Will you mod Starcraft II?

[Pyritie]

Which is why the mods on this site are working on a SC2 section.

We are? D:

 

[redmarine]

We are? D:

Well, there was one mod working on it a couple of months ago but I haven't heard about it since. So I'm actually not entirely sure any more.

 

[DoOs_101]

If you dont wan't monopoly, make a better map.

Yeah right, the mechanics of dota ain't that great as you thought. Its been there fo 6 years, and 6 years is why ppl still kept playing it because they're consistent at updating it.

They're the first to come up with the idea of an DotA version with many heroes, and people liked it. However, it does not mean its a better map than others!

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

it does not mean its a better map than others!

Sigh...

It's better if you think so.

You can say that "are you a retard" map is better than any other map if you think so.

 

[soulbad]

Yeah i will mod it...will be rusty though been 4 years since I played wc3 xD not to mention Starcraft!

Ur not making any sense and full of generalizations.

Guy A: OMG DUTA IS DA BEST MAP EVARH!
Guy B: TERE AINT NU BETER MAP THAN NARATO SHIPPUUUDEN v84905.1

Get it nao?

 

[Eagle771]

when i bought half life 1 and 2... i didn't even bother playing game... i just modded it... modded it till my computer got a blue screen of death... So of course i am gonna mod SC2

You don't make sense either.

If you say a map is the best map ever you gotta justify with reasons not just because "you think".

The reason that its the most played map eva does not justify dota is the best map. You could say the best wine quality doesn't sell the best if it focuses too much on quality as to marketing.

 

[bw59]

I'm going to mod Starcraft as much as possible, but it always makes me think, what will happen to the Hive? When Starcraft 2 comes out, I think most people will move on to it and wont come back to Hive. So I was just wondering if you guys are going to add a Starcraft 2 part to the site or stay in the Warcraft universe until a possible Warcraft IV comes out.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Wc4 might come in 2011 or 2012... thats a long time... anyway SC2 will be better for making maps, worse for modding i think. DotA will be better in SC2, probbly better than those games that are comming out based on DotA, haha. So blizz will own them again.

Why isnt there anyone interested to mod wc3 ? Oo, i saw only one MINImod, Dawn of Chaos for wc3, and there you got tons of mods for Diablo II ...

 

[Kwah]

Due to the power of the engine, mapping and modding are synonyms, in effect. Mapping is normally a term used for FPS/ect when you are actually just building a map.

"Mapping" in the technical sense, might be building a melee map.

 

[Abdoma]

After seeing the editor right now YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!

I'm sure there will be a group of people who will extract the wc3 models and convert them to the starcraft 2 format so even if I wanted a game with warcraft 3 models I would still make it in starcraft. All the new features look insane.

 

[Hugget Sukker]

I will play and mod it!

If the editor is as good as they have promised, I'll stick to it for very long.
I'm particularly excited about the terrain possibilities, like lighting editor, new water rules, and also seeing the cliffs in the battle reports tell me they might have improved their cliffs A LOT. Although I heard them say something about "2 cliff types in a map" in a video :\

I just hope they've kept a close eye on the War3 modding community, so they don't remove any options that we've honed our skills with and enjoyed for so long.

 

[BlackHobo]

you guys have no idea how much better the sc2 editor will be.... i have seen a private preview, and the features are amazing.

you can literally create games like counter strike or half life. not like the shitty wc3 maps, but the real thing.

Yeah, the one I uploaded.

If anyone is wondering what he means then check my videos:

psst wc3 maps r only shitty b/c ppl either r too lazy to make something epic or just too stupid...

wc3 maps can be so great or so low, it depends on your knowledge and btw the SC2 editor won't be that much better...

You're clearly underestimating the new editor. You should read more info on it.

I think you are just as much underestimating Warcraft 3's engine. The main limit is speed (and UI of course).

 

[Just_Spectating]

Warcraft3's editor is really amazing. truely

Sc2 is just better

 

[Kwah]

It all hinges upon the existence of Mindy.

 

[Azilure]

i personaly think sence wc3 came out starcraft 1 just go stronger with new ideas and remaking of the editor of starcraft so im thinking when starcraft 2 comes out it will pull people from sc1 and wc3 but they will stay around and keep everything happy and jolly ^^ but then agian it wont even be on the same battle net and you have to buy the editor not with the main game stupid marking...

 

[Tleno]

How do you think if Ralle would make THW SC2, not only WC3 modding site?

 

[redmarine]

How do you think if Ralle would make THW SC2, not only WC3 modding site?

