OVERWATCH STATUS GO


STARCRAFT II - MAPS AND MODS
--- DATA MODULE ---


Blizzard has finally released a new StarCraft 2 map making tutorial, and this time it is on the Data Editor. Though it isn't much more extensive than any existing tutorials on GalaxyWiki or other tutorial sites, it is a very complete explanation for performing some basic tasks in the Data Editor. It goes into detail about unit creation (including Actors and Event animations), basic custom abilities, effects, and simple weapons.



Quote
OBJECTIVE:
  • Get acquainted with the Data Module by editing existing data for units, abilities, effects, and weapons.

End Result:
  • When we finish this tutorial, we will have a modified Jim Raynor (Commando) unit with extra health, armor, different abilities, and a modified weapon.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

If you avoided the data editor until now, go ahead and transform Raynor into "The People's Hero" along with the tutorial. :)

The tutorial is great, has many pictures and step by step explanations to create something which is beyond Starcraft Broodwar's editor capabilities.
I wish they would have published that during beta. :D

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city

Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?

Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.

Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.

Vrael -- I need a go-to solution and someone who understands that Carpets are more than just decorative elements in my home.
