Plans for modding SCII?

Joshy · Schwing! **Joined**: 13 Aug 2006

Hey all. I'm posting this out of curiosity for what you all plan when Starcraft II actually does come out.

Do you plan on modifying the game?
If so, what extent do you want to take the game to? (Changing everything, or a tweak mod?)
Anyone here planning a major mod for Starcraft II/Total conversion?
Anyone here actually messed around with the Starcraft II Galaxy editor? If so, how is it?
Are there any mappers out there planning on making some maps for SCII?

I myself am not a Starcraft fan at all. The engine though has a lot of potential and will be very fun to see what it's capable of. So, I will be modding it. Smile

Yes
Total Conversion(s), RPG/FPS/RTS
I've briefly tossed a few ideas around, but nothing is certain.
Nope
I will have to learn, but right now I am caught up in other things.

2) Perhaps making a mod map... or not.
3) Nope
4) Nope
5) Perhaps.

But if anyone works on maps and mods for this game, you can request hosting here.

1.) Yes, I do plan to mod the hell out of SC2.
2.) I'm going to be part of a Total Conversion.
3.) Answers itself with 2.
4.) Imagine the best editor for a game ever. SCII Galaxy Editor FTW. :v
5.) I'll be trying my hand out in mapping.

I knew good ol' Hyper couldn't resist doing some exe modifications. Wink

And at everyone else, very good responses, I like what I'm hearing. Very Happy

Also, namely Regulus, please refrain from crapping up this topic with dumb pictures, etc. (Don't want another Eldrei around here.)

And Ickus, perhaps Delerium on SCII?? Very Happy

not really SCII modding but the importer works flawlessly...
best thing is that all movement data is stored in one file and not in a thousand files ^^

I plan on making maps for the game. I already played some games on the beta (too bad it's over now).

The galaxy editor.. I think I'll love it once I'm done getting familiar with the complex thing it has become, compared to WCIII's world editor, which I already love.

Didn't do much with it yet, except place two giant armies in front of each other and push the "test document" button.
Which I assume everyone does when they open a map editor for the first time.

Phase two of the beta is in progress Bos187 if you're curious. So you can play again and continue working on maps :p

yes I know, I've been playing again. It's a tough game though.
But if I can get good at it that would be awesome! And then there's modding this game... the possibilities should be limitless.
I've heard of guys already making 1st person shooters with it including mouselook and everything.
I'm REALLY looking forward to the game's release!

And mapping was still available when the beta was closed..
you just couldn't login when you started up the game.
However i could still make maps and click test, and thus, play.

It seems the engine is much more versatile than what blizzard said it would be.
