When I make a map. I use Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne World Editor. I heard there is other editors that can help imrove the WE. Anyone got any Good Recomendations? I heard of AMAI, UMSWE, WE Unlimited, & HeavyLock (map protector, not a WE tool). Got anything else that might be helpful? I have UMSWE 4.0 but I don't belive it works in latest BNet Patch (1.16). I have WE Unlimited, and I was thinking of getting AMAI, But I think WE Unlimited uses AMAI. I also have Heavylock. Anything else?

Im gonna have to reccomend WEU, if you don't have it it's in my Sig. This editor brings out the most you can get off world editor. Everything to new custom triggers to new options in creating custom units. You can also create better special effects and better cinematics, along with multi boards. And you can use up to 16 tiles than the regular 7-8 depending on which ones you choose. Though this is just my suggestion, I'm sure many others have different opinions

I don't think there's anything else obvious, but AMAI isn't an editor. It's the Advanced Melee AI.

UMSWE was merged with WEU.

WEU: Recommended world editor
AMAI: Just an Advanced Melee AI.
Heavy Locker: Protector/Optimizer.

You could use all three of them if you wanted, they don't interfere with eachother.

I think that HeavyLock is also down-for-the-count with the latest patch, but I'm not fully sure.

Personally, I use standard WE, and I don't find it at all lacking. I used to protect maps with HeavyLock, but there are other protection methods, and I don't protect maps very much any more anyway. AMAI is great, if you need a melee AI. I don't, and AI is something that you can manipulate to your own needs using the AI editor and Triggers.

Nah, I just got done reading about it. It still optimizes maps and shrinks filespace, but it no longer protects maps because of patch 1.16.
