Surprisingly, nobody ever says their goals for GalaxyEdit. With that said, I'm curious- What do you consider the "Holy Grail" of SC2.

Mine is figuring out an aesthetic effect i did 2 days ago.
I messed around with the editor until i noticed something with a marine i moved. For every movement it made, it left a "trail" of some sort. So, when it walked it left a trail of where it has been.
I intend to figure how i accomplished this, and perhaps include more functionality to it. Maybe make the trail solid and create a PvP map of Tron.
If I figure this out i will sure to let you guys know ;).

EDIT:
I just realized another use of it while working on it right now. It could be used in an SC2 mafia map! e.g: Remains hidden unless someone "investigates" an area ;)

Maybe something to do with unit foot prints?

Anyways, my goal it to make a good micro map. And for it to become popular and earn money. If your map is earning $$, you know it's good.

I don't know about my highest goal, but my next goal is to make a custom ability.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

A bigger milestone would be understanding the Events.

I think, though, that I'll have to understand events in the process of creating an ability.

A racing game that rivals F-zero

But since the fixed camera angle lags the shit out of the game...
maybe a Racing game that rivals Micro Machines instead X.X

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
