Personally, I am. There's going to be a wave of map makers that move from wc3 to sc2. Most of them will be idiots who are like 'WTF THE GUI IS DIFFERENT THIS SUCKS' without realizing it's a different engine, with different codes.

It will be interesting to see how many 'dota' games are created in the first week of sc2's release.

If you are moving from Warcraft3 to Starcraft2 , please make a topic with the current game(s) that you are working on, please make sure they are unprotected. Those will greatly help new map makers, and since you are moving to sc2 you won't notice who steals your credit.

I wonder how good the programming language will be, and how much it limits people...

I'm sorry but that is the dumbest thing anyone could do. You still want credit even if you don't play that game...

I really don't care if the program is different. I'll just learn it. Besides with summer around the corner. I got almost nothing but time.

Woah people, the release date is not yet announced, not to mention that we aren't even sure if it will include anything more advanced than a terrain editor.

Yeah, it's probably going to be an editor at least as advanced as WC's (at some point). However it's too early at this point to simply say that you'll move to it as soon as possible.

I'm actually more interested to see where this forums takes it. Will there be new forums? Essentially a duplicate of the WE Help areas for the SE Help? Because if the editor is as advanced as the Wc3 one (compared to Sc1) then quite a few people will use it.

Yah but I think that Starcraft is going to stay as basic as it was before. Maybe the World Editor will be better but there wont be any heros or stuff like that.

I will try to balance both (scifi and medieval games are WAY different, even if the map editors, interface, etc are really similar) on my tab, as WC3 never gets old.

I will begin SC2 mapping right away, though. By "right away" I mean as soon as I get it, which may not be "right away".

I'm not sure, it depends on what Starcraft 2 offers.

Is there even much difference between Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2? They both look like a cartoon-cutscened-threedimensional-game. Anyway I think Warcraft 3 has more possibilities, because Starcraft 2 takes a place to the future.

A bit off topic but have you seen the editor for Crysis? It looks freaking sweet :D it will probrably be real hard though
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0QeUcxgLxxE

I can really see SC2 as having either an editor only as powerful as wc3, or way to powerful that its not easy to learn (like I did... I didnt even know about forums when I started :p)

Needless to say, Im probrably done mapping. Too much work, not enough reward eh

Cant compete with DotA, watch it move on to starcraft 2 -_- hope they dont allow you to make heros at all!

    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
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
