Hey everyone,
is there some tool that permits us to open two maps at once? For example to compare the different triggers or the edit in the Data.
Would be awesome if you knew of such a tool.
Thanks,
Lennywing
/btw. do we need to buy sc2 to get the GE when it's released?
Not that I know of, yet. Some people have just been opening up two GE's on separate computers, :(. You can however, compare the MapScript.galaxy files, though it's all in Galaxy.
Yes, in order to use GE when SC2 is released, you need to have purchased the game.
You can have several maps open at once and easily swap between them through 'Window' menu, just like in WE. Also, to see triggers from 2 maps at the same time I usually take a screenshot of the first and paste it in a quick program like Irfanview and place it next to the trigger editor with the other map's triggers.

You don't need to have 2 accounts to get the different languages available.
Maybe it'll work on your computer but on mine not, I downloaded english after french and installed it on another Windows on another disk on same computer, and then started it from the first Windows to publish maps as french can't do it, and when one is started, if you try to start the other, it does nothing.
Or... you can use virtual machine, but that would be a bad solution as I don't know if any virtualizer include advanced 3D elements, and you would need a good computer for that.

We can't even run the English and French version of the editor simultaneously.

i saw a program that did this on demonoid, search for "Act" it was released the same day i dont know what its called...
your gunna have to do a bit of searching
torrents are koo.
Ya um.. like what Qancakes said, open as many maps as you want and then browse through them via the window menu in the tool bar.
Orly? That sucks.. Good thing you said this, I was about to DL the EU version since I have two accounts...

The window method is still much slower than having two editors would be.

Thanks for your answers everyone.
@Qancakes: Go
How can I open several maps with the GE?
@XYZMuffin: Go
Thanks for your advice, I'll have a look at that.
@Danicela: Go
Isn't virtual machine like a "second/parallel windows"?
For copying custom data from the data editor, there is a workaround I found out: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/6184-xml-data-modding-and-porting-mod-campaign-data-without/
GE can open multiple maps at once
You select which map you want to view through the "Window" menu at the top of the editor
