You can't make custom games online with maps downloaded outside of SC2. Search for the map on battle.net instead - Only maps on battle.net can be played online.
If you want to play it offline you can just open it with the editor, set the enemies to AIs in player properties and hit "test map"
I figured it out, in map editor you go to map, map options , and check the box to set it to melee custom map and then you can make a custom game with it.
However, after doing so, I created the custom game and got 8 people in the game and the game started and none of us had a nexus or anything, just blank... wtf?
the start locations are set in there, does it just not work?
I go to battle.net and I see no link to maps or anything. I want to play Green Valleys which is an 8 player blizzard map from Brood War.
I dont want to play with AI either, I want to play 2v2v2v2 matches on them as I did in Brood War with the uglier but functioning battle.net 1.0.
Does it have the standard "Melee Initialization" trigger? If it doesn't, create a new map, open triggers, select the only trigger that is there by default, ctrl+c, open your green valleys map, open trigger editor, ctrl+v
Press "Test Map" to make sure it worked. If it does, reupload.
I'm not entirely sure whether start locations will work properly by default if the person that made the map didn't set them up correctly (Oh, everyone will definitely spawn, but your ally might spawn in a start location on the other side of the map)
Yea I got it working perfect now!!! Now to add in some new SC2 terrain with ramps and stuff.
Everyone spawns randomly so your partner could spawn clear across the map just like in Brood War which is what I want, adds more difficulty to the 2v2v2v2.
I am looking for a temple or some sort of high ground like the one in this picture of green valleys at the top left top right and middle of this map,. Feel like I have went through everything and cannot find anything that I would be able to drop a tank on or something, currently I just raised the terrain and used cliffs but would like to use some sort of temple like in the original, know of anything?
I have just downloaded Green Valleys from here http://sc2.nibbits.com/maps/project/74788/8-green-valleys
and now I need to know how I can create a custom game using this map? I have placed the map here: C:\Users\Morketh\Documents\StarCraft II\Maps
I go to custom games in SC2, browse, and I cannot find the map...
I am trying to make a 2v2v2v2 game with green valleys map.
