You can acquire the editor in other fashions. One being by using another friend's key just to download. If you did in such a fashion, the key might interest you. If not, you could possibly give it to some other mapper. Or if not, let the 2nd place winner have it if he can put it to good use.

That was my intention.

At times like this I wish I know how to make maps, I'll probably never get minerals

*gantrithor does not have a key, he is using the offline beta *

My finals are finally over, I'm back at home, and have finally pre-ordered. Hopefully will get my key tomorrow to start experimenting.

I've got a question for the judges:

Would it be acceptable for someone else to create a bunch of custom icons for my map? Look here for the discussion, Linkylink.

Yeah. The main idea is what you learned while making your map and sharing it / the ability to share it. Nothing else really matters.

What about obligating members to join a text file explaining some stuff they've learned and that they think could make the community progress?

I was actually going to make a series of tutorials explaining the concepts that I used in my map.

I might report some stuff on editing units, words of caution, dont screw around too much at once

Corbo and Devlin are officially judges.

I am currently working on a 3rd person shooter for this contest. Anyone wanna team up and QUICK got the basic functions down.

I can maybe make any custom icons you need, and/or a custom GUI, assuming I have time. There's what, 6-7 days left, and I've got to finish SwampFox's icons first, but post what you need in the icon request thread and I'll do what I can.

I have an idea! just so everyone can compete... why don't you just hand out SC2 beta keys for everyone? we'll give them back once where done...

What makes you think he would have beta keys?


Trying to use the galaxy editor makes me feel retarded.

Since I've never used the trigger system in warcraft 3 I can already tell using SC2 is probably going to be pretty difficult for me

But with all this mapping help I might somehow learn =D

I'm in. I've been learining sooo much. I even took off work to stay on this editor. I know how to do a hell'a lot! I just hope I have the time to finish it.

Just to clarify, we basically need our map in on Friday night right?

No one helped me out with this issue so I have to drop out. I can't make the map without that. It's part of a core feature.

I'm in...yahoo!
