why was the starcraft 2 editor help zone change name

[andreasaspenberg]

it is called the StarCraft II Editor so i really dont understand why it should be named galaxy editor help zone.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I am currently not sure why the name has changed and will look into it.

Because inside a category with StarCraft II (Modding) label on it, we have StarCraft II Editor, we have StarCraft Discussion and we have StarCraft II Tutorials. Starcraft, starcraft, starcraft, it's annoying. So I renamed it.

 

[Orcnet]

also galaxy sounds cool that's why rui renamed it

 

[Rui]

Yes! =D

Oh, and I forgot to say that, besides being annoying, it is also redundant.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Not when the editor program is called "StarCraft II Editor.exe" or "SC2Editor.exe".
This was very different from WarCraft III where the editor was called "World Editor.exe" or "worldedit.exe".

I understand that Blizzard originally called it Galaxy during development but I cannot find any reference to that name inside the editor.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the fact that it is called galaxy editor help zone is actually quite annoying so i might have to stay away from the starcraft 2 part of the forum if it stay that way.

I also like calling things by their original name, though it doesn't matter to me.

Kind of a drama queen move that would be.
Fine, I'll rename it back to StarCraft II Editor Help Zone, inside the StarCraft II category, paired with StarCraft Discussion and StarCraft II Tutorials, to deal with StarCraft II editor problems, as mentioned in the description.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

thank you.

You forgot to mention that it all is moderated by the "StarCraft II Moderator" and is part of a WarCraft III and StarCraft II support site. At least if you wanted to say StarCraft II a few more times.

Galaxy is the scripting language used by StarCraft II. It was originally going to be the name of the whole editor but for some reason it was renamed to the StarCraft II Editor.

 

[Statharas]

That reminds me of a stupid story where a friend of mine sent an e-mail to blizzard about the location of the "Warcraft Game Editor". That could be the reason.

But seriously, The galaxy editor is a more serious name, where Starcraft II editor sounds like a sandbox.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the fact remains that it is called starcraft II editor and not galaxy editor.
