Alright, another rather n00bish question...How do I make the terrain black, so nothing can go across? I seen some maps do this, so I know its possible. Also, I'm looking for people who could help me on a new open rpg, with a custom spell system... Any help would be appreciated!

black stuff:

goto the terrain palette, click 'boundary' under apply texture, start placing it, voila

Ooookay, another question...Can a ability's damage be changed through triggers? Im trying to change Chain Lightning's damage through a trigger.

Edit: So much questions...would Midi work as a song if I import it into a map with triggers setting it as music? Basically, would WC3 play Midi files.

one more questions(I'm loaded with questions aren't I?) Is there any way to make maps bigger than 256x256 without the unlimited patch(cuz I heard it aint workin right), and if the unlimited patch is the only answer, is there a ETA on when its gona be done(for 1.18), or if its going to be done at all? And Im still confused to if I can change a spells damage via triggers. Also, is it possible to change the size of the map after you created it, or is it like once you create the map, the size is permanent kinda thing.

Another question..Is it possible to play a different music for a different player? I want like one player to hear a battle music, while the other player to just hear a normal music. So far, I tried everything I can think of, but it all failed. Please help

Custom Script: if ( GetLocalPlayer() == -->PLAYER CONDITIONS GO HERE<-- ) then
Play music
Custom Script: endif

i believe

Alright, Ill give that a try, thanks, and now, another question :oops: is it possible to remove items from heroes? Like I want to get rid of the blademasters blade, so when he starts, he has nothing, but later on, he can get stuff.

Raptor, I got a problem...I don't know how to actually use custom scripts, and how do I know who is "local player"? I have WEU so it has something called Local Player, but I just don't know how to use it. Sorry :oops:

You need a skinner/modeler to help you out with that.

And I don't mean the user Modeler. :p

Also, I have a really bad size issue (Last time I checked, Size was 4 MB!!! :shock: ). I added a lot of modified models (no weapon models) and also added about 7 custom songs. Since WC3 doesn't officialy support MIDI, after the midi has become mp3, they grow from up to 100 to 600 kb :cry: . I know its possible to include midi in the game through WEU but others have to have a patch to use the midi, and I was aiming for general audience. Guys, any help toward the size is appreciated. Also, how much would vexorians *hope I spelled it right* tool tone down? *forgot name, something like heavy locker*, if I already used Wedgetzer was it? Because I also want a short load time. Im asking alot aren't I? And also, if you have time, please read the questions that were never answered. Thanks in advance! (1 I really need to know is how to exceed 256x256 map size without the old no limit patch) :lol:

Okay, but can Heavylocker, Vexorians, and Wedgetzer all be used together? If you can, will they do much (altogether)? Also, Im back to looking for a partner to help me do my open rpg. I need someone who is somewhat skilled in triggers (Someone who understand most of em) Someone who is free for about a hour or more a day, and someone who could edit/create custom units. Skill in modeling is also good. Right now, I need help in creating my custom music system (requires ALOT of copy/pasting then editing for 1 single player). The features of my map is one music per person (No more fighting over which music to play) custom spell system (your spell damage is based on mana, so spells won't get left behind later in game) and a entrance system (just a simple teleport system, allowing you to go into buildings) Edit: Also someone who is good at making spell effects, so far, the spells work, but the art for it is horrible :cry:

Hoookay, nobody wants to help me... Oh well, can someone at least tell me how to go beyond lv100 in constants? And also, my char seems to be stuck at level 10 even though the constants max is at 100.

Use the WEU Editor can be downloaded here under Tools, then you can set the LvL over 100.

For other Problem, is it only for creep unit or does the hero gain no exp at all?
But maybe you only increased the Unit MaxLvL not the Hero Maxlvl...

I dont know off the top of my head what a units max level is but you could go to Advanced->Game Constants and find out and change it...
