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.
Extr3m TD by hectorpalador
hectorpalador at nibbits made a remake of my TD … however let say it’s beyond my understanding. We have 2 computers that are fighting each others, units that come and don’t attack the pylon, billions of zerg that pop from no where … If someone could explain me what to do! I’ve recorded a little video to give you a preview of this map. I’ve built in the heights or my towers would get insta-killed.Edit: With the correct Base10000 folder the game is in fact playable! It’s a merge of both my Tower Defense and the Micro Defense along with the SC2 Colorizer Tool. Sorry for the video and bad press … But still the video looks fun so I keep it there :P

Starcraft II Campaign
If like me you didn’t follow the Blizzcon you probably didn’t see the Starcraft II campaign preview. This is a good way to guess what we will be able to do with the Galaxy Editor. There are neat things like custom UI, realtime lava height modification, camera shaking, custom spells …XML Documentation by IggyHopper and Hati
Documenting XML files is really long to do but so helpful when you are in front of those files. Today IggyHopper and Hati documented some of those 4 files:- BehaviorData.xml: This file contains all the special effects of the abilities like generating creep, creating buffs, spawning creatures …
- EffectData.xml: In there you will everything related to damage (ranged, aoe, dots, suicide, ...)
- TurretData.xml: Units that have ranged attacks send their bullets through turrets.
- WeaponData.xml: Need to explain?
