oh, another thing while in the task manager, is setting affinity towards Worldedit.exe this sets allows you to set your processors solely for WE. It allows you to have an option depending on how many processors you have you can choose set all button or select how ever many processors you want to devote to the process. I have 2 CPU 0, CPU1, this helps greatly

You are my god

 

[PratamaJr]

[Oljin]

Thank you so much! That's what I've been looking for!

I was just tranlsating my whole object data bank from german to english, and it was just killing me with this lag!

THANKS!

Just want to add another thing:

When editing really large maps with lots of doodads, you will notice a small freeze every 3 seconds (even when doing nothing!). While this does not affect the object editor, it's really annoying when terraining.

To prevent this, use the same method described in the opening post but disable the minimap. This particular lag is caused by the periodical updating of the minimap picture.

You might want to use the minimap to navigate, though; unfortunately, I haven't found a way to prevent the minimap from updating without removing the minimap window as a whole.

I noticed this too. I also hide the previewer. Not sure if it helps or not, but my maps have over 20,000 doodads and it's very nice to not have the freeze every 3 seconds. Especially when trying to raise or lower something. I think it's worth it to navigate the old fashioned way. (or just bring up the minimap, move where you want, and hide it again)

How to set "Above Normal" on the Win8.1? :O

 

[Filmting]

You can do this!? For all these years... thx!

 

[freeTS]

This is awesome! Just tested it and it helps out a lot.

Finally I can stop postponing adding all the new units I need for my TD.

 

[Mathmusician]

sweet, I never knew this and I always hated the lag caused from tooltip changes and unit creation. Thanks!!!!

 

[Eetheart]

I did not know this. Thank you!

 

[Warseeker]

Nice and helpfull tutorial, now that helped me a lot. But I don't know why it take to much time in order to save a big sized map of 7.54 Mo?

 

[RED BARON]

Wow, I never knew this.. So many hours wasted.. Holy shit.. Pardon. Damn, I feel the need to start mapping again just because of this.

 

[Master Pels]

Thanks for the tip

 

[Kazeon]

Wow! Can't believe I find this thread again after all these years. I firstly knew the World Editor like 6 years ago, and we only have 1 computer back then, and it's really slow. Without knowing these tips, I wouldn't continue learning about WE since the first place. Because you know, without these tips, the WE runs very slow. Legend witnessed!

EDIT:
Meh, maybe this thread was not the one I saw back then. But still, it contains legendary tips

 

[TaKky]

I spent a decade not knowing this.

 

[verstefyren]

Hahahahah, I just spent 15 years (YEARS!!!) without this knowledge. Learning new stuff like this amuse me, thnaks >x)

 

[huylk]

newcomer need this tutorial!! thank you

 

[Goblintrain]

It is May of 2018, and the information in this old post here still saved me when i cracked open the WorldEdit again last week!

 

[LordTalbot]

NOOOOOOOOO

Nobody told me. I map since 2005. My last map has 570 custom units it took about 40 seconds at the end to do a single change when I translated the map and added copies of all units to have it bilingual. For each unit I had to wait for Name, Editor suffix, tooltip, extended tooltip
Now it's 2018, I have pretty much finished all my warcraft 3 projects and now I learn about this Just opened my map, removed the checker and i can save changes instantly...lol...

That's what you get for ignoring hive until 2017 I guess

 

[StormyG7]

I just had to log in, post/bump, just to say this saved me hours on a project I'm making thousands of units for.

 

[OutsiderXE]

Wow... i have been using the editor since wc3 beta and never knew about this.

 

[Silva]

Thanks! Helped a lot.

 

[Dr.Techies]

This thread helped me a lot. Thank you for this tutorial. Now i can change name & add custom units quickly without waiting.
