There have been many awesome things done with the Galaxy Editor and I had the idea of making a mashup video of those. If you are a good video maker and interested in this project, leave me a PM :)
Also, we've been linked on the official Starcraft Facebook: "Do you already know SC2Mapster? If the answer is "no", check out this source of amazing custom maps for StarCraft II!". This is pretty cool from them to feature mapster :)
Spell Contest Votes
The Spell Contest went extremly well, 35 entries were submitted! Since the cinematic contest votes was a disaster (40 youtube videos in a single thread is overkill) we tried another thing for this one. I've been working on a website sc2movie.com as an aggregator of all youtube videos that are posted on mapster. The website is not finished yet but it's good enough to hold the contest entries (assuming the traffic is not going to kill my server).
In order to vote, just "Like" the video. I know it requires Facebook, but so far it's the easiest solution. But don't worry better solutions will come for the next contests! The voting ends in 3 days (Monday Midnight).
M3 Plugin Animation Support by NiNToxicated
The M3 importer and exporter by NiNToxicated is getting better and better. It now supports animations! He did a cool video featuring the Starcraft units in Warcraft 3 versus the real ones. He also imported some heros who renders really great.
Starcraft Survivor Preview by GnaReffotsirk
GnaReffotsirk is working on a solo campaign and made a preview including a chapter selection menu and a custom transmission menu. This shows another way to make great use of the UI dialogs!
For future voting can we not have it on Facebook? I tend to keep RL and forums separate since only bad things can happen and I've been getting spam event invites for the past few weeks which are really annoying.
Hmmm ... Sorry but your admin wasn't the only one to spot the Blizzard Facebook news. More than 10k people (yeah that's a lot! Thanks Blizz!) seen this post and went to mapster :)
I have nothing against linking to http://www.staredit.net/ but sometimes there's really no reasons to :)
