Overview

War3map is a module to convert between a Object representation of WarCraft III (.w3x) data and war3map format files.

Here's some places where you can use this library:

• You need to decompile a map of Warcraft 3.
• You want to write a map editor for Warcraft 3.
• You want to optimize or encrypt your Warcraft 3 map.

Acknowledgements

• This project refers a lot from WC3MapTranslator written by ChiefOfGxBxL. Our goal is same but offers different API, and plan more features.

• We owe a lot of thanks to Chocobo on TheHelper for the detailed documentation of the files found in a .w3x archive. And another two tutorials are here (1) and here (2) and here (3).
