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.

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.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
