Yup, that's correct! Interested in learning about or furthering SC2 Map making? Myself and a few others over at Curse's new Mapping website, http://www.sc2mapster.com, have a ton of the Galaxy API documented as well as some XML Modding documentation. In addition, we have quite a few projects that have already begun. As of right now, Mapster has achieved a few "world firsts", if you will.

Currently, Mapster is the first and only website to offer a Custom Tower Defense Map, created by our very own.
http://sc2mapster.com/maps/mapster-td/

We also have the first and only Custom Tileset:
http://sc2mapster.com/assets/coastal-tileset/

Now on to what most of you are probably looking here for; the Map Editor. Our Editor, dubbed MilkyWayEdit, can do the following:

  • Edit all Map Info/settings including Player Info (race, position, color)
  • Edit Galaxy files
  • Edit all GameData XML files
  • Place and edit Units
  • View 3D Unit-Models

You can view it in action here.


If you're interested, join us in the Mapster Forums or on IRC at chat.freenode.net:6667 #sc2mapster.

Your map editor thing doesn't have syntax highlighting.

Yeah, that's on our to-do list. Keep in mind, it's in development, :p. Our main priorities was getting it to load the galaxy files first, and then working on editing all data.

The program doesn't launch SC2. It'll crash (at least it does for me).

Odd, what error message do you receive? You may need to run MWE in Administrative Mode. It checks the registry for the correct SC2 filepath.

I get:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

The system cannot find the file specified.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Running as Administrator does nothing.

Edit: Looking in the settings file, it seems that this program doesn't automatically update the settings...

Edit2: After fixing paths in settings.txt, I get: You cannot specify more than one file path as a command-line argument from LazyTown Loader.

Well, the settings.txt file is only there if the Editor cannot read the registry properly. That also shouldn't happen though. I'll look into it, thanks.

When exactly do you receive this, btw?

Sixen, you're that person who is in the Tech Forums in Battle.net?

I'm interested. Going to look at it, after breakfast.

    that sucks i bet they are expensive

    Not really
  • Varine Varine:
    The entire hot end is like 20 dollars, I just can't get anymore until next week
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
