TheAlmaity - you a good guy - thx. That's exactly what I wanted

@Kueken531: Go

Also if you have very specific thoughts about which features should be implemented, you can always try to create such a map yourself :)

Yap - that's the whole point of making this thread - unfortunately I am really really new to creating maps (as to say: I am a total noob ;-)) So far I've made 2 Melee maps. My question was if someone is there willing to help me creating at least income def as it was in it's original way.

@houndofbaskerville: Go

AWESOME! Thank you very much!! I did search TL, but i always used starting locations - lol^^

@TheAlmaity: Go

OK, thx - at least I found out now, that there are Team Options :-D Im still not sure how I set this correctly - so far I've done

4 Starting Locations + 4 Players (each Player starting on random Location); 1 Team assigned to Starting Location 1 and 2; 1 Team assigned to Starting Location 3 and 4;

So I will check it out and give an update

EDIT: so - it didnt work :-(

@TheAlmaity: Go

Well, I only have the option to fix players onto either a starting location (1,2,3,4) or spawn randomly - whereas I want both in a degree. I dont want preset spawning locations, but I dont want the players to start at random locations where they could end up at close positions...

Hi, i just made a 1v1 Melee map but with 4 Starting Locations - I dont want the players to start close positions - like they do in MLG map versions I want the players to start on far postions but randomly. How do I do this???? Pls, has anyone a solution?

BTW is there a section where it is more appropriate to ask questions like these? I am new here ;-)

@UltimateIlluminator: Go

Great, thaaaaaanks - I will check it out =)

@DogmaiSEA: Go

Thanks, how can I make it public ;-)

@GizmoPT: Go

Wrong, they arent done. As I wrote earlier - some of them are published but missing key features which completely * up the game mechanics. One example: where is the "Boom" in Desert Strike?

The next problem is: there is a map called income defense but is completely different from the original map...

@PatchOne: Go

Thank you for your quick answer - I do understand the facts you have been stating. However - I really believe, that those old maps can be awesome in Starcraft 2 and get back to a famous status as they were in Broodwar - I have many friends who share my feeling about those old maps - and as I see it you do to (otherwise you wouldn't be creating Tank Def - which was awesome too). Given the fact that almost all Broodwar players also bought SC2 - maybe there is a slight chance that players want to play those maps again.

Anyways - my request remains - I really would like to create Income Defense in it's old way - anybody who wants to do this also - please contact me ;-)

Edit: By the way - Desert Strike has gotten popular again - its top 5 in custom maps - so there ARE game mechanics which make it addictive...

Hi all, I am new to creating SC2 maps. So far I have made one 1v1 Melee map. I have published it in "locked mode". I can host the map without problems. But my friends can't - the get an error trying to host.

The error is as followed:

"Map hasn't been made available yet"

So my question is, has this something to do with Locked/Unlocked and if not - how can I make the map available to everybody?

Thx for any suggestions in advance :-)

Hi all, im new to this Forum - im also new to creating maps. Anyways - back in Broodwar there were a couple of fun games which really were famous. So far I have been searching for equivalent maps in SC2 but none of them is quite as good as the old maps :-(

Those are the maps:

Desert Strike (i know there is a version out, but it misses some key features and stuff) - Lurker Defense and Evolves

and my absolute favourite map: Income Defense (I prefered the version 5.0)

So - I really would like to create Income Defense as it was back in BW - does anyone know this map and further - does anyone wanna help me creating this map with it's original game mechanics??
