WEU - WE Unlimited .....

[flamdo]

I've been browsing terrain forum and am confused. They keep saying not to use blizzard cliffs? and something about a tool called WEU? what is it and what does it do?

WE Unlimited is a world editor created by pitzermike.

Description

WE Unlimited is a simple executable file that adds additional power to
the Warcraft III World Editor without modifying any of the files of your
Warcraft installation. It enables map creators to do things previously
not possible and extends certain World Editor limits.

This tool has many interesting and helpful features, however it contains some bugs as well.
For beginners, its use can not recommended.

WEU is mostly used for some of its features such as 16 tiles. Other usage is usually for the advanced triggers, though WEU has many bugs and can easily corrupt maps, so it is not recommended. Some people download WEU just for its height limit removal, though the miscdata.txt can easily do that.
WEU has its advantages though it is not recommended, but I use it because it allows 16 tiles, and that is basically it. :emote_smile:

For my own part, I use only WEU Enhancer. This tool is provided with the software and can be used separately.

It's simple to use the enhancer (for example) to add additional tiles. Simply open and edit a map using WEU Enhancer, add the extra tiles, save the map and then open it and continue the editing process using Blizzard's default WE.

Perhaps the next time pitzermike logs on to The Hive he might have the time to clue us in a little more. That aside, WE Unlimited is already very well documented and commented upon over at wc3c.

WE Unlimited is not a standalone map editor Wolverabid. I also thought WEU was made for beginners. After all, what else would the 'advanced' triggers be for? PitzerMike doesn't recommend using WEU anymore I believe I've seen somewhere.
