For creating very basic maps that you knew were easy to create but you were just to lazy to do it, you can make those with the original StarEdit that comes with StarCraft. The main focus on the UMS section is for creating simple maps like ones with observer modes, ones for practicing tricks you might want to practice and stuff like that.ĭepending on how 'hardcore' you want to get into this, you will need additional programs. This will not show you how to make crazy bounds, elaborate defense maps, RPGs, etc exactly, but will however, get you a start on it if you want to pursue it. This guide is going to show you how to make basic StarCraft maps, for both Melee and UMS purposes.
