Maps are incompatible.

I just was um *handed* the gold war3 release.
THe maps that come with it do not open with beta editor. Zepirs editor doesn't open them either.
The editor doesn't work becuase the thing keeps looking for a cd even tho I have a burnt one.
The Human Campaign Cinematic is gorgeous tho :)

I heard from a friend (who knows some people from blizzard), that official maps are Protected, like what we want to do with the maps right now. So you can't open or edit them.

weaadar, from who/where were u "handed" the gold wc3?....Talk to zepir, maybe he can help u, hes good at those stuff :D.

What I really want to know is do the existing custom maps work with the final WE? I don't want to lose all the triggers :)

Well its sort of illegal for me to speak of these things since my friend recieved the game early, and he burnt me a copy I found some crack for the game since the exe wants to use the real cd not the iso. Anyway the game seems to play alot BETTER. I've only played a 2 player lan (No annoying bnetd huray!) game and some of the campaign but the game plays much smoother.
The game seems to be 1.35 of the beta. there are some diferences between 1.34 and the final most notably some of the tried and true ladder maps we've been playing have some changes...
Theres alot more maps and theres a very fun new map on Northrend terrian which is absulotely gorgeous. Wow damn I wish I could make terrian.

i found the game weaadar :D

please do NOT post links to download the warez version of this game, thank you.

I didn't post it!

The final WE does not open beta custom maps. Start converting your triggers to text folks or we can wait until someone figures out how to get all the triggers over to the final we.

it wasn't directed at you! :)

I ain't touching that with a 10-foot pole. i'm going to get my pristine, legit, unhacked Collector's Edition with a real, unique CD-Key, and let it sit without any corrupting influence on my hard drive.

Of course, that has nothing to do with modding tools....:rolleyes:

It sure would be nice to read the WE help file though. I'm tired of my 'chaste' version:) I wonder if it's just one little *.hlp file or something.

It opened my custom map i made with beta 1.32 almost perfect. gave me 4 invalid objects. rest looks great.

*edit: final World Editor is nice. whole lot of new stuff to play with.

All maps that were just standered mellee seem to work fine here, its the ones with all the pretty triggers that have problems :)

Note: MY CDKEY IS LEGIT.
B: I Got mine from a real GOLD CD. (very cool looking orc on it)
C: I couldn't keep the cd becuase my freind wasn't suppose to give it to me yet. So I made an Iso then download the hacks from razor.

I'm sure. The beta cd had an orc on it too.

Please don't brag just because you got a hacked gold version. Even if what you say is true, I think the rest of us will wait for the actual game.
