Okay I want to make a map and most of the map is stuff that needs to be made in the data editor.
I've looked over a tun of tutorials and every single one of them I come across has problems
they either don't tell me what I am trying to figure out
or they are out of date
or they expect me to know stuff that I just don't know
So I was wondering if someone could like chat with me on skype or bnet for a little bit and help walk through making a unit from scratch without duplicating another unit. Just like help walk me through it and answer questions as I get to them. If I can create one unit I'll be able to do the rest on my own I just need to go through one unit from start to finish.
Okay there is a map I really love called Custom Hero Defense that the author has already said he will no longer work on and its been over a year since he said that and it appears to be more than true. I REALLY was hopping to find a way to get my hands on the map but it appeared to be impossible. So looks like I have to recreate it from scratch
So where should I start?
Like I could start with the terrain but then not sure where to go from there what would be the best thing to tackle first?
Okay so I do not see the map in the list anywhere. Would it be under the same name as it shows in Battle.net? Or does this just mean that it is locked?
I've worked with the WC3 Map Editor and the SC1 Map Editor and I've played with the SC2 map editor a lot but not making much. I'm a programmer so I'm very familiar with the idea of how everything works. I just need to look over it for a few days and I can sort it all out.
And can I make an identical map... I duno only way to find out would be to try but leaving that as a last resort
I'm trying to open a map. I click open go to battlenet tab. Then I can click anything or not click anything in this window. then I click login. I type in my username and password. I press connect. My username pops up for a second it disapears. The list starts to populate and during this it just stops and goes non responsive.
Okay ran into a problem every time I click open and go to the battlenet and try to login. The program goes to not responding. Any idea why it might be doing this?
Thanks just after I asked the question I figured it out.
As for someone asked "do I have the best interests" I wish to fix some bugs currently in the map that showed up on a blizzard patch. I also after this wish to change some of the options to GUI rather than selection through buildings. Just tweaks that will make that map far more user friendly. Maybe add more content if I feel I can do it and keep it balanced.
Why not make a new map from scratch? Well basically =\ I don't know how to. I can easily rip apart something look through it and figure out whats wrong. Starting from scratch however has never been my strong point unless I've already worked on something else to see how its put together. Which if worst comes to worst I'll have to do just will take me quite a few months which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Okay so the map maker for Custom Hero Defense said over a year ago he would no longer patch or work on the game. He also refused to hand the game over to anyone. I would love to patch this map and fix it as its my favorite map in starcraft to this day. Is there ANY way for me to get the map files and patch it myself?

Okay so I have created a new unit
Now I want to give that unit an actor a foot print spells and more.
I semi figured out abilities and buttons but for the life of me I can't figure out how to add the rest especially an actor
