MapCraft
MapCraft 1.6
This program allows PC and Mac users to play custom games over Battle.net 2.0 with multiple players. A single player feature is included as well, primarily for Mac users who have no map editor to run Test Document on.
As of MapCraft 1.4, Extinction is now the default Multiplayer map.
MapCraft requires a recent version of the Java runtime installed on your computer.
This program has been tested under Mac OS X 10.6.3 and Windows 7. All versions of Windows above and including Windows XP are supported.

Although this post is outdated, I still like to say that this is a lot better than entering each map and clicking on the Test Map button. This gives more of the feel that you are actually playing a custom game or games.
@Antares7: Go
what do you mean? you cant steal other peoples maps with a map swapper?

This can be used to unlock other people's maps, edit them, and potentially steal them as their own idea. That needs to be fixed ASAP.
Awesome. Just awesome. Thanks MotiveMe and Sixen.
Hey, can you put up a link of where to download cortex library not on your site, it wont let me download it and crashes my internet, but i have downloaded things before and i tried deleting stuff to make room, no luck, so can you post it somewhere here or on a new website?
Posted it here since the other 2 don't seem to be being watched anymore
Cool stuff you two!
is this the response to the lack of LAN?
yes I know this only works for Bnet but I wouldn't be surprised if people used a modified version of these kind of programs to implement a "LAN" system
Woa..so we can play maps w/o battle bet. Just WAIT. As soon as this gets popular blizzard will make it illegal....
Why would you use this instead of hosting privately?
Cool stuff though.
is it really not allowed to private locked multi test you map for the contest?
seems like I need to change the map name or copy paste all the stuff from my map to another map...
I fuckin LOVE YOU (no homo).
Seriously tho - I thought i wasn't going to be able to multiplayer test my map for the competition, thanks a ===TON===
Hi, will it work on OS X 10.5.8 ? Haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet..
thanks
I'm going to release an updated version of this, this weekend so stay tuned.
We're out of Beta now, is there a version that works with the non-Beta client?
When I tried to open any of the Yabot maps for instance, it tried to open SC2 Beta instead of SC2 (which Battle.net understandably had a problem with.) I deleted the Beta to see if that was the problem, but it still won't open in the regular SC2 app.
Thoughts? I'm on 1.5 Mac OS X
@SaeschTheFlash: Should be able to just run it through the "Single Player" tab. Just select a Replay instead of a Map.
any possibility to watch replays with mapcraft on os x?
to load any map on Mac os.
save downloaded custom maps in this directory
/Documents/Blizzard/SCIIBeta/Maps
it works ;)
still unable to open any map files >.>
I can't thank the creator (MotiveMe?) enough!! I felt there was no way for Mac users to mess around practicing builds, during the downtime, and now it seems there is!
Unreal!! Thank you so much!
