[General] Theres any way to make world editor faster?

[PrimoCurby]

i'm making a really huge map terrain,but it laggs too much wen i use "view entire map",and takes much time to save everytime

i have a Phenon x6 3.0,8 GB ram with a GTX570

i think is not my system problem

anyone know how to make it a little faster?

no matter how fast your computer is, if it has too many programs/games installed, it can take a lot of memory so eventually other programs like WC3 will lag, specially if your map has too much items (doodads, units, triggers etc...) and contains leaks...

Theres no doodads yet,just water and terrain =/

and no triggers,no custom models,nothing

Rather than using view entire map, do ctrl+shift and then use down arrow. This will expand clipping plane. Use up arrow to put back. Use mouse wheel to move in and out.

Viewing the entire map of a huge map would lag most machines =P.


For saving, there's no real way around this. If you have a lot of code and a very big map, it's going to save very slowly. My only suggestion is to build things in small tester maps and then port them over to the main map when you're done. That's what I do whenever I have to deal with large maps =).

the Ctrl+Shift+arrow helped me a lot

tnx man xD

You could also try overclocking your CPU. Remember that WC3 and its editor are mostly single threaded meaning little to no benifit is gained past using a dual core for it. Ofcourse this is a stupid idea, kind of...

The massive delay you get is due to the share scale of the map.
1. WC3 and WE are old (designed for DX8 and such technologies of the time) so are less efficent at rendering.
2. Not all objects data is loaded with the map thus when it first loads an area it is computationally intensive (so loading the whole map is extreemly demanding).
3. The actual graphics system used by WE and WC3 have certain limits (the classic being 500 tauren chieftains viewed at once causing the map to go garbage).

This is probably the reason they added a map size limit in the first place. If your computer can not handle it, imagine computers from 7 years ago.

Imagen that my computer has more than 10 years, soon it will have its 11 birthday

And still doing good on WE, despite that on RPG maps is goes 6-1 frames. Its still good number, because new projects (kinda TOKK) cut fps to 0.4.
Impossible is nothing, patience always win.
