The game by itself does not allow you to load a custom map. In order to do it you have to use a 3rd party map loader, edit the mpq files. It's quite painful.

I've made a Hello World map that you can launch and edit really easily in order to test the galaxy scripting features.

Download and extract SC2HelloWorld.rar
Edit the MapScript.galaxy file
Run the launch.bat
Enjoy!

The trigger debugger window is shown and give you some interesting informations.

Thanks for the .bat, smart idea. Nice job with the map, btw.

It works for me except that I get a syntax error message in the debugger screen and the message specified in the galaxy file does not get printed. Might this be related to a recent patch?

Hmm, it's working fine for me in the latest version. Have you any modified files / mpq inside your Starcraft II folder?
