Adding more terrain tiles

[Palin_Twinblade]

I am figuring alot of people have wondered about this. When you are trying to make a map with alot of different zones you need alot of terrain tiles. But imo the editor doesnt give you enough tiles to have on your map at the same time.

I was thinking maybe able to do with triggers or maybe some settings to increase the amount of types of tiles you can have. I am a pretty good terrainer (atleast no one said it sucked and usually say its good .)
but I know very little Jass or in depths of the Editor settings.

Looking forward to the responses

I believe that the number of tiles they allow in a single map has to do with map size. It's not just something like "Oh, 14 (I believe that to be the WE limit) sounds like a good number, it will totally piss all these hardworking modders off", but that there are actual issues with map size or lag for exceeding whatever the number is.

Use WEU enchanser. It permits you many custom terrain. In a map i had about 16 i think. When the WE normal can hold up to 7 i think.

Teh_Ephy, when you say 14 you mean the terrain size ? As i know, there are terrains that ''cost'' 2 and others 1.... i didnt actually got that...

 

[Teh_Ephy]

I believe 14 to be the total cost allowed for tilesets in WE. Yes, I know that many tiles cost 2 instead of 1.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

well i relise why some cost 2 and 1. if you look the ones that cost 1 are usually the stone diamond patterns or marble, etc that are very simple. usually the ones that cost 2 is the detailed grass and everything that has 4 or more different patterns.

Also I relise they just didn't decide just to piss off its just i want to know if I can increase it or not cause it would be nice to have more. I'm pretty sure normal we has more then 7 because default tilesets are like 10-12. WEU does give there custom sets of tiles to give you like tiles that usually are only there for cliffs but it doesnt expand how many you can use.

WEU can have up to 16 tiles, and makes all tiles only "cost" 1.

Fact.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

i use WEU and there is alot of tiles that cost 2. huh maybe im misunderstanding

To acquire the 16 tiles, you must create the map using WEU Enchancer.

enhancer is that a seperate download or in weu main menu? cause it sounds vaguely familiar but can't remember where i've seen that.

I didn't understand a word of that.

Did you put in the campaigns folder? Do you have TFT? Do you have the latest patch?

Here is not the place to talk about that.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

oh i didn't really mean you had to answer it was just something was bringing to your attention and didn't mean to start the conversation here thats why its in a p.s. so finish the off topic-ness back on-topic!
mwuhaha ^.^

 

[Pyritie]

The enhancer is in the Program Files/WEU Folder. It has an icon of sylvanas in undead form.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

nvm thats what opens the menu.... stupid me k maybe i get the 16 tiles then but i know some costs 2. so now i just wanna figure out if u can increase the max still guess its not a real biggie but still would be nice.

p.s. i have 2 do this doing ur campaign now very...odd.. but other then disturbing acting everything else is good. oh and music hate it its on v for vendetta too

If it's about my campaign, post it in the appropriate thread, in the map development forum.
That song is called Yakity Sax, and it's quite old. It was also the theme song for some TV show called Benny Hill, I believe.

If you're adding tiles via the Enhancer, then it doesn't matter if they cost 1 or 2. That's the beauty of it.
