Hi all, i have a few questions that keep me on hold with my editing :( Here we go: 1. How can you open the original campaign missions/maps from the game ? Can't seem to find any of them... 2. In the editor, i made a map where you start of with a hero as your main character, the hero "spots" an enemy base in the horizon in a cinematic... BUT, the base and enemy units that the main hero spotted, just don't move at all... thus making it look a bit silly :( how can i make the peons etc. work and stuff ? 3. How do you "run" from one map, into another ? I searched everywhere but can't find it... :( me needs a tutorial :gsmile: Thx in advance to all who help :D |

1. The original campaign maps are stored in the war3.mpq file in the root directory of your Warcraft 3 folder. To extract them, you need an mpq viewer that allows extraction. There are several available, and which one works best is a decision that is up to you. A couple of the more commonly used ones are TechMPQ and WinMPQ, both of which can be found in the downloads section. You then need to use the program to open up war3.mpq, and extract the campaign files into a directory on your hard drive. You can then view them normally through World Edit. 2. I suggest you may want to set up an ai action for the computer enemy so the peons move around. There are more things you can do to add a certain 'liveliness' to the base by making some units patrol from one point or another through further exploration of the triggers. 3. I assume you mean that once a player finishes a map you want them to immediately start a second map. This is once again done through a trigger. Here's a primitive example: Event: Player leaves the game with a victory Conditions: none Action: Game - Set the next level to (your map here) Hope that helps ~kharma |
