The Galaxy Map Editor[1] is the upcoming map editor for StarCraft II. It may be available in the StarCraft II beta but not from the beginning.[2][3] Blizzard has not made a final decision, but the brevity of the beta may preclude making it available before the product ships.[4]

The StarCraft II Map Editor will improve upon the World Editor from Warcraft III in every way.[5]

Startools, a proprietary toolset, will be included along with Galaxy. Startools lets modders design and create doodads.[6]

Blizzard intends to support the modding community. Some mods will be available for pay.[7]

i dont think so[8]

  1. On a side note, going along with the Galaxy Map Editor can do anything trend, I hear it may even be able to create a first person shooter style custom game :) Anyone miss those StarCraft paintball games? Our devs internally have already tried out some pretty clever side projects that have been quite successful. Karune. 2009-08-14. Starcraft 2 UMS mini-campaigns.

  2. The Galaxy editor is a project that the development team takes very seriously. They are working very hard to make the editor user friendly and powerful out of the box. Taking these priorities in with also getting StarCraft II ready to be tested in beta, the editor will be available for beta testing, but not at the beginning of beta. You can be sure that beta will involve patches, fixes, content updates- one of which will be the Galaxy editor.

    This is going to be fun though - I'm excited!
