copying the terrain

[qweasd011]

you see im making a ice terrain of vamp speed but i cant i deprotected it but when i play crashes, i import the files into the real vamp it works, its a ice terrain but the cliffs are lordaeron summer how can i change that if you take a look here's the map

[Senethior459]

I'm pretty sure one of the text files in the root of the map (war3mapExtra.txt, or war3mapSkin.txt or something), below the war3map.*** files, has some option for the tileset; just change it to the proper one.

[qweasd011]

still the same

Try doing these steps, I did this to fake the Christmas version of Gem TD.

1. Open the files of the deprotector you're using, set the inline fuctions = 0
(Don't need the functions anyways, you can just remove them if you wish using an MPQ editor)

2. Once this is done, make a new map in world editor that is the same size as the original map. Save the map.

3. In an MPQ editor program, open the vampirism map and extract the terrain file (war3map.w3e).

4. Now open the blank map in the MPQ program and import the just extracted terrain file.

5. Open the now not-so-blank map in world editor and edit the hell out of that terrain, because it has to suck if it's in a vampirism map.

6. Save it and re-open it in the MPQ program, extract the terrain file.

7. Open your map in the MPQ program and import the new not-so-shitty terrain into your map.

8. ???

9. Profit!

Note: If you're using it's terrain, the maps have to be the SAME EXACT SIZE. If they're not, you will get an error and WC3 will crash,
WorldEditor will probably fail to load the maps, and it will all suck miserably. (Something about an invalid shadow size, just meaning the
terrain extends past the map's set tile limit)

i don't use world editor i use new gen WE but WE saves it as a .w3m how can i change it to .w3x?

[Kryptonyte]

Um. Delete your stupid NewGen that corrupts maps slowly and SUCKS and get the new World Editor.

Seriously, delete your stupid NewGen. Fucking NewGen.

[qweasd011]

NVM
Edit:

Here's what it looked like in the world editor




Now heres what it looked like in the TFT




Please help!

Lawl.

When you make your new map, make the tileset that frost place.
Otherwise when you import it, I don't think it changes the map's
actual tileset, it just places the new tiles. (When you make a new
map, it's default selected on Lordaeron Summer)

[qweasd011]

It worked but the thing that i can't understand is, the importing the w3e and the doo file because if I set it to Lordaeron Winter it will go back to Lordaeron Summer because the original file is set to Lordaeron Summer any techniques?

REPLY PLEASE!

[Senethior459]

Again, I'm fairly certain that the option for the tileset is either in one of those text files in the map, or in war3map.w3i.
