Item levels & Custom MPQ's

[BcBoy]

Two simple questions...

1: I've looked through the Gamplay Constans and lot's of settings in the MapEditor, but can't find a way to increase maxlevel on items. I would like to have higher MaxLvl on my items then 8. ( Would save alot of triggering )

2: When i make my mod/map/multiplayer-campaign for WC3 there of course will be some custom files. Is there any way to make WC3 to fetch info from a mpq-file? Or do i have to have all files in folders like oldschool?

For the first one. Hold shift then click on the level you want to modify. You can make it go as high as you want.

As for the second one, no there is no way to fetch data from an external MPQ file.

Quesion 2: Thanks. Then i know how to make my map...

Question 1: Hold shift when i'm clicking where? Didn't work in the object editor...

i'm adding a Pic to show what kind of itemlevel i'm talking about...

There is no way to fetch data from an external MPQ file.

Wrong. It is possible. Though your custom .mpq must use the name War3Patch.mpq it's crude but it works. There's also a way to convert a .mpq to a .exe that runs wc3 using that .mpq you made the .exe with. But I can't remember if that method still works.

I've searched the web for hours but all i can find is MPQ editors...

The ultimate is if i could make my campaing like this.

1 mpq-file with EVERYTHING... maps, sounds, randompictures, etc, etc. So i can, for example, Preload "/sounds/unit/paladin.wav" from the mpq instead of from a folder in the WC3 directory


And perhaps a exe to activate the mpq. It's going to be a multiplayer campaign so i can't use the normal campaign-slots.

under your object editor, under item, go to your item, go to Stats - level, highlight it.
then Press Shift + left click 2 times, the box will pop out, key in 99 or whatever integer you like.

Ah... Thanks. Now i got it. However, it still says on some places that the item are lvl 8.

Would this condition still work if i set the item to lvl 10 & the unit to 12? or will the game count the item as lvl8 anyway?

• Conditions
  • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Less than (Item level of (Last created item))

 

[canons200]

huh? some item still show as level 8? so far i haven't seen, can list me some example?
well if your editor still count them as lv 8, that is lv 8.

I've attatched a screenshot of it...

 

[canons200]

oh, unit......................... =.='
this 1 go to your main editor, advanced, gameplay constants, tick use custom gameplay constants, scroll all the way down. you will see unit maximum level, set it to 100.

100 is the maximum value, as like movespeed maximum value is 522

 

[BcBoy]

But that i know already... I wanna change the max level of ITEM's... The way you told me worked. BUt it only show lvl12 in the Object Editor... Other places it shows lvl 8. My question is if Trigger's involving the items lvl ( Example: Compares a Hero's lvl to a Items Lvl ) will count the item as lvl 8 or lvl 12.

 

[canons200]

you say object editor show at lv 12 but that "other place" show it at lv 8, where is that place?
so far, i don't meet this problem, that object lv 12 but other place lv 8,
well maybe you can try to base off the same item.

 

[BcBoy]

Well, check the picture i attatched above... There i show an item, both from the object editor & from the Terrain editor.

 

[canons200]

oh, =.=' don't worry, as long as your object editor set the item to 12 lv, it will remain lv 12, just that the "show" maximum value is cap at lv 8

 

[BcBoy]

Ah... Then everything should work as i planned then...

Thanks for helping info - Rep Given.
