Hello there! I'm well, if you didn't tell, I am new to the forums (Signed up at 10/10/11) and I may as well get some information about me out of there so people know what I'm like and all that stuff.
Anyhow, before I start rambling about anything that comes to my mind, I'll get this done with.
I love Starcraft 2, it's singleplayer is great and gripping, the base/melee multi-player is....alright I suppose, but I LOVE custom maps, I was actually thinking of making one myself, but the problem is with patience, I know I have to have patience...but I'm not the sort of type that goes into month-long commitments to maps and so on, I leave one map in development and never get back to it.
I did have an idea for a map though, If any of you played "Binders" you would know what I'm talking about, but basically, you buy units, you upgrade those units, then you send units into a mixer of sorts and they get combined, there would be loads of combinations for units and it was one of my favourite maps on WC3, It was just simply fun to get all the combinations and such.
I think I'll just try get a mechanic up to sort out that then just duplicate it to make the binding system, after that I would need to make a small arena where enemies and bosses spawn, in order to fight something, and so on.
The only bit I would have a problem with is Units, but since there won't really be heroes (Until very late in development if I get round to it) I don't need to worry about abilities for the time being.
Anyway....Here's some "Fun facts" about me:
1: I'm actually 13 years old, but I've had lots of people say I sound like a 17/18 year old.
2: I do a livestream, where I play my games whenever I can be asked.
3: I have skype and teamspeak, might get ventrilo.
4: All the maps I've tried to make so far have never been completed.
5: I play WoW. (Private AND Retail servers :D)
So....Discuss, say hello...all that sort of stuff.
Well hello there and welcome to SC2mapster. Also welcome to the club of Non-complete maps. You should check out the Tutorial Section on the forum or check out OneTwoSC Youtube Tutorials. You should be able to find all kinds of usefull information out of it. Final, learning to have patience is needed to make a good maps. I always do games or other things between the times I work on my maps. Hope this will help you. Goodluck on your map!
Hello HydraReaper! Welcome to sc2mapster!
As a welcome gift, I hereby give you the permission to buy us all a round of drinks!
Anyway, the one and only rule on this forum: Don't be stupid. And you know, follow the general common sense rules all forums have...
Check out the sticky threads in the general forums section (EU Map Night (which I hear hasn't been doing well since I was gone...), Sc2streamster), and I think the Mapster Mentoring thread was moved to tutorials, so have a look at that one as well :)
If you need help, the mapster mentoring thread has a long list of people and contact information for them (sometimes skype, email adresses, or just PMs)
Or you can post on the forums (Just post in the right section please ;) In addition to keeping us mods happy, you're more likely to get replies)
Well, I actually browsed this forum before with no account just looking at tutorials, and I know about EU map night, you host it don't you? Anyway, I'd probably join on fridays/saturdays.
Oh, and my GMT is +0, so I live in england if you diden't know.
Also, IRC chat is dead at the moment, is it my smell?
And yea, I'm supposed to host Map Night, but my computer died three weeks ago and I can't fix it for various reasons... Other computers I have available can barely play minecraft, terraria and LoL >.> If I were to join map night with one of those, I'd pretty much just be torturing everyone with lag. Plus I'd have to ask my bro to give me his comp, and well... That'll never work.
Welcome to SC2Mapster. I know the feeling of incomplete maps. Maybe you will manage to change that if the tutorials make it easier for you. And if you love custom maps you found the perfect place for you.
