As you could guess by the date of the last news item, I'm not currently active in Warcraft 3 map making. I will start making maps again when Starcraft 2 comes out!

Elil has updated the Save Code Demo Map to version 033. This version saves the hero's learned abilities. |
04-17-04
Elil has added a new demonstration map called Elil's Save Code Demo v. 031 which demonstrates how to encode all of a hero's information in a text code so that it can be written down and entered into a map the next time it is played. The demo maps have now been rearranged to have the newest maps first, especially since some of the older ones are outdated because of patches to the game and World Editor. |
3-14-04
Elil has updated the Vale of Nightmares map once again to version 495, and placed one of the triggers he incorporated into it in a demo map of its own called Elil's Fade Demo v.006. |

With the new patch, the FAQ will need to be updated, but we can't do it alone, we need your help. Send your new FAQ questions (with answers please) to elil@elilz.com
Also if you see anything out of date let us know so we can fix it.

11-15-03
The forum FAQ has been updated. Now all advanced questions appear only on this web page. |
10-31-2003
The 1.13 patch for Warcraft 3 is coming soon. The FAQ will need to be updated after it patch comes out. I will post a new thread in the bnet mapmaking forum and request submissions. Also I will need help in going through the existing FAQ and deleting/fixing entries that have become obsolete.
The format will be changing as well. All entries currently labeled as "advanced" will be removed from the FAQ thread. They will be on this website but the FAQ in the forum needs to be smaller to be useful. Some form of explanation within the thread will be needed, so I think we'll put links in every section of the thread that go to the appropriate sections of the database. |
9-20-2003
A short skinning tutorial has been added to the FAQ. No major updates are planned for this site until the next editor patch comes out. Of course the FAQ still needs to be accurate, so if you find something wrong let me know. |
8-10-03
The FAQ section has been completely revamped and now uses a searchable
database. It is now up to date with the version of the FAQ on the forums.
Look for more changes to the navigation of this section in the next couple
of weeks. |
8-1-03
Elil has a new demonstration map for the Frozen Throne showing how to make
a single-target ability into an area of effect ability. Download Elil's
Area of Effect Demo v. 003 here.
Look for the FAQ on this site to be updated within the next few days. |
7-8-03
Elil has posted a new demonstration map for the Frozen Throne showing how to
create a leaderboard. Download
Elil's Leaderboard Demo here. |
7-3-03
Micro
Tournament has been updated by using the Frozen Throne editor to
place the new units. The old version used triggers to accomplish the
same
thing. The current Micro Tournament is version
304. This version will only work in The Frozen Throne. Version
117 is still available for those using Reign of Chaos.
Updates to the world editor have made Elil's
World Editor modification obsolete. You should delete or rename your "Units" directory
before using the new world editor. Maps created with this mod should
have no problems opening in the world
editor.
Also, a public service announcement: delete any custom world editor
mods you had installed prior to installing RoC 1.10 or TFT. They will
no longer work correctly, and may stop your world editor from opening
at all.

Elil has updated his Micro
Tournament map with new arenas and a fairer bye system. The new version,
Elil's Micro Tournament v. 266, replaces all previous 2x versions. |

Your humble webmaster has been very busy today.
Elil's Vale of Dreams v.
391 is now up on the Playable Maps page.
This is the distribution version of the map, and is the last update Elil
will make to the map (until further notice). A new links page
has been added and is accessible from the navigation bars at the top and
left sides of all pages. Also, a new Screenshots section
has been added to the sidebar and screenshots pages, called Vale
of Dreams, which features all new screenshots from the latest versions
of Vale of Dreams. |
4-21-03
Elil's Vale of Dreams
v. 365 has replaced Elil's Vale of Legends. A new storyline has
been worked into the game and custom skills have been added. This version
only works with the original Warcraft 3, and not with the Beta Expansion.
Also, Elil's Micro
Tournament v. 239 has replaced the old version 2x. |
4-9-03
Elil's Micro Tournament
v. 232 has replaced the old version 2x. This is a map which is
balanced for the Beta version of the Warcraft III Expansion but will
also work on the original Warcraft III, but not be as balanced. It
is also on the Playable Maps page.
Also, the Screenshots page has been
expanded to Classic Warcraft and Beta
Expansion sections. Yesterday there was a problem with viewing
the image pages in Netscape, but it should be fixed now. Let us know
if there are any other browser problems (some don't support CSS quite
as well as others).
