Tile limit

[Revolve]

I am wondering if there is any way of changing the tile limit from 13 to unlimited (atleast many more spaces). This would be usefull for me, since i am creating a trailer for my project (signature) and for future maps. The Miscdata file may contain this, but i need help to change it, or if it is an other way.

You can open the map in WEU, add a ton of new tiles, and then just open it in the regular WE from then on. However, it still has a limit, it's just much higher. And cliffs don't work properly.

Ok i will try that out. Thx for tip/help!

Edit: Tryed it out... AND IT WAS PERFECT!!! Now i can use every number of tile i want and also additional features to WE through WEU!!

Don't. Do not use "WEU ADVANCED TRIGGER EDITOR". IT is dated, if you wan't these features, I suggest you to learn JASS.

Why is it so bad HappyT? I've used it in the last patch I think, although it was a while ago.

They are slow, add a lot of lag, and can cause your map to become unstable. Rather use jassnewgen pack.

WEU gets the tile limit removed, but can crash your Editor, making the map not save, and can sometimes crash your PC. It's happened to me a couple times and now I am the anti-WEU.
JASS is by far the best way to trigger because it's much easier to make leakless triggers, advanced triggers, and the game responds faster to JASS triggers than GUI triggers. Learning JASS might be tough at first, but it sure as hell is worth it if you commit yourself to learn it, which I recommend to all modders.

When i said new/different features i didn't mean strictly to triggers, not at all actually. I have no plans on learning jass since it would take minimum 10 years.

 

[Gilles]

10 years? I doubt it.

The max I'm aware of is 16 tiles per a map, that dosen't explain how I somehow have 17 in one of mine though.

 

[Revolve]

2 things:

1. I may try to learn jass, i know it wont take years to do that.
2. Yeah, it is weird that you can have more than 16 tiles in one map with WEU when the limit is 16.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You can also change tiles through triggers if it is really that needed to have even more than 16 tiles.

 

[Craka_J]

Yeah you can use triggers, but that'd take triple the time it would normally take than doing it in the World Editor with the simple terrain tools. It is an alternative, but I don't recommend it unless if you wish to spend lots of time working on your map and will have the patience to do it all. Terraining with the tools can be frustrating sometimes, I can't imagine how painful it'll be to trigger the terrain @_@

[Gilles]

How do you use Jass to have more than 16?

 

[Craka_J]

If I knew any JASS scripting, I'd tell you myself

 

[WerBackIII]

What is WEU, and can I add new cliffs

 

[Revolve]

Yupp. You can add many different cliffs (haven't really checked, but i think it is possible). The only mentionable thing is that you have to open the map with WEU patch (think it's automatic).

 

[HappyTauren]

I will make system that will allow you to use any cliff in any map. So, you place dummy unit ,and on location of it the specified tile generates, and on game init unit gets deleted. Craka, if you can terrain with dummy units, having image of terrain in your head, this is possible for sure. And would take same amount of time, yet you wouldn't be able to actually see how terrain looks ingame before testing it.

 

[Ivanneth]

For me, WEU doesn't work concerning the tiles. I hate it for that. I hate it. But I actually haven't properly tried it, just tried to add more things, but it didn't work. And why would you ever use the demonic blizzard cliffs? Raise / Lower is so much easier.

 

[Jaakko]

And cliffs don't work properly.

Actually they do with WEU game patch. WEU is world editor unlimited.
