Hey everyone, I'm very new to the forums and even newer to the SC2 Map Editor so sorry if this isn't the right place to post this question.
I am looking to editing a fastest map possible to include Starcraft 1 units (lurkers, Valkyrie, etc) but I can't figure out how to add them into the mix at all. Can anyone help me out in getting SC1 units into really any kind of SC2 map I make?
Not quite sure what you're expecting, but you surely can't import SC1 units into SC2. You can use many of the SC1 units remade for the SC2 campaign, and some units like lurkers are available in the editor even though they're not used in the game. You have to search through your unit data to find these units. For things like valkyrie, you'd have to essentially rename a viking or use one of the mercenary viking models. You can probably find other threads about how to make projectiles that behave like the valkyrie, but that's getting into a lot more effort that it sounds like you want to do here.
What SkrowFunk said - there's no way to import units directly from SC1 to SC2. If you want exact replicas of the units from SC1, you'll have to copy over the stats by hand, and find custom models for the units that are missing. If you're looking for a place to start, try Jones313's and Ultraling's remake of the SC1 campaigns:

This might take a bit longer than as "fast as possible".
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm wanting to do exactly the same thing.
The thing is I've seen so some units like the Dragoon, Reaver and Guardian around the place a few times. I was certain that these models\units had already been designed by Blizzard?
I've found a Mod or two by other players that have these units in them, but I really don't want to go ripping off other peoples hard work. (Although I'd absolutely give credit wherever it is due).
Is there a one-stop place to get all the missing StarCraft 1/Brood War units??
Isn't the SCBWmod open source? I got my SC1 units from there and many others did as well. Never heard anyone complain about people using this mod. But there seem to be multipe groups that try to improve on the current models as much as possible.
I guess I'm still unaware of a lot of the content out there.
I find searching for maps and assets difficult as I can't seem to search for maps or assets containing a particular text string.
I'm still very new to all this. Still trying to wrap my head around the sheer complexity of the map editor.
Although I'm very attentive to detail and like to see things through, so I believe I'll be able to complete something decent in time :)
Edit: Quick question. What is the process of pulling unit data from one mod into another mod?

Thanks for that Outsider.
