Does Char have foliage? I keep trying to generate it and it isn't working.

Edit: It was not showing up in the editor but it is showing up in the game when i test it.

Your graphic settings in the editor have to be at least high I think to display foliage. Maybe that's the problem?

lag = awful

Sorry to say i personally never go over "low", on any mod/map. i hate to be called out for lag, i hate to suffer from it.

Window mode is not "optimal" to play / have fun, no?

Other than capturing the graphic feed, i see no point to it
then again i'm definitely not the smartest drone in the pack

In general, playing games in fullscreen mode will have better performance than windowed mode.

There is some performance cost associated with rendering the graphics to a window then rendering that window to the screen.

Ah yes, It had something to do with the graphics settings. Doesn't make sense though that I can see it in game but not in editor. Graphics settings not exactly lining up? anywhoo I upped the graphics and all is well now. Thank you.

Best thing is to toggle "same as in game"
If you ladder, you probably already have set it to low.. if you are mapmaking for the players, they all play on low (or should

). This will align with most players' view of the graphics in game.

When your map seems done.. then you can spend time to go nuts with what it looks/feels like on high (ultra is overrated). Just remember to double check back to loww settings to see if you have not done something you didn't want or think would happen.

Game settings are star 2 settings (players' passive use only), the editor will allow you to switch from one to another "instantly" (while creating your map) and "manage" this aspect prior to the map being played (= players' choice). The players can access more (for replays for one

) sometimes, but in any case your map is played on their settings, their graphic cards, their screen... (hope u see my point

)

Windows mode makes alt-tabbing to check other things much quicker. I use that a lot so it's better for me but I haven't noticed any giant changes to the framerate in game compared to Fullscreen

so I want to upload a first person replay to youtube on my channel(I won't advertise the channel here) and I was listening to Itunes what I played it so youtube says that it's copyrighted an won't let me put it up. I was just wondering why Pros like TLO, Idra, and Huk can play music while they are livestreaming on justin TV? Is there a loophole in the law for livestreams or is this just a Youtube thing?

Has anyone figured out what makes Special Forces maps so damn laggy? I love playing them by myself but the real difficulty is knowing what I have to snipe before it spawns a game ending amount of lag monsters.

Low settings, high settings its all doomed.

If you're talking about the Blizzard map "Crossfire" you can get it through the Editor. Open up the Galaxy Editor, go to "Open" and select the tab "Battle.net", log in and select "Source: Blizzard" and there you'll find it.

@spiderman459, yeah you should post it in the Simple Questions/Simple Answers thread in the Starcraft 2 forum.

Hi.

I'm looking for some sort of YABOT style test map on the EU servers. I'd like something that'll send predetermined attack waves at me so I can practice my drone timings a bit. None of the maps I've come across seem to have the attack waves feature.

I recently published a map as "unlocked" but did not save the actual editor file. Is there a way to recover the editor version of the map off Battle.net or anywhere else?
