Hi, modding beginner here, so please excuse my greenness.
Is there a way to edit the gameinformation outside of the world editor and edit the war3map.w3i directly?
( or am i looking at the wrong file?)
I extracted the file from the MPQ archive but when i open it in Notepad++ all it gives me is a very crude that makes like 50% sense.
problem is: Ever since the patch hit, whenever i open the map in world editor it crashes and even without loading my map my warcraft 3 installation becomes unplayable (shows a couple memory errors when i try to launch). The map still can be played though. So until Blizzard fixes the issue i am editing the war3map.j file directly and putting it back in.
I just want to change the fields: Suggested Players & and add a meaningful game description to my map.
i can see my entrys in notepad++ but i can't edit them or it just shows nonsense in lobby
Unrelated to my problem but i am very curious to know about the "in Lobby display":
Is it known whether it is possible to manipulate the Map Size and Tileset fields to display some useful information? ( wouldn't it work if you make a copy of a tileset and rename it to a tutorial information?)
Has someone ever found a way to enter text in that big empty space below the tileset field?
I kinda hate how there is no way to give players information about the game while they are waiting in the lobby. I feel i would get alot less leavers if people would be able to guess what the map is about.
