expansion for editor?

[orkstorm]

HI

First message here!

Anyways, i need some help: Is it worth getting the expan. for wc3? i mean i know it's got all cool new features and units but do people play that online still? cos i heard everyone just plays roc right now? I really want to get it cos before i made an awesome map(on roc) which had a harbour on each island (12 islands) and you could move from island to beach to ships which could float and rest on the beach while soldiers got onboard etc and my computer just went KAHOOOOOOING-KAPHUT-PHUT-PHUT-BEEYyyyooooo.... or something like that and deleated my map, so pls, is it worth it and do ppl still play custom games online on it?


thanks!

You heard ridiculously wrong. Most games are played on TFT. TFT is a more solid game. It's more fun. Many times more things are able to be done in TFT maps than any RoC, especially if you patch up. Get it.

Thanks!

I was wondering about this but now im sure! Frozen throne here i come! but one more question, do you have to do some special file transfers to get a roc map into tft? or does it just patch em up automatically 'cos i'm working on my "Battle for Azeroth" map and really don't want to start again on it!

when you install TFT, and open your map with world edit, all the new features will be available instantly to implement into your map.
But it will remain a RoC map until you use any of those new features. The editor tells you if your map is expansion-only or not when you save it with the new editor.

OK, thanks guys!

Man no one really play ROC that much all the action is on TFT alot of people play custom games most of which got banned for hacking so becare that map hackers dont play your game and make it unfair

 

[Panto]

Custom maps banned, eh? You're pretty full of it.

 

[The_Dota_Star]

lol no i got banned from playing ladder games so i play custom games

It's okay, i got a protection program to stop the hackers :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[darco9x2]

does the program protect the map? if not can u give me the program?

 

[orkstorm]

I would but its on this site anyways (im quite sure), its called the W3M Map Utilities and is awesome, it should be in the tools section I think and has 4 levels of protection with last one being simply un-open-able by WC3 or the editor so it is reccomended to make a copy or backup of your map incase something goes wrong, if you can't find it then i'll see if i can upload it on here or at least put a link to it

I think it's just shit to protect maps... Think of all maps that could be like 100 x times better if people could share the knowlage to the rest of all the map makers.. People could learn from others who made those aswome maps. Maps would get more quality.

But this is just my opinium..

It would be 1,000 times better if they unprotected the maps, andno one online would be retarded any try to steal or rig the map.

yea it would be good if they were unprotected coz then you could look at the triggers and stuff to help you on the map your making. but there are to many people out there who would just change the name and claim they made the map
