Convert Map to Mod

[hipnos]

Hi, someone knows how can I transform my map into a Mod???? !_!

 

[Dr Super Good]

You can not. Maps have a playfield stuff like terrain, preplaced objects and triggers while mods only have data and imports.

You could logically export those components into a brand new mod and publish that.

This is my problem. I remove all but the terrain (because I cant) from my map and save it as SC2Assets, then I rename the folder to SC2Mod, and then I can use that folder as a mod.

When I place the Mod's stuff in a new map I can see all the thing in the Editor, but when I launch the map all the custome models are white semispheres and there is no custome sound or terrain textures, all is white...

I tried to create the mod from 0 but the same happens... T_T

 

[Dr Super Good]

You need to create the mod in the editor otherwise it is usless to man or beast.

Go to file then new and you should be given the option to make a mod or a map. Choose a mod.

 

[hipnos]

Yes, i do that and the same happens...T_T

 

[Dr Super Good]

Did you import the mod into the map you are testing via dependiencies?

 

[hipnos]

of course, in the editor I can see ALL, the units, the doodads, all, but ingame nothing...

 

[Rispetto]

K what he means is to make the mod, you create new, then select mod. Save that mod, then import it to a new map.

Do not save the map as a mod, for it will not work. You need to create the mod as a mod file from the get-go.

 

[hipnos]

Yes, and I already said that I tried to create the mod as a mod from 0 !_! and the same happens.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Did you move it to the top of the dependiencies list? If your testing online it must also be published along with the map.

 

[hipnos]

This mod will never be in battle.net because of the size, and yes, I tried to place it on the top of the dependencies but doesn't work T_T

 

[Dr Super Good]

Multiplayer maps have to reference a published mod, otherwise they are restricted to very limited singleplayer.

Also make sure your mod does not reference two conflicting mods. For example your mod must not be dependant on both the "Liberty (Campaign)" (and its extension Story) mod and the "Liberty Multi (Mod)" mods. Both of those extend the "Liberty (Mod)" and so can not be loaded at the same time (and infact stop the loading of any mods after that point).

Is your map from before or after the full release of starCraft II?

 

[mrzwach]

Did you copy all the models and such (in the data editor)? It might cause a problem if you don't.

 

[hipnos]

Well, I removed the Liberty Multiplayer Mod from my mod, now it only has the Liberty as the dependency. The same happens, I can see the models in my editor but ingame they are white semi spheres, the map's dependencies are Liberty and my mod. I tried too creating the mod without dependencies but one more time the same happens.

I'm begining to hate Blizzard because of this, they give us a tool where all is hide or you simply can't do it...I only need to fix that thing to continue my proyect ><!!

By the way, thank you all for trying to help me.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Um are those models WoW ports???

WoW ports violate your SC2 terms of use and thus are not supported by the game in any way. I say it is likely that the exporter you used is broken so although they work in the editor they do not ingame due to some error in the models. Eithor that or you set them up incorrectly.

Try using a model designed and made for SC2 in a mod and see if it works.

 

[hipnos]

I doubt that i'm violating something...there is no word about this from Blizzard so...
By the way, the models are fine, you can see it in the first map of my project

I'm trying to remake the WC3 campaign so I need to fix this shit T_T to continue the proyect.

I also have this problem, that mod imports currently dont work in maps, but I know that it worked in the beta, where I often used imports in mods...

I guess it's impossible to use mod imports ingame in the current game version and we will have to wait for a fix ._.
