why do so many people call the editor galaxy editor

[andreasaspenberg]

i have used the editor myself. it is clearly called the starcraft 2 editor. there isnt any galaxy in the name.

 

[Redoubt]

The coding language used by the editor is called Galaxy.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Because they are noobs?

Because you can edit the galaxy, as in WC3 you could edit the world.
Joking, that's just how it is, if you don't like it, don't get SCII.

Galaxy Editor sounds better than Starcraft II Editor.

Also, Blizzard calls it the Galaxy Editor. So lol.

 

[Error Ash]

I call it Galaxy Editor because everyone called it Galaxy Editor... Also i think the Blizzard guys called it like that and the scripting language is called galaxy...

 

[Anti_Bodies]

I remember from a few months (or maybe a year or so) ago, it was called "Scum Edit" haha.

 

[Tleno]

It's the oficial name of it, Bllizard call it this way. Plus it sounds nice, likwe you would have whole galaxy in your hands...

scum edit = starcraft ultimate map editor.

As mentioned before, in Warcraft 3 - you could edit a World. Hence, WorldEdit.

In Starcraft 2, you can create galaxies, hence Galaxy Editor.

I think the fact that it is called Starcraft 2 Editor - might just be something to do with it being Beta. Or, that's just what it was called at first.

It is (also as mentioned) Galaxy - the scripting language which makes Starcraft 2 do what it does.

Don't want to sound rude or something but does it matter?

SCUM Editor stands for StarCraft User Map Editor. Custom games in StarCraft were named User Map.

Uhm why is the data editor called data editor not just editor? Why is world editor not just caleld editor? Why is 3ds Max not just caleld Model Editor? Besides does it really matter? Its like naming your product, asme way starcraft 2 isn't called strategy game 2, sounds really bad.

 

[Gallin]

Um you cant really edit a galaxy in the Galaxy editor either. The only outer space map you have has a rather large planet behind it. More like a solar system editor.

 

[AKAIMAX]

Galaxy sounds better. Besides, you can make multiple planets even though their not really planets, more like flat rocks but it doesnt matter. The point is how it sounds.
