Yeah I'm downloading the new patch now, looks good.

Spor, there will not be a sc2 bwm, or atleast it won't come from panschk. I mentioned it to plexa a few weeks ago and he said he's talk to someone about it; tl might replace bwm for sc2. Nothing official yet though. Maybe we'll all have to go to sc2gg.com (hope not, that site sucks rofl).
Or maybe we'll just rename our map files .scx and upload them here still!

About the site my suggestion is to split it (make Newest updates #2 for SC II maps only) and keep the old data base too =]

I tried using it and gave up really quickly. It took forever to place any terrain. How'd you get it to work?

Things i don't like/can't find in the editor::

I can't find how to make the lighting thing down in the cliffs..

When i Fill Texture a new Terrain the old one remains on the edges and looks SHITY so i have to fill it up manualy if i want no edge thingys..

Doodad placing is kinda hard.. yeah it isn't imposible and you can rotate each doodad individualy to be in place (mostly on cliffs) but it sure is alot harder than sc 1 where they just snap and show Green Squares when you can put it..

When i set the galaxy editor to be a default opening program for maps, and when i doubleclick on a map it shows me the Loading Screen of the editor but it dosen't open it..

I thought they said you can import textures ? but i can't find where from..

No mirror tools :( yeah you can copy paste rotate.. but it's still harder..

the only real inspiration of mine comes from the blizzard maps in the beta (mostly Blistering Sands) cuz they look awesome..
2010, 04, 23 17:36
There are a few bugs in scmdraft 2 that I know of, but from what I hear, the galaxy editor is really hard to use in comparison. I eventually got used to scmdraft 2, but it looks like learning galaxy editor is going to be a pain. Sc2mdraft anyone?
2010, 04, 24 01:19
i herd some people in tl say that this isn't the full editor.. instead blizzard realeased just a part of it to test Trigger mapping.. let's hope it's true cuz if this is the final editor.. wtf man..
2010, 04, 24 07:17
It's not the final version lol, this is just a beta map maker. They will add a ton of content with the final release.

YES FINALY FOUND A WAY!!! The magical key is SPACEBAR!!! (for selecting and deselecting stuff) =]] you can also copy paste terrain with the same key Space+mouse drag then Cntr+c then Cntr+v
2010, 04, 25 13:54
Has anyone found the mirror tool?
2010, 04, 25 19:09
Blizzard said that there is no mirror tool and it won't have one when final version.. but i don't believe them since all of their maps look mirrored to me...

you can use Copy Pasting terrain + Edit >> Flip/Rotate :)

First step>> click "T" to go to the terrain pallete
Second step>> make what ever terrain you wanna make (half the map is most popular way to do it)
Third step>> Click "Spacebar" to enter the "Selection mode"
Fourth step>> Selecting everything you wanna duplicate.. (DO NOT SELECT THE EMPTY SPACE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE MAP!)
a green square will apear on the minimap that merks what you selected.. then Click Cntr+C to copy the terrain
Fifth step>> Paste the terrain by clicking Cntr+v make sure you leave enough space for it to rotate and don't overswap the two halfs of the map..
Sixth and final step>> go to Edit>>Flip>>Flip Horizontaly..

And there you go the map is ready :)

Dunno why they won't add a mirror tool. It's so much simpler to do that X_X.
2010, 04, 25 21:58
yeah everyone is saying the same thing.. i don't know what the hell are they thinking with that.. hope they change they mind tho :) but they have alot of work to do around the actual game.. multiplayer balancing single player campaigns.. battle net.. i think the boosting of the editor is one of the last things in that list T_T

View » Show Layer » Check both "Points" & "Pathing"
then go to
View » Show Placement Grid » Show Near resourses

and then you have a little grid thingy around every one of your minerals to show you where to put the start location exactly :)

The fun thing is that a mirror tool is like 10-20 lines of code if implemented like in SCMD2.
2010, 04, 26 08:44
Mirror/copy rotate is like the MBS and automining of making maps.
It's soooo easy now.
