I had some trouble with this as well, so I followed these steps for windows 10:

1. Open the editor

2. Click the open folder icon near the top left to open a map/mod

3. Click the battle.net tab on the window that pops up and log in using your credentials

4. For source, select Map/Mod Name

5. Type War3

6. Download War3 (GA), War3AI (GA), War3 Data (GA), War3 Extra (GA), and War3 Terrain (GA). NOTE: TO SAVE THESE, YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN THEM AND THEN CLICK SAVE AS AND YOU WILL NEED TO USE SPECIFIC FILE NAMES. File names are given below for convenience as well as in Renee's initial post:

War3 (GA) -> WarCraft.SC2Mod

War3AI -> WarCraftMeleeAI.SC2Mod

War3 Data (GA) -> WarCraftData.SC2Mod

War3 Extra (GA) -> WarCraftDataAbil.SC2Mod

War3 Terrain (GA) -> WarCraftTerrainArt.SC2Mod

7. You will likely get an error message after you open up "War3 Data (GA)" (maybe War3AI (GA) as well) telling you it can't find the dependencies. THAT'S OKAY, continue saving them, ignore the errors that pop up. The default location to save them is probably Documents\Starcraft II\Mods. We will be moving these files to a different location later because the editor is stupid and needs them somewhere else. I will get to that in the next step.

8. Go to Program Files (x86)\Starcraft II

9. Create a folder called "Mods" there. Why doesn't this folder already exist you may ask? Because Blizzard sucks and likes to watch you suffer using their crappy editor. Deal with it.

10. Create a folder called "WarCraft" inside the folder called "Mods"

11. Copy and paste all your saved mods from before into that "WarCraft" folder.

12: Create a map by pressing the new map button at the top left of the War3 editor window

13: Select arcade map

14: Select custom on choose dependencies, then modify

15: Select add other

16: Select local files tab

17. Select the War3 mods you saved earlier. You don't need all of them as shown in Renee's initial post depending on what you want to do, but you can add all of them just in case if you want.

Congrats! Have fun

Ehm I followed all of the steps, but when I click ''Next'' after adding all the dependencies nothing happens. Literally nothing. If I try to use the Standard dependencies it works as normal. Any help?

Im on EU, and I JUST downloaded it so it can't be out of date. I hope you guys can help me out. I really enjoyed WC3 back in the day ;-;

ok i logging into battlenet click downlaod, im stil on the battlenet listing screan after download , now how do i open it/resave wasted enough time on this needlessly,

Edit ....resaveing this is a complete ball ache to a part time hobbyist, why not just a direct download on this site.. i can't open the file to resave because i get the dependency error, and i cant find the file that is downloaded from bnet to open manually. the File-open- resave to mod is poorly explained, if you cant open the mod from the editor because of the dependency error that wont let you open the mod because it requires it to be named a different name then i cant resave it to that different name , perhaps im missing the glariously obvious.

How do I save the mod? 6. Download War3 (GA), War3AI (GA), War3 Data (GA), War3 Extra (GA), and War3 Terrain (GA). NOTE: TO SAVE THESE, YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN THEM AND THEN CLICK SAVE AS AND YOU WILL NEED TO USE SPECIFIC FILE NAMES. File names are given below for convenience as well as in Renee's initial post:

War3 (GA) -> WarCraft.SC2Mod

War3AI -> WarCraftMeleeAI.SC2Mod

War3 Data (GA) -> WarCraftData.SC2Mod

War3 Extra (GA) -> WarCraftDataAbil.SC2Mod

War3 Terrain (GA) -> WarCraftTerrainArt.SC2Mod

can you like put this on youtube?

File->Open->Battle.net

Select War3 (GA), click Download.

Click OK to open it.

File->Save to save it.

Click this to Open the mod

And then you can use ‘File->Save’ to resave it.

How do I save it?

After you've opened that mod, Go 'File->Save' to save it.

Or use hotkey: Ctrl+S

Renee! Everytime I try to create a map with the dependencies, When I press ''Next'' after choosing all the dependencies (WarCraft.SC2Mod, WarCraftMeleeAI.SC2Mod, WarCraftData.SC2Mod, WarCraftDataAbil.SC2Mod, WarCraftTerrainArt.SC2Mod) literally nothing happens. The cursor becomes the circly loading thingy for maybe half a second before turning back into the normal cursor, But besides that nothing happens.

I NEEDS HALP.

Remove Warcraft and WarCraftData from the list and try again. Because WarCraftDataAbil already depended on they.

it already has a file named mods

one small issue, the wc3 race picky thing is seprate from the sc2 races(im using 7 races) do u know how to combine?

Hello I make the transfer progress between the maps. Trying to transfer the level of ability . I use function "Add Level To Unit Ability". However, it is not working correctly. Is there a way to automatically raise the level of ability?

Otherwise, I use the function to "Issues order", and use the ability of learning.

I suggest you guys create a new thread instead of replying this thread. If Renee is busy she will hardly notice new replies.

Hi Guys, everytime I try to make a new map with these dependencies following the steps from both Renee and another poster here I keep getting this error:

Also in Renee's instructions where he modifies War 3 Extra and adds the local file "WarCraftAbil.SC2Mod" is that supposed to be "WarCraftDataAbil.SC2Mod"?

Thanks for the help

You seems created wrong folder.

It's 'WarCraft', not 'Warcraft 3'.

You simply can't modify the official race pick list. It's hard coded.

Issues order is a better way to do this. Add Level To Unit Ability kind of work, but it does not respect the ability points.

New problem.

-> WarCraftDataAbil.SC2Mod

That one doesn't save, it gives me some "script compile errors"

And i don't understand that stuff, so what do I do now?
