WARCRAFT III WORLD EDITOR FAQ





How do you use the hidden characters such as the marine and the hydralisk without downloading any special programs?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick any event that you want. Then, use the trigger action "Create Unit." Leave your degrees at default, and remember to create a region first so you can get the secret units created there. Okay, back to the trigger. Choose any quantity of units. Rather than picking from what they give you, use strings for unit-type.
Strings:
Marine- marine
Firebat- chaosspaceorc
Juggernaut- juggernaut
Hydralisk- hydralisk
Zergling- zergling
Those are all I know about right now!






Can you create your own cheats?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes! Actually, it's quite possible. Choose your event as [ Player 1 types a text message as an exact match ]. Choose any text message you want, then simply make an action for it. Whether it be "Add properties to player," or "Change Time to 00:00!"
Here are a few of my own.
BIGMAN- Double the size of all of your units.
SLEEPY- Put all creeps to sleep.
DRYCHEATER- Make all heroes gain quadruple the experience.






Are there cheats that enable the playing of music?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but out of all the sites I found, these were never posted. They may not work for your computer, but they did for mine!
SOPRANOS- Warcraft II Theme Music
RAINYDAYS- Sad Theme Music
BACKINTIME- Starcraft Theme Music
I think there are two more, but I can't remember 'em!







Can you change the voice of your own custom hero?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of people ask this, but unfortunately, no. However, if your hero sounds like a certain unit, that can work. For example:
Archer Hero- Priestess of the Moon
Footman Hero- Paladin
Tauren Hero- Tauren Chieftain
Ghoul- Lich

If you have any questions, just ask me. On weekdays, I usually respond in 8 - 10 hours. On weekends, I usually respond in 4 - 6 hours.

Those music cheats you posted do not work on my computer. This does not make sense, since everybody has the same game. Any cheat that works for one person should work for everyone.

How did you get them to work? Are these listed on the blizz website?

Oh, I went to that site, yes, it answered a lot of things I was about to ask you.

Smartguy! How do ya change the model of a unit to the hidden units?

For example, changing a peasant to a marine model?

but smartguy, I asked how did you get them to work? I typed for example 'backintime' in a single player game and nothing happened. I tried the other ones and they didn't work either.

Tell me!!!!!! :)


To the unregistered dude - u could get umswe to access the hidden units if you want (umsmaps.com)

That is the same thing my friend told me.
I myself, don't understand why. Ask other people if it worked for them. I know a few friends that had those cheats work for them. Using this cheats don't require modifying anything, I really don't understand.

But, IT IS TRUE that those cheats DID work for ME.

Oh! Dumb me!
Der! Sorry, my friend reminded me!

You'll need this info!

These cheats will only work if they are typed between 18:00 and 22:00! Also, if any cheats are typed following music cheats, the music will be disabled. Also, this may only work on an upgraded version.

Do you mean between 18:00 and 22:00 in the game world or the real world?

I just tried typing those in between 18:00 and 22:00 in the game world and none of them worked.

Like I said, it doesn't work. There must be something else you haven't mentioned yet.

It's a pity that replays don't save the chat text as well, because I would ask you to make a replay of you typing the cheats in and getting them to work....

I just had a thought.....


If there really was a cheat to play the war2 theme music and one to play the starcraft theme music, then both music files would have been stored inside war3.mpq as mp3 files (all music in war3 is encoded as mp3 files).

So I had a look. and, while there does exist the file "War2IntroMusic.mp3", I cannot find ANY music file referring to starcraft music, and thus I must assume that this starcraft music simply does not exist.

ALL music files are also archived in the sound editor inside worldedit. Again, the war2 music is there, but the starcraft music is NOT.

So how exactly did you get a cheat to play starcraft music when no starcraft music exists?

I really know nothing about this, but..... but......

Yeah, i know it should be there.

I checked the internal music myself, and WarcraftII theme music does exist, however I did not find the "starcraft" music.

That's because the starcraft music IS NOT THERE.

I have been working on war3 mapmaking for a long time now, and I think I'm pretty familiar with what the game does have and doesn't have, and I can tell you that NO STARCRAFT MUSIC EXISTS ON THE WAR3 CD.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
