how to use diferent terrain tipes in one map

[sublime]

first hello, this is my first time in this forum, and i started mapping these days...im making a map similar to Azeroth Wars and Dark Ages of Warcraft, and i have a doubt that i think u could help me with...

I needed to use diferent kinds of terrain (like Ashenvale or Draenor floor and trees)
can someone teach me how to do it? if u help ill give u credits in my map when its ready, if one day i have enough xperience to do it...

greetings from brazil...

For "floor" which is actually called tile, is under "Advanced - Modify Tileset". Click the box that says "Use custom tileset". Now add what you want. You can only have up to 13 "points" and can't edit the cliff tiles.

For trees, just change your doodad palette to ashenvale or whatever you want.

There is no Draenor.

Can't really. I haven't used World Editor Unlimited lately, but it used to edit all tiles. If you want you can download it here.

If you do use it, I would back up your map. It has been known to corrupt maps.

Gilles, I've been using WEU for a long time, and none of my maps has been 'corrupted'. I don't believe it's true.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

They can become corrupted but it doesn't happen as often as Gilles is implying it does.

 

[Gilles]

I never implied that it did a lot. I just stated

It has been known to corrupt maps.

I also said he should back it up. Which actually should be done regardless.

I have always been behind WEU because I have never had it corrupt any of my maps either, but I hardly use it.

 

[Belgarath]

I use it so I don't have to change the miscdata.txt thing.

 

[Gilles]

Does WEU have everything that miscdata has?

 

[Belgarath]

Just about, I think, and more.

Just about, I think, and more.

what is that more then? Miscdata is FAR easier to use than a custom engine that can corrupt your map sometimes and can also crash for no reason. Also, it is best to use newgen anyway.

 

[Gilles]

Can newgen add tiles?

 

[HappyTauren]

yes, but only if you know how, you have to know rawcode of tile, and know where you call it (go for Extenstions > Edit tileset), and then exit map and load it again. You can also modify the tiles easily. You got "AdrtAdrdAgrsArckAgrdAvinAdrgAlvd" you can edit it to "AdrtAdrdAgrsArckAgrdAvinAdrgNice" where "Nice" is northrend ice. After that map saves automatically and you close it and then load again.

 

[Gilles]

I'll stick to WEU.
That made no sense to me.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Haha I am with Gilles here. Newgen is too much trouble.

 

[Gilles]

I still have trouble using NewGen, I mean I can't figure out how to use it to it's full potential. To the tutorials (I hope there is one).

And I have no idea what JASS NewGen does.

cuz you people are oldschool and not nearly as awesome as I am.

Download newgen, and use GRIM pack thingie. If you know rawcodes of tiles this way it is waaaaaay easier as you can simply replace tiles with no trouble. And newgen is not trouble, it is waaay safer than weu and we combined.

 

[Gilles]

I still stand by WEU. Some of it is useless as you can simply get MiscData, but it's still got functions that are useful.
