Anyone get by the level 10 limit?

I've been trying to hack the level 10 limit for my game, or atleast modify the EXP rate. But allowing levels higher would look more 'unused', I've tried changing UnitMetaData and changing level 10 to 20 but it won't work, it still stops at 10. Anyone get it to work?

I don't know if it works for map implementation, but on my website you can find an article, which explains how to make that. I explained it there to edit miscdata.txt and then put it with WinMPQ into War3Patch.mpq.

Read it here or go to my website (signature).

Noooo, I knew that - but I need to know why when you import it into the MAP itself it doesn't read that, but instead from your local MPQ. If it's impossible to do then it's ok, I just want some special stuff that no one else has.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the level limit can only go up to 15 and doesn't work on Battle.net.

Its always fun to try to make the impossible possible though. If anyone does find a way, be sure to share the secret :dH:

When you've tested it with a map and it doesn't work then it WILL NOT WORK. I know no other way (this one is good for mods).

Read my article and see that level 10000+ is possible. But you are right, it doesn't work on B.net.

Would it be at all possible if every player had the same patch.mpq?? It'd work then, wouldn't it?

Yes, it would, but why the hell do you people edit the patch mpq? You realize mpqdraft DOES work with war3?

No, not with the official version. I think you were it who said that it works in some other thread. Did you get your MPQDraft from someone at WC3Campaigns? If yes, then you got the hacked version from BlackDick (the same one Scio uses for UMSWE SEMPQ).

And yes, the official version works too. You can select the path for the executeable, but then it would only work if you keep Warcraft III in that folder. In addition to this, it'll work on other computers only if there Warcraft III is installed into the same folder.

Just be wise, and go back to za old SC mapping days, and have the lvls up in the in the game instead of on the character. Then make custom spells and abilities using JASS. Much more work, but the final product is just so much better = ). Too bad B.net limits maps to 4mbs = (.
Also, if two computers have the same files in the same places, you can bypass the lvl problem on B.net, but I don't think people will be too into changing their MPQs around all the time, then ya know, they could misplace one of their files, people would get confused, if more people used this system it'd get to be a major pain. But whatever, heh.

This is interesting stuff Starcraftfreak, I may post this on the tutorial sections of the site(once its up) since most people do not know how to alter the max levels yet. This is good for mods and single player campaigns.

Good Job

Shall I write a tutorial in DOC format? I'll do this also for "Editing MiscData.txt".

Anyway, if you know my website quite a while, then you may also know that these articles are online since august (I have no news archive, so there is no evidence, but this is true). I'm also writing a big tutorial for WinMPQ, which will be completed in the next few days. I'll post it to the "Tutorials" thread in the editing tools forum.

The version of MPQDraft is not a "cracked" version. It is quantum's official, hopefully soon to be released version. I have been trying to get him to public release it for awhile, and he did finally upload it to CC and give us a link, but until I get autorization from him or he decides to publicly release it I will not distribute it.

Uh, Dont write a tutorial on it. If that happens, the game is no fun. Anyone can do things then, its alot nicer when people dont know how, so they say Whoa! Cool!
