"The Pathing Texture Pack"

[Veritas 117]

I'm actually surprised this hasn't been done before. I know these are easy to make with certain programs, but they are still extremely useful. Since you don't take requests I will resist asking for a 1x8 default and a 8x1 default...

Some in-game pics, please?

I did this. However only for my custom Model.

What is this?

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

Its the stuff that determines where units can walk while near buildings, doodads, or destructibles.

Oh, thanks

 

[Hermit]

I'm not sure if this constitutes a fun fact or a ridiculously useless piece of information: Some pathing maps are not used by any standard unit, destructible or doodad. Those pathing maps are not listed in the drop-down lists when the 'Pathing - Pathing Map' field is opened. However, they can still be used if you know their paths, just like hidden icons and models. Below is a complete list of hidden pathing maps in case anyone needs it.

This could prove quite useful.

 

[-Manuel-]

Really useful 5/5.
thanks .

 

[REN&YI]

i don't know how to use it.

 

[Ether]

i don't know how to use it.

I have a tutorial in the description.


P.s.
I'm searching for a nice in-game shot.

 

[EggPooPoo]

Hmm...what tutorial are you talking about? I don't see any!

I get that it's the distance I guess a unit can be from a certain object? What would you really do with that? If you wanted them to be closer to a branch or tree in a forest or something? more emersive gameplay?

 

[Ether]

@EggPooPoo

Hello, Mr. Egg, pathing texture does not apply in any units but only doodads and buildings.

Yes, the distance from building to building when placed matter and are determined by your custom pathing map. You can also determine it by pressing P inside the editor. Pink means unbuildable and walkable, while blue means walkable but unbuildable, and white is unflyable.

See the 'Pathing - Pathing Texture' line in object editor and you can change it according to your building/doodad needs.

please, tell me what's the way to create these kind of .tga archives. i've tried to create a custom path with photoshop and "blp lab" but i'm failing. mi paths are shown with white color while they have others.

 

[Masky]

Useful

Don't use blp lab, it sucks. Just use .tga format only for pathing textures.
It is possible why you are failing just because you might be using the wrong color codes and combinations as there are many variations of magenta and blue.

oh, thanks man. you were right.

 

[放假好(Good holiday)]

Hello there! This is a great job, thank you, but I have a problem, some models are not in the right direction, the path texture will become vertical, and the model is horizontal. So I asked you to post a method of how to make this kind of path texture. I can't display it after I use Photoshop. I don't know how to make it. I want 10x1, 9x1, 8x1...10x2, 9x2, 8x2...10x3, 9x3, 8x3... but I don't want to bother you, so can you teach me? Thank you

 

[antontama]

Thank you, i'm using one of your sprites in my map. Mention in credits. +rate +rep

Anyone experiencing issues with these on Reforged (latest patch)?

I made a bunch of pathing blockers using these and it was working fine last night, but today when I opened my map I got the error "Could not load file: war3mapImported\1x1, 1x2, 2x8, etc..." and the pathing is gone/they no longer work.

 

[antontama]

Seems working to me, no probs detected

It seems to be working now, although I was able to recreate the problem several more times. It seems to have to do with where I save my map, as it works when I save it to a specific Folder I made but breaks when I save the map to my desktop. Perhaps it has do with saving to a different drive.