As another category. If it grew exponentially he would probably divide his site into two parts.

 

[Azilure]

hmm 2 parts would be nice because then they can have make maping thingys in like a vs were its sc2 vs wc3 on the most higher teck map like how dota was when it first came out

 

[AKAIMAX]

You joking? You can make custom UI in wc3. Don't believe me? Here's a little system that for some reason isn't gaining popularity even though its so amazing. You can make buttons, text and pictures. And they do follow your screen.

Here's the system:http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=102351

And here's a bag system made with it:http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=104931

We are already aware of it but it is so complex for the average joe that it is simply not worth it.

What Blizzard wants to do is to make UIs that follows your screen without using pictures and units and complex math like that system does.

 

[AKAIMAX]

There isn't much complex math in it except the code that makes the system work. The values you set aren't complex at all. And the custom UI system we will get won't be any easier. The fact that DGUI uses units and a lot of math isn't a problem cause you won't have to learn how the system works.

Btw, is it compatible with version 1.24?

 

[AKAIMAX]

I believe it is. It doesn't use return bug and I haven't had problems on single player so I guess it is.

 

[DoOs_101]

Sheesh,

The Sc2 editor has the capability to make advanced custom spells just by using the object editor... In wc3 you have to workaround with JASS to create those...

Not to mention the fact that you can customize the UI of a game fully to the extent that you can somewhat create your own "game" in "sc2" by changing the structure of window panes, bars, and so on... In wc3 you can only customize the UI by overidding skin files.

This is a video, a little bit outdated but I just thought it would be great to bring it up.

The uberlisk, those custom spells all done by the object editor.
The Sc2 GHOST, done using GUI trigger, custom UI using galaxy editor.

Blizzard is expecting crazy mapmakers to come out with crazy mods. These previews are done in a short period of time, imagine if a group of mapmakers come together and decide to create something of which I can't even imagine right now but will rock...

 

[Mulgrim]

i'll mod it for sure, i already started working on concepts and models for an awesome map (money is rewarding, and to get payed for what i love? hell yes)

might play it occasionally

 

[Absent]

I won't mod the game, because I will be so awed by Blizzard's models that I won't be able to muster the strenght to even attempt a model or skin. But I will play it, I will make maps and I will make 300 posts complaining about the noobs selling thier maps for $25 each.

Mod means making maps, not art.

LOL

i don't think anyone whould be that stupid ... .... 0.99$ each is a lot ... or depends on how much work was put in a map

[13Stallion]

Im definetly going to buy and mod the game. Ive been playing starcraft for 9 years and I just know that SCII will be epic.

- Yea the WC3 community will probably stay strong for another 5-6 years I think. Look at starcraft, it came out in 1997 and there is still about 20,000 people logged on bnet-starcraft on average

 

[mattman111]

I Will! Modding For Starcraft 2 Will Be Amazing. After I Saw The Editing Powers At BlizzCon 09 I Was Jaw Dropped. I Mean Be Able To Rise And Lower The Water Level In Game?!?! Simply Amazing.

 

[Tleno]

Yup.. I hope you'll be able to make terraforming system, kinda like the one in Maelstorm...

 

[DoOs_101]

There is, you see campaign teaser video, for a particular dungeon level, the lava level rises and flood the lower levels.

 

[Tleno]

Oh... but will you be able to make that lava:
-walkable and non-deadly
-system that allows you to change heigt or something by yourself. And not causing all those problems like with warcraft 3 crushing after lots of terrain edits in-game.

Well, I would presume so but since nothing has been officially announced we cannot be sure.

 

[Tleno]

Thats sad... looks like I'll have to reinstall that damn Maelstorm again... And what about physics in SC? Is there any info about that?

 

[mattman111]

ya but if you look at that part. the minimap doesnt Update from it! i think thats dum

Maybe the minimap updating after changing the terrain was not made then yet?

 

[mattman111]

Then they should show some footage of it. im going to be disapointed if they didnt add that.

 

[wingednosering]

Hell yes, I'll mod it. I stopped modding Warcraft for almost a year because I thought Starcraft was coming sooner. The tools available in Starcraft's editor sound fantastic. Now it's simply a matter of waiting for Blizzard to finally release the damn thing so we can see it's capabilities first hand.

I already have a couple of ideas .

 

[razman]

I´m gonna play the game and mod it to the end of the universe!!!

 

[Tleno]

I´m gonna play the game and mod it to the end of the universe!!!

...Or at least till the next SC/WC game.

 

[razman]

yeah propably
the thing that happens first (that I play it to the end of universe or the next wc/sc game arives )
