[Import] adding global variables to a map using a text editor+mpq software

[Ender]

is it possible to add globals to a map using a text editor and mpq software?

i have edited warmap.j and added the variable there(it is a boolexpr if it matters),

but it cannot be accessed, how can i make so that i can use it?

You have to use jass to use it. Otherwise, to create the variables to use in GUI afaik you have to edit the .wtg file. Of course, it is encrypted though.

Scroll down to 14) "war3map.wtg" The triggers name file to get a bit more information on how to edit it. I haven't done it myself though.

Why you just want to add 1 variable?

Anyway, the JNGP is the easiest way to declare globals without the use of a mpq browser. You may also consider to edit the TriggerData.txt file to make a variable available in GUI as a non-editable constant if you're mad against the JNGP.

thanks for your help Tirlirir, and PurgandFire, I went with Tilititi's suggestion and changed TriggerData.
