Help with WUE

[Deep Sea Kraken]

I just got WUE and i dont get how it works. my world editor isnt any different. I'm confused. How does it work? What does it do?

And my world editor doesnt make a new map [by default] when i open it anymore

Soz if this is the wrong forum

The Weu, makes it so you can have doodads above blizzards max size, a very usefull thing (go to start < programs < WE Unlimited < WE Enhancer[to create a new map with the ability to go above the max size limit])
Inside the WE Enhancer there are some other options, by click custumize toolset you can then add more tiles maxing to 16 tiles way above blizzards preset, amoung with options like extended trigger options prebuilt trigger systems, hero glow modles so you can make thoses hero modles that dont have one or normal wc3 units have one, tree modles so you can make units have tree modles, make it so you can build on unbuildable tiles, and more however i beleive there are tooltips if you hover your mouse over each check box, i warn you on protecting your map with WE Enhancer though.. as you may block your map from your self =P.
Also allows the user to raise terrain higher then blizzards presets, so now you can make thoses realistic hills, and mountains.
There are probably some features that i did not mention but there should of been a how to with your instalation or at least with mine there was.. not fully complete but it was helpful.
I might check helper net too if you'd like to find tuts about WEU, they have tuts on just about everything >.< lol

hmmm. can i do it to maps i already have?

Yes, although i recomend that you backup your map first, (copy and paste into a hole other location with a diffrent name)
I personaly have had it corrupt a map, but since i backed it up first i just went through the proccess again and walla ^^, nothing big to worry about as long as you keep a backup which wc3 can corrupt files too so its not really a new thing (it only has done it once out of like the 30 maps just pure warning though)
Side note: it cannot for some reason make, a map with colored Map name text Example The map example it will go hahahah NO lol, so you'll have to ether do that in the WEU(warcraft editor unlimited) instead of WEE (warcraft editor enhancer) or deal with out a colored game title

I attached an image showing a colored map name and then the error afterwards, however you can as it seems color the author name.

[Shougun]

Which map are you working on, or just gettin used to WEU?

[Deep Sea Kraken]

I dont really have anything im working on. There is a map i want to make [based on a movie i saw], i dont think it would require many custom files. As far as i know it would only need a model of a tiger. The movie its based on is called: Night Watch, but that isnt an exiting name for a game so the name of the game ould be: The Others [in the movies Others are people with special abilities; i.e. shape shifting witch craft vampires etc]. I think the game play would be something like 11th vampire [there are lite/dark others; they are essentiially the same exept whom they chose to serve] And there is a Powerful other [like Dave in 11th] except he wouldnt change side by dying; he does o by choise, or can go solo [although i might have to change that in some way] It would be difficult, because of how they feed [they dont rly eay people] and ect, so i might have to change alot. I havent started yet; i just saw the movie [like today] and need to see it a few more times.

 

[Shougun]

Lol, im i dreaming or did like a day ago that hole post get changed, you said it was creep keep before i thought i didnt have time to respond the other day, however i would be willing to help terrain, you just will ether need to host it on bnet or send it to me (i beleive you asked for terrain help for it)
You'll just have to tell me what your going for and if the camera is going to be normal or third person.
This new map, eh sounds fun ive never seen that movie though >.< lol

 

[Deep Sea Kraken]

Yeah i did change it. Creep Keep was an old project, that i dropped [its basically finished], and i forgot that i dropped it.

The cam will be normal [maybe a little farther out or closer up than usual, but not much]. Well in the movie it takes place in preseant day, but i dont want to use the modern wc3 [i dont like the way it looks].

Whats your wc3 account? mine is: Custom.King [chieftan of clan cgk]. I would like it to have: a city part part in the middle. then various areas. Like; a barrens area; a snowy area; a forest are; a lake area; And in the middle [or rough middle] of city there should be a kinda fortifies [in a terrain way] location for the important people in the city [king, queen, etc] but not too big.

i will make a base terrain for you [the size, maybe pick where the areas go]. [lorderon winter would work the best for terrain i think] and send it to you.

And i can work on unit/trigger data [although not quite all of it] in a diff map then import it.

And yes i will give you [and anyone else who helps] full credit; just incase you were curious.
