I am new here and I am looking for some advice to make some good/Great Starcraft 2 Maps I am a Newbie to the Galaxy Editor and the SC2 Editor. I am used to making maps with tools such as the UDK (Unreal Development Kit) and Unreal Ed.
I am a visual person more than anything and I pick up mapping tools fast.
If someone could help me with getting to know the Starcraft 2 editor or just point me in the general direction of its documentation. I would be grateful.
To be honest, as far as 'pointing you in the general direction', just load up a new map and start playing with stuff. You can change what stuff you're placing by changing the 'layer' function in the top bar, everything else should point itself out. Feel free to come back when you stumble upon any problems.

There are a couple of nice video tutorials on youtube () that you can try out. They give a first insight into the world of starcraft mapping.
And then of course we have our tutorial section (http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials). Some of these tutorials are for beginners, some for advanced mappers, but it can never be wrong to skim over it.
Edit: Eh, I've had this reply opened for at least 20 mins without sending it. Stupid me
if you wanna learn everything (rather than a certain part) of the editor, my oppinion is to decide on a project and tutorial yourself through, ask for help (with explanation as to why) when you get stuck. That's what i'm doing and i've learned SOO much. Good luck to ya :)

Reminds me. I just compared the wc3 triggers to starcraft2 triggers. My head exploded.
But about you, Great to see another newbie here. Your the first one to join after me! Congrats!
Ok, Will Do and thanks for the welcome :)

ModeratorsWe're in the process of documenting the entire Editor itself. As far as getting started with it, you'll definitely want to check out Bifuu's tutorial.
And welcome to Mapster!
