Hello guys! I would like to show you what I've been making with the Galaxy Editor so far...

After dealing with multiple weird Galaxy Editor bugs such as having all of the units models randomly being replaced by Ultralisks - true story, by the way - I managed to conclude my first SC2 map. It's a single player RPG called Khaldarys Sector.

Seeing as so many people are going oveboard with FPS and side-scrollers and everything, I've focused on something with a RPG storyline feel to it. The great challange in Khaldarys Sector is actually controlling your units - including 4 heroes that cannot die - and outsmart the mighty Zerg Swarms infesting Khaldarys Sector - Gnoll's Infestation and Xaorn Brood.

I consider the map to be 70% done right now and this alpha version features the game all the way to the first boss. Of course there's a lot to go but I think it's a funny little map so far. Well, I'd like to hear you guys opinion's on what I've done so far and what should be considered for the rest of the map...

Of course there's a lot left to be done but the main core of how things work is up and running, I hope to complete the whole thing soon - maybe even make it a campaign or come up with some online mode? Who knows. I'm having a blast either way. :)

I would love to hear your feedback and opinions!
See you!

During the intro there was no text when you had units speaking. Could be a one time thing but I hit the message log to make sure that they were saying something. (to which the message log showed that they had and it wasn't displaying on screen)

edit: it does it for all dialog so far. Running the game windowed and I see you have it set to fit aspect ratio(at least i think so) I can run another test to see if it happens full screened.

when you hit esc after the intro it sets your units back to the beginning and gives you doubles if you still have some units

first mineral patch disappears when SCV starts to mine it( the scv continues to mine the minerals but the model for them has vanished) (this is probably due to the slight incline you have placed them on)

Ultralisk regains hp a little too fast for my noob hands to kill him.

So far the map is pretty good just those few errors at this moment that I could get to / see

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
