Im currently perfecting a really big complicated 17mb map on mine. The original map that it was derived from was created by me back in 2001, and damn its changed over the years. Back then my map had 3 locations and about 5 triggers, but it was still massive with many buildings and units. Now my map has 240 odd locations and i have no idea how many triggers.

So, has anyone else ever made a map? UMS or otherwise?
 
I made a couple, only one that turned out right.

I went nuts with the triggers and scripts.
I made bounties on all the units. When you killed a zergling you got 3 minerals.
If you nailed a Hydralisk you got 4 gas. I forget what the others were.

I also used just about every other combination I had seen in custom maps.
I made sacrificial circles that would provide resources or exchange units.
I made it possible to call in air strikes. (Summon a buttload of fliers based on certain conditions. They were scripted to make a beeline for the enemy base, attack for 15 seconds, and then fly off.)

Found a few websites with exapmles of some really kick-ass scripts which I never did try.

Looking back the scripting options in that editor were really amazing.
 
Triggers are so f-ing irritating somtimes. Im really thankful for staredit.net forums. My map would me a jumbled mess without that site. The cash for kills scripts is one of the hardest things to do (perfectly), they actually made a program that writes the cash for kills script for you, i suppose you would import it as a trigger file once its written.

Nike you should play it again. Theres still new maps being released, some garbage, some good, the current craze is this strip hermione granger map :roll: But the new kings & knights maps are good, same with the thing maps. Hell EVERYONE should play starcraft!! Still fresh after about 8-9 years, amazing feat, awsome community.
 
I made a bunch of good Melee maps and a few UMS maps (only a few were playable). I usually got bored with one thing and started a new project so nothing ever got finished. We had a cool clan (Xzon) and our own bot. The clan's been dead for years but it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Here's my finished melee maps. I haven't made anything new in a few years I dont think. Let me know if link is broke, it's on an olde geocities page.
 
I loved Starcraft back in the day, lost my CD's though, and my friend lost my CDKey after I lent it to him. :

The editor was amazing though, I could spend hours carefully crafting single player campaigns for me and friends to play.
