Something you should add to the tutorial. If the map is bigger than 4MB then it won't work using the campaign editor. You can attach the map, add it to a button and save properly. But when you enter wc3, and press that button that will start your map you will just come back to the same screen. Have tested around both with new maps and my own campaign map. Would be nice if someone proved me wrong though.

In order to test that I would need some campaign that's over 4MB large. :p
I guess importing a song would do the trick..
I'll try it out when I got the time.

I doubt that.
Afaik, 4mb is only the battle.net limit.

Maybe it was something you imported which was the cause of this.

On another note, Everything you import should be imported into the campaign file, not the map :p

Yep, I had the same problem, but as Romek said, you're maps shouldn't include any imports, only the campaign file. You'll have to reassign all references to these filles in your map though.

Actually. You don't need to import everything that is used in your campaign into the campaign itself. -You can import certain stuff into the maps as well.
Such as Loading Screens and models and icons which are only used in that specific map.

I've never heard of anything like that before. :confused:
You should probably start a thread about it, and maybe upload your campaign, so that we can have a look at it..

You should add how to stop a cinematic from appearing your second time-about.

It's too specific and basic.

Great Guide. Definately helped me, but what I'm still stuck on and cant seem to figure out is, how to save items the hero is carrying?

It was a long time since I used Wc3 World Editor, but if I remember correctly the items and abilities are automatically saved. When you save and Load the Hero.

This was a good guide.
I seriously want to be a map maker, +rep.
This taught me how to make a campaign map, seeing as I wanted to make one.

P.S: +rep :thup:

    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
