we are creating a Control Group Trainer. Atm it is an Arcade map.
I asked myself if it is possible to convert it later to a Mod which is playable on all maps? If not, is there a resource where I can see how different/difficult it is to create it as a Mod in the first place?
You'll need to save your map as a sc2 component file instead of a map file. Then create a new mod with whatever name you want, and copy the Base.SC2Data folder and enXX.SC2Data (XX is whatever server localization you're in, for me US) as well as any files you have imported yourself from the converted map folder and paste them into the new mod folder. Then you should be able to open the new component file you created and it should have all of your info except terrain and maybe publishing info.

Thanks.
Make sure to make a backup before trying.
