I have no idea how to use the editor. even after all the years of using the first one. Please, if u can help me out i would greatly appreciate it! :D
need someone who can help me make the terrain, get units that arent on the default settings, make upgrades and special attacks. Possibly even 3rd person or 1st person view and maybe some unit behaviors/models. Doesnt need to be too complex though, it would still be very fun in RTS view.
Please, if you are very experienced with the map editor, message me. if i can trust u to help me i will collaborate with u so we can do this! I may even start working on it myself if i can figure out how to work it soon
To be honest -and not to turn you away- from my experience this community is all about helping everyone. Though problems to solutions are often given, the overall goes is to help each map maker grow and learn. My first suggestion to this end would be to watch and read a lot of tutorials. From there I would suggest making a simple map -zerg swarm for instance-. The overall experience will be far more rewarding I promise you!
As for getting help for your map, I would again suggest expanding your own knowledge base and skills (possibly before acquiring help). Though no one expects anyone to handle every aspect of making a very involved map, it is often expected that everyone contributes their fair share of a project. So, along this line of thought, try joining on a team as an ambitious and wide eyed map maker who is all too eager to soak up the vast amounts of experience around them. ;)
One other note: trust is generally freely given here. Though not everyone talks about their projects openly, I resolved to trust anyone with interest in joining me in my efforts without knowing them first. That is one of the hurdles with anonymity that we each have to overcome. So, for your collaboration, if you do find anyone to join you it would be better to accept them and not look a gift horse in the mouth.
So, play with GE for endless hours and enjoy! Best of luck in your endeavor.
If the Poster isn't willing to take the time to at least learn some of GE and invest his own time into making his idea a realization... it is unlikely that anyone will do it for him..
You should take some time to learn the editor and choose one area to become adept or an expert in... then finding a team to help you will be much easier as you posses a skill to make your idea a reality rather then just an idea.
maybe you should join a team working on another project and learn all you can from them, then once you've learned enough, maybe people will help
even if you at least say that you've tried and its really confusing and your a work in progress or something, basically saying you know nothing and havent really tried isnt gonna get anyone

Simple rule of thumb...
