Height Limit

[Gilles]

Is there any way to raise the height limit in the WE? I have MiscData, and I have tried WEU. Neither do it.

I want my mountains to go higher than they currently are. They max out pretty quickly.

 

[Belgarath]

Try making everything low and then making them higher

 

[Gilles]

Everything is low.

You would probally have to edit a Warcraft III file.

Try these sites and use like a search function or something:

http://www.warcraft3campaigns.net

 

[Gilles]

I did.

Pretty sure your right. No easy way of doing it.

I use miscdata too.. my hills go way out of teh map

 

[Wolverabid]

If you're using MiscData.txt and it's properly placed:

...create the UI folder inside your Warcraft III directory (wherever it is: mine is in D:\Warcraft III\UI) then place the MiscData.txt inside that folder.

You can then configure it to exceed slope limits. Simply set:

MaxSlope=90

That should do it.

 

[Pyritie]

It doesn't work if you're using WEU though :\

 

[Gilles]

Mine is set to 90. I just checked. I can raise cliffs vertically, but it still tops out.

It is the right spot too. C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\UI

I'll try re downloading miscdata.

What do you mean pyritie? If I am using WEU The miscdata doesn't work?

I dl a new one. It still won't work. I tried to edit the max hight.

// Global height limits
// 0 = low ground, each cliff level = 128
MaxHeight=9000
MinHeight=-128

I set max to 10000, it went a little higher I think, but then it starts to cave in. The top starts to go down, and it looks like a volcano.

Now I can't fix it. My raise tool is screwed.

Edit2: Now my problem is I can't use MiscData.txt without screwing up WE. Whenever I max out the height it goes straight to the ground. It's hard to explain, but it's really annoying. Also I found out that MiscData can only go so high. 900 is not enough for me, and when I changed it to 13000 it barely made a difference. Not even a cliff level.

 

[Eleandor]

It's "normal"... the limit must be hardcoded or something

 

[Pyritie]

What do you mean pyritie? If I am using WEU The miscdata doesn't work?

Correct. You can always terrain in regular WE and then do everything else in WEU and it'll look fine.

I set max to 10000, it went a little higher I think, but then it starts to cave in. The top starts to go down, and it looks like a volcano.

Same happens here, and I don't think that's a miscdata problem. Again it's because of super-tall mountains.

You can always use blizzard cliffs when you get that high and then just rampify them.

 

[Gilles]

Really? Well it's ugly.

Shame that the height limit is so low. I suppose this can be closed. My questions have been answered.

 

[DungeonM]

Its definetly hardcoded. What happens when you raise it to high is the value just inverts to the negative, I'm not too sure but I think I found if you kept raising it a while after it flips then you'll start seeing it come back up from underneath. Again not sure, last I tried this was a long time ago.

And to the person who said to use Blizzard cliffs I'm pretty confident that this will not work as you'll run into the same problem.

 

[Darkholme]

Isnt there an option in Weu to turn off terrain limits? its in the preloader. I think it makes the cap bigger/removes it. yes no?

 

[Pyritie]

No, WEU can only disable the angle restrictions. (So you can make better cliffs, etc)

 

[Gilles]

I think it may raise the limit on height. miscdata does for sure.
