Space for CCs is basically just another way of saying how many open units are in your main. Figure a command center is 25 square units, 36.1 CCs is 902 square units open in your main.

Typically the acceptable range for main base size is 30-38.

Rush distance is measured in the same units. Typical 'safe' rush distances for natural to natural are between 120 to 155.

While in editor view (the V key switches between editor and game view) press ctrl-shift-h to view these units directly on your map. It is helpful for measuring chokes.

Hello, I modified everything, the path etc..
But i got this error:
"Unexpected format for MapInfo, map size appears to be <108246, 0>. No MapInfo file.
Could not read required map files for mapname, skipping"

And i got others message with the same thing "No mapinfo"

Maybe i'm dumb, or i have not read everything, but what the hell is MapInfo, how i get it?

You cant analyze a map that is opened in the editor, could be the issue.

I have a coupple of wishes / requests.

1. Nat2nat distance translated into seconds for an scv to travel
2. Playable map size (so you dont have to check it ingame) displayed in the overview
3. Natural choke identified and the distance between nat chokes.
4. Pathing read for pathing-blocking doodads

I realize this may have been requested before, and prob the last point is not in beacuse of technical limitations.

Thanks for a great tool that has helped me find many bugs, and fine-tune melee maps for about a year.

I was using this tool and wanted to change some things, so I got it to build and started editing. I also added in some suggestions from this thread. The source code is available at SC2Mapster, and there is also a list of the changes there--you can use that to try for a mac build, as well. Here's a preview of what it looks like on Cloud Kingdom LE. License is still GPLv3, big thanks to dimfish for this wonderful tool.

Let me know if you experience any issues with this version.

I just tried this, very cool!

My only (very minor) nitpick at this moment is the lack of 'grid lines' (dots on the corners of the build grid cells) in the summary images, imo this image is the most useful, (aside from the distance images) and I think that it is more useful for demonstrating choke sizes etc with gridlines.

thanks for working on this!

New revision (r50) committed and built. Download Link

You'll see new options in constants.txt allowing you to choose when to render vertices and how to render them.

So I'm trying to use the Mac version, but this is what I get:

****$ ****/sc2mapanalyzer-build-1/sc2mapanalyzer ; exit;
dyld: Library not loaded: libStorm.dylib
Referenced from: ****/sc2mapanalyzer-build-1/sc2mapanalyzer
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
logout

[Process completed]


**** is just me censoring potentially sensitive information, like directory structure, etc. That aside, any reason why the UNIX executable doesn't want to load libStorm.dylib? It's in the same folder, just as it was downloaded. Am I missing a step or something?

EDIT: Bahaha, solved it. For other Mac users who might run into the same thing, what you have to do is move libStorm.dylib into /usr/lib. Wasn't originally aware of this until I did a bunch of research on dylib files. @_@!!

Argh, so even with NullCurrent's MPQ editing solutions, I get the following:


Opening ****/maps/test.SC2Map...
map name found for preferred locale: [CD Quarantine Zone]
map name as part of filenames: [CDQuarantineZone]
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Prepping analysis,
....ERROR: No internal entry for float constant chokeDetectionThreshold.
Help improve the map analyzer: send map files that cause errors to dimfish.mapper@gmail.com.

Anybody have any ideas?

Divide the distance by the worker speed 2.78 and you have your time

Your other suggestions are very important tho
