Know of any good tutorials/walkthroughs on getting started with map ed?

[thewrathofgod]

I'm looking for several threads, editorials, walkthroughs and tutorials that give a descriptive intro to the wc3 world editor. I am also looking for more advanced ones. I have several already, but anymore would be a plus. I'm especially interested in customizing. For instance, instead of using the abiltiy, unit editors and such, maybe just using my own code and modifing the heros, abilities and triggers without using the specialized editors? Kind of like making a VB program I guess. I code what I want in the body of the map or where ever I need to put it and save the different classes and functions so I can use them on other maps without manually changing all of the variables listed on the diff editors.

Any and all posts will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Dude, read the sticky.. usually you can take a map apart and see what it's creator did and see if you can duplicate it.. than make it better... just mess around and if you computer reboots in mid map... start over again....

hey dood check out www.w3campaigns.com they got some really good tutorials. Hey dont worri thou w3 editor is really easy to use and learn. What i did when i first started off was i opened a map blizzard made and got the general idea of it. The design of the map and the layout of the map was easy but the hard part i got stuck on was the triggers...maybe its easy for u cuz u got experience in diff comp languages but for me it was askin the same damn noob questions over and over again....hey for unit creation, u cant create a unit out of triggers but u can customize the look of it by skinning how the unit looks by a diff program such as milkshape and importing it over to ur map to use...for spells and abilities thou these are a blast to map out of jass or triggers....hey we all learn from mistakes and each other...shit good look dood
