I am trying to figure out why the Arcade is treating it as a private map when I uploaded it as a public one. Further proof that I did upload it as a public map: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jyiiy.png) | ||

Did you give it a category for the Arcade? | ||

Try searching for it with no spaces. ie "DefenseofHaven" Did you give it a category for the Arcade? No, it's under "Other", but how would I set a category for the Arcade version? EDIT: Changed the Genre to Strategy and yes it does appear when you search for it with no spaces. It's wierd why that's the case... Thank you for the help. This genuinely screwed with my head over the last few hours. | ||

On my test map I removed the cloaking and detection from the protoss' observer. I want to give these two abilitys to the observer via an upgrade but can't seem to figure out how to. I tried it using a behavior in which I then edit the values for cloak and detector via my upgrade, but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone please give me a hint on how to make that work? Thanks Skubidus | ||

They have been increased from 8kb to 1 mb for up to 36mb total. On September 20 2012 03:34 Skubidus wrote: Hi everyone! On my test map I removed the cloaking and detection from the protoss' observer.

Thanks Skubidus I believe you should be looking into the directions of requirements and/or validators.

When 1.5 was release, all custom maps were given a clean slate ie erased. Any old maps would have to be reposted by the original creator else you have no hope of gaining access to all those wonderful old maps. | ||

I don't if anybody here can point you to good resources. The data editing scene is kind of a small club of elite nerds with lots of time, as far as I can tell. =\ I think most people who have a good handle on it have just spent a ton of time tinkering and exploring in the editor. | ||

Im a native to mapster and eatthpath about sums it up. You best bet is going to be mapster, but then again if you can't simple find tutorials (and they are out there) your going to have issues because as wonderful as the mapster committee is (and it really is the best community i've seen thats opening and useful), they do not like to spoonfeed and even when they do you won't understand it unless you know specifically what they're talking about. As already said the large majority of them are selfmade and have spent a great deal of time and energy tinkering. I can get you in the right direction but seriously expect lots of grind but it can be really enjoyable it your into it. Mapster has a wiki with a list of all the tutorials. Onetwosc has tutorials on youtube like the complete hero series. Your also going to need to be more specific as to what exactly your trying to achieve. | ||

Thanks Skubidus For the detector behavior, I think you need to add a requirement "CustomAbility Researched or better" to Detector (11) (requirements have always been a pain in the ass for me to set up) Then create a custom ability, grant the ability to "Fleet Beacon Research" or whatever, then make sure the Fleet Beacon has the upgrade on its command card and set its costs For the Permanent cloak, you need to unflag the obs for "Always cloaked" and then Create a custom ability that grants the permanently cloaked behavior. give the ability to the building research you want, and set its command card and costs...
