Warcraft III Community Map Archive

This public dataset preserves community-created Warcraft III maps and campaigns for interoperability testing, search, research, and long-term access. Files are deduplicated by SHA-256. Titles and other metadata are extracted with war3-manager where the format permits.

• Search and download individual maps: https://war3-archive.github.io/war3-maps/
• Source and issue tracker: https://github.com/war3-archive/war3-maps

Layout

• objects/<sha256-prefix>/<sha256>.<ext>: immutable map or campaign objects
• covers/<sha256-prefix>/<sha256>.webp: minimap / preview thumbnail, when one could be extracted; the same SHA-256 as the object it belongs to
• catalog/maps.json: versioned website catalog
• catalog/maps.jsonl: one record per line for downstream processing
• catalog/failures.json: inputs that could not be extracted or parsed

Catalog records point at both files by path and by resolve URL (dataset_path / download_url, cover_path / cover_url), so the catalog stays small enough to fetch directly from a browser.
