We got our hands on the editor. See videos and screenshots in exclusivity!

How about posting some screenshots of the script editor or dataeditor?

Kinda funny that the editor looks like a reskinned of the WarCraft III editor.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Looks nice, well it better be a reskinned WE than a reskinned CE. Isn't it better when they make the triggers kinda like in WE? Much easier to use. Ofc I'd love to see an option to be able to have a unit loaded into a transport from the editor, not have to create variables because the silly editor cant remember after 5 seconds what was the last created unit... I can list so many idiotic things of World Editor for all these years never improved that make me launch a missile at that editor.

Moar!

The ending shows how great the object editor is, and it also shwos that the trigger editer might be the same. http://www.sc2mapster.com/announcements/official-galaxy-editor-part-2/

object editor looks pwnage!
Seems to be quite a noob friendly editor, but also a mighty one for advanced users!
Can't wait to have it D:

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yeah. I like that its similar to the WE so theres a smaller learning curve.

 

[Ralle]

Embeds ftw

I really hope they are making it themselves this time so the mac version won't crap on us again.

 

[Vengeancekael]

lol it really looks like the w3 we

Let the terraining madness commence!

Well I just sat thru a patch on the beta, no editor though unless this was some minor one.

That or I just haven't gotten on my laptop to play the beta recently, although I could have sworn I did yesterday lol

On our rival site you can read about how to get the editor now:

Is it the full editor? Or still the one that doesn't have all the stuff available yet that we've seen?

Edit: Eh it still looks like the leaked one is a bit buggy according to what some have said on there, think I'll wait it out today to see if we get an actual release from the patch before I go and do that

 

[The World Is Flat]

yes, i think blizzard is going to give it to us todah.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

yes, i think blizzard is going to give it to us todah.

Then I guess I'll play MW2 for a few hours and check back on the beta and see what happens

oh and to GUI users: same old boring GUI, plus it's not implemented for BETA, only galaxy accepted for the time being:

EDIT: it appears that the garbage collector, only collects some types, you still need to delete some manually.

Rofl, 5:08, dancing zealot!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Damn, no GUI? at least the data editor is functioning right?

The GUI editor was there.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Its not in the beta.

and i bet it is not THE SAME. blizz said it wanst by a long shot

 

[BlinkBoy]

now there are 2 editors: an script editor and a tirgger editor, the first is functional and the other is functional but as a dummy. There are no GUI tablets implemented yet, just code.

EDIT: also i read somewhere that it allows you convert SC1 and War3 maps into galaxy maps.

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Blizzard stated that the purpose of releasing the Galaxy Editor for Beta was, aside from having custom maps available for people at launch, was for people to learn the programming language. Leaving out GUI makes sense to that goal. Also, GUI likely isn't done and is the last thing they will work on with the editor.

I always found GUI useful for simple stuff. It was useful to do lots of 'simple stuff' really fast which is needed on a big map. But making an epic map with a beta editor would... not be wise. I just hope we can figure out the scripting in order to make it do what we want it to do. All we have are melee maps for examples and that isn't much.

The 'convert maps' from War 3 and Starcraft is interesting but that has to be limited only to terrain. With both games having entirely different sets of units, there is no way any map, other than basic melee, can be converted unless Blizzard has become magical.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

Theres a breaking news popup on the title screen in the beta talking about a service update coming soon, could this be it??

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Awwwwwww good. The triggers are like war3 it seems. This time im not notepad editing until I see the editor. But anyway, what better example than WE for interface? WE interface was nice.

 

[redmarine]

Its not in the beta.

Oh right, I skipped the first minute or so if the video. My mistake.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

Can't connect now, so looks like they're updating, pray for the patch and GE!

 

[Amigurumi]

[The World Is Flat]

[Sgt. Johnson]

[The World Is Flat]
