Quick Question about WEU (World Editor Unlimited)

[Mazurite]

Alright so, I am going to be making a map that will need a good variety of terrain. So i'm thinking WEU.. though i've never heard much good about it, i am wondering what people do think about it, and the differences, and if it is worth making my map with WEU, i've never used it, but i've heard the triggers are a pain in the ass.

• PitzerMike created that software: HE would know best. More information here!
  
  (IMO) most map editors are well served by using WEU Enhancer only, and leaving the advanced stuff to various JASS programs and scripts.

Thanks, do you think any problems would occur if i used WEU for extra tilesets, hidden units and stuff like that, and then just witched back to WE and saved it, then just doing the rest on WE?

I personally have never had a problem with WEU, but I haven't used it much, or really gotten far on any maps using it. I have heard it can corrupt your map (It's out dated I think).

First off the Trigger are outdated and leak, escapiley the advanced stuff.
Second, the WEU was made for 1.2 and not 1.21 so the editor itself is outdated, why? Because Pitzer Mike lost the sourcecode or something like that.
The only good feature is the max tile part which you can use without any problems.

To your questions, if you dont use any of the special things you need to "check" in the map creation (the right field). Then you dont need to worry, the hidden units can be used without any problems but you can also get the list of these models using the "SEARCH" button.

The only thing missing are the Jass guys who screams fuck gui its completly useless learn jass faggot.

Thanks Jirinal! I have been wanting to learn Jass but have not had the time to spend enough time on it. Hopefully i'll get into it soon.

omfg... WEU is such a pain, i can't seem to figure it out.. i go create map with the WE enhancer, i choose everything i want, and other enhanced lil' features.. i click create, it saves my map puts it in a folder and it's fricken protected!! everytime, i can't open it! and it's not set to protect anything!

 

[Ardnived]

i suggest reading a tutoriol they probably have one somewhere

 

[Mazurite]

Don't worry about it, i just figured it out. This program is so stupid, it saves you a protected version right away in the WE Unlimited folder even tho the map has nothing on it. And saves the unprotected version in the war3 folder.. damn it took a while to figure that out but it doesn't tell you that! haha but i'm happy with like 12 different tiles in my map =)

EDIT - Okay so in WEU Enhancer what the hell does all tiles buidable do, i'm guessing making it so that so you can build on any tile, but can't you just change that in the object editor on the buildings or am i just missing something here?

So it didn't tell you that, eh?
Anyway nowadays we've got the NewGen pack and that's all you really need.
No reason to use good old weu.

 

[Mazurite]

What is this NewGen pack you speak of? I'm curious.

Although the name suggests that it is only useful with jass, the truth is that it has many other great additions that make it a valuable tool for all of us.
