Seeking general map editor help

So I used to make maps in BW and now I want to start creating maps in SC2. The problem is, I have no idea how to use the editor. That's why I'm seeking an assistant to help me with any of my queries (and I have lots since I want to make complex RPG maps). I am willing to pay $10 an hour through PayPal.

REQUIREMENTS:

- You need to be an expert with the Galaxy editor.
- You need to have patience to deal with tons of questions.
- You need to be good at explaining things.



None.

I'm raising the price to $20 an hour. Surely someone can help?



None.

There really isn't anyone here who extensively knows SC2's editor. Ahli does, but I think he's been busy with real life, so he wouldn't be able to help you. Why not just post questions here like usual? It'd probably be easier than "hiring" someone to teach you everything, which frankly, even if there were active people here who knew a lot about the editor, nobody would do.

I know plenty about everything besides triggers. If I knew more about those I'd do it.

Post the offer to curse. You'll definitely get a hit.

If I had time for it, and had not planned for yet another travel, I would have checked his offer up, for sure.

Pretty sure that's true.


Anyhow, if you are willing to pay that kind of money to create sc2 maps, maybe you should rather invest into courses on Unity and try to start publishing games for any platform, rather than restricting yourself to SC2.

They are far more active in SC2 than we are.

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.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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.

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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
