3D Map Preview

Hi,

How is it possible to make a map like: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/attachme...6&d=1153798844

I have searched for it so long now, that i'm starting to get crazy ! :)

Oh and i used to use W3M Tools in the past, but found it it has been discontinued apparently... Any new Toolpackages out there ?

Thx in advance ! :)

hum lol... this map is normal... just zoom - on your map..

Seriously ? And then take a screenshot ?

On this page are a few pictures like that too: http://www.battle.net/war3/maps/war3bonusmaps.shtml

yes seriously..

Just take a screenshot of the map area, and import it to "war3mapPreview.tga" (or "war3mappreview.tga"; I'm not sure which).

There are threads on this, just search around.

Woah, the link i gave above was actually a bit wrong... I know how to change the "war3mapPreview.tga" (the preview people see on the roght in-game), BUT i want to know how you can make 3D map preview like the following pictures:

PS: abriko: When i try to zoom out that far, the map dissapears from the above to the bottem, when i try to zoom in again, it appears again... I can however select "View entire map" and THEN zoom out, but then i'm seeing everything from straight above.

Yes i know.. to make it visible, you have to scroll with your mouse with clicking CTRL.


http://www.battle.net/war3/images/ma...tice-3dmap.jpg ... easy : zoom -, screenshot, open it in photoshop and paste screenshot of goldmine, goblin etc with a shadow effect.

You need an introduction to World edior camera, my friend.
(left/right/middle mouse button)
LMB: Do stuff
RMB: Move the map around by dragging. drag far to scroll.
MMB: nothing as far as i can tell
RMB+CTRL (hold it down): drag mosue to adjust camera angle
Scroll Wheel: Zoom in / out
Scroll Wheel+CTRL: adjust draw distance (the WE will only draw stuff within a short distance by default. thus, the map disapears when you zoom out)

V: 'game view' (as it will look in-game)
CTRL+Shift+C: Reset view
C: lock to game camera. Scroll wheel will tilt camera up and down instead of zooming.

Theres a bunch more camera controls too, but for me, these are the most used.

Thank you all for helping me out... Finally got it !

Advanced -> View Entire Map.

nice try, tho
