Warcraft III World Editor


The Warcraft III World Editor is the built-in level editor for the real-time strategy game ' and its expansion set '. Incorporating the core mechanics of the level editor of Blizzard Entertainment's previous strategy game StarCraft, it allows users to create and customize their own maps with a high level of detail and flexibility. The editor has been used in creating several popular custom maps, including Defense of the Ancients. The level editor was substantially improved for The Frozen Throne and allowed users to create cut scenes supporting voice-overs.
Advanced features of the editor allow for custom models, tilesets and icons. The editor also supports Blizzard's JASS scripting language for programming complex actions otherwise not supported by the graphical interface.

Modules

The editor is divided into different modules that allow the user to customize different features of a map.
