A couple of questions. 1st, I've D/Led Rise of Krill Several times now and keep getting an error saying that the zip is corrupted... I can Unzip the file on my linux box but then the installer says that it's files are corrupted...???
2nd, I've tried using several different MPQ tools to view the warcraft 3 mpq files(i.e. war2.mpq, HumanEd.mpq, etc...) and none of them seem to work...
Finally, In creating a custom campaign, is it possible to add my own video cinematics in... you know, actuall video like an MPEG or AVI or something like that?
Thanx in advance

The cinematics are Divx encoded AVI files. They are inside the Movies folder. Just rename them to AVI and try to open them in a player. It works for me. I was also able to use a new video. The original Warcraft III movies have a 800x368 resolution.

That is very interreesting... but how does one call one from within his or her custom campaign...??? and how does it seperate them... cause the undead is it??? that campaign has more than one movie in it...???

I think you have to modify some text file (not called a txt file) I think it's the same one that controls the campaign menus, can't check cause my computer that I mod on is currently off being fixed :(

It's inside the Campaignstrings.txt file inside war3.mpq (full path: UI\CampaignStrings.txt).

why am I getting the impression that starcraftfreak spends too much time playing with wc3 editing??? Oh maybe because (s)he seems to know just about everything...:ggani: Oh well... thanks
