The Galaxy Editor is not out yet however it is still possible to start working on maps. I will show you different projects that have already been started by the Mapster community.
Terrain
This is an important area and so far we've been stuck. The irc ([[irc://irc.freenode.net/sc2mapster | irc.freenode.net at #SC2Mapster]]) has been pretty active last hours, everyone working to crack the terrain format. Corosus, Corbo, Grum, Sholdak and others managed to start getting results. I'm pretty sure it will be landed soon with MilkyWayEdit.
Model Animation by NiNtoxicated01
NiNtoxicated01 has been working really hard on model animations. He discovered that they share many things with the MD5 (Doom 3) models. Thanks to that he managed to fix many of the bind poses especially the Zealot one.
Polygon count of various models has been posted by HeliosDoubleSix
- BattleCruiser: 3240
- Medivac: 2034
- Ghost: 1532
Lapin's Galaxy Syntax Validator by Lapin
The version 1.0 of the syntax validator is out. It enables type checking and various improvements. This tool is extremly useful when it comes to edit the Galaxy files. David Cramer from Nibbits made a web service for the validator which is really handy.
Galaxy Editor: creating your own outer space - there can't be a better feature. When is its release planned on?
Out of hand I will ask writers to do my finance homework for me online as soon as it appears!
AWESOME HEIGHTMAP WAS AWESOME.
I insta <3'd Grum when he posted his first output and ran into max to try it out :P
