Lashkor - New to Mapping

[Lashkor]

Hey all, I've decided that after a long time of thinking about it, I have to need to design a few WC3 maps of my own. (Perhaps even something more popular than DotA!) I have high aspirations.

Anyway, as I am just starting out and know just about... zero, besides my messing around with the WE in Starcraft, I was wondering if there was anything I needed to download to add to the functionality of the WE, such as the Emerald editor for the SC one, if anyone remembers it.

I went to the tools sections, but I'll be honest, most of the stuff was a bunch of gibberish to me, so kudos to anyone who helps give me a better understanding of what I'm in for.

Thanks!

Since this is your first post, I can help.

For starters, I'll move this thread to our introductions forum, that way ALL the Hive will know that you are our newest friend and can try to help.

Now that THAT's done:

Welcome Lashkor.

Some good places to start include:

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.

The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

• A few other tips that might help too:
  
  
  • Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
    
    
  • When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: the name of the thread should say just what its point is.
    
    
  • Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
    
    
  • If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help out.

At the starting stage in your life, there aren't really any great editors. There are some great ones for more advanced modders (JASSers), but they're completely useless for people using the GUI
