A simple multiplayer mod with some units from the campaign must be possible.
Lets start from scratch:
New -> Extension Mod -> Dependencies (Legacy of the Void campaign).
If I look for the warp gate in the data browser, it shows me four warp gates (void, swarm, liberty, void_campaign).
I don't even know which one I actually use when I test it ingame.
Is there a tutorial for setting up a test map for an extension mod? Can I test it with a regular melee map?
I've added a build sentry ability to the terran scv and it doesn't show up, like everything I do gets ignored.
Anyone out there who could make a small video tutorial on how to setup and test an extension mod and maybe include the build dragoon ability?
From that point I could go on and do my stuff.
It's killing all good spirit when you wanna start something and even the start fails.
Unfortunately, that's what I've already tried. If I make a new extension mod, the editor says that I can build all units from the campaign, when I jump into the test map, it only shows a few of these units.
I went through the Galaxy Wiki and couldn't find a tutorial on how to set up an extension mod.
It's really simple.
I only want to make a mod where I can build dragoons and reaver and other units in a multiplayer match, no big deal.
When I know more about the editor, I would try to work on some more unique things but I wanna start it simple.
I wanna make a multiplayer mod that uses the classic melee maps and some content of the campaign.
I know that I need to create an extension mod but what dependencies do I use. When I select void multiplayer and campaign, the editor says that both can't be used at the same time.
When I try to test my changes, I need to choose a test map but I can't find any melee maps in the maps folder.
I downloaded a units test map and tried it with that but it seems that all my changes don't have an effect.
If I test it with a custom map I made, the game doesn't start like a regular match but like a match that I won.
Argh..this really bugs me. Sorry for my newbie questions :(
Would be great if you could help me with that.
Also youtube is a bad source for tutorials, not a single one on how to setup a mod.
Thanks but this is almost useless. It's more about map making than anything else. I need to know the basic setup for a multiplayer mod that is not based on map making but tech tree alteration.
Sorry for my noob question. I'm a total beginner for SC2 modding but I would like to make a multiplayer mod that uses the known SC2 skirmish maps but with different tech trees for the factions. I would like to add units and structures from the campaign (like the dragoon or the impaler colony) to the regular tech trees.
Is this even possible? Would be great if someone could explain it to me or point me in the right direction :)

This makes no sense at all.

Hi guys,
I wanna make a multiplayer mod that uses the classic melee maps and some content of the campaign.
