  1. Download Starcraft 2 Editor Mac Torrent
  2. Starcraft 2 Free Download Blizzard

  • I have a beta key, and I would like to know where to download the editor, if I even can. Also, 2 more questions:

    -will my account on Starcraft 2 BNet remain after the beta?
    -will any maps made now be able to be played later, after the beta>?

  • also, I am a mac user.

    Posted 2010-05-04

  • I'm not too sure about macs, but for windows, the editor is automatically downloaded into your starcraft 2 folder when you install patch 9/10 and it should be the same for macs, if its available for macs.

    As for your bnet account, if you opted in for beta, you would have needed to already have another blizzard game registered to it, and seeing that many WoW(now converted to bnet) accounts which have been inactive for years were still playable, i doubt they would delete it for a registered account, adding the fact that there are now unlockable achivements tied to the account and they mentioned at blizzcon 09 that your info would be saved permanently on bnet 2.0. On the other hand, if you have gotten the key some other way, without another blizz game, then you really have nothing to lose if it is going to get deleted since you wont be able to play the beta.

    As for the maps, they should still be playable after the beta, especially when blizzard releases the map publishing feature. It would seem pointless to have people working so hard to create the maps only to have them unplayable due to a new patch.

  • i am a windows seven user, and i cannot find the galaxy editor, even when i search it on my computer, Help?

    Posted 2010-05-06

  • It is labeled Starcraft 2 Editor.exe -- 'galaxy' is not in the filename.

    Your best bet is to just check your */Starcraft II Beta/ folder, it should be right there jjb

  • Your Bnet account will stay but I dont think your sc2 account will. there going to wipe all records for sure so beta players wont start retail in platinum with a 1800 ladder score. Im 99% sure account names will also be wiped. The retail servers most likly wont be the same as the beta server.

    Mac map editor is not out yet as far as I know :(

    Maps made now should be able to be played in retail unless they do major changes to the game. If they do small changes (thats most likly the case at this point) you might have to do some small changes to make then work with the retail version.

  • thank you so much

    see this picture(green earth icon)

  • i cant find mines?

    Posted 2010-06-12

  • I think but not 100% sure . when the game gets its final beta patches or retail release we will be getting a more polished editor with more tools. including a doodad maker, and a basic howto demo or something to get new people started.

    Posted 2010-06-12

  • Is there a version history of the editor somewhere?

    Posted 2010-06-20

  • this was not helpfull at all lol i wontto download galaxy editor duhh!

    Posted 2010-06-25

  • You can easily download starcraft 2 and if you have starcraft 2, you have the galaxy editor. To my knowledge, theres only 1 version of the editor, blizzard hasn't even been bothered to fix the missing file in the editor since its release.

    Posted 2010-06-25

  • dont think that will work unless you get a pre patched sc2 . editor was not until 9 right? and the patch servers are down. till phase 2

    Posted 2010-06-25

  • There have been many posts around the forums leading to downloads for manual patching here, you can still patch the game despite the servers going down.

    Posted 2010-06-25

  • I do not know if this will function with any patches prior to the one the editor was released in.

    However it's always worth the try nonetheless.

    Just place it in the sc2 folder and try running it.

    If it fails to load up, then refer to the link above, and only download Patch 15.
    Patching in order is pointless unless you wanted to view older replays; so the single patch 15 will bring your editor most up to date.

    Patch 16 I do believe was a small quick fix and not a full content update.

    Posted 2010-06-28

  • i downloaded patch 15 and it just gives me a folder called updates ..what should i do ?

    Posted 2010-07-04

  • haha sucker! >:D yes i'm trolling :P

    Posted 2010-07-18

  • Uhh, when i was patching up the starcraft. it says :
    The patch 'pc-game-hdfilesStarCraft II Editor.exe' could not be applied. (MD5 mismatch: expected 0x6E21EE5A7B1D755819D09B2B7505896D, actual 0xC2DA61661D0ABF25138423F3ED5133A9.)(PTCApply_BSDiff failed.) If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (BNUpdate::PTCApply)

    Please, help me. I even reinstalled this whole game.

  • im having a problem and was wanting to konow if anyone else was. i have the full game, but the editor is still incomplete. i recently renuilt my computer, so i know the beta is nolonger on my computer. can anyone help?

    Posted 2010-08-15

  • Duntorah incomplete like what? and i assure you that is just not possible if you got the full game.. in case you refer to units such as firebat medics etc they were kinda replaced by medivac(which is far better) and for the firebat and the vulture they replaced it with hellion and so on with other units.
    so if this was you 'incomplete' issue then you got your answer if not.. say the actual problem.

    Posted 2010-08-16

  • Jcreator free download for mac download. incomplete as in still the same as it was when i had the beta only. it doesnt have heroes or characters oranything. and the full one is supposed to have alot of the old units.

    Posted 2010-08-16

  • They are in the editor, you just have to tinker around with it. I remember it being mentioned in the forums somewhere, something about adding file dependencies to the map.

About[edit]

The StarCraft II Editor (also known as 'Galaxy Map Editor') is the map editor for StarCraft II. It was made publicly available starting in the beta in April 2010. Including modules enabling the editing of Data fields, Triggers and Terrain, the StarCraft II Map Editor improves upon its predecessor, the World Editor from Warcraft III, in every way.

All our StarCraft II development tools are in your hands. When you install the free StarCraft II Starter Edition, you also get the StarCraft II Editor (theres a shortcut in your Start menu). Fire it up, make your own maps and mods, and share them with the world (..). If you want to learn more about how to get the most out of the editor, check out the tutorials below.

