Woah


STARCRAFT II - MAPS AND MODS
--- DATA MODULE ---


Blizzard has finally released a new StarCraft 2 map making tutorial, and this time it is on the Data Editor. Though it isn't much more extensive than any existing tutorials on GalaxyWiki or other tutorial sites, it is a very complete explanation for performing some basic tasks in the Data Editor. It goes into detail about unit creation (including Actors and Event animations), basic custom abilities, effects, and simple weapons.



Quote
OBJECTIVE:
  • Get acquainted with the Data Module by editing existing data for units, abilities, effects, and weapons.

End Result:
  • When we finish this tutorial, we will have a modified Jim Raynor (Commando) unit with extra health, armor, different abilities, and a modified weapon.

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

If you avoided the data editor until now, go ahead and transform Raynor into "The People's Hero" along with the tutorial. :)

The tutorial is great, has many pictures and step by step explanations to create something which is beyond Starcraft Broodwar's editor capabilities.
I wish they would have published that during beta. :D

UndeadStar -- https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
