Hey Guys, new modder here, sort of. I'm just going to kind of introduce myself and tell you a bit about my history, so we get to know each other right? At least I'd love to get to know some of you. Having friends talk about geeky things like modding is always fun, right? :)
I used to do a lot of modding in Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars and I did some back in some of the old Age of Empires game. I did try to mod a little bit in Warcraft 3 two years ago when I first got the game(totally bummed I never heard of it till early 2010, that was the best game I had ever played) but life quickly shot that down after I tried to add it into my daily schedule. School, chores, family and etc really get in the way of things as I am sure many of you have experienced at least once before.
Umm, some of the games I've played. Heh, there has been a ton! I could list fifteen right off the bat starting with the N64. I guess I will just keep it to some of the more recent games that are probably a bit more familiar. :) I've played Shooters, RTS's, MMO's, anything you name it! I started playing shooters when one of the first Medal of Honor's came out, I think it was called Pacific Assault? After that I hadn't played any for awhile until Battlefield 2142 came out(Love you lots DICE). Then I played Modern Warfare 2 for a year before selling it, as it grew pretty boring unlike the first Modern Warfare I would go to my friends house and play for hours with him. :) Now I sit and play tons of Battlefield Bad Company 2, along with its semi-expansion, Vietnam.
When it comes to RTS"s I haven't played a ton of them I would say, I normally play them more then anything else so I rarely put them on a shelf to collect dust. I played Supreme Commander 2 when my brother owned, I don't have it but I loved that game to pieces. I also play tons of Warcraft 3, err, I should say used too now that it almost seems dead, or the 'fun' left when SC2 came out.
As main games that I play, SC2 and Minecraft. Starcraft 2 the most though, I enjoy having a friends list where I can just pick someone up and ask if their up for a game of something. :)
Things are really calming down for me now though, I am about finished with High School and almost done writing my book here which will take a huge load off of my time schedule! I'm pretty psyched for it. Now I have Starcraft 2 and have played it since the game came out here and there, but laddering quickly grew boring for me. I really find my passion and hobby in creating things, things that are a bit more rewarding then having a higher league slapped on your info page.
I'd really like to get back into the modding here, but am very unfamiliar with the SC2 Editor, I think all I can do decently is terrain. In basic I would really like to start learning the depths of the Data Editor and even the Trigger Editor. How things work, how they should be put together, etc. I wasn't going to create an account and just start reading tutorials, but there is just so many I have no idea where I should start, and on top of that, I might have questions or I may want to publish a map here(my main motive of creating a account was programming a mod for WoW on Curse.com).
So yeah, if anyone would mind pointing me towards Data and Trigger Editor tutorials that I can start with and slowly learn(preferably text tutorials, I have trouble with video tutorials, its a tad tough to follow along) and make my way up!
Welcome to sc2mapster! :D Feel free to PM with the any questions you have. I'm totally with you when it comes to sc2, though. As fun as it was for me to play ladder, it got boring after a week or two. I can promise you the editor is one of the most powerful tools out there. And its fairly simple once you get used to it. You will find a introductory tutorial in my signature (right below this). It's pretty old and I didn't quite know how to format it and make it look nice...but the info is still correct.
