SC2 modding progress?

Granted, Sc2 Mapster or Hiveworkshop would be *the* places to go, but seeing invested interest and now tumble weeds?

Well, I guess I post something. I was just mucking around with the editor, and all the pretty shiny things #Tongue

, nothing fancy like custom units like Omegalisks and Psionic Hydralisks.

From what I understand, SC2 modding is limited to map-per-map basis, which has kinda killed a lot of interest in my behalf. Mod support is supposed to be coming in patch 1.1, but then again it's probably not on the top of the list over the cross-region play demand and overhaul of the custom map system that's being demanded for as well.

Wrong.

IIRC Galaxy Editor has a "mod" option as well.

I don't have yet a enough good computer for SC2 sadly.

yep. Modding been going down since they added GE back in Beta.

It just a lot different than WC3's approach. It so insanely modular that it could be daunting to figure out how to make a custom unit. Although once that's through there are a ton of possibilities.

I've messed around with the makings of custom units... even went as far as remaking the Jim Raynor vulture unit. Other then that, yeah SC2's modding has gone a lot further then WC3's. Sure, WC3 does it per map basis with the mod option being the campaign thing. I understand a bit of it, though the map triggers themselves I'm still trying to learn. I just now some very basic triggers like making units move from here to there and making a transport that holds another player's units x.x

Edit
I also just looked, and Omegalisks are a campaign units :p
Though they really are just overgrown Ultralisks

Oh yea those,, but I'm talking about the one shown in the GE preview by dustin browder. It had six fully functional spine crawlers on its crest/back. Although it has been recreated. Ah, it was called the Uberlisk, but it was the original ultralisk concept.

Also the tut seems to be missing. =/

The psionic hydralisk is a unit on sc2 mapster that someone made.
