[General] Game Data Set-differences

[Shade Da Scout]

So I discovered there is a "game data set" (scenario-map properties-options-game data set)

The current GDS for my map is "default (based on map melee status)"
what will change if I change it to "Custom" or "Melee (latest patch)"?

will triggers, abilities, unit change?what will happen?:|

For me (i dont really know thought)

Melee is the default because your triggers,abilities,units use the Warcraft III engine default codes

If you put custom you must provide some code to run your triggers,abilities,units, aside from Warcraft III engine which means it may cause problem..

Custom I think will alter some informations in your map like in Gameplay Constants and such...

Default -> Original WC3 TFT if custom, lattest patch if melee.
Latest Patch -> Always latest patch.

Triggers are not part of the data set so are not affected in any way.
What it does mean is that buildings like the Undead Necropolis will have either their very strong piercing attack (original version) or their weaker slow attack (patched version).

If you are basing your map off modifier melee, you will want to use the latest patch as that includes all balance changes.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

so if I change it to "latest patch" only standard units, structures, abilities and heroes will change?
custom units,... remain unchanged?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes although that is only true for modified fields. Unmodified fields will be altered to reflect the balance changes performed to the base unit.
