The Ultimate Terraining Map 3.0

[mikkel29]

what can we take as the default program

 

[millzy]

this seems to crash some times when i add a dodad???

I have some questions about this

1) The first screen says its under 4 MB but mine game syas its over 9 MB, Why?

2) Whenever I use this for one of my campaign maps, and try to open it through "Custom Campaign" a screen pops up in WCIII (not on desktop and closes the game) that the map is either corrupted or does not exist, Why?

2) maybe wrong path or errors in the script...

it would be really nice (and epic amount of work -.-) if you would optimize all the models. there are tools for it. but for one model you need to do 2 click + opening model + export&import = a lot of work. it could significally reduce the total filesize. (pm me if you are interested and wantmore info or something). if you dont have the time yourself, then request the labour from someone else.

if anyone is going to make a playable map, then they might find this attached zip interesting, maybe you could include it in the next version, no credits necessary.
since w3 has a minimal size of 2x2 pathing textures, you cant make very hd pathings. what i did was every possible combination of unbuildable* and unpathable in a 2x2 block. if you are going to include these, base them off the normal pathing blocker, its basically the same thing (extended functionality).
each of these pathings takes up 1kb and theres 14 of them. so quite useful imo.
*there isnt a real difference if i make it unbuildable or buildable, since no building is able to utilize that space. the only difference might appear, if someone is going to use a custom summon or build spell, which has a condition of that point being buildable. with regular build skill and regular building there is none.

oh and you could add this to the map section . i always forget that it is here...

EDIT: /facepalm
forgot to add the zip xD

Awsume ^^

You should make a newer version, with alot of modern imports, and stuff like that that would be great.
Besides this is awesome.

 

[warman45]

you should reset all the maximum and minimum scales so that i dont have too =) (that way i could make them scale 20 or scale 2000)

arent you just lazy...

 

[siegaeditor]

How about adding these models to the next versions(this link is not from me)http://xgm.ru/project.php?id=100&pageid=3237

 

[66Dragon6]

Adding a vote in for a new version

If I could be of any assistance in anyway don't hesitate to ask.

 

[The WoW Masta]

:O !!! ZOMG!!! BEST COLLECTION EVER!!! '<3' to all who contributed!!! !!!!!! So Awesome!! it's like every thing I've ever needed in ONE place!!!!

 

[Saintbob]

Ok so i've downloaded this map, and its amazing. Job well done guys!
Only problem i seem to have is... Everytime i test the map, some of the models seem to loose their models, as in before i test the map they are all their as i go down the list of doodads, but after ive tested it, some that were their prior, arnt there now, and only show up as the boxes.

Any idea why?

Thanks

 

[Gilles]

They do that. Not sure why though. The should still work in-game.

 

[N00B5600]

Hooray! Terraining made easier!!!!!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

You should make a newer version, with Modern Model files in it too, like cars/tanks/lampposts/barbed wire, etc. this might be useful for people who want to make modern type terrains.

The UTM itself though is awesome ^^

 

[light bolt30]

Good job on this!

 

[Narrat0r]

It's like Garry's Mod for WC3 ;-)

 

[Palooo3]

Cool, cool, cool, .... one year later... cool, cool

 

[ChoovakPetri83]

Why not make it playable map? It's a quite a bit of a work to export-and-import all the models from one map to another. I would rather build a map with this as a base and delete all the models I don't need after beta testing.

 

[phoenixfire]

It is playable...

 

[Oziris]

Dreacon, where did you get the idea that it isn't playable?

 

[Dreacon]

Dreacon, where did you get the idea that it isn't playable?

Sorry, for not explaining myself enough. This is where I got the idea:

[...] The UTM is for making terrain, not playable maps.

Although, I do not yet understand if there is anything else besides the size of the map (in MBs) that could become an obstacle (while basing one's campaign map on it)?

 

[Adiktuz]

well, if you don't want to have the default file size of the UTM, you can just export the objects that you need then import them into your own map...

 

[phoenixfire]

Use the 4MB one, it still has good mods.

 

[Dreacon]

Is there some efficient way to import ALL the models into pre-existing map? For example, if I already have a map in development and I am to lazy to export-and-then-import all the models from UTM to my map but I still want to play around with them in my map to see what fits well and what does not (which is annoyingly difficult to do when importing models one-by-one because you never know whether you end up using it or not).

One more thing.. are path blocking and other elements required for building playable maps working in this UTM? Obviously, I want the bridges to be crossable, while rocks and trees should have path blocking effect.

@First - there is no easier way than export-import

@second - pathing blockers are the best to use...

You could always import everything from a certain folder. That's certainly quicker.
Right Click, Import All.

 

[light bolt30]

Is there more models in UTM v3 than v4x? Or just the filesize?

 

[Celaquil]

There are more, the v4x is a prior edition to the v3, which is strange in itself. This basically means the v3 one is the latest one, honestly I think M0rbid should remove the v4x or something to avoid confusion towards people downloading this.

 

[aider]

This is awesome! But just one question; Wouldn't this make every map based on this atleast 4 MB huge? When I optimize it, it only reduce the size to 3.7 MB. I have to delete all the imported files that I dont use?
Thanks

 

[phoenixfire]

Its mainly for terraining purposes, not playable ones. So yes, you have to delete the files.

 

[TitanDeath]

For some reason I can't get this file to work. When I try to import it to another map, the roof in the UT stops working. I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

 

[Adiktuz]

are you sure you have imported the textures too? it works fine for me...

 

[TitanDeath]

Yes it worked. I had to find where the original file was located to figure out which textures they were. Didn't know it had any. Well thxs .

 

[IllidanStormrange]

what the f.....

 

[xorkatoss]

this is very useful!!

TIP:
if you want to know which textures each model uses open it with magos model editor and go to Windows->Texture Manager

EDIT:
why i can't export any of the models!!?

 

[Adiktuz]

Huh? you can export them using the import manager...

 

[xorkatoss]

Huh? you can export them using the import manager...

im not an idiot, i know how to export them lol
but most of the models have 0kb and when i right-click->extract it doesn't work...
but it works if i try it with other maps...
so im wondering...what is going on here?

 

[Adiktuz]

You can try exporting all (via the export all option), then just pick the model from the folder were you extracted them...

 

[xorkatoss]

well if that's the only way...but still why are all the files 0kb? it doesn't make sense...

 

[Adiktuz]

you mean all of them has 0kb file size? maybe its corrupted...

I browsed my exported UTM models and the least I got is 1kb, no 0kb...

@xorkatoss: That's a bug from WE, not from the map itself. Try reopening the WE or downloading the map again.

you were right, i was messing around wc3 files and i changed the option that adds "wc3imported/" to any file you import so it will be empty and i noticed that most of the maps that i opened had all the custom imports at 0kb...

 

[Lembidi]

Awasome job's!!
Thank's, this helpfulness.

Can someone tell me who made plant6.mdx ?

I'm guessing Nasrudin but theres no way to really tell. (from trigger list he had most tree packs).

 

[Mr.Foxy]

Hey, how to open it?
When i open it, that wasn't opened!
They say:
- Level info data missing or invalid.

 

[jovan104]

it wont open it sayd missing or invalid

 

[fladdermasken]

Repair, reinstall and repeat.
