Any chance you can do some tutorials on some of this cool stuff you do?

Try to survive the incoming hordes of the zerg, with your hero marine. Hes armor is weak but hes gun is heavy. You only have 25 hp so dont get hit. Be smart and outmanouver your enemies with deadly precision, using abilites as Force Field and Blink to your main advantage.
Distract your enemies with the autoturret and if everything goes wrong you can always blow your self up with the force of a nuclear strike. Nothing beats that! Despite the fact that you die and its game over.

Be sure to check my elite marine out too. A minigame about surviving. You have only 25 hp so be sure to stay away from the lings, and especially the blings(!). To stay alive you must micro heavy with forcefield and blink. Its fun and quite hard =)
A minigame about surviving seems really easy when all you'd have to do is spam forcefield

Hehe, you should try it Its really hard, you only have limited energy and can at a maximum make 3 forcefield in a row before youre depleted. The balance of the game is not nearly complete. So far its wery fun. =)

I've got a concept for a UMS survival map I'm calling simply Marines. It will be a standard survival / overrun outpost type game, with a wide range of upgrades weapons and mercenaries available to the players. There will be (up to) 8 players (for each player less all remaining players will get more starting money - up from 0 starting money with full 8 ppl). I have Basic Upgrades, Weapons, Weapon Attachments, Special Upgrades, Mercenaries and Team-Based special abilities already planned for version one. Players will be allowed one weapon upgrade and one attachment at any given time, but they may obtain as many of the other upgrades simultaneously. Once you purchase a weapon or attachment it will be placed in an inventory and players can select which one they wish to use in between attack waves. Kills will award both Gas and Minerals, Minerals will cover certain purchases, and gas other purchases. In addition to this the Team as a whole acquires something I'm calling 'Team Points' at the moment. After each wave of enemies is defeated the team acquires Team Points. The team leader (player one if player one is available player two otherwise, and so on for all players until a filled slot is found), is the only one that can use Special Team Abilities, and these will be very powerful and cost team points to use, given that you have a limited number of team points, the key to passing the later waves of the game will be using the right special abilities at the right time. I'm also considering perhaps allowing people to vote on team leader. Currently I have 35 waves with 3 boss waves planned. I'll post a full list of upgrades etc. soon.
Edit: I figured I should clarify something. I will not be having hero inventories. My solution for 'inventories' is basically thus, players pay x amount to unlock x attachment/weapon then they can select that attachment/weapon again at anytime from a secondary building for free, as they have already unlocked it. It will take 20 seconds to equip the weapon and then your units attack will change accordingly. However, since each weapon and attachment has multiple levels it is probably best to focus on one upgrade path. Also a clarification on mercenaries - you will have marines, marauders, siege tanks (siege mode only, artillery type defense), medevacs, and SCVs, SCVs will build the siege tanks, as well as defensive turrets, bunkers, and anti-air. Essentially what I have in mind is a play style where a few players focus purely on mercs/defenses while other players focus purely on strong 'hero' marines.
I hope this hasn't already been answered in this thread but I've spent 4 or 5 hours on this thing and I still can't figure out how to edit the size of units. HALP!

In effect's tab in data editor you should make a 'set' and put desirable weapon effects in this set (look for launch missile and persistent effects, not for damage ones). Then you should make your unit's weapon use this 'set' instead of whatever effect it was using before. Your unit will end up with only one weapon, but in practice it will act as a set of different weapons

look for "scale" field in your unit and in your unit's models. Worked for me.
this has probably been explained before in this thread, but all of the models are gone on the map. I cannot for the life of me seem to find out how to make them visable again. anyone? thanks

here is the map
and here is me using the legacy converter on the BW map, which placed minerals outside the green area
Problem is though, that the BW map doesn't really convert well into an sc2 map design so I had to modify it a bit and the minerals are all off. Not to mention the gasses need to be doubled.
So how do i place outside the green box?
My guess is that the green area is the playable area of the map. You made the map 64x64 but not all of that is playable map area. You will either have to change map bounds or make it a larger map to make the playable area 64x64.
