[General] How to access original campaign map AI?

[FreeReign121]

I opened up one of the Reign of Chaos maps " Orc 03: Cry of The Warsong" in world editor. I would like to study and potentially tweak the AI in this map. But I don't know how to access the AI script listed in the trigger editor using the AI editor.

You'll need to export it first before you can access it. Those AI can be found in a sub-folder called "Scripts" within the MPQ folder. Use an MPQ Editor to locate that file and extract it.

In 1.30+ you need CASC editor to gain access to these materials.

Okay, so I was able to extract the AI using CASC. But I can't seem to open the files in World editor. Is there something extra I have to do to the files to open them in the ai editor in world editor?

You need tools like JassCraft to read the .ai files.

You can open them in Notepad. They are plain text files...
