World editor Mobile?

[Gree-D]

Is there tool or is it possible to edit map on android?

I guess your best bet for now would be an online version of the editor. Although, not sure how you'd test it if the game wouldn't run.
However, @Retera boasted about mobile porting of the game.

Warsmash Android

A thread about Warsmash on Android and its questionable history

I wouldn't exactly call this boasting. It's some technology experimentation.

Some people messaged me about it on discord and said that my rewrite+port of WC3 on Android done in this way had worse performance and was less fully featured than if they would simply get a Windows virtual machine on android and use it to run the Warcraft 3 game.

So if your goal is literally blizzard's world editor, maybe the same would apply. The best tool might be the thing itself.

Otherwise if you want new/different software that would work on mobile, Rivsoft used to have a fantastic website that could browse unit data in WC3, allowed you to upload a custom map and then view models in it or view the terrain of the map using Ghostwolf's WebGL viewer, and maybe some other features. But these things have no business model. The guy eventually took his thing offline. The code exists on github but noobdy else ever bothered to host it that I know of.

For me, it always felt a bit like the "mobile" technology ecosystem exists to exploit us. Assuming other people would tend to feel the same, they might not be very interested in building Warcraft 3 editor for android because anybody doing that kin dof work on Android would make more money exploiting the user than by creating a novel technology. I think that Activision's work in this space is an example. They have a huge following on discord for "Arclight Rumble" game that is based on the idea of selling you the Jaina, or selling you the Grom Hellscream, to get your money before you would realize that kind of game design is a scam.

So, in that way, the motivation in society for any human to build a mobile Warcraft 3 map editor is going away, because that's not the economically most viable way to exploit a mobile user. Instead, the way to exploit a mobile user is a game like ARclight Rumble.

One way I have tried to solve the problem is by buying Librem 5 from the puri.sm website, but that is not necessarily going to work for non-programmer users.

Here is a link to a thread about it:

Online WC3/map data viewer

Hello there. I finally finished a web app that can parse WC3 maps and show contained files, object data and map script right in your browser. This is basically a renewed version of RMPQEx (if anyone remembers that), ported fully to web. All processing is done right inside the browser, the map...

They mention at the bottom of the thread that the site is gone now, but in theory the code used to create the site is here:
