By typing HerrDave #4835 :)

Did I get it, did you get a friend request? :)

Just got out of bed, checking Discord now

I have figured it out, but not in a satisfying way

- Create a folder called "UI" (no quotations) in C > Program Files (x86) > Warcraft III

- Paste the modified MiscData.txt in that folder

For some reason, when I got the Wc3 update, it didn't work.
When I took it out and put it back in, it did.

I think the WC3 updates scratch out the custom line in the Regedit that allows WC3 to read 3rd party code

Hey, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a bunch for that!

I wholehearted concur good sir. Heil HerrDave !
Are you able to bring any icons back?

Joining the line - Happy B-day, man! May all of the modeler's patrons be with you during your work - at any time! :)

Lately I've reworked all of the Rohan units (improved texture, better hair, and pauldrons on Theoden)

I've been avoiding working on the Gondorian Knight because-- it's a boring model that makes me sad xD

Mostly I've been waiting around for Blizzard to fix the World Editor, or at least re-break it so I can use my sharp cliffs again - been using that time playing GTA V: Online, LotrO, and Medieval II: Total War

I /want/ to work on the Haradrim, but I need to crack out some concept art for the culture and armour first - also I need to decide if I'm going to use custom textures for their faces (given that there are like-- no black people in Warcraft by default x_x) or if I'm going to use the Bandit's face, like the existing Haradrim models here

I think I've seen at least one in-game texture that looks somewhat black? Or at least darker than most other faces in W3, and I believe it's the campaign screen human footman, though I'm not sure if it really looks good. I think there was one model that used that face on a warrior with an open helmet, don't remember how was it called nor how it really looked like.

@HerrDave - Have you ever come up to the idea of using multiple or single skin from the skin repository? I am really super sure that there a plenty of faces and armor textures you can use there. Well if omniskin isn't in the table anymore, maybe this... combo skins or multi-skins can help you.

The culture of Haradrims are like Medieval Middle East with bandity themes. I even saw your list of planned haradrims somewhere deep in one of your profile comments.

I'm interested in making more Chaos Knights, that's for sure - but when it comes to lighter armoured or even bestial monsters (Barbarians/Beastmen), that's where my skill dries up

I'll be making Chaos Knights, Archaon, possibly Throgg, and I'll be rounding off the Empire with some basic swordsmen

I tried my hand at the greenskins, but I can't make them look right ;_;

It's beautiful to have throggs in your mind. :)

By Fantasy you mean something like the Fountain Guard? Either way, thanks for the heads up!

@HerrDave - That is more than good news yay :)

Finally good news to my ears!!

Thank you, God bless :)

Phew, I was getting worried there...

Great news! Thanks for your patience and resilience! I also feel Hive staff deserves some credit. I don't know the details but everyone that contributed to the final solution - thank you too! :)

Very good news, I was really worried that you were going to leave, man.

I've been talking directly with Ralle on Discord over the last two days

Due to timezone differences, I only get about 30 minutes to talk to him before he has to sleep, or I do

Solutions are being discussed, and according to him I do not have as many enemies in the Staff as I think I do

(Still don't know who is with/against me)

The good news - it's being talked about.
The bad news - I'm not part of the full conversation.

Glad they are in the talks and I will be gladder if they make a rightful and fair, decision. Well you are talking to the owner, I do hope things will get well since you two are having good conversaton bout this.

Well, who the hell would want an enemy with a good modeller anyway? I presume they could be just trolls or miserable people who love to bash and criticize rather than make models to supply the hive.

Yeah, like drones, who do nothing in the hive but buzz buzz buzz 'against' others. Well, people like me, will have no reason to be an enemy to people like you, Gluma, and some great modellers out here. People should love their suppliers on hive and keep them warm. :)

@Battleborn stop this destructive paranoia against our staff. This has not happened before and it's all in the site's interest we solve it as legal as possible. We've not been approving ripped content for a long period of times except as resources in maps. It's much easier to take down maps if the site gets complaints from original authors than whole resources threads from various authors.
For rips, or in this case, partial rips, there are other means of uploading which can be done here on the site, mind you.

“Attacking the work”... What are you talking about? As if the staff are deliberately looking for legal reasons to “attack” members of the site. What kind of people do you think we are? You my friend have a misguided view on how you perceive things. Quite a misconception indeed.

Herrdave was not attacked. There were some paranoid events that trigger some unnamed admins to enforce rules and thought that hive will be destroyed by bigger companies like Activision and Sierra. Anyways, if Herrdave does not monetize and wants stuff for fun only, I don't think there must be a problem or resource locking event should happen.
