Staredit Network

Do you sometimes create a map so complex that you simply get too lazy? I'm stalling right now just because mine's full of too many ideas... i'm even considering to put some in a different map instead -_-

In the past I've had a more circumstancial problem:

Lack of map editors.

everyone does fm, ppl are just too lazy and abbandon their projects

melleniumarmy's philosophy towards it helped me

I only have x-tra edit and original staredit... I don't want to go so deep into starcraft for that as I have college to begin soon. I mean if I suddenly became pro I would be building maps like insanity+1. Just with what I'm doing right now is complex as craziness and like 50 ideas in one map... but there is so much to do and so much confusion as to how to do some things...

I am sad to say i worked on my map for 6 or 7 hours today... i really need a weight room -_-

Yeah, Ive done that one a few maps. Like.. uh.. 1, 2, 3,
all of them.

lol ham, watever happened to warhamma 40k map? i was looking foward to that one, and ur trailer was ridicolously bad, u used observers to reveal the map lol

Take a long break. Dont play Starcraft at all for like a few months.

I have to say, that if Blizzad would listen to us Map Makers. They should add the ability to change unit weapons and stuff like the EUD did. Changing the weapon sounds, portait sounds, ability to change player color names. Oh man so much stuff could be available if Blizzard would do that, then millions of maps would be made. Then there was no way to say "map makings boring/dead"

Someone needs to protest in the bnet forums about the lack of functions of SCMM

Number of maps that I've completely finished. 3
Number of those maps that I still have. 1
Number of Beta's that I've released. 2
Number of Alpha's released. 3
Number of maps that I've never finished nor released. 836251771 (Yeah, that looks about right)

It sucked. And so did my Map-revealer-ridden editor. I was a noob.

[center]You've all obviously never seen me try to develop a map. I seriously worked on 1 map for more than a year.[/center]

That's not true for me.

I have LDVS and can't start one map without getting ideas for others. ( I'm trying to get one of my old maps called Zombies. Does anyone have it? I need it)

I believe you showed it to me a while back. Was that the one where you had a shuttle and a defiler or something, it was like installation.. That was a while back though.


I have done that one basically all of my maps. Most of the time I go through binges, where I work on one idea for a day, and give it up the next. Then when I hit a good idea I play with it for at most 4-5 months. Ya, but most of the time I just end up always adding on more and more original ideas to it, and it never actually gets done. Then with a few I get almost finished with it, and realize I did something wrong back at the begining and have to redo much of the map. (Actually that mainly happened in he early years of mapping.)

I get lots of ideas, but I also like to make campaigns, so I can usually only use a few different ideas per map, so that way I can get most of them in there, but not make it feel overblown (at least, I hope it doesn't feel overblown to people who play it)

Rantent, yes that's it. Can you PM it to me?

lol kow, gl on finishing that

Have you seen it? I'm trying to make it exactly like the Halo 2 Zombies

Yes

We all get lazy.. uh, I've made not a single decent proper playable map for about 3 years. I think I'm like on the extreme side of laziness. Just take some breaks from map making when you get bored, do something else... then comec back to it. I think that map making to everyone should be some kind of enjoyment - not torturing ourselves to work and finish something.

Woot! I found it!
