Basic Video Mapping Tutorial (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/gfx/tutorials/basicmaptutvid.rar)

[DragoonZombie]

Nice tutorial and you were understandable too.
Until point 4 it was.. well.. really for newbies. More like for those who havent even started WE once^^

The video was well made, but I didnt like those flashy effects like highlighting something or trying to get extra points by naming the mods^^ at the beginning

[Doctor-Pepper]

Hahahhaa, i didnt add mods for extra points. I just wanted an intro with a lot of names and as i made this alone and only for hive, why not to add names of admins ;)
I can add urs too in other tut if u want to ;)

[madman9800]

nice tutorial, would be very useful for a noob, great job man!

[Wolverabid]

This unique tutorial should be very helpful to newbie map makers who are unfamiliar with even the most basic features and functions of Blizzard's World Editor.

Every slightly experienced mapper, however, will have no need of it.

~ Post edited to reference the .rar file. Thread moved to General Mapping Tutorials.

It should probably be renamed, no one would know what this is about besides that it is basic and in video format.

[EDIT by Wolve] Good call. ~ Thread renamed.

Dr.pepper this video is great for noobs good job!!!:thumbs_up:

[nathanman]

Very nice tutorial, it should help noobies get to know what they are doing

[MeatSpin]

in Unit Editor where you have those upgrades, abilities etc.. i have only these: "new custom unit", "Terrain editor" , "Trigger editor" , "Sound Editor" , "Unit Editor" , "Object manager" and "test map".. and the question is: Why doesnt i have those "upgrades", "abilities" etc etc like you have? and how can i have those?

[inverted]

Thanks alot, im new to WE and this helped alot

[SpyMaster]

Wow WTF was That pepper that helped Shyt.... Thx .... I thought i Suck

[MadLordOfMilk]

As a total newbie to WC3 map editing, this video was awesome :) And hilarious! Thanks a ton, I've been wanting to get into making WC3 maps for a long time but had NO idea where to start.

[Doctor-Pepper]

nice to know that u found it usefull. even if wc3 is dead

[MadLordOfMilk]

My friends and I play all the time together and have been for a long time so for me it's anything but dead. :) I think the key thing about this tutorial is it's really one of the only things I've found that really gets you past that "I have no idea where to start" feeling.

I have tried to download this a couple times but it's not working:cry:. What am I supposed to download it to or am I supposed to download it at all:confused:?

[cul8er5]

Ok I was able to save it and find it, but now when I open it this new thing comes up that says, "Do you want to open or save?" so I click open and it takes me to a Internet explorer page then it closes and says "Do you want to open or save" again:cry:

[Worldedit10]

Im new in WE and this video helped me alot, but now i know everything in the video. Is there a video that can help me more?

[LordDz]

in Unit Editor where you have those upgrades, abilities etc.. i have only these: "new custom unit", "Terrain editor" , "Trigger editor" , "Sound Editor" , "Unit Editor" , "Object manager" and "test map".. and the question is: Why doesnt i have those "upgrades", "abilities" etc etc like you have? and how can i have those?

First. Patch warcraft III to max. Then you should have an object editor.

Worldedit, whatcha wanna know? Just pm me.

great tutorial lol, when i first started mapmaking i could understand how to increase the size of units, but this helped! :D

[Matanzes]

Wow awesome im new to mapmaker right now but i catch on quickly and your video helps alot.

But im new to the forums and all but is there a tutorial on here that can answer or maybe someone else can post response (Not sure if thats breaking any spam rules or something) but anyways , my question is..

:fp:Like for triggering the part where you walk into the circle of power and it spawns the units , i got that down , but like you left it for the action spawn for " player 1(red) " or whatever it says , well i want my friends to play also so what do i make that so whatever color walks on spawns the unit? Because i was testing , noticed the what the trigger said went to blue i walked on and it spawned a unit for red.

You can message me the response too , im not new to forums , just these forums :grin:

Again , good tutorial :thumbs_up:

Instead of allowing it to spawn for player 1, you have it spawn for "Owner of triggering Unit"

If and to do{make} video training program it is better in a format mp4, further we compress it{her} in the archiver and it{she} borrows{occupies} not enough place.

[DaKilla]

Thanks for your video tutorial!

I'm a total noob in WE so I think this will help me a lot^^

[Oklino]

great tutorial i wish there was more stuff like this (video tuts)!!!

but one thing i have missed or what i'd add is "how to spawn the picked hero at a different location". Ok it only took a few minutes to figure out but usually you don't let the hero spawn at the same region :)

but like it's been said many times before: great tutorial - a key to basic mapping!

[Slaydon]

You couldnt do it faste :P
"Warning Nerd Alert" xD

[MaryuZ]

the only thing i didn't know was the load screen mod(how do i make my own load screen?...like DotA?)
O...and the "u can add trees...U can add some more trees" part was very funny

[Malcous]

Nice! :)

[ebolavms2]

[Kaderan]
