[General] Finding wc3 map directory

[Null]

For testing my ai i need a map from wc3 map directory. Idk how to access that. PLs help me!

You can find the warcraft 3 maps in:

C:\Users\<your-windows-user-name>\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps

Is this what you were looking for?

In maps only the cusom and the downloaded are being showed

 

[Null]

the specific map path is too long. Try using maps from wc 3 directory, what do i do???

The Melee maps are stored in Download, each in a seperate folder.
For example:
C:\Users\<your-windows-user-name>\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\Download\8ed916737dc5d566db70723b4962f0c0c2bb90a9\(4)HillsbradCreek.w3x

If you have trouble opening it, take a copy and move it to another (shorter path:ed) location. When you are done, you can put it in "...Maps\MyCustomAIProject\<mapName>.w3x" and you will find the folder named "MyCustomAIProject" in-game

Even if i put a 2 letters name (Ed) it still says the path is too long.

The path the complete path to the file, including all the folders on the way to the file, for example "C:\Users\<your-windows-user-name>\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\MyCustomAIProject\(4)HillsbradCreek.w3x" is 101 characters long path and should be ok. But if you have several "8ed916737dc5d566db70723b4962f0c0c2bb90a9" paths, each 40 characters long, it is possible to reach the limit.

What is saying "the path is too long"? The editor? Warcraft 3? Windows? Other OS?
