1. Opening the map in World Editor

Simon Mossmyr edited this page Apr 18, 2018 · 1 revision

The .w3x under the Releases tab is optimized and put under protection, so you can't open it in World Editor. To do this you require at least WarCraft III 1.29 and some third party software:

Install said software and then proceed with these steps:

  1. Clone this repo anywhere,
  2. Make a copy of any .w3x map and place it anywhere. Some can be found in X:\...\WarCraft III\Maps\FrozenThrone,
  3. Make a copy of X:\...\Enfo-MTE-repository\mpq-listfile.txt and place it in MPQMaster's listfile directory X:\...\MPQ master v1.2.0\mpqmaster\Listfiles\,
  4. Open up said map in MPQMaster with the listfile and delete all files in it,
  5. Import all files and directories found in X:\...\Enfo-MTE-repository\w3x-mpq-raw\ into the map,
  6. Open the map using SharpCraft WEX.

Done. Make sure the map compiles and is playable using the Test Map button.
