HiveWE - World Editor 0.6

[Regno]

Object Editor implemented in the future?

 

[Abovegame]

It may come out with the next version, but not promising anything yet. : )

 

[Regno]

Nice!

 

[_lycan]

very good editor, has a very promising future.

 

[apsyll]

Can't wait to see where this one will turn into.
It has already a lot of promissing potential features.

 

[Somebassoon]

Is older OpenGL enabled?

 

[-Manuel-]

Unfortunately does not work for me, I click on the HiveWe, and the command prompt opens up, but then it closes, and nothing happens after that.

same as he.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Can a make created with this be opened/edited later in the standard World Editor?

Also, what's this I hear about an updated/improved Import Editor?

 

[Abovegame]

Well for now it is compatible with Vanilla and WEX ! But as eejin stated in one of the threads he may sacrifice compability when HiveWE becomes better than the current editors feature-wise.

Nevertheless why don't you download it and check it out ? : )

 

[Kyrbi0]

Hm.

I downloaded it to my flash drive, unpacked it, and clicked the .exe; didn't work (command prompt opened, beeped a while, then a "this isn't working" error message. Readme indicated there would be a point at which it asked me to point to the MPQs but nothing like that happened.

Tried again after copy/pasting the MPQs into the folder with the .exe, still doesn't work.

Windows 7: 64bit.

Does the console (black window) output anything? What CPU/GPU do you have? Does your computer support OpenGL 4.5?

1) No(t that I noticed)
2) Not sure:

3) No clue, how do I find out?

 

[Abovegame]

I think you need to go to the start menu , run , and type in dxdiag ?

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

1) Completely Empty

2) CPU is

GPU is Intel(R) HD Graphics

3) Any way to find out? dixdiag doesn't provide the info, I believe.

My GPU don't support OpenGL 4.5. (Only 4.4), any chance to get this to run with earlier versions of OpenGL?

Unfortunately your GPU doesn't support OpenGL 4.5 which HiveWE requires.

There is an older OpenGL 3.3 branch which was created by Karaulov. He stopped developing at a certain point because how I implemented terrain rendering meant it was not possible to backport easily. I have since changed the terrain rendering so with some work one could get HiveWE to run for OpenGL 3.3 again, but I don't intend to spent much time on this. If you would like to do an OpenGL 3.3 then I suggest starting from the newest main branch instead of continuing the old 3.3 branch. Hit me up on discord if you need some guidance in the conversion.

 

[sordurar]

my gpu supports opengl 4.5 yet when i try to start it up it shows an empty console and just crashes saying it stopped working
any ideas ?

Please update your graphics drivers, and then install and run OpenGL Extensions Viewer.

Can Hive WE open my JNGP map?

 

[eejin]

Can Hive WE open my JNGP map?

Try using this tool.

 

[yram44]

Try using this tool.

Nope I'm not using World Editor Unlimited. JNGP 2.0.10 that the WE that I use.

 

[Daffa]

As long as you don't mess with UMSWE functions, shpuld be safe.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I think you need to go to the start menu , run , and type in dxdiag ?

OK, I've done that... And I'm pretty sure I've never seen this before. Next?

Use this software recommended by pyf to check your OpenGL version.

Out of curiosity, how would terrain made with this work if I opened the map in the standard world editor?

EDIT:
I had time to try it out. It appears opening a map edited with this tool doesn't save the pathing, but DOES allow you to bypass the tile limits in the standard editor.

Yes, World Editor automatically rewrites pathing data when saving your map, thus it's better to edit pathing with Hive World Editor after you've finished editing or working on it via normal editor. eejin mentioned that he'll eventually port all functionalities of normal editor to HiveWE.

 

[gorillabull]

the terrain is still super low rez lol buy good gpus and move onto unreal

 

[TTT]

lack of msvcp140.dll,how to deal with this problem?

 

[MyScorpion42]

EDIT: @eejin does use (modified) versions of these icons, disregard.
Regardless, this looks great! I'm looking forward to the editor not freezing with every edit to a player or unit's data

The unused World Editor icons from war3.mpq\ReplaceableTextures\WorldEditUI for the lazily inclined:

 

[JuIiuS]

For some reason when I try to open my map, the editor crashes. But when I try to open a new map, freshly created it works perfectly fine, any ideas why is that?

 

[Wark]

@Julius Are you using this third-party editor for all your stuff? Did you swap editors? I'd be careful if the prior and make a back-up file, since this editor is not fully functional yet.

Nope on the contrary I rarely use something else than the vanilla editor, maybe another colorizing and line synching program but that's all. I just wanted to add extra tiles, but no need anymore, just upgraded to patch 1.30 which adds an option to add up to 16 tiles. And yes always save a back-up file, thanks for replying

 

[SABREWULF]

well on patch 1.30 he dont see any map when i showing him my folder where warcraft 3 is installed

 

[NielNel]

H<>M Ok :/

 

[NelsonLaJe]

works on 1.30? abaut illimitations on tillesiting and object editor like on ''jass new gen 5vd''?

[Sieben]

Well done! Thanks for your work

 

[Remixer]

Damn... looks promising.

 

[Cryze666]

is it worth to update wc3 to 1.3x and use this editor or should i stick to my 1.29 version with the older working editors? are there some main features missing that would still require me to use the older ones?

Right now HiveWE is a more specialized world editor that has some features that the normal WE doesn't, but it is also missing features that the WE does have. Unless you have a specific need that fits in the existing features I would recommend to keep using the normal WE. At some point HiveWE will be a complete replacement though.

+1 keep working hard though eejin, your editor will definitely be the new jass new gen pack once it's finished.

Is your warcraft 1.30?

Unfortunate side effect of Casclib at the moment is that you have to close the World Editor and Warcraft if you want to use HiveWE. I will update the main post with some more info.

I didn't open the world editor and Warcraft.

 

[yxq1122]

It is a revolution of world editor. Great work!

Suggestion:
1. a meaningful feature for HiveWE could be the support to custom plugins.
2. ability to custom the GUIs of the trigger editor.
3. quick editing of map data like GMSI.
4. quick terrain generation like terrain tool.

Possibly a false positive? Either that or your computer is infected and so malware infected the download the instant downloading completed.
