Add extra tilesets

[JakeCake]

Hello there fellow mappers .. I would like to know how to add extra tilesets (over the 13 or whatever it messured in), is it posible to edit some file to do this? Or do I have to download the UE? Also what up & down's are there by adding more tilesets? I know they have to be loaded at game-start, but really a 128x128 image can't take long to load..

So if anyone know anything about anything I wrote, please post a comment.. I need it.

If someone know a way to do this, even without the uWE, that would be perfect, since I really would like to make my map openable with the totaly stadard editor

as far as i know, i think the only way to do it is with "World editor unlimited"

Yeah, I think you need WEU. But I think you can just add the tilesets, and then open the map as usual, without having to use WEU to open it. So shouldn't be a real problem.

Not WEU, JassNewGenPack (JNPG) can do it as well i thing. I believe it's UMSWE.

Thank you all for your replies I simply used WEU as I was told to, added the extra tilesets with the enchanter, closed it, and opened the level in the standard world editor and everything works just fine now. The extra loading time of the level is not noticable. My only question remaning is, why did Blizzard set a maximum number of tilesets in the begining anyway? There must be some greater down-side than the unnoticeable loading time increase.. Anyone know the answer to this question? Please reply

As I see it, a standard tile-texture take up under 100kb space on the memory, am I wrong?

Well probably because they didn't really need to use more. The terrains in the campaigns and in the maps is not awsome, thus allowing them to use less tilesets, since they could design exactly which tilesets they needed.

Do not use WEU, I'm not even sure if it works with the newest patch.

You should be using Jass New Gen Pack, which contains a tool called UMSWE that adds multiple things to the WE.

Including tile changing.
