I would like to mod SC2 so that you can play melee games with more casual controls.
I have years of programming experience, have dabbled with Unity, dabbled with WC3 years ago, and I know that SC2 allows for custom mods as opposed to maps, so I figured I'd investigate this.
I have found that what I'm looking for is an "Extension Mod", but thus far I've found little to no documentation on how to make them.
I started a new Extension Mod in Galaxy Editor and decided to immediately save (seems weird that it doesn't prompt for a name and save for you upon creation), but it thew an error:
Local file is not available (Core: a required object could not be found):
Unable to save file (Core: a required object could not be found):
/Users/Taylor/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft II/Interfaces\/Casual.SC2Mod.temp/GameData.version
I checked and this folder exists, but appears to be empty:
The one slash facing the wrong direction right after Interfaces jumps out at me as something that might be a bug in the editor.
Is there a specific directory where I should save this? It defaulted to /Users/Taylor/Documents/ so I just accepted that figuring it must be okay if it's the default.
I am running OS X 10.11, El Capitan Developer Beta 3, if that's relevant.
