Maps 'n Mods Tutorial: Missile Movers by Blizzard

Earlier today, Blizzard released their third Mapping tutorial, which was surprisingly a lot more complicated compared to their last two, which were on Terraining and Publishing. This time around, the tutorial was on Missile Movers:

We’ve just expanded the StarCraft II Maps and Mods page with the Missile Movers tutorial, located here. The missile mover system allows the map maker to control motion in dramatic and entertaining ways. While typically used to configure missile-based attacks, the underlying motion defined by the missile mover system can be used to drive a reaper’s body when it jumps or a spine crawler’s tentacle when it attacks. Add this tutorial to your toolbox and get more out of your custom map creations.

Mapster Mentor Program by wOlfLisK

For a while now, we've been talking about making some kind of mentoring/training/teaching program here on Mapster. wOlfLisK has decided to take it upon himself and get things started with it, essentially it is a way to let older and experienced Editors take on an "apprentice," and help them learn the ways of the Editor. You can of course, still ask questions on the Forums and IRC, but this Mentoring program makes things a little bit more personal.
