whitedragon254's Road to the Homeland Chapter 1

I'm really intrigued about playing a custom Campaign where the bloodelves finally find their new home/source of magic/whatever, and whitedragon254's Road to the Homeland Chapter 1 is all I can find so far, but I'm having a bit of an issue with it. I download it as a .w3x file, since it's only the first chapter, and it says the file's too big to play. I save it as a .w3n file and when I go into the custom campaign menu and double click it, it goes to a black screen with "just another warcraft III campaign" along the bottom, but nothing to click on. Am I saving it wrong or what? I tried to see if there was any way to mail whitedragon254 on here, but I couldnt see anything... anywho, feedback would be most appreciated as this map intrigues me a lot!|||For starters, changing it from .w3x -> .w3n is not something you should do, unless you know for a fact that it is indeed a campaign file and it had it's file extension changed for some unknown reason (basically, don't change the file extension ever, there's no need to).

Secondly "I download it as a .w3x file, since it's only the first chapter, and it says the file's too big to play. ", what are you trying to do? Play this on Battle.net? I would assume the game is single-players (only guessing) and is not meant for Online/Battle.net, so do not play custom games that are several mb large, on Battle.net.|||I think 2.5Mbs is the limit.|||Yes this is only the first chapter sorry. Life's been hitting me pretty hard so the campaigns on hold atm.

I had a problem in the past where the map got corrupted. Im going to check right now. Sorry for the inconvenince.

Edit: Actually thanks for posting about my map, made me relise that this isnt my new version i made a while back. xD i am uploading the new version (Well it was actually made almost a month ago but i forgot to upload it), just as soon as i double check it to make sure i finshed all of it.

Ok done, new map has been uploaded. I apologise for the size but the map is much better now

A Certain RPG

Hello all, I found my warcraft 3 discs not too long ago and installed the beloved and forgotten game. However I was looking for a map and can't recall what it was called.

I thought it was an Open RPG but all the maps I find are the level up ones. The ones i'm thinking of were you were given a spawner and could make whatever you wanted and you made your own stories with other player, a roleplaying thing. There was a series of the maps, all different terrain and stuff.

If anyone can help me find what these maps were called it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit - Also, if it's a help to anyone the commands were usually entered in a -Command Variable type of format. Such as "-spawn 12 footman" or "-weather heavy lordaeron rain"

EDIT- (Again!) - I found some of the "new" ones for it, but I still want to find the older ones if anyone knows where to find them.

Looking for a skilled player

So i got into Wc3 a few nights ago and im getting the hang of things and i train against the cpu, but some of the things cpu does just blows me away.

I've only managed to beat the normal cpu once.

So I've gotten to a desperate level or wanting a mentor. Just someone who can play games and set up situations and other things mentors do to help me become experienced and have more understanding of the game.

Please and thanks in forward to whom ever is happy to help.|||I suggest you rather go watch random replays. There are many websites dedicated to replays and warcraft skill, you just have to find them.

Some important aspects:

1. The hero is the most important part of your army. I've watched a few high level games, and in those games the heroes meant everything, and the game tends to be over when one player's hero dies. The item shop is essential in this regard.

2. Micro-management. This is arguably the most important skill in Warcraft 3. Micro units out of harm's way, block in enemy units, focus fire, DO NOT attack move, learn to cast spells the most effective way, etc.

3. Expanding is also extremely important; it will determine whether you get starved of resources in longer games or if you are the player with 20000 unused gold at the end of the game. Related to that, your gold should never go above 500.

4. Build more unit production buildings as time goes by; if you find your army destroyed you'll have to build it up again very quickly.

I'm not a pro or anything (I think I've only beaten an Insane computer about once...), but I believe these tips to be quite valid. However, I strongly suggest that you rather play against HUMANS! Playing against other people helps you te learn new playstyles, tactics and such, and it's much better practice.

DotA.....

I guess you have heard of Basshunter? A Swedish music artist that made the song about DotA...

I just did a random google search for it, and found this, OH MY GOD.... I am speechless!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjJ8J9R9bkE|||Not funny? =P|||*watches a tumbleweed go by* O.o - I just thought the video was odd xD I can't believe someone made a song about that ..that.. abomination of a game! *runs*|||The video isn't funny, it's not like the first time we've seen a guy looking stupid while singing along to a bad song over his webcam.

The real music video is better, it starts with guys playing dota in a basement and ends up with them performing the song on stage at a rave, with a packed house of people dancing.|||That "rave" is Dreamhack =)

But yeah, just youtube "DotA Basshunter" for it. I like it as well. Very "sub culture" and cool to be in a mainstream music video. =) Think the lady in the beginning is his real mom, and the guys his real friends. They sure look geeky enough to be =)

Can't play new maps.

Hey i am new to here and i think i posted in the wrong section, i think.



Well i downloaded maps and i saved them and the folder, when i try to play them it doesn't show the area that says ''player 1, human, color, and etc'' and when i try to press ''play'' it just ''refreshes'' the page. Also some maps give me an error and it exits out of WarCraft. Any help? Thanks.|||1. What Warcraft III game do you have? Reign of Chaos or Reign of Chaos -and- The Frozen Throne?

2. Where are you downloading the maps? Are you sure you're fully downloading them properly?|||3. What patch do you have? If you don't have the most recent patch, get it and try again.

New AoS style 3v3v3 map, please host it so it can get some feedback

Hello there. Im N-gen5 on Lorderon (West).

My friend recently showed me a map he had made in a AoS style 3v3v3, and asked me if i would try and find people to host it. Ive checked it out and it is a good map. There are no bugs, this is not a trojan horse scam, just me wanting to help out a pal.

Here is the link for the map:

i lost my CD case how do i get my current CD key?

dose anyone know a program that will tell you your current cd key for warcraft frozen throne?|||I dident find a program, but a know 1 method to get that cd-key back.

- But it's almost impossible.


Quote:




Go to start > Run > Type: Regedit > go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\




Then you have to look for warcraft 3 folder, and manually find the Key.

- Or if you know some strings of the key, go to "Edit" and then "Search".

Good Luck :)|||yeah i went into thoes folders but couldnt find any CD key|||Then theres nothing to do, then buy a new CD KEY.

It dosent cost that much..|||I was thinking if I download microsoft windows on my mac and then try a w3ft disc specified for a (pc) Would it work?|||If I download microsoft windows on my mac and then try a w3ft disc specified for a (pc) would it work?
