I'd like to create a Mod (not a Map) for a Map I'll later create. There should be custom Units, predefined triggers and actions, etc.
But how can i test the Mod ? Uploading it, creating a Map and add the Mod as a dependency seems too complicated to me. Isn't there an easier way ?
I'd just need to place a Unit onto the Terrain in the Mod, but that's not possible.
OMFG, dude I am kinda not so hot with computers themselves, so my brain doesnt think filepaths and stuff like that. I cant tell you how many times I tried putting my maps name in that section of the preferences to try and launch the mod within that map but from the mod, and it never would work right so i figured I was just wrong and that default map thing wasnt for launching maps from mods. Thanks so much for clearing that up, I had totally given up a long time ago, and now I can work so much faster, and all I had to do was move the map file from Maps > Test to just the Maps folder lol.

Hi,

Thank you, Niklas
Not sure if there is a better way, but this is how I do it
First, save your mod under Program Files > StarCraft II > Mods
Then, create a map, add your mod as a dependency, and save it under Program Files > StarCraft II > Maps
Finally, in the Editor, go to File > Preferences > Test Document. Enter the name of the map (xxx.SC2Map) to the "Default Map" field
Now, you can test the mod locally
