The confusing Water (ORCX01)

[T3rm1n4tor]

I've opened the Map ORCX01 (Rexxar first campaign) and i wondered about the rivers: 'How did they "ramp" them so perfectly?!' Then I decreased the Height Level on the Land and there was Water. And now I'm wondering, Did they made the map with water and nothing else, and increased the Height level at every place, where "the Barrens" are...?

Do someone know how to do that?

Probably dunno ask Blizzard

Make a plain river by shallow/deep water, then uncheck Advanced > Enforce Water Height Limits.
then, raise your river again by raise 1/raise 2 cliff so its back to flat land
finally, use lower tool (not cliff) and lower the land
You got smooth "ramp" river!

for more clear, you can see tutorial about river at tutorial section

and i'm asking now: How you get Rexxar campaign? i need it!

Firstly, thank you for your Help !
It's easy I made a thread about it, too. You have to get a MPQ Extractor.
- http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/rmpqextractor-1-0-a-98299/
- Now extract the War3Local.mpq or War3xLocal.mpq (Expansion with Rexxar). [Extract it to another folder except your Warcraft folder]
- Now go to the folder "Maps" - "Campaigns" - ORCX01 (There are 5 Maps with Rexxar)
- Open with World Editor unlimited !!!
You're done.

When you create a map, create it entirely made out of Deep Water, and raise all the terrain up from the water.

It makes a smooth water edge for the entire map that way.

Yes I thought about it, but it's really boring when you make a 256x256 Map ...

Perhaps, but then you could just raise one patch out of the water, then use the Plateau tool with a huge brush size.
