Hey i have a request from leaflord - his site is www.gilgarn.org go to leaflords archives and check out some of his maps..

The request is if you ahve any recording equipment.. Keep Reading




Anyone want to be an actor for a little bit? Want to....

Sheesh... I feel like a commercial person...

Anyway, want to help me out with my new map? I need voices for charachters. If so, you need some sort of recording equipment, just say in dramatic tones:

"This cannot be not allowed to happen!" - Determined, very serious, slightly angry
"The great tower of Althena..." - (Ale-then-a [ n in "then" like n in "thin" ] ) Awed, in wonder of, slightly cautious
"Never!" - Your cliched climax battle cry to the below:
"Give up." - Like Darth Vader, sort of. Calm, effortless.



-NEVER Mind that position is filled... ill get another characters script up soon!!
-THNX


If you read this and send the files to my address itll be great help thanx.. Note: Very important... Your Voice if you are good might go into his map, Tale Of the Triad.... its an epic RPG... Very good when its finished ill psot it on this site...

I am a terrible designer but good with triggers. Can you give me some tips on designing?

 

[US-Playboi-US]

Like wat scenery.. or waterfall looks... hmm.. likie that kinda stuff?

 

[FleshRipper[pd]]

I need hlp with hills,terrain o nm. I need hlp with everything that has to do with designing! From Texture to Waterfalls

 

[US-Playboi-US]

lol... ok thats kind of an imagination thing.. Some tips:

Make a Mountain all around the map.. not a perfect square kinda bumpy in places.. on the outside of teh camera bounds...

also waterfalls are EZ jstu make a small mountain about 1 lvl up.. and then put deep water on the bottoms surface.. and shallow water on teh cliff it should make an opening.. all you do.. is put some waterfalls.. on it and add some doodad rocks.. then VOILA! you have waterfalls..... Also if u get ums editor it helps make doodads bigger or smaller than normal.

 

[US-Playboi-US]

Also if you wanna make a custom tile set its easy... if i can remember at the top where al the things like File, Edit, etc.. look in them al until you see a little pullout menu that says Advanced..
Hover over it.. then go to modify tileset remove the ones you dont like and add the ones you want you only have 12 spaces and the ones with a red square cannot be removed or added.. liek the snow tile..

For Smog's Question

i really need a detailed guide on how to make a Tower defense map like all the triggers and stuff. Also some ideas would be appreciated. I want to make something that noone has made yet........ i have a good idea plz help me

Tower Defense maps are quite easy..
You just make ur play area.. then you make the starting region(s)
and Ending Region.

Then make a trigger like this

Event:
Units - All units in playable map area owned by neautral hostile are dead

Condition:

Action:
Units - Create (?) (Whatever Spawned Unit is) center of whatever the start region is

Unit - Order All units in region To move to the regions you want the end if its a straight line

Trigger - Turn on (THE NEXT TRIGGER)

Make a couploe trigers like that and itll be done.

As for Squall's Question

I have a question, I heard in another war3 forum that you can edit the campaign maps. I remember very little, so if you know could you help me out? Thanks.

Download The MPQ View and extract the map files they have (youll see which ones cause i think they say Campaign1 Campaign2.. etc..)

Then Edit them If that doesnt work then nothing will..

Thanx for the Q's Keep Sendnig them also Smog if you need more help just Email me ATLPLAYAHATA@hotmail.com

[US-Playboi-US]

When you save your map save it under the maps section in your warcraft directory then host a game...

 

[Khono]

I've got a question

Is there any way to make a building upgrade to a different building without using the default buildings (change scout tower to basic, change guard and cannon to the arrow and catapult). And if so, how does one do it?

Thanks, peace,

 

[PsYcHoTiC]

Here's one for you playboi. I wanna know how to alter characters skills, for example, make starfall do 300 dmg per second, or my storm hammer do 200/500/800 dmg in level 1 2 and 3. I played a map that had tons of crazy changes like these but it was uneditable. Is there an add-on to the map editor or what? thanks

 

[US-Playboi-US]

Well..

For Khono
Well if you want that then change the unit used in teh upgraded form. Like To make a Scout Tower Upgrade to a Spirit Tower just change the unit used to spirit tower for Gaurd Tower. Also change the damage to wat you want.. wuite easy need more help post here



For Psychotic

I have 2 words for you "Spell Editor" you can download one at http://www.wc3campaigns.com under downloads section i dont edit spells but its qutie easy just find yhe blank that says the dmg and it should work more questions post here

 

[PsYcHoTiC]
