Well, i usualy don't make maps, but I might as well get in the spirit.
I'm hoping to make an rpg where there will be 4-5 player characters, three of which will have alternate forms (To show use of bow, ect). I also want some spells, and probably some sound files.
Before I even start, which editor should I use?
ADDITION:
I read Mini Moose's pinned topic, but it wasn't descriptive enough.
Your choice. No one can tell you what editor to use, it's what your comfortable with. It's like telling someone which clock to look at.
*Brains freezes*
*Starts to drool*
It's not like your choosing which parent, sister/brother or child you prefer most.
Well if you've been used to the normal editor then try out Xtra Editor. I personally use SCMDraft for making terrain and use Starforge for triggers. Check out the DLDB, try several out and see which you like the best.
i use SCMDraft for terrain Starforge for Colors and Triggers, a X-tra for triggers
starforge 4 terrains scxe 4 triggers

-.- your all evil...starforge for everything except isom. SCMD2 for isom.
^That is the way to go^
I'm sick of brainless people who can't handle text-based triggers. They are much, much faster.
I've already downloaded X-tra editor.
I'm still going to need help though.
right now I'm only working on terrain, pre-placed enemies, and things like that.
ADDITION:
Although I think I made my map too small.

Yes, especially if you a fast typer

Its like a gift from Heaven
Okay, i'm getting pissed, stacraft keeps crashing when I try to play my baby of a map.
could this be related to the patch?
No crashing buildngs or units, (Independant CC's, ect) are in it.
I can't post the error text.
It crashes right after the mission briefing.
Nvm, wilhelm and Yeow troubleshooted for me.
Now I need to iron out the mission brief...
Use the triggers from SCXE if you dont know how to use the triggers from the different versions. I like SCMDraft2 all around the best. It is the best terrain maker editor.

i personally use starforge for everything, i just learned how to do starforge triggers, but i recommend SINCE HES NEW ..scxe only.
