[General] How to connect tech levels with abilitys

[Peacegetter]

Entries missing in WorldEditor

So im working with the editor for a while now, still there is one thing i didn't get yet:

How do i create my own tech levels that work like flare for mortar teams. For example: you research a tech-type with the name multishot which than enables a ability for towers called multishot, which was not enabled before.

I created the ability, i created the tech-type. But how do i connect them now? Do i need triggers, cause it doesent work with custom abilities?

Thank you

in the ability at the buttom

Techtree - Requirements
Techtree - Requirement Level

Using this, your ability can't be used unless the player research the techtree that is need by this ability

in the object editor abilities don't have the Techtree line, just units have them or am i blind?

 

[neo_sluf]

abilities have them lol..


look below at the stats target allowed...

REMEMBER: Abilities for Units have only this one so maybe your watching hero abilities not unit abilites..

 

[Peacegetter]

uhm, i really don't have them, im using UMS WE and there is really nothing below targets allowed i can post a screenshot if you want

Well go..

Use Jass New Gen not UMSWE cause it has lots of bugs...

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Are you sure it is not there?

Screenshot

 

[Peacegetter]

well im using Jass New Gen but with umswe enabled, cause i get errors if i start it without it
werte=stats

maybe its cause im using the german editor, is there any place where i can download the english one?

 

[Binsu]

There is actually no difference with english and german and try to show the image with bigger size and readable texts and I'll try to have a check.

 

[Peacegetter]

i don't know why but imageshack wont let me upload it in better quality but i think its readable if you zoom a little.

 

[Peacegetter]

I tried it with a unmodified editor too, just from a copy of wc3 without any extra programms and still cant see any tech tree line.

 

[13oot-Me]

That screenshot doesnt help most of the people that might be able to help, but can't read german...

 

[Ceday]

Press control + f and search for "areq" and "arqa" without quotes from ability settings.

 

[Peacegetter]

well, i neither got areq or arqa and about the screenshot being in german: what basically matters is that the tech-tree adjustments which would be "Technologie-Baum - Vorraussetzungen" for example are just not there.

 

[BloodDrunk]

then you're screwed

 

[Peacegetter]

@above: I'd really like to have the like-post function now

Can someone send me a copy of the english editor.exe via pm? i litteraly have no idea what else could cause the problem since i reinstalled wc3 so the editor should be untouched, but it still doesent show up.

 

[Daffa]

Honestly, I think there's a data fail in your Warcraft. Never experience this to be honest.

Peacegetter, I think you can dl the English one from Blizzard, you have the CD Keys right?

 

[Peacegetter]

sure i do, but i cant find any download for the english one. I think i'll just reinstall the game in english again. But thats for tomorrow

 

[Peacegetter]

well again i reinstalled everything but the entries are still not there :/ could anyone send me his worldedit.exe or give me a link to a blizzard page where i can download the english exe?

 

[Vinz]

Pretty weird. Maybe your computer got a virus or what?

 

[Peacegetter]

so its not the worldedit.exe i tried it out with another one. what other data belogs to the editor? and i scanned my data with several programs, no virus detected

 

[Peacegetter]

Okay i redownloaded wc3 from the blizzard homepage now and still get the same problem. I think this is the only entry missing in the whole editor, but how can i be the only one who has this problem?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Did you check each field one by one?

 

[Peacegetter]

yeah, its not there

 

[Binsu]

Compared mine with your OE and yes, you are really missing the Techtree - Requirements. It might be your WE is not updated or is an old version. Its far too impossible for this to happen unless your WE is old or maybe also you've altered some things in your Warcraft and corrupted MPQ possibly.

Well, thats what i thought too. But i reinstalled the game from the blizzard homepage. So this is the most unmodiefied version of the game i could ever get.

 

[Daffa]

Update your patch, last resort.

 

[Binsu]

You should always download it through CD and must be original. Not saying that the Blizzard Homepage's is fake but always remember to Download from the CD that is original.

Original CD of Warcraft 3 provides you advantage and I am very sure it has no missing files or anything.

 

[Peacegetter]

well i had the same problem with the CD Version, thats why i got the one from blizzard. And it has the right patch, i mean if you sign into battle.net you get it automatically downloaded or?

 

[Daffa]

Hell_Master, Blizzard Homepage = Warcraft 3 CD.
I'm sure the main link at Blizz is not broken, or try remove Warcraft, remove registry for Warcraft and reinstall.

 

[Binsu]

Well, this is really a weird problem. Maybe its your computer having issues. What computer are you using Windows or Mac?

 

[Peacegetter]

vista, but everything is runned as admin so that shouldn't be it.
I did reinstall, how do i remove registry?

 

[Daffa]

Open Regedit and find Blizzard Entertainment in it.
Or far better : download a registry cleaner.

 

[Peacegetter]

I downloaded Wise registry cleaner and runned it, still no change.

 

[Peacegetter]

Okay problem solved. If anyone gets in trouble with the same stuff i did, here is the solution:

it's windows vista. You have to run cmd.exe as admin, than enter
net user Administrator /active:yes
than logout and login as admin again

i have litterally no idea how just this 3 techtree entries could be affected by it, but i don't even want to know anymore .

any mod, please mark this as [solved]

 

[Vinz]

Lol that was wierd.

 

[Map Designer]

Maybe it had something to do with View and checking techtree yes?
you can just press ctrl+0 when in world editor and it will work i think
tell us if this work please

 

[Daffa]

^This is solved already.
