Gameplay constants?

[Wyggles]

Hey, i am new to map modding, but i've done programming before, including Flash A.S., Java, JavaScript, CSS/HTML, PHP, and some others. I love the editor, but i was just wondering, a lot of things i see require you to change the gameplay constants, and all the faq's or guides i see say you go to Advanced>Gameplay Constants. I go to advanced but gameplay constants isn't there? I'm using the RoC editor, is it only in the TFT editor or something? Please help.

Methinks TFT-only, but I've only used TFT's WE so I'm not sure.

yeh its only tft. most things in the editor are only tft now.

tft is not expensive, go buy it!

I figured it out, I installed TFT last night. So now I have a question, since they both use the same WE now, when i make maps in that can i save them as w3x AND w3m? Or do i have to use a converter or something, or can i just not make w3m(RoC) maps? I've had TFT but i just liked playing RoC for...well I don't really know why, my friends play it and that's what I have maps for and gotten used to. I don't really feel like switching everything up. Speaking of..what are the main differences between TFT and RoC?

well aside from the new units and gameplay the main difference is the variability of the new editor. it had nearly limitless potential. there are lots of cool new function, trigger, abilities and things that can be easily edited.

well a map will be saved as w3m as long as it only features Reign of Chaos functions. but if you make a w3x function, it will be saved as w3x

OK sweet thanks guys. You have been a real help. I think i'm gonna start using TFT now, but it may be hard for me to actually switch over to playing TFT...i dunno, i don't have all my old maps and stuff, and i'm scared of change . You'll definitely see me around here more, posting with more questions, ideas, and maps. .
