This is somewhat offtopic, but related to galaxy scripting.
Is it possible to recreate everything that the data editor does using galaxy code?
As in, circumvent the need to go through all the different unit/actor/effect/weapon menus in the editor and just create what I want by writing code?
I'm a software developer, so it's not really that daunting to write large sections of code and keep track of it. What's always kept me from developing a SC2 map is that I don't want to spend most of my time in a GUI editor going back and forth between 100 different tabs/field values instead of coding.
If so, then yea I would definitely be interested in a standalone compiler.
It isn't. Depending on your perspective. As far as the universe is concerned, "life" doesn't matter. It's just a side effect.
You *are* a slave of your brain (though that statement is misleading, because you ARE your brain, essentially).
You can want to not be a result of chemical reactions and synapses all you want, it doesn't change the reality that that *is* what you are. That feeling itself is a result of your brain and the reactions that go on inside of it every moment of the day.
I haven't been involved in the SC2 custom scene in a long time, but I used to be an avid WC3 RPG player, especially the long, "open" style RPGs with save codes, such as The Black Road.
What is the best SC2 RPG to play to get that feeling back?

Are there any APIs or tutorials around here on doing that in galaxy? Or maybe just some sample map code that writes the data's XML directly?

Looks great man. Keep it up.

So have any of the higher quality ORPGs been finished?
Or even some of the regular ones.

Thanks for all your replies!
I look forward to the release of the in progress ones!
