W3Z Map Editor

makie sure dat you copy da storm.dll and the SFmpq.dll from your warcraft 3 folder to the folder where zephir editor is or else it wont work and wont be able to create maps right or load maps...

Hmm i looked EVERYWHERE for a read me that would tell me something like that...

THANK YOU. It was the storm file!

Is somebody here who can tell me where I can download zepir's software?

(I don't speak english like zepir :/ by the way:

Zepir, pourquoi n'as-tu pas fait ton programme en français? Ca aurait été plus pratique pour pas mal de gens (Dont moi)! En plus c'est, je crois ta langue maternelle! (Sorry if I can't say it in english but I learn english for 3 years only :/))

Add: Sorry I didn't see it in the download section :x

And what exactly does this editor do?!?! I haven't been able to get it (since none of the links work, but what i want to knwo is, can i edit v309 beta maps with it? Tnx.:mtk:

It can do many things the WE can't. For example path editing, precise tile height editing, water level editing, grounds flags editing, it can make your map use up to 16 tilesets, it can watermark your map and protect it against editing.
It doesn't support new maps format unfortuneately and it's still in beta developpment.
I still don't have time to update it but I will when I'll find the time to. (no, I'm not dead... ;p )

TNX!
Do you knwo where i can get We for TFT 309 though?

It's down gosh dangit!

You can get the beta here
and the -old, deprecated- tutorial here
or access it from the web here.

Damnit Zep, release another version, it's a wee past march already.

I pass by just to say "hello" and let you guys know I still plan to work again on W3Z. "When" is THE question. I hope I'll have time before this editor becomes really useless. Cheers.

how do i get to the trigger editor?

There is no trigger editor in Zepirs Map Editor!

The new specifications about W3M and W3X files can be found here!

I can open new w3x with my editor. Expect a new version in the coming weeks that'll allow conversions between expansion beta and war3 retail... and more, of course! ;-p

I'm new to the forums and the first of my topics is that I love your editor, beats the hell out of the original WE, but in your editor the loading and campaign screens gota be up :) not trying to force ya, its just that I use the editor and the regular WE but now I can't add those screens haha. Is there a work around until the beta is finished? thanks.

Also I made put more timesets into my map, made about 17 the thing is now when I edit in WE and try to make cityscape cliffs the top and bottom of it is fine but the wall has the texture from the grass cliffs (top and bottom have tile, side of cliff has gravel) is there a problem?, will it work fine in game? I imported the ground and cliff tiles btw. Thanks again.

Several people needs the "campaign screen selection" feature so I'll make it available for the next beta.
About the tilesets problem, it won't work in game unfortuneately! :(
It used to work with War3 beta but since the release, they changed some stuff and the cliff thing is not working correctly anymore. But there is a workaround wich is a little bit complicated to explain and that will increase a lot the size (in Kb) of your map. I'll try to integrate this feature one day.
Thx.
