I can't recover the original SC2 files from my previous computer, so that's not an option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks! | ||

I've now overhauled most aspects of my hardware, including purchasing new DRAM, adding SSD boot drive, adding a new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GPU, updated and switched audio driver to using the HD audio output from the graphics card, Reinstalled the OS and game and tested as a bare bones system to eliminate other possible conflicts including antivirus software. Nothing has helped and now I wonder if its not just a problem with the editor and or game engine itself. Has anyone else run into a similar problem with the game freezing during game play as related to map testing or game play in general? Have searched dozens of sites for solutions, none offer anything I haven't already tried, was hoping in this environment, with dedicated gamers, I may find some answers. Have been a SC player since 1996 and I recently retired, would like to dedicate time to building quality maps, but this problem is a real hindrance. With no solutions, the only option I have left is to replace the Mobo assuming some kind of HW connection to the problem. HW Config: Mobo: ASUS P9X79WS CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K (Sandy Bridge-E), LGA 2011 Six Core, 3.2Ghz, water cooled no overclocking. DRAM: 16GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Drive: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB OS: Windows 7 x64 | ||

Worked with Blizzard support on it for 3 weeks with no resolution and have continued my own efforts since. Without going into great detail, the essential problem occurs when animated doodads are placed on a map during early map creation. On my system, once I start testing a map and when a unit is moved close to one of these map elements, I hear a hiss from my speakers and then the system freezes. Requires a hard reset to get back up and going. Once a map gets fully fleshed out, this problem seems to go away and it occurs less often if the map is uploaded to Battle.net and run from there, rather than running locally.

DRAM: 16GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Drive: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB OS: Windows 7 x64 Have you found other people to test it? (besides blizz hard) ? Also, is it all doodads.. all units? We'd like to help but without getting into the grease of things... difficult to say anything or even get in the swing of things.. .. if it happens on other systems that have nothing to do with anything that built or is "building" your map, then there is probably little anyone can do, so testing it like that would further your hunt for the truth. i can tell you that the editor is awesome and that it is flawed too.. you have changed editor presumably (reinstalled a new machine and a new sc2) and the problem still occurs.. yes? Some doodads are notoriously bad and were "outlawed" yes but if this occurs on the most benign ones... Some hidden doodad you never saw you put on your map could be doing this ? Some sound setting you set on by default that is in conflict with "what happens in your map"? Again, if you want another pair of eyes on it do pm me a way to play and open the map and i would be happy to try and help. In any case, if not me then someone else.. it is good at least to see other enthusiast people tell you that you are right even if it doesn't solve your problem at all. Placing doodads at the start mmm? that seems fun.. but it seems it might be that set of orders that creates the issue? gl | ||

EDIT: Also how do i alter terrain in realtime to match the symmetry of the other side of the map? Symmetry should be under a terrain tab, at the top of the screen. You will have the option of rotational, diagonal, etc. As far as making doodads transparent, try double clicking on the doodad. If it doesn't give you the option, try looking up the doodad in the data editor under the doodad/model[?] tab. On the sidebar there might be an option. Sorry, haven't used the sc2 editor in a long time. | ||

The symmetry tool is awesome but only so once you discover that you can switch from one "set" to another with but a click (for instance you want to paste units symmetrically but it wont always do a proper visual job of it, so you go from "x" symmetry you chose to "none" and then back to "x" etc, very nice)  About the more intriguing fascinating "model/doodad/actor becomes transparent" thingee, possibly "Ignore walkables" is what you are looking for? identify your "doodad"'s name by selecting it on your terrain window (double click it, it will open a window) open the data editor on the top ribbon (the marine logo) (set the proper sequences of the top left viewing option buttons .. .. to get 3 windows ("display all object sources" and "show object explorer" (to see the chain of data you are going to "play" with)) on the new window ribbon, toggle the "+" button to open the "model" and "actor" tabs type the name of your "doodad" in search windows to find it in the "model" and "actor" tabs identify formerly the model and go to the according actor tab on the corresponding actor in the bottom window (right click it and select "view linked actor") in the right window ribbon select "art" in the "Art model flags" un-select or select / un-toggle or toggle the "ignore walkables" and possibly "update visibility" settings ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/rGq5Csg.jpg) this example features a model that lets units behind them be seen as "ghost" graphics good luck edit: it is difficult to answer questions without legion of specifics regarding what you wish to accomplish (in your case you have a model that does not do something (?), the solution lies in finding a model that does/acts what/how you want to "by default" and go to and fro from your coveted cherished chosen model to that "default" model and adjust the settings accordingly on your prized model/actor,.. the path i outlined could / should work (?! mainly because going through willywonka's factory is awesome and will get you addicted.. but this "ride" will also show you that it isn't "that" hard to go "further") .. nonetheless! do follow up with further inquiries should i not have properly divined your purpose ... ) hf <3 | ||

There are several discords: This one: https://discordapp.com/invite/NpeSYTs is mostly focused on melee mapmaking. There's also this one which covers arcade/custom stuff: https://discordapp.com/invite/Jtzt8Su. I think there might be one or two others I'm forgetting. For adding cliff textures you go under Data, go to whatever Terrain Type you're using, and then you can add Cliffs. | ||
