Tutorial: Custom textures in StarCraft 2

Alcoholix — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:11:16 +0000

Here is a tutorial I wrote a while ago for sc2mapster.com. It will tell you how to use your own textures with the StarCraft 2 editor. So, I have released some custom texture packs for StarCraft 2, and I thought I’d write a tutorial on how to use them inside the SC2 editor to accompany the texture sets. Or ofc, you could use this tutorial to import your own self-made textures First thing you need to do is to click the import button, the one I circled in red here. A new window will open up, from the menu click …

Exposition under construction

I’ve posted a bunch of photo’s of me and my classmates building up the end exposition, check them out on Picasa There’s also some very nice textures in that series btw Today I had to give my end presentation for a group of 10 people, and it went bad…very bad.

Luckily I already warned them beforehand that I might fumble over my words. They were good sports and started to help me …

I’ve been working hard on my first custom map for StarCraft 2 for a while now, and thanks to the fantastic resources at sc2mapster I’ve been progressing a lot. Recently a very inspiring thread popped up on the sc2mapster forums about terraining, and thanks to that thread I finally found a direction for where I want to take my map graphically. For my map I’m using my own custom textures, of which I released a few for download already. Today I just wanted to show you 2 screenshots of the map in progress, and tell you a bit about the …

How to import custom textures into StarCraft 2 editor

Alcoholix — Fri, 14 May 2010 22:05:21 +0000

So, I’m releasing some custom texture packs for StarCraft 2 soon, and I thought I’d write a tutorial on how to use them inside the SC2 editor to accompany the texture sets. First thing you need to do is to click the import button, the one I circled in red here. A new window will open up, from the menu click on Data -> Import Files (or click ctrl-I), now browse to the folder containing your textures, and select the textures you want to use. Don’t forget to import a white texture, you will need it later in this tutorial. …
