Thanks very much, i'm currently going through ALOT of tutorials/videos and so forth, so much to learn :) Thanks for the link, i'll get to following it soon enough.

Again, you're quite kind to reply :)

I'm not sure on the best place to start really, I want to just jump in and make a few spells, but i feel that my lack of experience with this and my creativity will get the better of me. Could you suggest a tutorial that talks about the basics - videos are preffered, But i will take a look at the wiki, it seems a bit...Complicated :\

thanks again

That's a shame really, i think it would be quite beneficial, especially for creating large RPG style maps or even CO-OP campaigns, just my thoughts anyway.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply :)

As i'm very very new to the Galaxy Editor 'm not really sure what all those terms mean. I've mainly been focusing on Terraining and now trying to learn Data editting, which i think wont be to difficult.

Hopefully after i've learned a bit more by creating my own data spells and start to learn Triggering i will understand what i can and cannot manipulate :)

I'm currently learning some tutorials and will hopefully be able to be creative.

Thanks again

On a side note of this, is it possible to say - copy a maximum size map, and paste it to a new map at a smaller resolution?

Thanks, the little "101" you gave on each type of data that effects spells was quite useful. A thing i was wondering, if it's possible, is to change the effects of current spells within the game, such as the "psionic storm? that the protoss use, possibly making it affect a large area - increasing the visual size and increasing the speed it "pulses" as well as the colours and so forth?

thanks

Thank you very much dude. I'll take a look at those and see what i can learn. My apologies for posting it in the wrong section, i wasn't entirely sure where to post it.

I forgot i had watched the sc2streamster VoD's a few times :)

Thanks again

I'm not quite sure if this is a data or trigger thing so thought it easier to post it here. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hey guys, i've been checking the tutorials section today and such - it might be my 3 hours sleep or something - but i can't seem to find any new tutorials that show me how to create new spells from scratch and ways to manipulate the spell effect that it produces.

I should probably be using the search function, but hopefully will get some useful help from people that do this kind of thing more often on the best start up tutorials to the more advanced over time.

Thanks in advance

@TacoManStan: Go

Hehe thanks. I've upload a few dodgy screenshots. They're quite basic since i didn't know if people prefer up close and personal screenies.

vantagal

Thanks for the comments so far.

@Telthalion I agree with the land being flat, i have alot of ideas for it still to make it feel more "alive" - The lack of doodads will be addressed ofc, i didn't really get to the top side of the map to add the things i wanted. I'm trying to refrain from making it like there's been alot of human activity on the landscape.

@Mozared The map is pretty large, and i'm not sure if people prefer showcase screenshots or just a few key points that i like. As i'm new to this tool i wouldn't expect any amazing lighting play or the works, but i will upload some soon.

@BloodClud Thanks, i'm pretty useless with the water feature and didn't get the idea i wanted for the central piece to work really. I have alot to work on with the mountains really, i want to add some form of temple - eque feature into it, but not sure how really.

I will upload some screenies soon.

thanks

Hey guys, i've been lurking the forums for ages, been getting a bit of advice here and there. As such, i've just finished my studies and finally had the time to get to work in the terrain area.

I have alot to add to it i feel, i just messed around with alot of random stuff.

critics welcome.

vantgal

I know the map isn't complete, it's mainly a showcase ofc. I have alot of smoothing to do around the edges especially. My water technique is lacking. I'm very new to this tool :(

Never mind i figured it out. I have to actually post first, then attach the file :\

utter fail on my end

vant

Hey guys, i wanted to make a post in the Terraining section and upload my near complete map to get some feed back, but i;m not sure how to attach the file to my post. And any files i've seen people attach lately have been linking me to a blank page with lots of weird symbols on.

any help appreciated.

vantagal

I'd like to put quite a bit of effort into it. As i may have mentioned, I'm studying Game Design and Development come September and i feel this will allow me get a head start and expand on my original ideas. I really like the ideas of the "WTE's. I may join the current one, but I'd like to get a bit more knowledge for terraining such as camera angles, lighting, foliage and the extra detail.

I'm currently going through the VoD's on your stream, will hopefully be able to learn alot of the basics.

Thanks again for the help.
