I've just finished a new (old) map. Basically this is my take on the old classic Blood Bath. However I've made some changes by having more expansions, and make the secondary expansions take a little more effort to get (and also more profitable). Two Xel'Naga towers one for each side. As well as four more two at each of the high-yield expansions, making taking these expansions more important than ever. Small and simple just the like the original. Let me know what you guys think.

Mapper: SichuanPanda
Map Name: Blood Bath SC2 Version 1 - Screen
Players: 2 to 4
Status: D/U
Expansions: One Natural Per Player. One High Yield per player.

Another one from game camera distance, on an angle to show two Terran example bases.

Can't wait until I have a chance to start messing with the editor, but just throwing this out there: anyone else think a new version of Reverse Temple (based on the sc2 version) would be sweet?

You can't host them in a custom game yet. At least not directly. You can open them up in the editor, add an AI, and play them that way, but so far the only discovered method of playing with another human being is if both players manually replace the custom map file with one of the Blizzard maps in their cache and host the appropriate "Blizzard" map. Basically, tricking SC2 into thinking it's loading up a map that it isn't. Both players have to do this or the game desync and players will drop.

well, one reason is that they(Bliz) have been begged to release it since beta's launch. another reason is that the want us to start making maps in preparation for the future. another reason is so they can look at places like here and see what kinds of maps players come up with. and hey, you learn to appreciate what they do when you start doing it yourself.

Also, many of the more intricate UMS maps can indeed take weeks to make.

Presumably to get our feet wet with the editor.

They said that the ability to publish maps will come along sometime in an upcoming beta patch, so hopefully we won't be waiting too long. I can't wait for some hot UMS action.

So that mapmakers can find and report bugs in the program?

To get water to show up correctly with the higher end game graphics change your graphics settings under File->Preferences.

the reason i heard from them was for the trigger system etc so we can basically do ums maps not so much melee maps with it.

Guys I'm having trouble getting the computer AI to build. I keep getting "script logic error invalid main state" when I go to test the map. The computer will not build anything. I even tried resintalling the beta and I still get this error. I just want a simple AI to test my maps out against, I don't care how easy it is.

Shattered Basin - 1v1

[image loading]

Shattered Basin is a small 1v1 map located in one of the last remaining water basins on the planet Monlyth for thousands of miles. Although it is worn, dirty and ruined the ancient basin has enough water to sustain one army for a couple years... Will it be you, or your opponent?

Shattered Basin features an easily defensible high-ground natural expansion with a blocked ramp protecting it (temporarily) from outside threats. This natural expansion overlooks your opponent's high yield mineral expansion with a Xel'Naga watchtower, and his overlooks yours -- If you get greedy your opponent's going to know! The main entrances are cross-map, through a moderate choke in the middle. The choke contains a Xel'Naga watchtower, surrounded by sight-blocking reeds, making it a pivotal piece of land to control.

I have not released the map as it is still a work in progress. I am still working on perfecting the textures and the doodads. Also, if anybody has constructive feedback I will consider altering some of the more critical aspects of the map.

I don't know if I'm supposed to opt in for my map to be voted on, but please do.
