even though i haven't seen any posts about this, i hope you don't mind me asking..
so what are your reasons for mapping or modding?
i do know that a lot of people would enjoy mapping but get lazy to do. people usually have good ideas they can actually put into a map but to lazy to apply it in themselves...
if you are one of those people what maps would you like seeing or creating?
even though if you don't map, i bet you still would enjoy playing them.
for me i see mapping as a fun way to get creative in my spare time.
i am into creating rpgs and arena type maps.
i would also bet it pleases anyone who sees their map being hosted by people public for another reason for into creating masterpieces that has quality.

I got into modding and making maps for Tiberian Sun. When I moved on to Starcraft, I tried to repeat it and found that modding is harder (with Tiberian Sun all you do is type stuff in notepad) and map making is a lot better because the triggers actually work right in multiplayer.

I hate starcraft terraining. It takes forever to make the terrain... Also, i hate it how it is side ways, its really space-consuming.

Where to begin..I think I'll do this in point form just to make it easier.
-It's Fun
-Isn't it great playnig a map and seeing something cool happen and your just like "ya, I did that" (If you created a FF game, not on sc but for the actual compony, thats braggin rights alone, making your own map is like the same thing.)
-It makes you feel good to know people play your maps, like it's nice to know your working and people are having fun with it.
-When you get stuck and don't know how to do something you want done, it's always great to have a challenge of how to do it.
-Overall its fun owning your own maps

-I do it to make people happy
-Its fun (unless it seems to become work if you know what i mean)
-Get to have your map hosted
-Have compliments
Because some people on starcraft have become true jerkoffs, map making isn't as fun as it used to be. I have been banned countless times from my own map but they'll play it anyway.

I used to map, now i think different because i barely have time to map because of school and you know... now all that i do are researches, and i have the intention to help new map makers and inspire the and answer to their questions on this Webpage
I mod now and i mod because when i mapped i liked to expand mapping to the limits like the effects of disabling, sprites..terraining (although i didn't mastered that one) anyways i found modding and it meets almost no limits (or at least less than mapping) and i just like it because its fun you can watch a demo of the fun i mean in Here that's something i made in a few of my free time, i just have to say that i mod or map for fun because i enjoy it and because i got nothing better to do too
(i hope you read this uber long post)

I mod because I think it's fun. I map because I like to create things of various sorts, and I also like Starcraft Like to create things+like Starcraft=Like to create things for Starcraft. And with mods, there's just that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you watch your special Zealot beat the crap out of a Wraith...

Always liked to build things. I started with Sim Park. Then mom bought Sim City 3000 to me. Then I got a cracked Starcraft that I didnt get anything else than the editor to work, so I just built things

Making maps is really fun. It's cool so many of the things you can do with the editer. always great when people tell you how good it is after all the time you have spent on it.

I make maps for much of the same reasons as everyone else here, simply becuase i enjoy making them and its a great feeling seeing someone hosting your maps. I took almost 2 years off from the game and over the past week of being back i still see tons of my maps being hosted and played by many.

Same as every 1... i love making maps becaus its cool to see ppl say: ''wow, u really created it?''. Evrn if starforge is fucing and not working on my computer, i make maps with the X-tra editor and even if my compreally shiz and i can only use the map editor, i will always continue map making caus whitout us, no 1 could play any bound, zergling blood or more sofisticated maps like RPGs or defenses...

well yea mapmaking is fun i agree. putting in your own creativity and ideas and showing it to people.
sometimes it is stressful when it turns out into a big discouragement, cause there is always a critic ranting on your map. but as they say there is no perfect map, and its impossible to make everyone like your map.
but it is rewarding to see your map turn out a popular hit when it does become successful. but having fun in your own way on creating something you like.
i am working on some projects right now, but even though there are few, im trying to make them high quality...but it does take time to make a good map dont you think?

I don't map or mod anymore. But when I did, I loved all the special effects and cool map designing that I could have done. I also loved the immense possibilities from anything I can make.
But I got tired of repetitive process of clicking and dragging stuff.

It's like living a dream in some ways. Many of us wanna make huge games like super smash bros., Final Fantasy, Tekken, Halo, Socom, and other great hits. We want to be the ones makin those fantastic things, this is our easiest and most in ur face way to do it. Starcraft map making allows us to role play as the big time company and movie producers. We're livin dreams that the world says we're too young or too inexperienced to do in their world.
I Map Make because it's fun and I hope one day to create a game so breahtaking, everyone simply sits and waits in pure awe!
(But until then, all the other maps i've done are very fullfilling! )

lol shadow ur talking about me.... im the critic....i think to make a map a big hit isnt really using all of ur own ideas...its to use ur idea and get other ppls input so in a way its not really ur idea...its a mass of combined ideas...

I make my maps, for a bunch of different reasons! I normally make defense games!
-It is fun
-So other people you can have fun playing my maps
-I have some free time (mine-as-well put it to good use)
-I like the satisfaction of watching people enjoy my game that I created!
-Because map making is awesome!
-Maps I have made to date: 5 defenses, 1 arena
