Good news, the World Editor still exists, it's simply been moved. It seems the new update moved the World Editor and changed the way it works a bit. However, the old trick of making a folder called [War3.mpq] with a .txt file called UI containing a line which would enable you to make sharp...

Hello guys, I recently read a paper (El-Nasr, Magy Seif, and Brian K. Smith. "Learning through game modding." Computers in Entertainment (CIE) 4.1 (2006): 7.), which discusses the potential of using game modding tools like the World Editor or Half life's tools to educate students on computer...

Since the new Wc3 update, I've been having a blast with the new editor and making sweeping changes to my maps. BUT I am faced with a new problem, a lot of the folders I could see before are gone, and this includes the means to edit the World Editor and make it possible to have sharply raised...

Hey guys So I'm doing some custom race design and I've decided I really want this race to feature a "you can only build near our buildings" mechanic for buildings similar to the undead's blight or power fields from the protoss race in Starcraft. Ideally, I'd simply be able to duplicate the...
