How can I reactivate Placement Grid? Normaly I switch it on/off by ctrl+shift+H but it doesn't work since 10 minutes now... "Show Grid" is aktive ("View" -> Show Placement Grid" -> "Show Grid") but there is no grid... on all of my maps ... even if I restart the editor... anyone any idea?

Edit: fixed

Is it possible to have a stencil, or something like that and a semi-transparent overlay on the map. E.g. I have an Image of the map I want to build and wont to lay it over my map, to work precise. Is this possible? Or any work around?

So you know how some maps have no bottom? Like they go off into a space background? Is there a way to change them so they don't?

I haven't seen this question answered - sorry if it has been.

In the map textures => modify menu that opens the data editor, that we use for changing tilesets and things like that, there's an option called "hide lowest level" if ticked, it makes the background of the map be the skybox model of your choice.

I am making a melee map and is pretty much in the final aesthetics part, how do I test it to see if is competitively viable?

Also when you upload your map to battle.net can we update ir?

thx in advance

you can always post it here for our opinions, otherwise, find people to play it?

also everytime you upload your map to bnet, it replaces the version there

I am having trouble bringing back the placement grid, I seem to have pressed a button (but don't remember which one it was). When I press the hotkey to bring up placement grid (ctrl+shift+H) it still doesn't work. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks in advance.

You may have pressed "v".
"v" toggles between "editor view" and "game view"

I know about the 'v' hotkey, its not that. I have messed around with just about every view setting and I still can't get it back.

how do i force cross position on 4 player map? do i just set it at the advanced players menu? do the spawn points randomize? I can get it to be force spawn by 1vs3 and 2vs4 but i dont know if you spawn anywhere on the map or do you just spawn on 1?

How can you transfer maps from computer to computer? I play SC2 mainly on my gaming desktop, but I also play it on my laptop as well. I like to transfer all of my replays to my laptop as well so when I'm somewhere where I may not have internet, I can watch replays of games. In turn to watch the replays, I need all of the maps on my laptop as well, which I want anyway so I can play vs AI if I'm ever offline as well. I know most of the maps are saved in a cache folder in programdata. If I copy the whole cache folder to my laptop, will I basically transfer the maps over and have them there? Would I have to go in and pull out all of the maps and rename them to .sc2map files and put them in documents/starcraft somewhere?

How do you change the color that a certain texture displays on the minimap.

After finishing texturing my map, I notice that the minimap is a a sickly mix of browns and greys, is there a way to fix this?

Can't say I know the answer for sure, but my try hitting ctrl+t? I know it fixes some other problems... not sure about this one.

I think hitting Shift+H does something that disables you from seeing the placement grid as well, this has happened to me quite a few times, since it uses 2 of the 3 keys.
