Quick question. Since I have a mac, what file do I need to extract, and what do I have to edit, so I can make steep cliffs?

If you don't want to actually raise cliff levels, get UMSWE.
And yes you will ned UMSWE to do this, or Chryd Gods Enhancer...

You can then make hill WAY past the regular WE limit! I strongly recommend it!

You need to reinstall mate.
Your "old programs" corrupted your WC3 and it doesn't work like it should.

Guess I should have wrote the mac part in bold. I have the unit files, that lets me do things like get the marines and stuff, but I don't know what file is needed for the steep mountains. So what file is needed, and what do I have to edit?

The Windows-equivalent file you are looking for is UI\MiscData.txt but I'm not aware of what it may possibly be in the Mac version (hopefully the same). The changes you need to make are to this section:
Quote:
// Maximum slope in degrees, (86+ will disable slope limits)
MaxSlope=50
Where it says 50, replace with 85. If you go over 85 the vertices will fly off into lala land. You may also want to change the following section:
Quote:
// Global height limits
// 0 = low ground, each cliff level = 128
MaxHeight=1536
MinHeight=-128
By changing the max and min heights to 2048 and -2048 respectively, you will have a much greater control over the height allowances for your terrain.
