a map and it get less play time than it takes to make it is kinda demoralizing.
had a comment on that video regarding my problem (heros not gaining exp) helped alot thx. :)
@deadzergling, yea im gettin the hang of things, i started about a week ago knowing nothing. ive completed the entire tutorial section on the blizz website which gave me a strong basic understanding. ive already moved into customizing things like actors, effects, behaviors, abilities n all that good stuff, through ALOT of trial n error, just trying to get desired effects. pretty much like playing a very complicated game of create then connect the dots if u know what i mean.
THANKS a bunch guys for getting back to me, i was loosing faith in the site here lol
ok so im trying to make a hero based game, the only problem im having is creating the heros (pretty much hardest part)
all i need is basically the dota character outline with ability to lvl up n all that good stuff. so far i havent been able to figure it out
and ive spent like 2 days trying and cant find some 1 to point me where i need to go to learn. if some 1 could do that
EXCELENT thx. but if not then im just looking to see if i could find an unlocked map that has heros already made where i can just
modify everything to what i need.
PLEASE HELP
ok maby this will help me if some 1 can just answer this 1 question. i notice that blizz has "TestHero" already in the editor
i was wondering if i can just duplicate that multiple times and completely customize the variations for each hero im trying to create (abilities,
exp needed, model, ect...)
Hey guys, i got some questions that id like to ask (data related) and was wondering i could have like 5-10 mins of some 1's time to skype them out or just chat ingame about it. its mostly questions on getting a character to lvl up n stuff but i believe i have most of it figured out just need some help on a few minor details. Thanks in advanced, and if u would just hit me up ingame n leme know how u wana go about helping that would be great!
Hay im new to the site, been using editor for about a week or so, ima novice Cpp programmer, and know nothing about XML sadley. ive learnt quite a bit already, i just dont have a clue about file importing into the editor n what not, dono if its hard or not just havent tried yet. did alot of work with SC1 editor.
Strengths:
-ability customization (through basic sound/actor/effect manipulation)
-very clean looking terraining & map layout
-work pretty fast with fair amount of free time (20 hrs per week, give or take)
-fast learning skills, and great comprehension
-fair basic trigger work
Weaknesses
-new to the editor (vocab or certain aspects may leave me stumped)
-not really trying to get to far into XML (AI, UI, and modeling arnt my thing)
-only fair basic trigger work
i really wana join a more active group that has bolth experianced and "noobish" ppls
feel free to contact me through PM or ingame PM THX!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys!
Im new to the whole SC2 editor deal, I was a master with SC1 editor and ive recently jumped into SC2 editor with full intention of being among the best.
from the looks of things ima a bit behind lol. Been learning relentlessly for about a week now, might not sound like much but im a novice Cpp programmer and in comparison most of this is seemingly cake. Im so glad i just found this site because ive been blindly playing with the editor figuring things out.
im not entirely sure which aspects im gona tackle first so some suggestions would be great. ive got a pretty basic handle on everything from terrain to very basic work with actors (pretty much just whats in the tutorials on the blizz website).
im currently working on creating a map ima call "SC Gladiator",(if you remember gladiators from WC3 u got a general idea). ive got some pretty unique hero ideas so hopefully we can all enjoy it soon :) and maby see some of thoes ideas influence other creators.
