Author: Bill Wright: War2Combat Map Editor v1.02, 3.60 MB: War2 map editor.
The editor is a 16-bit application and thus is not likely compatible with modern Windows versions. PUD Browser has been developed to fill a gap left by the Warcraft II editors by displaying PUD maps at approximately full screen size so they can be used as a tactical guide for multi-player game play and quickly browsed for evaluation. Here's a sample screenie from a scenario I picked at random (traitors.zip): Several more are mentioned on this page but sadly the downloads were not preserved by the Wayback Machine. A few more can be found here (alongside duplicates from the first page repacked in ARJ), and yet four more scenarios by Kenny Chong. This is the largest collection I've found so far. By digging the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, I was able to find a webpage from the late 90s which contains some 38 intact downloads: Melle's Warcraft page However now these levels are very hard to find. Some were even published on several PC Gamer coverdisks alongside Doom WADs and other user-created content. There were quite a few levels created with this tool, albeit not as many as Warcraft II PUDs. These would be loaded a simple saved game files and distributed as such. While Blizzard never released any development tools for Warcraft besides the unit stats editor, a certain BJ Pollard reverse-engineered the map format and in 1995 wrote and made public an editor that allowed to create user maps for the game. Now that the first Warcraft is sold again, I took a little interest in the user-made content created for the game.
