I had these files uploaded to Rapidshare, but since I do not have a Pro account, Rapidshare is bugging me about deleting them after a limited period of time. So if you want to get these maps but can't use these download links, PM me about giving you a working link.

Hey all,

So over the summer I got bored and tried my hand at BW mapping, specifically trying to convert some popular SC2 maps into BW. I kinda let the hobby fall by the wayside for several months since then, but I recently finished up Tal'Darim and am comfortable sharing these maps with you all.

Now, I have VERY limited mapping experience, so there are a TON of positional imbalances and amateurish mistakes in these maps. Basically, these are pretty bad, low-quality maps. Hell, I don't even know how exactly to do double cliffs, which shows on the Shakuras. Also, there is a bug that causes BW to crash if one or both of the map dimensions are not in the standard BW size (64, 96 128, 192, 256), so I had to resize some of the maps to make them not crash, which is why some of the maps have weird artifacts and spaces.

Also, they're not really a good way to practice SC2 in BW, though I guess they might be fun for the entire novelty of it.

Anyways, I hope you guys have fun messing around on them, or perhaps even fixing them up to be a bit more balanced

And ramps are a bitch to make haha, so I just copied and pasted off of ramp template maps, one of which was made by none other than (Z)MorroW himself, or so it seems.

At first glance it looks like bottom left position on Tal'Darim doesn't have a natural though?

Interesting project and good work.

I must say though that my first impression is just to reinforce my opinion that most SC2 maps have way the hell too much unused space.

Actually, I used Scmdraft2 since it's MUCH more flexible than the vanilla BW editor. The vanilla BW editor only has a limited set of ramps that only face southeast and southwest.

Also, Antiga has double cliffs, which I haven't figured out how to make yet. I guess I might try making newer maps eventually.

Nice work meta looks likes like Road Runner or New Tornado tbh and Sc already got lots of Lost Temple versions that was more balanced then yours just honesty here but overall nice work hoping you can inprove on your map making skills

It is funny how lame these maps look when compared to actual, good BroodWar maps... XD


Maybe one day Sc2 will catch on, I'm hoping they do!

oh cmon, it's not fair to compare to the polished pro BW maps. Let someone experienced pretty up these maps, and they'll look just as good except for incredibly obvious imbalances lol

Yeah it's kind of weird, these are the low-quality maps reminiscent of the beginning of BW, but the reverse ramps give it away :\

They're so... small. Or am I just looking at it weird. I swear the current BW maps are way larger.

It would be cool if this got spotlighted. BW Spotlight luv!

It would also be great to know what BW races are favored on these.

Maybe it's just the layout. The current BW maps are mostly 128x128. The maps I made are at least 128 in both dimensions, with some maps having at least one dimension being more than 128.

I'd be open to remaking some of these. Setting aside your mapping skill, most of the maps are pretty imbalanced in BW though, especially the open natural ones. I guess the only viable ones in your pack would be Tal'Darim and Shakuras, though Shakuras has a host of other problems.

Multiple height levels would take a ton of tile-editting to do properly so I probably won't be doing that. Though if I had time, it's definitely possible.

Oh, and yes, Morrow made maps in BW.

Oh God it's Metalopolis.

I looked at the map for so long and couldn't figure out what SC2 map it was supposed to be.
