StarCraft II Q&A - Batch 22: Map Maker Series

Sounds like fun. Can I play that offline versus Computer opponent?

 

yup u sure can...

go to www.getdota.com

and there would be another option saying "get AI maps"

 

Thank you sooo much! owerup:

 

Definitely one of the better Q&A Batches released by Blizzard. I like this batch a lot... So much possibilities!

Creams self

 

nice!

 

A really good Q&A Batch.. This opens a lot of awesome possibility's.

Anyone thinking of making a Zergling Frenzy as in footman frenzy ??

 

damn i could have used 800 minerals.

 

Edited out quotes. Please read the forum rules and refrain from quoting unnecessarily.


Can someone explain what this means??? square Terran buildings??

 

hey, i went to that DotA place to get the map, but do i need WarCraftto play it??? lol that may have been a stupid question....

 

yep, you need WC3 as far as I know.

 

I like this Batch, not the best but short news and very good, they seem to be improving the map editor a lot and making more suitable for the creators

 

judging by how this batch is not posted on the US battle.net forum, i think this batch should be renamed as EU Batch #1

they finally post it

 

I asked the devs a question that was pretty much exactly question #1 at BlizzCon. They replied to me with the same first part, but the second part seems to be different. It sounds like what we were hoping for is actually making it into the game.

I like that they're including some WC3-esque functionality into units in the editor, but I am irked that we don't even have the option to go larger than 256^2....

 

I like the hero thing. Heroes don't belong in vanilla Starcraft but I like having the option available for mods.

 

" I've been following closely on the QA testing of the new editor too, and it definitely offers many possibilities to create new mods and build off of previously made ones. I'll chat with Brett to get more details about these features for our next Map Maker Series Batch down the line."

more information from Karune

 

I think the "squares" means that you can create vanilla 2*3 Bunkers even if the "new" official Bunker is 3*3.
You can adjust the shape of buildings essentially.

I´m afraid that DOTA might get a unexpected problem: there might be drastically reduced number of Models for units. More than 1/2 Models are "neutral" units. DOTA keeps "active" by adding Heroes, but in SC2 they might run out of different models very soon - especially since air Heroes would be really problematic in a Map like DotA.

 

Anyone have a link? I don't really feel like mucking about on the BNet forums to see the original.

@Seradin , having LT post the Q&A has nothing to do with whether he gets the minerals. He just posted first. Sorry.

Trust me, I looked very hard to see if there was a way that you had beaten him. But he completed it way before you did, and we need to be fair.