Blizzard Tutorials: Getting started[edit]

To fully understand the SC2-Editor, you will need time and basic programming skills (IF .. else). However, getting started is easy. Blizzard created a tutorial, which will create a new Map from the scratch. It is strongly recommended to start with these tutorials before you want to create your own Map (or Mod).

Terrain Module
Our first map making tutorial introduces you to the ins and outs of the StarCraft II editor’s terrain module.
Trigger Module
Learn to use the Trigger Module by creating Triggers to handle victory, defeat, and scripted in-game events.
Publishing
If you want to play your map online with other players, or if you want others to be able to use your mod in their maps, it must be published to Battle.net. Note: A 'Starter Edition' will not do. You need to buy SC2 to publish Maps or Mods.
Data Module
In this tutorial, we will go over ways to modify existing data including modifying unit health, armor, starting energy, adding and removing existing abilities to units, and modifying weapon firing rates and damage.
Actor cheats
This tutorial is not needed in the beginning. You need a basic understanding, what 'Actor' means (SC2-Editor). You may choose to fully understand all other tutorials. With Patch 1.4.0, modders can now use actor cheats to create and manipulate actors on the fly while running a test map from the editor. This is useful for quickly testing ideas without having to set up data or execute triggers.
Missile Movers
This tutorial probably is not needed in the beginning. Missiles are typically used to configure missile-based attacks, but the underlying motion can also be used to drive a reaper's body when it jumps or a spine crawler's tentacle when it attacks.

Features[edit]

Starcraft 2 Free Download Blizzard

Every mission within the Campaign was created by using the SC2-Editor. You can open every Campaign Map and check out every aspect (Terrain, Triggers, Regions and so on) of it.

Files[edit]

  • All unit abilities will be data driven, enabling great freedom when designing unit abilities.
  • Every game database file is exposed for modification. The trigger editor features the ability to define custom functions and libraries.
  • Galaxy maps are capable of holding thousands of triggers, locations and doodads. It will make all the triggers in the program available to mapmakers.

Graphics[edit]

  • Climate graphical effects will be available in the map editor.
  • The map editor will support text color.
  • Lightning effects can be adjusted.

Terrain[edit]

Editor
  • A number of tile sets will be available, such as wasteland (Mar Sara), volcanic (Char), twilight (Shakuras), space platforms, jungle and desert. A few new ones will also be available, such as a new Shattered City tile set.
  • Terrain can be mixed and matched; you can define your own tile set in the editor. The terrain textures can be blended, so that a jungle can smoothly transition into a desert. Doodads such as traps can be freely added to any tile set. Maximum map size will be fixed at 256 x 256 and sizes of 32 to 256 are available. Map size can be artificially restricted by controlling the camera, preventing units from entering 'off-screen' terrain or building there.
  • Water (and lava) levels are adjustable.
  • There is no auto-mirror function.

Units[edit]

  • Unit coloring and neutral units will be supported in the editor. Blizzard is adding and modifying unit models which will not even be in single-player to make them accessible to models.
  • Many of the units and abilities that may not end up in the final version of the game, will still be accessible by modders. However, units that have been cut completely from the game will not be in the editor.
  • Some single-player-only units will be in the map editor. The tauren marine will be in the map editor.
  • Units can be 'attached' to other units, and units can even be used as special attacks (for instance, modifying spore crawlers to launch banelings as an anti-ground attack).
  • Heroes can carry items in StarCraft II UMS maps through the use of a toggle, and can carry more items than heroes in Warcraft III.
  • Blizzard will try to ensure that heroes and units can also gain experience in Galaxy,[10] although this ability will likely not be available in the campaign or standard multiplayer games. This will enable map styles such as Defense of the Ancients to be reproduced in StarCraft II.
  • Map makers can define any number of custom attributes for a hero, based on their level.[26] However, the UI can only display three attributes.
  • The footprint of structures can be adjusted to whatever the editor desires (such as 'square' buildings).[7]

UI[edit]

  • The UI can be customized, but it is not a user-friendly process. The files are externalized, and while they can be edited, there will not be support for that.
  • The map editor is being designed to handle third-person shooting maps.
  • Blizzard was able to design an old-fashioned 'Lost Vikings' top-scrolling space shooter game within the editor.
  • The map editor can create new HUDs, quest interfaces and dialogue. It even supports 'mouselook', so moving the mouse influences the player's view.

Miscellaneous[edit]

  • Upgrades can be extended arbitrarily, and can be modified using triggers.
  • Custom races are supported, even with melee maps.
  • There will be support for one more resource.
  • The AI will be script-driven and completely exposed. It will attempt to analyze data and see what the player is doing without 'cheating', instead scouting.
  • The entire zerg reveal trailer was made in the level editor, including the Blizzard logo.
  • 'Wrap-around' maps can be made, so that units that walk off one edge will appear on the other side. However, they cannot exchange shots.
  • Story Mode Space is all done in the map. Heroes from Story Mode can appear in-game, and in-game units such as the Thor can appear in Story Mode.
  • Information can be stored in 'banks', such as characters, which can be moved from map to maps and games.
  • All information for maps will be stored within the map file (such as sound files). Mods can be made available as a single mod pack.

Galaxy Language[edit]

The editor features a proprietary scripting language called Galaxy based on C, but users will also have access to the more user friendly Trigger Editor which will allow beginner and intermediate map designers to make advanced maps without having to learn the scripting language.

Galaxy will not be object-oriented, but most of the functionality is based on modifying game objects.

Triggers will be able to 'communicate' with each other. The editor supports custom function definitions; for instance, a map maker can create their own actions built up from actions (or custom script code) and use them in triggers.

Galaxy features a 'garbage collection' system which will prevent memory leaks.
