Couple Questions.

[Aaron7772]

I think their is somethin wrong with my the frozen throne, because for some reason i can't open other peoples maps! it always says trigger data missing or invalid or some crap like that. Glitch? Virus? what?! Another is, how do you change the color of the text for the loading screen and ingame messages and stuff. Another is, in final fantasy open rpg ( or somthin like that ) on the loading screen, it has LONG ASS TEXT going down the right side. How do you do dat? Because im tired of people diing from not knowing what to do. Another good question, and on the same subject, how do you change the Quests Menu into like a help menu...or somthing. Thx if you can help :wavey EDIT: Another quick question, some of the spells i've seen in other games are....freaking cool looking. How do they do some, i just got the hold of making units, then making a spell to summon them. Like yesterday, i saw some dude use some spell that sent spiral flames shooting towards the enemy from all sides, then his hero jumped up and sliced him like 5 times, then he did a backflip and stabbed the ground, making a shockwave or somthin. Im sitting there going O_O

Map makers usually protect their maps so that leechers won't see how they did certain things or steal the map and pretend it's theirs.

Another is, how do you change the color of the text for the loading screen and ingame messages and stuff.

You can change text in the Scenario > Map Loading Screen options in the editor. Or maybe it was a custom loading image, not normal text. It is greatly explained there: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/loadscreen.php
For the colors, use color codes... There are plenty of tools to generate them, like Chaos Spectrum (www.wc3sear.ch).

Another good question, and on the same subject, how do you change the Quests Menu into like a help menu...or somthing. Thx if you can help :wavey

Create quests that explain things... Each quest has a different subject (like How to Play, Credits, etc.). For quest creation search the forums, it is too long to explain.

I am not expert in this, but you need to know JASS and complicated methods to make custom spells. Otherwise just use already made spells and models and change the values.

Damn man...thanks. Searching the forums right now for QC.

Changing colours is easy. Download wc3color!

All this program does is generate the code for the text you want coloured.

Be warned, some colors will not work in the game, so you have to go through a lot of experimentation .

As I said, there are lots of programs out there that can do the job. I use Chaos Spectrum because the interface is clean, user-friendly, and there are lots of blending modes (single blend, double blend, random colors, etc.).

Yea, i just went to that world tutorials, copied and pasted the code and type |r at the end. Btw i found a really easy, cheap way to make quests. Just make it so when someone types -Quests, it pops up a menu with different quests. Say i want to learn more info on the Gnoll Camp quest, i would type -quests, then it would bring up a menu saying type -gnoll camp, -ancient hydra, ect. for info on that quest. Then have a trigger for when a certain thing dies, or when you enter a certain region (depending on the quest) it triggers Gnoll Camp Quest Complete. I have used that all so far. BTW is there any way to make it so instead of copying and pasting the trigger for -help like 1000000 times for each person, can i make it all one trigger?

I think there is no way to do so currently... You have to use different triggers for each "Player - Chat Message" event.

 

[tassadar920]

Just repeat the event in the same trigger and use "triggering player" when referencing which player caused the trigger to fire.

 

[Aaron7772]

...so all in one trigger, have like 8 events? huh...makes since i suppose

 

[Father_Chaos]

Oh yes right... Excuse me, I forgot events can run with any of them applying... In my head it was all of them .
