So, I've been a Warcraft 3 player for a few years now, and recently decide to start a project to create a map to paly with friends. Basically, what I want to create is a game that play exactly like Dota, but with my custom models for heroes, creeps, etc. With that in mind, I started messing around in the World Editor and reading some tutorials over the net. However, I fell like I've only managed to get more confused about how to proceed in my goal. That's why I came here, to ask for some good beginner tutorials to help me grasp the concepts of map creating and the real depth of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I realize I'm being too blunt I'm asking this, since I'm basically asking for someone to walk me through the begining process, but I really feel totally lost! Should I creat my map from scratch or should I try to use some of the things already present on Dota maps? What kind of knowledge will I need to be able to create what I want/ What kind of programs should I use? Any kind of help to start my journey would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance for those willing to help!
