New Trees in World Editor

Tutorial by: Tails 96

This tutorial will teach you how to create trees using different textures.

Don't worry, this is a very easy tutorial. The only thing you need is the Wc3 World Editor.

Step One

After opening WE and starting a new map, go to the Object Editor.Then, click on the Destructibles.

Now, after opening the Trees/Destructibles folder on the Object Editor's left side, select a tree's name. For example, the Ashenvale Tree Wall. In the Art category search for the "Replaceable Texture File" field and double click on it.


Step Two

After doing all of those extremely hard things , choose for example the "Summer Tree Wall <Base>,......." option (for Ashenvale trees, the "Ashenvale Tree Wall <Base>....." is default, but we want to create something new). You've just changed the tree's texture.

Step Three

Now click OK, and place some Ashenvale Tree Wall doodads.

WOW! New trees!

Notes

• This way you can also apply imported textures.
• This isn't usable only for trees (also bridges, Cliff/Terrain doodads,...)
• For trees, use only tree textures. An example:
  
• Here is applied the Underground Tree Wall texture file. This thing is notable also for the other mushroom-tree textures and the cliff textures.
• This way you can replace also a Tree Bridge's texture file. Ex.:

It wasn't so hard, hm?

Thanks for reading. I hope it will be useful.

 

[trolman]

LoL i never knew that,+rep for you!

 

[Belgarath]

Should be more of a 'changing destructible/tree texture' thing

 

[takakenji]

very simple yet EXTREMELY useful.

 

[GoGoTauren]

amazing, just amazing.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

... am I the only one who already knew this?

Cool trick, but not this is not a tutorial.

 

[sPy]

Before starting the tutorial you might want to explain what will you do in this tutorial, I only understand what this tutorial does when I read it about 2 times or more.

 

[Tails96]

Sorry

Sorry, this is my first tutorial....

 

[LordDz]

Heh, didn't know that.

 

[PurgeandFire]

This tutorial is very short, but it is a great technique that I'm sure people would love. It is actually very useful to know that the destructables have a replaceable texture, it helps a ton for things like inventory systems.

I'll approve it. I've updated it and added two images to show the object editor stuff a bit better.

 

[Tails96]

Thank you very, very much, Purge. I had some screenshot problems in the object editor.

 

[kaizar]

That was a good thing of you to share this trick with us, Tails96.
I didn't know about it either and I'm sure it will help many people too.
+Rep.

 

[Mr.Pockets00000]

the problem with this is it does not explain how to change the model of the tree.

 

[Anthony Alexander]

Very nice. Simple and to the point.

... am I the only one who already knew this?

Cool trick, but not this is not a tutorial.

Oh yes, clearly Talis96 has made a huge mistake. Everyone knows that once WILL THE ALMIGHTY learns something, there is no point in teaching it to anyone else.

 

[Nichita_00]

I'm glad to have known this xP Also, next time when you make a tutorial tell me about it so I can post it and steal your rep.

 

[Tails96]

the problem with this is it does not explain how to change the model of the tree.

This tutorial is not about changing models. You only have to change the texture file.

 

[Skycraft]

Haha nice tutorial!
Now I can finally get more winter-type trees and trees for autumn

 

[Orcnet]

New Trees!

This is so new to me. thanks for the tutorial!

 

[dragonade311]

thanks! i never knew that!

 

[EliteSpectre32]

nice This will be very usefull

 

[sigmaceti]

and how to create new tree with custom model?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

The tutorial lacks a lot of components that are related to the idea of swapping textures.

In other words: this does not only apply to trees, but all destructables with a replacable texture ID.
It can be used to swap a texture of a destructable without having to import the same model twice.
It can even be used to swap the texture of a unit, using the warclub ability of the mountain giant.

All this combined would have made this a great tutorial. But this is only a nice-to-know feature that could have been explained in just 1 sentence: "You can change the texture of a tree to any texture you like in the object editor field 'Replacable texture'." See? One sentence. This hardly qualifies as a tutorial.

 

[LordDz]

Thanks man, that teached me how to easily import several textures for a villager.

 

[jonbon29]

That's a very good info.maybe that's why its called replaceable texture, so you can replace it with other tree texture duh.
