How do I start a Single Player - Multi Player game with a custom map in Starcraft II?
Posted On: January 14, 2023

This may sound a little bit silly, but I can’t seem to find how to do this.


Single Player -> Vs. A.I. seems the way for single player, but then I can’t find a way to select my map. I only see a list of blizzard maps.


If, on the other hand, I start a multi player, I get all the ladder nonsense. I can create a custom game (or play cooperatively) but then again, the map selector list doesn’t allow me to “move” to a different folder; I can’t find the maps in the starcraft folder either….


Any ideas?


I’m used to play on a couple of custom maps that I’m porting to SCII, we used to LAN play (lame that that’s not possible anymore), however, I don’t care to use BNET, if I can use my map. I must be doing something wrong….


In essence, how do I create a Map and use it in a custom game? Do I have to publish it?


Question from user Martin Marconcini at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

The custom game selection will allow you to draw from maps that you have uploaded to battlenet via the Galaxy Editor. As I understand it this is exactly what you want to do and it sounds like you do understand how to publish a map.


I believe there is an option to publish the map privately for custom game use, though I haven't check since Beta.
