Intro
Q. Why the hell is that 1 T capitalized?
A. Cause it is.
Q. So why DID you make this?

Color codes
Q. What is with the Colored title?
A. To make it interesting. Color codes are used in many maps in many ways!
Q. Ok...Give me examples of color codes!
A. ...say it.
Q. Please...
A. Ok then!
Color codes basiclly are great ways to spice up the game. Color codes are determined by what you put in them. All start with a |c then it varies what you put in next. Its a 8 letter/diget combination that can include 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,a,B,b,C,c,D,d,E,e,F, or f.
Next after all of that comes the text. You put in whatever you want. After that is |r
Some examples of color codes:
Green: |cff32cd32Text|r
Red: |cffff0000Text|r
Orange: |cff995500Text|r
Yellow: |cffffcc00Text|r
Light Blue: |cff7777aaText|r
If i typed |cff995500This tutorial so far isnt funny I guess...|r
It would appear as This tutorial so far isnt funny I guess...

Importing!
Q. OMFG!! DUDE!! THIS ONE GUY HAS SO AWESOME STUFF THAT NEVER APPEARS IN TFT THATS IN HIS MAP AND NOT IN MINE!!
A. 1. No caps locks, please.
2. He imported them. Importing models, skins, etc is how you get neat stuff in games. Be careful though, because some of the files (mainly music) take up MASSIVE SPACE!!!
Q. What can be imported anyway?
A. If you got it from an internet site, you need to unzip it first. Then, in the file is what you need. The following documents are catigorized in Wc3 WE as these:
Image/texture (icons, skins, pictures, etc):
blp, tga (correct me please if im wrong, ill adjust.)
Model: Mdx, Mdl
Text: txt
Music/sound: Mp3
Hope this helps!
Q. The thing wont load properly!
A. Either:
1. you did not follow the given path.
2. You didnt download all skins.
3. You used / instead of \
4. The file is non existant.
Q. Ok, When I download, I see two colors of text for the skin paths, what are they?
A. They are included and not included skins. The darker colored ones are already in the game and dont take any space. The brighter colored are in the file, adding extra room.
Q. This music file is to big!
A. Music takes up the most space in a map. What do you expect?
Attachments!!
Q. What are attachments?
A. Attachments are basiclly what makes the hero have a sword, shield etc in his hands, a helm on his head, etc.
Q. What are some attachment points please?
A. You people vex me...
Q. What does Vexing you have to do with Warcraft 3? And Why does it vex you?
A. Vexing is to annoy one or pester one with a distrubing manner. Basiclly, you people are pesticides. It has to do with the tutorial since this is probibly the question I see more than any in any section of the site. I had to learn on my ow-
Q. I said "please!"
A. ...Very well. I will list all attachment points I know in this format.
