If you want to edit the items you should just
extract the war3map.t and then
import it into World Editor just like so:
After you do the edits, click on
"Export Item Settings",
save and
reinsert the war3map.t edited into the map.
Now if you want just simple start with X amount of gold then just do this:
1. Open the map with MPQ Editor (you can download it here:
http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html);
2. Select a random listfile (you can download one from here:
useful-tools-f69/listfiles-t13941-40.html#p194354)
3. Look for a file called
war3map.j and drop it into your folder.
4. Now open up JassCraft and select the war3map.j (you can download JassCraft here:
http://forum.wc3edit.net/useful-tools-f ... 36560.html).
5. Since you are new and don't know how to code in JASS I'll just do a code which you can
simply ctrl + c and ctrl + v to every map which you want to start with X gold. That's the code:
First part:
Code:
function StartGold takes nothing returns nothing
local integer i = 0
loop
call SetPlayerState( Player( i ), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD, PUT YOUR DESIRED AMOUNT HERE )
set i = i + 1
exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYER_SLOTS
endloop
endfunction
Second part:
Code:
call StartGold()
5.1. Press CTRL + F, search for "function main" and paste the first part of the code above the function main.
5.1.2. For example, if you want to start with 50.000 gold just edit that part of the code like so:
5.2. Now copy the second part and put it below function main takes nothing returns nothing
5.2.1. NOTE: If your map has a local(s) in function main, put the second part of the code directly below them.
5.3. Save all the edits made and insert the war3map.j back into the map with Ladik's MPQ Editor.
5.4. Now it's time to test. Open up Warcraft 3 and start a game with the map.
5.4.1 NOTE: To check if you did everything right, the map will show all the player slots. If the map does not has player slots, or does not has the correct player slots, then something was probably done incorrectly, which you can confirm by trying to start the game. If the game won't start, try editing a fresh/new copy of the map again!
5.5. There you go!
