Looking for some good resources about props / noise / etc in mapmaking

[Ichalvl 1752]

## This is for SC2 mapping using the Galaxy editor. If you comment about CS:GO / CS:S Hammer / SDK / Etc I'm going to laugh about you.

 

I've been making maps off and on for SC2 ever since I got HotS. The thing is, I'm not really too excellent at designing map / flourishing it. I can make a basic enough map that has symmetry, etc, though I potato out once I get to actual noise / props / walls / certain obstacles (air-only areas, zerg graveyards, etc) to really make the map good. 

 

Does anyone have any guides on correct map making, beyond just terraining? Anything from short to extensive will help.

 

Thanks in advance :>

What kind of version of hammer are you running?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hammer yet?

It's the most recent version of hammer, I've updated it and reinstalled it, and it still won't work.

Make sure you have info_player_terrorist and info_player_counterterrorist entities

I haven't touched map making in SC2 since it first came out.  I made a very basic tower defence map, had a really cool into though, with a probe running away from something, zerg I think.  Running down a hill that had a nice waterfall n everything....

 

Hit me up on steam one day if you are interested in seeing it, everything I did on it I found with google though, so I'm sure the tutorials have come a long way since then.

 

 

What types of maps are you making?  Just normal skirmish maps, or some UMS/Custom maps?  I am assuming just normal skirmishes maps, but if not, let me know...  Custom are way more fun...

Yeah Custom Maps are fun. Have you played Dark Forest? Its basically a multiplayer Slender, but the Slender is the Terran Advisor and she is scary as hell.
