[StoPCampinGn00b]

We are very happy to announce that tool moderator, WEX developer, and long time member, @MindWorX, now works for Blizzard! He is officially a Software Engineer for the classic team and he will specialize in working on the World Editor. Congrats! Another one in, another one to go?

 

[eejin]

Congratulations Willy. Now you can give us insider info!

 

[Abovegame]

Let's go Willy !

 

[ScrewTheTrees]

Gimme all your secrets sweeting!

 

[Sverkerman]

This is awesome! Looking forward towards the WE updates!

 

[Rufus]

Congratulations! Really nice.
What's gonna be the priorities in terms of world editor development?

 

[PrinceYaser]

Willy Willy Wise Wise!
Congratz!

 

[Kazeon]

LOL! Amongst all of great coders around here and they select him? the developer of WEX himself?! What a perfect choice!


Well for me I have to get through much longer path to get to where you are now. Anyway, congrats, @MindWorX, and be proud!

 

[Chaosy]

Does this mean blizzard officially supports a non-standard editor?

 

[bhusta]

Wow congratulations!

 

[deepstrasz]

Does this mean blizzard officially supports a non-standard editor?

Why? Advancing the original.

 

[Chaosy]

Because he develops WEX?.. and works for blizzard now?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Does this mean blizzard officially supports a non-standard editor?

No, it means that custom content will become Blizzard content and therefore added to the original editor.

 

[FlameofChange]

WOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH

I'M GETTING FIRED UP !!!
LIKE THE BROTHER OF FIRE !!!

*cough* let's cool down, it'll just put the WEX features to the official one. But i see we got hope of new features for it, expanding a lot the abilities of the editor /o/

 

[Chaosy]

No, it means that custom content will become Blizzard content and therefore added to the original editor.

Booooring.

But convenient

 

[Somebassoon]

Cool. Hope that means we can see a smoother, better running editor soon! Massive maps like LTA, LTF have been slowed down to a crawl due to engine limtations.

 

[SpasMaster]

Congratulations!
As "one of us", I hope you will help bring into the Editor what WarCraft modders and fans have only dreamed of few years back.

Best of luck with this exciting position!

 

[Moy]

Blizzard will soon become Hive-infested. Congratulations tho!

 

[Selaya]

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is great news! And, with any luck, very very exciting news for the future of the WE.

Say 'hi' to Kam for us!

 

[A]mun]

Happy times for Wc3, pretty surprising too!
Not long ago many players expected the game to die out in some years. Far from it, as proven by recent events.

 

[pyf]

Congratulations.



@Kam: now, which one of you two is Pallando?

Blue Wizards - Wikipedia

 

[_lycan]

NICE! grats!, one question tho, can you maybe implement UMSWE into the world editor if you have time? I knew wex didn't have UMSWE features but maybe we can get them in WE now that you have direct access to the code?

 

[The Leader]

Congratulations! It's really amazing that another member is working for Blizz.

Wish you good luck and have fun working on War3.

 

[Avahor]

My very very very very true reaction all this time

congratz mindworx!!!

 

[Khazmo]

Congratulations!

Now... about those videos in Wc3 that won't play...

 

[Rufus]

My very very very very true reaction all this time

congratz mindworx!!!

Haha, give that man a cookie

 

[Eat_Bacon_Daily]

Woah good work man. Hope to see your great work in upcoming patches

 

[MasterBlaster]

Massive congratulations to @MindWorX

 

[Misha]

yep, massive congratulations

 

[MyPad]

Congratulations!

Now, the possibility of the code compiling in vanilla is certainly increased:

// Ignore recursion...
function foo takes nothing returns nothing
    call bar()
endfunction

function bar takes nothing returns nothing
    call foo()
endfunction

 

[Dr Super Good]

Hopefully future patches can do away with the need for third party editor modifications completely. Would certainly make modding easier!

 

[Daffa]

Incoming JNGP in normal WE

 

[moyackx]

Incoming JNGP in normal WE

Saying in a better way: Hoping NO MORE addons for WE, Just a good WE.

 

[Daffa]

Let's see...

vJass support
Wurst support
cJass support (?)
Further limit breaks
Mass OE copy paste [for making new races]

hmm...

Congratulations MindWorX! It is nice to see when our hobby and passion to the game allows few of us earn money
Original WE with JNGP and WEX' addons will be great.
