I want to know if the ROC version world editor (WE) can be upgraded to TFT version WE. Since I read some posts about the bugs that appeared when saving maps like w3x to w3m or vice versa, I was wondering if the WE is able to countertackle the bugs that cause this problem. I could say, the bugs are from the TFT version, so why not install it into the ROC version, so it could use the models from the TFT?

In order to support this: search for "w3x to w3m" in the search forum, and look it up. Darg said something about modeled files extracted into w3m files could change it to w3x files. But i'm not 100% clear, around 70% or so.


Back to topic, anyone could tell me, is great. :D

isnt
w3x - Maps that are using TFT stuff like the trigger editor, TFT units, ant etc..
w3m - Maps that are not using anything related to TFT

And I want to try my hand at creating maps in the limited environment of the RoC editor, but I don't know how to degrade the TFT editor.. any ideas?

You want to degrade? :confused:
Why?

I thought upgrading ROC versions would satisfy anybody.

Trust me, the Tft editor is limited enough...

It's just that Blizzard decided to "forget" to remove some of the Tft-only stuff from the Roc editor, forcing it to be a w3x (tft map) file as soon as you save. It's just a way to try to get you to buy the expansion.
If you have the Tft expansion, just install it and get the latest patch by going on to b.net (as if to sign in, and it will say it's downloading files). And that's it. Really just a few things changed from editor to editor, and it's less of a new editor and just the Roc editor with a few new things like Tft models and some new trigger stuff.

TFT editor is oh so much better than the RoC one. You can import stuff into your map with the TFT only import manager and still have it be RoC compatible. Also, you can use most (everything I have tried has worked, but I havent tried them all) TFT trigger functions in RoC maps as long as you just convert the functions to custom text when your done and before you save.

Degrading the editor is easy, I believe you just need to delete one file from your WC directory, and it should go back to RoC editor, or so I read once.

lol, I do that every day; I only have ROC. Just a suggestion, don't get too attached to be able to make custom spells or use JASS :p

Anyway:

What do u mean? Do you want the TFT editor without actually buying the expansion?

You could always just buy TFT and get the full benifit rather than trying to figure out how to do this by becoming an uber limewire pirate.

I don't want an uber pirated TFT editor!


All I ask was: CAN IT BE UPGRADED?

Answer it first, then comment it.

Blizzard makes you buy TFT to get a decent WE. That's just the way they handle their products. They want money, so they make the RoC editor crap, then make a better one that you can get for another $50. (And then they only sell the WC3 battlechest in Alaska, so I have to buy it all for $60 and have 2 copies of roc! Yay! :nuts: )

No. You cannot 'upgrade' to TFT editor. You CAN download a pirate version of TFT online, but that's stealing and is very against the law and very stupid, and those generally prohibit you from playing on RoC as well, because of the CD key thing, and since this subject isn't supported on TH, I'm gonna shut up now. :rolleyes:

Okay, okay, okay. I just ask can it be upgraded, I didn't say I want it so bad that you have to say a lot of things. I know piracy is against the law. Just asking. Sheeh! :rolleyes:


Edit: Tonks, could you help me out here ?

Yes, but not legally.
You'd just need to copy over the new .mpqs and worldedit.exe.

Ooo! Now you let it lose, will anyone else make a comment?

Unless you write it in a hidden form.
What I meant was, if there is a way to upgraded the WE, is a good start on this thread. :D

Not about piracy! Not about illegal stuff! :D

You can't have the TFT editor if you don't have TFT and don't want to become a pirate. Period. Question answered. Period.

generally the answer is no...even if you do manage to upgrade the editor only...how do you intend to play/test your map?
just buy tft if you want to use the tft editor. its simple like that.

question answered, no need to keep this open.

    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
