Just wanting to share a little amateur map making. Hope it's not too sloppy or nooby. :D
Also I couldn't find some kind of .smc to .bmp maker thing, only hundreds of programs that did the exact opposite.

The sword and the faith

Get a better picture and I'll analyze it for you. Use SCMDraft 2 to save the image, then open it in something like Paint.NET, resize it, and post it here.

Maps too tight and you aren't going to fit anymore than 4 players on a 128x128. Hell, most (2)s are 128x128.

Yeah, I've always noticed she was claustrophobic. I suppose I could edit it to be 4 instead of 6. I suppose 4 player maps are more common anyhows. :P
Thanks for gandering. :D

Hello

this map is cool :)



Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.

There are many existing maps who look like this one, but nice to start ^^
try to make more special things like bigger ramps or longer bridges (with scmdraft) and put eventually some neutral buildings or units (DTs are nice ^^) to block. (to set neutral unit/buildings into the map you have to place unit SPRITES)
otherwise you will not see them in a MP map.

NudeRaider -- Oh_Man
Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider yeh thts straight up cheating
the mutas yes, the wraiths probably not. Have you even watched the video? ;)

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
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.
yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities
[10:09 am]
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
[2026-9-23. : 2:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[2026-9-22. : 12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[2026-9-22. : 8:48 am]
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.
