Publishing Limit Increased
Great news from Blizzard :)
Quote:As part of our ongoing efforts to foster a productive and happy StarCraft II mapmaking community, we recently asked players to share their thoughts and ideas on how the custom map system might be improved. Some mapmakers noted that the current limits placed on custom map publishing felt too restrictive and, as a result, made their mapmaking experience less enjoyable.
We've taken this feedback to heart and increased custom map upload limits in two ways. Players are now provided with a total of 10 custom map slots and up to 50 MB of total map storage space. Ultimately, we want players to be able to share more maps with the community, and we feel these changes will supply mapmakers the additional freedom they need to better flex their creative muscles.
We'll be carefully monitoring how this additional storage is used by players and, as always, will continue to seek your feedback for how we may further improve the Battle.net mapmaking and publishing experience.
ModCraft by Xaragoth and Otixa
You've probably seen the 3D Studio Max streams by Otixa on the main page. He decided to team up with Xaragoth and make it a regular show: ModCraft. This is going to be a weekly event every Saturday at 6 PM GMT, 1 PM EST, 8 PM CST.

Every Saturday Otixa and I shall present you with interesting Workshops, Tutorials and Discussions centered around Maps, Mods and Tools! We will grab folks from the community, prepare stuff you're interested in and go through all the important steps you need to complete in order to create a good Map. The topics will range from the very basics to advanced things like Nextgen Models, Game Design rules and creating awesome Terrain.
This week you are going to be taught how to make a crate using 3D Studio Max and Photoshop!
Ring of Creation by Ashbringah
Ring of Creation is a mix between tower defense and arena. It features some nice terrains and custom interface. In order to polish the gameplay before publishing it, they are looking for europe beta testers!
Shark Tank by Ababmer
Did you know that it was possible to make a shark tank with a clever use of water and doodads? It's really impressive but Ababmer wrote a tutorial to cover the making process!
Tutorial: Click with Camera Mouse by Huesy
Camera mouse is getting quite a lot of fame recently. You can use it to fake building placement or make a shooting mode. Unfortunatly when you are in this mode the unit selection isn't working anymore. Huesy by doing some triggers and data tricks managed to get this ability back :)
Line Tower Wars Beta by Adelios
I've played Line Tower Wars a huge amount of time on Warcraft 3 and I'm happy to see that Adelios just recreated it for Starcraft 2. It's published on the Europe servers.
