I have done all of these. ;_;


Make something really special then; add neutral blinding clouds, or unbuildable, and uncreepable terrain.

They have neutral blinding clouds?! OMG


I'm actually trying to figure that out right now...

Talk to siskosgoatee, he set that up as well as neutral permanent psi storms and some other stuff a while ago. I'll try to find the thread.

Unrelated-- you know it's legit when you get neobowman and Barrin to show up out of the blue. wp redbull ^^

Nah, Québec has some consumer protection laws which force organisers for contests such as these to register it with the Québec government, allow the Québec government to mediate any disputes regarding the contest, and other stuff I can't quite remember off the top of my head. Anyway, it's too much hassle for most organisations, so Québec is usually excluded. I've verified in the official rules post:

The Contest is open to all legal residents worldwide excluding Quebec, Canada [...]

I have some terrible great map ideas, now it's time to overcome my complete lack of artistic talent the SC2 map editor to actually make something! Maybe... if I have time... what's a good rush distance again?

Perhaps you could draw a picture for someone who knows the editor....

Wish more pros would make maps. Morrow is the only one as far as I know.
Even if you don't know how to use the map editor you could still offer a design/sketch.

Yeah, I know I would be willing to execute a Catz map design for sure.

You know this really has me thinking: many fans/pros have a lot of ideas for map making but since the map maker is so incredibly complicated it's difficult for people unwilling to invest time into polishing everything to actually publish a completed map. What if blizzard offers some sort of simplified map editor, so we can make simple maps with great ideas, then hand the maps over to blizzard/pro mapmakers to be polished?

The map maker is already pretty simple, to be honest. You only really need to know two things to make a simple map: how to place units and how to draw cliffs, which requires either a few minutes of looking at the Blizzard tutorials or a few more minutes of looking around. It's quite intuitive, really. Adding players requires a bit more looking into but is still really easy. Just place the spawns and add two user-controlled players.

So it wouldn't really be hard for a fan or pro to put together a simple layout then pass it over to someone else for nice aesthetics and stuff.

honestly, the editor is really, really easy to use if all you want to do is make melee maps. it takes like 15-30minutes on youtube to learn all the tools needed to make a melee map from start to finish. go for it

sorry to interject but I'm quite sure that nothing "special" will arise.. melee is melee and red bull (as awesome as they may / should be) will be as reticent to promote innovation or quirkiness as tl is.

and we would be honored to do it for you

a "rough" sketch and a few lines describing the ins and outs of what you have in mind is all we require to try to do it

alternatively a half hour on skype with someone knowledgeable will get you "hooked" on galaxy (i'm of course volunteering to help for that too)

I'm actually trying to figure that out right now...


Can probably make a custom invisible unit (make sure it's unclickable, unselectable, and untargetable) with a custom behavior that has the blinding cloud effect (a custom blinding cloud effect). Behavior should last indefinitely, and it should have a periodic effect of (Search), then (Apply) Blinding cloud affect to all units (something like that, I don't know what the Blinding Cloud effect and behavior links are).

It has to be a custom blinding cloud (search) though that affects all players (instead of enemies only). (Make sure you don't accidentally edit the original version.)

Place that invisible unit somewhere on the map.

Probably something like that. I haven't used the map editor since WoL and don't know how the HotS stuff (like Blinding Cloud) works.
