How do you delete everything in a newly-created map?

[tom_mai78101]

All the units, from Humans to Night Elves, gone, disappeared, vanished, etc. from a newly-created map.

Usually, a new map has all those units loaded and be ready to use as a melee map, but I want to delete every unit in the Object Editor.

I want to have a very clean map whenever I start up the WE.

Thanks in advance.

u mean all the custom units is gone or the blizzard standard units too ?

 

[Tom Jones]

That's obviously impossible.

 

[zoll3]

If its the blizzard standard units u wanna delete all of .. then yeah as tom jones said .. it is kinda impossible ...

If u mean all the custom units thats made .. then yeah .. you just right click on the folder and then delete

Well.. Not impossible. You can delete every file pertaining to the units in the MPQ's, but that's slow and ineffective, and it would only remove the data - the "unkown A000" or something of the sort would still be there.

 

[Azedenkae]

Yeah, and why would you want to anyways?

I mean, isn't it better to have those models as something to model on and such?

Just a tip; you should never remove them, even if you could/can. They take like 0.0000001 KB! space! Just the bother of removing them is like, really wasting your life! :banghead:

They might be handy, since you can copy paste those you want to "use", so all units you are using, will be in "custom units". Thats what I do to get a somehow good system,well organized... Like all heroes in Custom Human Heroes, all buildings in Human Buildings (if only 1 "race", like sheep tag, it got 1 "race"....)

Actually a 64x64 empty map, takes 15-20 kb! l0l0l
Cheerio

Yea, why delete them, there're there by default

Actually, they take up absolutely no space in your map. They are only paths to the War3.mpq and War3x.mpq that reference the data and models, which everyone already has, so you don't need them in your map.

Y they are pointers...

You may have noticed that whenever you edit some line in the Object Editor it turns pink?

Well, those lines, and only those, are saved as part of your map.
Anything that remains the default black takes no space at all. Obviously, everybody already has it...

This applies to both edited default units and custom units. (Or custom abilities / upgrades / doodads / ...)

Removing the already existing stuff is 1. impossible, and 2. completely pointless.

If you mean that you want world editor to open up quicker, then go:
File>Preferences>General Tab> then untick 'Create a new map on Startup'

Yes! Everything. I want to start a brand new map from 0 KB to at least 1 byte.

After I read everyone's posts, I felt the only way to do this is by clicking on each item in the object editor, then press delete for each of them, about a total of 466 times!!

Why not take this idea in the first place...?
