Hey, fellow mapmakers!

I have been curious, how many lines of codes are there in some of seemingly gigantic maps like Gaias Retaliations, Iceborn, Sunken Ruins, etc. I know size of project is not only determined by number of codes but other things like world size, etc. also count.
But here I'm specifically asking for how many lines of codes are there in your map? Both pre- and post-compilation one. No matter whether it's coded in GUI, jass, vJass, or anything else. And again, it's not used to judge how big your project is.

I will start with my maps :3
Map NameTypeBefore CompilationAfter Compilation
#1 - Glideonmostly vJass17347 lines29009 lines
#2 - Coconut Partymostly vJass13713 lines21925 lines
#3 - Ring Outmostly vJass3617 lines3897 lines
Well, I've lost the unprotected version of my Flappy Bird map. I'm sure it has more codes than Ring Out.
And I know my maps heavily rely on codes and it's kind of unfair. But, here we are not about to determine who's the best. We are just sharing around. :)

So, how do we count them?
opun
1. Before compilation
  • Open your map
  • Go to trigger editor
  • Open File>Export triggers
  • Open the .wct file with notepad
  • Copy all
  • Paste at the box here: Line Counter

2. After compilation
  • Open your map with any mpq browser app
  • Extract war3map.j
  • Open it with notepad
  • Copy all
  • Paste at the box here: LINK

Number of lines will be displayed right below the box.

*if your code is GUI, there's no way yet to count the number of lines at once. So can only post the after compilation one.


It's your right to manipulate things. We don't take these statistics seriously anyway, it's just for fun!
If you need the table's bb codes.
