Is there a peepmode/Obs map available for the EU server? If not, who can I contact to see if there is one on it's way or suggest that one be done. The group of guys I play with use to have hours of fun on the WOL obs maps and we would love to get that going again. Thanks | ||

and also you can scale the size of the emitter so instead of placing 3 or 4 of them, just increase the size of one. that also cuts down on the amount of lightning if you use that emitter | ||

However, after using the SC2 editor, I now realize this isn't going to be such an easy goal. Anybody have some tips for me on where to get up to date guides for mapping? Without knowledge of how to use the terrain editor, you can't make a map. Fortunately, the terrain editor is the easiest to learn. Next, you'll need to become familiar with the trigger editor. Don't worry, you don't need to know a programming language to use it (unless you know Galaxy and want to create custom scripts, but it doesn't seem like you do and custom scripts are only shortcuts to using triggers/actions/ect.). Last, you'll need to get familiar with the data editor. The data editor is usually the hardest to learn because it's almost impossible to learn what EVERYTHING is and what EVERY field modifies. However, it is not the most essential to learn, as, depending on what kind of map you're trying to create, you may not even have to touch it. But it's highly recommended to get down the basics, as you'll probably want to at least modify units' health, give them abilities, ect. The only way to get better at using it is practicing. If you come across something that you don't understand, don't say to yourself, "That looks confusing, I'll just try to avoid using that". At first, back when I didn't even understand conditions, I just avoided using them, but when I got to understand what they were (which isn't complicated at all), it opened up another hundred thousand features I could implement into the game. I've been using the editor since StarCraft I, and am pleased with how easy it is to learn and use the editor. As for HOW to learn, use SC2Mapster.com and YouTube, specifically YouTube user OneTwoSC (Link to his channel). He creates great tutorials on how to create all types of games and adding awesome features. If you have any simple questions, keep posting in this thread. Good luck, and have fun modifying the game to your heart's content. -- T.J. | ||

I don't think that's a glitch. If you move your camera around and you see the texture "deciding what layer should be on top", then maybe it is, but to me, it actually looks aesthetically pleasing.  | ||

Ramps need to be diagonal for them to be blocked off properly by buildings. Otherwise you can't wall off properly. It has always been this way. | ||

All the ramps that are reasonable to have a wall-in near are diagonal. So apparently there's either something else wrong with non-diagonal ramps, or our dear poster is abit overzealous. | ||

The only potential downside to them when not used for a wall-off ramp is on the aesthetic side of things, but that's up to the individual to make them look nice. Seems like the poster in the WIP thread heard they were bad but didn't really understand why, so just painted with a broad brush. | ||
