First of all, you shouldn't even be able to publish unsaved maps. Even if you only change a detail it will tell you that there was made a change that isn't saved. But if you still managed to do the improbable you should just be able to download it by going to Open > B.net and search for it there. Not sure if you can just search for any map though.

Please be as specific as you can with your "simple answer." Is this a way to easily cast FF while you have both Templars and Sentrys in your army?

What for? Playing with them in the editor? Playing them online?
"Downloading" could mean both... If it's the for "editing"/publishing in another realm, pm the authors...(+ Show Spoiler +being all  will help
If they are already uploaded on your own realm, use the blizz search function, and you'll be able to find them easy to play them

If you only recently registered on tl, there is a few days waiting period... that is for most forums on tl, some forums do not allow you to post your own threads, just post in the ones already there.

1/Apoo, you must learn how to view/check the "view" menu in the editor... Doodads need to be toggled to appear (view/show layer/ toggle doodads). i remember this question having been answered up thread stream, so other shite might have been answered there... typing "v" (lock to game view might help too
2/If you have dumped the map from your own files just go and play it online (that will dwld it) and then open it (with the editor) in your cp (file/open/local files/aplication/sc2/mod/)... note that all maps go (should be put in) mod )

Has anyone figured out what makes Special Forces maps so damn laggy? I love playing them by myself but the real difficulty is knowing what I have to snipe before it spawns a game ending amount of lag monsters.
Low settings, high settings its all doomed.
Possibly other players are not on low settings?
Possibly some people are using other bandwith hungry softs while playing?
Possibly the map is too full of lag prompt stuff?
Sorry i'm not a fan of it, so my answer is a generic one

So I've downloaded a ton of maps and some of them I don't intend on ever playing ever again. This isn't a problem except for when I'm at school. Usually at school I don't get internet connection so I can't go into the create multiplayer screen to play vs AI. So I have to use the single player screen but the amount of maps I have makes it load so slowly that by the time I get a game going I have like 5 minutes left before class is over. Can anyone help?
tl;dr Can you like delete old downloaded maps like in SC:BW?
This is a Simple Q/A, so i'll answer here
Downloading is vague.. you always dwld all the maps you play, some other maps you dwld from sites and not by playing...
i don't understand the correlation (it being long to load your list of maps...) however i aim to help not understand
Just go in your cp and delete said maps (application/sc2/mod/... the maps should all be there), just put them in the trash
(manage published (as iron' advised) would be if you dwld and published them... however i still don't get it.. so please rephrase if this advice fell flat on its arse and solved nothing 
edit : copy pasted Boesthius instead of Appo

Exactly. And i search a option where i can see these Decals in the Editor like i see them ingame.
/edit: I got it. I reseted the video options in the editor and now it works. I can see them just fine.

Go to Map -> Teamplacement (Easy) / Teamplacement (Advanced). There you can edit all the spawn options. I got the german Editor, so they dont have to name exactly like this, but you should find them.
If you got problems with the edit you can just compare how Blizzard made these optinos on their maps, for example on Shakuras Plateau.

I did all the editing possible to make opposite spawns, but I got close spawns multiple times. What I did was ally each player with all the other players that arent opposite spawn. What am I doing wrong?

1) I only see Water and Lava as fluid settings. I know how to make the water look good, but how do I make Ice?
2) How do you create "dead space" at the edges of maps. EXAMPLE: On Xel'Naga Caverns, there is a dead space in the center, and the edges. I don't think that dead space like this can be made by using ramps. There is a cool fade effect on the cliff.
![[image loading]](http://media.mlgpro.com/site/images/features2/xelnaga1.jpg)
My question is a) How do you create that drop-off cliff with the cool fade effect? b) how do you place doodads such as that stone arch in this cliff?
3) Does rotating the start position Change which side the workers are on, or does it change the actually angle you see the start building?
4) How do I make a player the white color without having to make them "Neutral", which would make it not player-controlled?

Those are a whole bunch
1/Check out niflheim on sc2mapster
2/Not sure i get it.. adding cliff level and doodads (lights) should do it?
3/Never tried it = you a mapmaker
4/player colors, like so many seemingly innocent things in galaxy, is not as easy as it sounds 
set player color, yet again on the awesomeness of galaxy addicts' site...
(feel free to use the search there too, for maximum efficiency)

2a) At first I was confused about this too. Then I realized that you were probably talking about the fog. About how to do that I'll gladly direct you bach a couple sites to this post.
b) Again not totally sure if I understand it right but if so you're talking about those spikes coming out of the cavern in the middle? If so you just select any doodad, press shift (to ignore placement requirements) and place it wherever you want. Also works outside of map boundries.
3) Never tried it, not even sure if you can actually rotate it. But if you can I'm sure it will not change anything.

How do I take a screenshot of my map in fullscreen in the editor? I can only get a screnshot within the viewport in the editor which is decently small.

This has been answered in this awe some thread already
Several times in fact.. so i'll share again my best advice for all mapmakers:
+ Show Spoiler +you should read this thread from page 1 till 47.., i did it's surprisingly quick and refreshingly useful just bookmark it when you've had enough and continue later

How do I get to the model maker from startup of the Editor? Furthermore, what are some tips for creating custom models?
|
"model maker"?
"creating models"?
...i must be thick
The data editor houses the Models (which you can change size).
You can import "exterior" models and "add/stack" several models together.. you can play with coloring some, however there are no "creation art tools" in galaxy...
AS for tips.. besides surfing sc2m? Dunno

When you select your entire army, any move command you do will move all the units. You already know this.
When you want to select a specific type of unit in your composition. Ctrl + Left-click let's you select them all and let's you use their abilities.
Additionally, you can select them all and press tab to alternate between units, you can't move them this way but if you have roaches and infestors for example, you can select them all: Press R to burrow and then press tab to switch to infestors have them make infested terrans with the hotkey.
