Editor tour

wc3-forge is a single window with a 3D viewport at its center and panels around it. The GUI and the MCP bridge are two views of the same editor session.

The viewport

A WebGL viewport renders terrain, cliffs, water, sky, units, doodads, and start-location markers. It uses mdx-m3-viewer for low-level MDX/BLP/DDS work; terrain, cliffs, water, and sky are drawn by wc3-forge's own shaders layered into the same scene.

• SD / HD assets — start in Classic (SD) by default, or launch with --reforged for HD.
• Camera — Claude can pin or pan the camera with camera_set_view to confirm edits visually.

Editing surfaces

• Terrain — paint tiles and raise/lower height.
• Units & doodads — select, move, rotate, scale, create, and delete placed entities.
• Object Editor — edit definitions for all 7 kinds (units, items, abilities, buffs, destructables, doodads, upgrades), both stock and custom.
• Trigger Editor — a GUI trigger tree plus a Monaco code view with WC3 IntelliSense, GUI→Lua/JASS codegen, Convert-Map-to-Lua, and Test Map.

The Agent Console

Press Ctrl+ ` to open the Agent Console. It streams every MCP bridge call in real time — the method name, parameters, duration, and result — so you can watch exactly what an agent is doing as it works.

Saving & testing

• Save in place writes back to the loaded folder or packaged .w3x / MPQ archive, losslessly.
• Test Map launches Warcraft III with the current map for older JASS maps and modern maps alike.
