NEW Patch - World Editor Limitations?

[FML_sEksi]

Hello!

I am creating a 24 player map (woohoo!) but have ran into a limitation. Maximum number of neutral buildings (96). With 24 spawns, 24 natural gold mines, 8 merc camps, 8 shops, 8 labs, 4 markets, etc... I need a total of [102].

I did some research and in the past, it seems like people used third party World Editor programs to remove these maximum limits.

On the HIVE front page I see HIVE WE from last month. Should this be used (or something else) to circumvent this issue?

My concern is that if I use a third party world editor that A. ) it wouldn't be updated with the new patch (24 player capability, etc.) and B. ) it wouldn't be a melee map.

Any word?? Thanks much!

A. ) it wouldn't be updated with the new patch (24 player capability, etc.) and B. ) it wouldn't be a melee map.

A. It would since the developer is still active.
B. Melee map is a genre. Here, for your information.

Thank you for the responses.

With that being said, I can't figure out what to do with that bundle. Do I need to download/install other programs first?

If someone could be SO kind to please provide a step-by-step guide to a world editor noob. I currently have no third party programs what so ever. I would like to create a melee map without the limitations of neutral buildings etc. As I understand, I can use a third party WE (awesome), however, I don't know how to get started.

Any good Samaritan there to help a friend?

Thank you in advance!

Install these :

Download WEX and then extract the files outside the Warcraft 3 folder.
Make sure to run as admin on the world editor extended.exe when you have extracted the world editor files.

Daffa the Mage, thank you! This is the next issue I am running into:

-I installed the software from the links you provided. I extracted the WEX files outside of the Warcraft 3 Folder. I ran as admin on the world editor extended.exe and it gave me the following message:

"PathTooLongException". I think I have the incorrect Path? Do you know how I fix this is what I should put for the correct path?

Thanks again!

Simple, path is too long.
Change map name to something shorter.

Or change the name of the folder it is in to something shorter.

 

[FML_sEksi]

Chaosy, Thank you for your quick response!

I am unable to open the world editor at all. After I opened up it asked to path the world editor or something like that. It's not a matter of saving a map or naming a map name ^_^.

I re installed WC3 through a shorter process via a link... maybe the installation files for WE are not good and I should re install everything?

Again it's saying I have the incorrect path or I need to choose the path when running the WEX. Any advice?

This is what it gives me first when I try to run as admin:

Then when I go to configure profile, it pulls up a browse so I can fidn the corrected path. Do you know which path I should be looking for?

 

[Daffa]

edit the world editor exe file to meet thw requirement

Then when I go to configure profile, it pulls up a browse so I can fidn the corrected path. Do you know which path I should be looking for?

It just asks you for your wc3 game path.
When the browser opens, choose your Wc3 1.29 game folder (or if it wants an .exe your world editor in that folder).
After that it should work.

Ok I was able to get the Hive WE open and pull up a map.

From this point, I want to add 6 more neutral buildings but it looks like this specific program doesn't allow me to do that?

Or I am supposed to go into the regular world editor somehow after its modded?

Please forgive my ignorance. How can I open up my map I made in the traditional WE and edit or add to it?
