But is there a way to make the other part of the ground see though to? [EDIT]YES! i figured it out! I did'nt know there was a trigger to hide terrain.  | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/flAVH.jpg) [/url]I do not know how I change the size of the token field size so that I can see it. I have tried playing around with it and I can't seem to find a solution. | ||

Close up everything looks normal, nice looking textures and some protoss decals. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aRlSZ.jpg) But when I zoom out to get a full map view the textures become really blurred and a lot of the doodads looks bad as well, especially the protoss decals. Example: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dlMFo.jpg) I've tried changing video settings in the editor from lhigh to low but no good result really, whenever I zoom out it is just a blur. I suspect my ancient gforce 8800 GTS video card is responsible for it but I dont know, hopefully someone got a solution to this? | ||

But then I stop being lazy and start being awesome again  One thing though that helps me alot, if you just want to copy one half side of the map, just paint a half circle of texture in the middle, copy and paste it so it makes a whole circle. Also works with cliffs etc. On April 22 2011 06:29 Archvil3 wrote: + Show Spoiler + I got a question regarding taking screenshots of my maps.

I'm not sure if theres anything you can do about. Also the look of the textures change the further you zoom out. | ||

If you're taking zoomed out (overview) images, use the Export Map Image under Data. For best results, personally, I set my settings in SC2 to Ultra, and then set the Export Map Image settings to Game, and it looks awesome. Oh and, 500th post, what a thriller it is too. | ||

In order to get roads or decals or other animations from a high angle (beyond setting to high minimum or ultra, getting a graphics card that allows such a display )you have to "brush up" (redraw) with an image software (the best is to take several "screenshots" and select the best your cp (or someone else you trust to get said a screenshot) can get.. and then "add" the missing bits from other versions. | ||

Usually means 1 player map (that's only a polling issue, the editor allows for multiplayer uses) Usually means you download the map and play it offline (the lag is the issue, since many features are lag inducing, this is the reason why the ums multiplayer scene has not exploded yet), but it would also cover multiplayer games (playable only online) that depart from sc2 standards. It mostly means: learn a new game with extra/different gameplay specific features departing a bit (or completely) from the well known and used melee gameplay. | ||

On April 26 2011 08:43 Carmine wrote: I just started trying to use the editor. I decided to make a multiplayer map where the units are all different than in the regular multiplayer. I started by downloading shakuras plateau. Then I started editing data. First I made Zergling hatch 4 to an egg (without the upgrade). I tested this and it worked. Then I wanted to make them cheaper and weaker, so I went to the zergling unit stats and changed its food cost/mineral cost. I also went to the actor and changed the model to be a bit smaller. When I went back to the editor to check if it worked, the new changes had taken effect but my old change (4 to an egg) wasn't in effect anymore. I checked and the changes I made were still present in the editor but they aren't being manifested during my test sessions for some reason. Similarly it happened with drones as well. Got them to hatch 2 to an egg, and it tested perfect. Then changed the food/minerals and once i went back to check the additional changes my old changes had been reverted. Each time I would go back to check if the changes i made to units/egg were still in the editor and they were, but for some reason it isn't working. I am new to this and need help! Thank you. Your modifications being done in a "newbie" fashion is probably the problem for it to work ( ) start over..duplicate the necessary units and change the abilities concerned applying them to those "new" units... interdependent abilities/data have a habit of crossfiring on the starting out mapmaker scmapster or other sources have loads of tutorials that allow for a method to the madness i have the same result (apparently it should work but something went wrong...) when i rush stuff | ||

I used a map with Niflheim tileset for this map, only changed color of the lighting and adjusted fog height a little, so nothing big.

(when playing in cooperation (on a team) you already share color...). don't think blizz thought of "adding" to the co op setting regarding who has control...but i never relinquish control of my units, so what do i know (: | ||
