Tiles Don't Work In Editor, Only In-Game

[Craka_J]

Yes, even Terrain Moderators can use some helpful assistance. I am trying to prepare my map - Stormwind for Wc3:WoW - to take screenshots of it, but there's only one problem, the damn custom tiles won't show in the editor; only shows in-game. Instead of showing my custom tiles, it shows the regular WC3 tiles which I am replacing. A couple custom tiles work, but not all of them. Tiles I am trying to replace are:

• Lordaeron Grass tile
• Dalaran Brick tile
• Lordaeron Rock tile

Any possible solutions?

Have you tried to import them on other things? My ideas are that... I have no idea.

Unfortunately, this is something I cannot do since all tilesets are to be replaced completely, eventually. I must choose the tiles wisely.

[EDIT]:
Ah ha! I've found the solution! When I first start up the World Editor, a map is instantly created. A blank one of course. This loads in the Lordaeron Summer tiles and since the tiles that were not appearing were replacements for the Lordaeron Summer tiles after I load the Wc3:WoW campaign, I had to go to "File"->"Close Map", then go into "Preferences" and check-box out the "Create a new map on start-up". After this, I exited the World Editor and reopened it and then loaded the Wc3:WoW campaign. The textures which were not showing now show again in the editor! W00T! I just noticed how poor the new tileset for Stormwind city is... going to replace it with the old brick tile in Dalaran for now until I get a texture artist who can redo it the way I want/need.

Taking screenshots now... prepare yourselves!

Stormwind WIP Screenshots

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Work-In-Progress screenshots of Stormwind. I've done all this in a day. Imagine what I can accomplish in a week if I manage to avoid being interrupted by the annoyances of my personal life.

I know they're not great - especially the outdoor one by the entrance - but like I said, these are all Works-In-Progress. I am still looking for models and textures that I can use to help myself create Stormwind.

Pretty cool though it'll be a pain in the ass to redesign it entirely when WarSoc gets released. Keep it comming!

I love it but I think than will be better custom tiles than ughly brizzard ones.

 

[lord_Turin]

should look good for a Bnet game.

Like tag in Stormwind?

I'll eventually have the Stormwind city tiles replaced with custom ones, don't worry. Not sure when though.

The custom doodaded gate for the Stormwind entrance I made was better.

The models sure make it easier. The inside is awesome, although I would make the city tighter for a more packed feeling. Unless you're going to fill it with people.

Well remember, its a playable map with a chase camera. I don't want the camera to go through objects. However, I will most likely begin assigning the triggerer Saitek009 to make objects become transparent when the camera comes in the way of objects. Will be difficult, but we must do it.

Uhm... are you using newgen or regular WE? If you are using newgen, try opening it in regular WE and if you are using regular WE... well I don't know... try newgen? =\

Go to the World Editor help section and ask that question.

Possibly a bit too much work. As well I'd rather see that come in later.

It would be nice though. Although I would never use it. I like the camera to be at an angle and out a ways. Not birds eye, not 3rd person.

Well my problem has been solved and I now know what to do in the future. The purpose of this thread has been fulfilled thus resulting to this:
