-Swapping out texture sets. -Opening the MPQ and deleting the minimap.tga neither solution has worked. edit: When I swap it out for a standard set, the minimap works, but the moment I change it back, the minimap goes black again. I tried simply editing an existing texture set but that didn't work either. So it definitely a problem with the texture set, I just don't know what the problem is specifically. | ||

Here is how you fix it (you might want to first test it with a new empty map): Attention! Any mistake might cause the loss of terrain texture information Open the Data Editor and go to the Terain Texture Sets tab Select a standrt texture set that is the closest to what you curently have. Modefy this texture set so it matches your current one (try not to copy paste since you might copy the bug that is causing the black minimap) When done go to Map -> Map - Textues Select any standart Texture Set that is not your modefied one Note the order of the textures (old and new) on a notepad or take a screenshot or what ever you like Make sure you have a backup file Apply the new texture set Save & exit the editor, when done load your map again Go to Map -> Map - Textues and select your modefied standart texture set that we created earlier Take a look at your notepad/screenshot and set each texture to what it was replaced with Apply the texture set Save & exit the editor, when done load your map again Use test document to see if it worked From a guy called Hobrow. | ||

By the way, that article is really small, it'd be great if someone here experienced with textures and terrain could add to it. Or several someones. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QBk44.jpg) Also, if that is possible, originally I had some flames on the crashed battle cruisers, is there a way for them to go away once the battle cruiser is destroyed? EDIT: I believe I found how to make the BC destructible, I changed a 6x6 destructible rocks model to that of Wrecked Battlecruiser doodad. I don't know if this automatically makes it unpathable and unbuildable aswell though... And is there any way for me to get some flames on the initial model of the wrecked battlecruiser? | ||

I'm a platinum scrub who has not played in 3 months (been map making the entire time but otherwise just observing games on my maps, and playing wow). Is it worth me continuing mapmaking or not, if I suck at the game are they really going to be that balanced...? | ||

If you're making melee maps, it is important that you know at least the basics of melee and have watched enough pros playing to know how terrain gives advantages to different races. You'll also want to have some friends who are good players playtest your map so you can see how it balances in action. If it's UMS don't worry bro, just wing it. | ||

It's a pretty simple rule of thumb. The more open, the better for Zerg. Why? Because the strengh of Zerg is masses of units. They want to be able to surround their enemies which works best in open terrain. The narrower it gets, the better for the other 2 races. Obviously Protoss is more favoured than Terran due to the ingame mapeditor, also known as force fields. On August 11 2011 18:32 Holiver wrote: For hopefully an insightful answer.

More important is your general understanding of balance and certain mapfeatures. Naturally the better you are at playing the game, the easier it is to understand strategic capabilities of a map etc. But take someone like lefix as example, he's like silver level in playing but pretty decent at mapmaking  | ||

Isn't openness also favoring Terran in TvP cause generally it's Bio vs Splash Units and Terran wants to get big concaves/surrounds and avoid splash and getting cut in half by forcefields?! | ||

Well yes if you look like it like that, on the other hand if a P goes for Gateway units and a T for mech it's the other way around again. But I did say that Protoss is more favoured than Terran  On August 13 2011 00:39 Sea_Food wrote: I have made a map and and on some points when I walk small units on edges of cliffs, they fall in an invisible hole.

I have tried lowering the and highering the spots but it dosnt help. I've never had this issue and it kinda looks as if they screwed up with the pathing. However this is not the case so what I'd suggest is to just fix it by painting some pathing blocker at the problem area. Or you do it with the pathingblocker doodads. I fixed it on BG with painting: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WS7t3.jpg) | ||

- Im a nub and what is holding me back most are my keyboard mechanics. I've played around w/ my hotkey settings and made it a bit better but this is still my downfall. I cant tell u how often I have to take my eyes of the screen to look down. Any ideas on how to help this process along or is it just a practice makes perfect deal. - Is Terran imba? I've been watching a bunch of GSL and its like 50% Terran. Same in IPL. Even in my random crappy ladder player pool theres def more Terran than others. Say it aint so, I'm scared of a nerf. | ||
