This post made me smile. I don't know very much about the editor and I don't have time to devote to this kind of thing, but I wish you good luck! Looking forward to whatever maps you and your eventual team make! =D
Your Hero Line Wars map in WC3 was fun and the SC2 one looks like it's coming along nicely. =)

Hey.
I am looking for some assistance in developing maps. I maintained a warcraft map for quite some time together with a very good friend of mine, and it turned out to work very well. He did quit mapping, though (and most pc activity for that matter), so I am all on my own now :(
Well, not that I am in absolutely desparate need of a team, though. I do like to develop a map alone, but I liked the company of my friend in this as well. I did most of the coding, but he provided me with constant feedback, did most of the artist's work, advertized and spread out the map and provided me with fresh and creative ideas as well as motivated me.
Due to this, the teamwork improved the quality of the map a lot.
I would like to establish a similar teamwork once again. I like small teams, so I look for 1-2 nice people, preferably german or at least EU, who would like to spend some time with me developing maps.
Superb mapping skills are not a requirement (I consider myself fairly decent in most aspects of the editor and am able and willing to do most of the hard work), however at least some knowledge, what the editor is capable of, would be nice.
It would be nice, of course, if you have some useful skills I lack, for example creative ideas (this is actually the most important part, I lack good ideas), some good sense for terraining (I suck at this quite a lot), maybe some picture and video editing, for example for a loading screen and advertizing videos. Also some available free time for testing maps would be nice.
However, the skills are a little secondary overall. Most important thing would be, that we come along nicely and have a kind of good athmosphere (am I being naive here? ;) )
Like stated, I am capable of doing most of the work. I am fairly decent with the data and trigger editor as well as galaxy scripting, can do some basic picture editing (for creating/colorizing simple icons or some texture modifications for units), I can record sc2 footage for videos at high quality SC2 settings and 720p, however I suck at editing it :p
My current project is a HeroLineWars - Style Map (Thread), so some love for such a map would not harm either. I would like to focus on this map first, however, if the team works well, the collaboration is not meant to be limited to this one project.
So, if this sounds nice to you, feel free to contact me. Leave me a PM or a message in this thread. Examples of your work are not required (since good mapping skills are not an absolute necessity ;) ), however they cannot harm as well.
Note that the most important thing for me would be, that we come along well. If I do not have the feeling it will work, I will work alone again or search another one (I am a quite strange person, actually, please do not be offended if I do not come along nice with you ;) )
For communication: I use Skype a lot, but other platforms are fine as well (icq/irc/ts etc etc).
I am looking forward to work together with you.
