I would recommend Jass New Gen Pack for 1.26

Trying to load , but it refuses to select my Warcraft III installation. I keep selecting the folder but the dialog just pops back up. Must be incompatible with 2.0

I could only get it to work by selecting my 1.31 installation, and even then it just crashed trying to load a 2.0 map.

Maps that are saved on 2.0. are INCOMPATIBLE with older versions.
Yet another example of how new Reforged update has a backward compatibility issues with older maps.

maps are never assumed to be backwards compatible once you saved them, it was just that we haven't had any meaningful changes in a long time. 2.0 has many issues but backwards compatibility is your own issue, do version controlling and keep older versions saved in your drive.

No, I actually started the map on 2.0. I tried expanding it, but no matter what I do, it crashes if I mess with the map dimensions in any way.

version 0.6 doesn't work with 1.32+, it's been this way for years, it's not changed.

Seems like i can not use it. I can't "Select Warcraft Directory", i selected game folder and window is open again. I have v. 2.0

Reforged version is not compatible with HiveWE 0.6. Bogdan had already said this multiple times.

First comment in 2025.

What language is the project written in? What is the development history and development difficulties?

Is there any development of compatibility with Ref2.0+? and what is the compatibility problem? with changing binary data?

Is it possible to create your own directories for units, abilities that are parsed for a regular editor when saving? And how often do errors occur at the current stage that crash the project?

It is very important to maintain the stability of the current project. What edits does HiveWE make to the map after which it can break?

Bogdan said that Reforged versions aren't officially supported with this tool. Nothing has been changed so far since the last update of this tool happened.

C++, it's on Github too as you could've seen from the description

The version on the main branch supports 2.0+. You can build it yourself if you'd like to play around. It's intended for more advanced users anyway so just compiling shouldn't be hard given the readme (unless you are trying to do it on linux or sth, although even there I didn't have much trouble)

The way "directories" are done in the regular editor provides no such capabilities. And no crashing errors really occur as far as I know.

Not sure what this question is meant to entail - a map saved with HiveWE is completely openable in the vanilla editor in the general case, and the only thing you ought to lose is custom pathing

Nice program.

Amazing tool for Terraining, the only world editor so far that doesn't cause my laptop to flare up. As a result, I have to spilt my triggers and terrain into separate programs.

For version 1.32+ you can try this build I made. It should be good for terraining, doodad placement and object editing. I need to fix the maps script generation for Jass but it works for Lua. So if your map is Jass you have to save it with the normal World Editor before playing it.

 

[Retera]

Do you have a build for Linux also?

I don't have one ready but theoretically it should compile fine on the most recent Clang or GCC. If it doesn't I would consider it a bug. If you try and run into any issues then do ping me as I'd be more than happy to try and resolve the issues together.

also for HD or is it only for SD?

Both SD and HD work. You can switch between them in the settings menu.

I have used it, and the feature for modifying paths is quite exhilarating. However, I've encountered a few issues:

1. When saving as an MPQ, the program momentarily freezes and then crashes without any prompts in the command line; saving as a folder works fine.
2. I tried packing the folder into a W3X using w3x2lni, and while the map can be played in version 1.31, I am unable to open the W3X with any map editor other than HiveWE.

Am I missing something?

 

[eejin]

1. I'll check this out and see if I can reproduce.
2. Maybe related to 1. Will see
