HiveWE - World Editor 0.6

[Amigoltu]

You are incredibly wrong

That's your opinion, fair enough. I stand by everything I said, however.

 

[Abovegame]

@The Panda We could do that but i think the time is not right now. Perhaps when 0.1 comes out or maybe 0.7 ? We could also ping @Retera to do a showcase of it, but we'll see.

@eejin what will you do when Reforged gets released?

 

[sentrywiz]

Must give this one a try!

 

[MiniMage]

Is there a jass compiler in this version? Because that would be neat. I've been trying to get old code working with my map.

 

[eejin]

Ok, I tried to open the HiveWe but it didn't work. Can you explain to me what is OpenGL and what does used for? Do I really need that?

OpenGL is an API (software) that makes rendering 3D things possible. HiveWE needs a fairly new version of OpenGL for it to work. What CPU and GPU do you have?

is there gone be 32bit version?

Unfortunately not. Most hardware should support 64 bit though so you could try updating your Windows.

@eejin what will you do when Reforged gets released?

Reforged seems to be purely graphical and thus I will only need to rewrite some of the rendering code. The rest should still work.

Is there a jass compiler in this version? Because that would be neat. I've been trying to get old code working with my map.

Not in this version, but I am aiming to include one in the next version.

 

[stan0033]

@eejin can you add some measuring tools in the editor like a ruler and protractor and some dummy scaleable 2D shapes? idk if it's possible, you say.

 

[karaulov]

1. Need buy GPU 2015+ year for play HiveWE?


2. Why HiveWE not support old Warcraft versions?

 

[The10th-X]

Hooo, nice work so far guys it's looking good

Maybe i'll actually get around to learning JASS because this looks nice and sleek so far, keep up the good work

 

[Wasabee]

Awesome I'll watch this develop further
I love the pathing tool haha

When I changed the theme to Dark. It did not change on the initial screen, but when I open new windows, this windows works correctly. And when I closed the program and reopened it, it is now working correctly. Reporting the error if someone did not.

Do you already have plans for the program's icon?
Is there somewhere to tell the script you are going to do while developing the program?
Will the program support addons?
Will it be program-only for user programmer, or will it have space for GUI users?

Thanks, the theme problem is known and has been fixed for future versions.

What do you mean with "tell the script you are going to do while developing the program"?
There will probably be some addon system in the future, but not anytime soon.
Gui support is also planned.

[sonphamthe11H]

You should check your opengl version too
Mine is 2.0,cant use

@eejin
What will be the path (steps) that the project will do? What next version will implement, etc?

GUI could be more powerful, since people could do full conversion from Jass to GUI, and the opposite.

 

[stan0033]

@eejin it would be amazing if you can make the combination [ctrl+right click] to allow you to multi-select many units manually like you can select parts of text in the text editors and the folders and files in Windows.

 

[Trakya]

This doesn't work on Windows 7. Works fine on windows 10

 

[eejin]

Make sure your drivers are fully updated. Are you on Warcraft 1.30? What is the output of the console window (the black window with text)? Refer to this document.

Loads of things, but first being able to make maps fully in HiveWE. So things like an object editor, better doodad palette, unit palette, region palette. You name them.

Improved selections is coming at some point. Maybe not per se in 0.6.

I haven't tested on Windows 7, but it should work. Check that your computer supports OpenGL 4.5, that you are running Warcraft 1.30 and what does the console window say? Refer to this document.

Make sure your drivers are fully updated. Are you on Warcraft 1.31? What is the output of the console window (the black window with text)? Refer to this document.

1.30.4

@eejin whenever you put an object editor there keep in mind that it will be very neat if you can put the different fields in categories like they do in visual studio's object properties.
The 3 main categories for units:
Unit, building, hero
And then they have the subcategories which have the fields.

I'm not a very smart person, where is the casc files? The Warcraft 3 folder?

 

[Vukmir]

Whenever i start the hive world editor it crashes, i have tried different compatibility options and starting as an admin. This is how it looks in cmd when it fails to start Screenshot - ca6547fcec8853b4704192f42974c0bd - Gyazo

 

[FlameStarter1-0]

Try Windows it may be in there

 

[eejin]

"C:/Program Files(x86)/Warcraft III"

 

[SnekMuffin]

Hey. Can't get the thing to work. It just displays a console window for a second with no text on it and closes. Running Win10 x64, double checked my OpenGL and C++ redists, and everything is up to date.

 

[Retera]

This is a state of the art open source World Editor that draws on all of the community's knowledge of how to make Warcraft III maps.

This current build is great for drawing terrain and doodads -- and new features are clearly under active development. The current userbase will likely consist of those who wish to draw directly to their pathing map or customize their terrain outside the standard limits of the editor.

However, I foresee that the open source nature of this tool leaves it open to continue becoming an even more powerful tool as time goes on. I was able to download a copy of the code and upgrade it so that units and items were animated in my local build, by simply adding in a bunch of animation code that I put together by reading other sources. Open source is the way of the future!

Approved!

Hey that's a great addition to the editor, animated units.

@eejin you should add an option to turn on/off animated units/doodads in the editor. Simple tick will do.

@eejin consider endless terrain height increase/decrease and
Coroled text generator and
Attack damage calculator and armor calculator.

Hell, It's about time

 

[Dr. Boom]

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but for the trigger editor it would be also cool, if functions from the "map-header custom script code" would be displayed. (At least I didn't find an option for that). Else cool project, keep it going!

 

[Edy]

Does the pathing editor support 1x1 tga (the smallest grid), if so bye-bye old WE

 

[eejin]

Yes it does

 

[Edy]

Yes it does

Aww yeahhh

 

[Tridinar]

Doesn't work with WINE on Mac. Not switching to Windows, any other suggestions? Parallels, maybe?

 

[Arnie Samir]

How do I install it? I want to use it but I do not know how to install it

 

[Arnie Samir]

I get a dark picture

 

[eejin]

Mac doesn't support OpenGL versions higher than 4.2 and will soon drop support for OpenGL as a whole thus HiveWE doesn't support MacOS.

How do I install it? I want to use it but I do not know how to install it

There is no installation. You just download the zip, unzip it and then run HiveWE.exe. What does the console window(the black window with text) output? Check this page

 

[zackro123]

no 32-bit :c

 

[Zordrak]

Is there a maximum doodad number in this editor?

 

[eejin]

Is there a maximum doodad number in this editor?

I haven't set any limit so the only limit is the performance of your pc. I've opened maps with 30.000-50.000 doodads and it was fine.

Great! What i would also like to know: How does this editor react to maps with older imported datas (like mdx or blp datas), for example ripped WoW models?

I just moved this post here from Staff Contact. It was instantly buried so I am quoting it here .

Thanks for the info.

Please read the main post first because it clearly states what you need:

Required for running HiveWE:

• 64 bit Windows
• OpenGL 4.5 support
• Visual C++ 2017 redistributables
• Warcraft 1.30 or later

It's really good, but I am confused with the Map Designer.

It is simpplified/cleaned

It is simpplified/cleaned

I mean I am confused on how to move the camera on the Map Designer.

 

[Edy]

Any clue..
