    The game by itself does not allow you to load a custom map. In order to do it you have to use a 3rd party map loader, edit the mpq files. It's quite painful.

    I've made a Hello World map that you can launch and edit really easily in order to test the galaxy scripting features.

    • Download and extract SC2HelloWorld.rar
    • Edit the MapScript.galaxy file
    • Run the launch.bat
    • Enjoy!

    The trigger debugger window is shown and give you some interesting informations.

    Thanks for the .bat, smart idea. Nice job with the map, btw.

    It works for me except that I get a syntax error message in the debugger screen and the message specified in the galaxy file does not get printed. Might this be related to a recent patch?

    Hmm, it's working fine for me in the latest version. Have you any modified files / mpq inside your Starcraft II folder?
