Unfortunate 'cause I just joined and I would like to talk about my project that I've been working on. It's at the point where I can start putting it all together and make a StarCraft game out of it! But I need some tips and advice, and just generally see if anyone's interested in giving me a hand in it.
I would first understand the basics of map making before starting on making a campaign. I would advise looking at the blizzard made campaigns as a starting point.
That's what I've been trying to do. I played through the whole LoTV campaign and two of the three Nova Covert Ops campaigns, and what I've been trying to figure out is how in hell can they get these down so well that I enjoy them?
Hey man welcome. You said you need advice/help, what kind of advice/help do you need?
Do you need help with the editor? Or are you developing a fan fiction story? Sounds like the latter
Need help with certain aspects of the editor (such as how to create custom and unique character models like Zerash from SCU). The cutscene editor I found a long tutorial of, so that's covered :) But map design is what's going to get me. It's not a matter of how to use the editor, but how to design a good map that tells a part of the story along with good (and challenging) gameplay.
For the fanfic part, that's being integrated into the campaign itself. I'm working on the story right now and also editing the tech tree available for certain missions. The story is only one small part of a huge story that stretches from 2475 to the conclusion of the End War.
Made an account here. Tried to look for some advice/help elsewhere to no avail. I've been playing SC2 since before LotV went into beta stage (forgot exactly when, but it's close). I love the characters and the story that somehow, I became attached and I started to develop these ideas for some StarCraft games that are outside of the RTS genre. I also wrote the stories for a few of them so far. Along with doing all of that, I ended up creating an original character that I now intend to introduce in a custom campaign (which I know is going to be a massive undertaking) that takes place between 2501 to 2502. This project so far is named StarCaft: Viper Squadron. This will be split into four packs, each with three missions each (like how Nova Covert Ops is being released).
My original character is named James Patrick Kerrigan. Known by a handful of different honorific titles, he is best known as The Black Assassin (paying homage to his black-colored suit). Other titles include the Violet Dragon, the King of Blades, and notably by the Protoss, the Broken One. Two years younger, three inches shorter, and strikingly similar in appearance and stature to Sarah Kerrigan when she was a Terran, he lost her to the Zerg on Tarsonis, and fought tirelessly to get off of the planet, he had fallen from his graces the moment she was infested. A former shadow of himself, he wants nothing but the undisputed payment in blood for his sister's infestation, and their betrayal.
James Kerrigan exhibits the same violent tendencies, manipulative behavior, and cunning as Sarah Kerrigan. But this is also contrasted with the same goals and outcomes he shares with Jim Raynor, his only friend he has left, therefore making James Kerrigan an antihero. This is what I've intended since his creation. His character profile page which includes the story is well over 50 pages long.

I can't even chat in there :(

Would Blender work for exporting and then importing into the editor?
UPDATE: Already installed Blender from their website. Now I'm just getting familiar with the program itself so I can get to work.
