- TL;DR at the bottom -
Hello, I'm curious about how you guys are making maps nowadays. The way I see it there are three different "editions" of the World Editor atm - Correct me if im wrong;
1) Some sort of Legacy Editor, backuped from an old patch (incredibly there doesnt seem to be anything out on the webs for download)
2) The bought-and-downloaded Reforged editor
3) The half-Reforged editor that you get if you download Reforged-without-buying-it-kinda-deal...
Is this a good way to look at it? What do you think and what do you use?
I'm asking because I'd like to make my map playable on older patches, say 1.26a-1-27b, so that it can be played on 3rd party arenas like iccup etc. But it doesnt seem like older versions of the client can open maps made with newer versions of the editor, so it doesnt make sense for me to work on my map in the new Reforged Editor?
Right now I have one Legacy client (1.27b) installet, with an editor that I can't get to run (it crashes on boot) and one half-assed reforged client (the one where you download it but don't pay; 3rd on my list above), where the editor seems to work, but it won't produce any game files that I can use for my purposes...
Now, I'm not super up-to-date with the wc3 community, but it seems to me like the Reforged client is still universally disliked and barely functioning? Again correct me if im wrong... So isn't the old clients the way to go if you want people to play your map and give the community what they want (maps they can play on their prefrerred client). Or are you guys working in the reforged editor?
I don't exactly know where i'm going with this, feels like im rambling a bit, hehe. I guess I'd be really thankful if someone who happens to have a backup of an old version of the editor (1.26a-1.27b) they could share with me... Or help me out in some other way, by answering my questions or otherwise
THANKS GUYS!
TL;DR: I'd like a version of the World Editor that can make maps compatible for patches in the 1.26a-1.27b range. Can someone send me a copy/How can I get my hands on one in some other way?
