Just have the editor open before you try opening the map in question.Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. If you attempt to open a map and it only opens up with an empty green tileset, refer to this video for a very fast, simple fix - it's the same basic idea as the missing dependencies issue. Just click 'No' and try dragging the map back into the editor and it will open properly (this is a Blizzard issue).

Upon using the 'Test Document' method, you may also get an editor error saying you're missing HotS and/or LotV dependencies. If you don't have a mod folder in this location, you can create on yourself. Usually, this is would be within Program Files - NOT the one in My Documents, as that is only where you account info is kept. If a campaign has a mod file, it should always be moved to the Mods folder within your Starcraft 2 directory where you installed the game. If you are missing any of the folders above, then create them yourself, particularly the Maps and Mods folders within Starcraft II.

Refer to campaign project pages for this information, though here is an Installation Guide that should put you on the right track if you prefer following a video. Some campaigns utilize a mission launcher, which requires all maps and the launcher to be placed within a specific directory. Blizzard seems to slowly be easing some of these restrictions, but many campaigns remain 'offline' for now.Īt the most basic level, simply open up a map file within the SC2 Galaxy Editor and click the green Test Map button in the upper right. A small number are available on the Arcade, but most are not due to current file size and # of maps uploaded limitations. If you are new to custom campaigns, you may be unsure how to play them.
