      Hello, I saw that you managed to make a good custom interface, and I just have a question about the 3D portrait. I managed to get it out after hiding all Origin Frames, but I do not know how to move it. The tutorial from Tasyen says that the portrait uses a different coordinate system, but what exactly is not written. So I would be very grateful if you could tell me what lines of code I need to write to move this 3D portrait to the point I need.

        In the case of my map, i set the portrait frame using ConsoleUI as a reference :
        SetPoint(Portrait, BOTTOMLEFT, ConsoleUI, BOTTOM, -0.060, 0.000)
        SetPoint(Portrait, TOPRIGHT, ConsoleUI, BOTTOM, 0.060, 0.100)

        Don't worry about the constants and natives name changes, I use my own wrappers in the map, but I suppose it is very understandable.
        If you use absolute coordinates though, the portrait frame indeed has a different origin.
        But fact is using relative positioning for the portrait allows you to not have to handle this specificity.
        Also note that the frame requires 2 reference point set to be positioned properly, and it should scale to these points without altering the frame's aspect ratio.

      Heyo, just read that you were one of the ol' Wc3C veterans! I too hail from those hallowed halls (all mourn!).

      What was your user-name there?

        Yes it was, I stopped for 16 years, and it feels great to be back :)
        Happy to find a new home here as wc3c became much less active.
        Happy to see I'm not the only one still around ^^

        In current version of tools section there's a hardcoded check wich fails for current patch version, as it got updated. (but format didn't change actually) So tool thinks it's not compatible
        In the one I sent via PM there's no such check, and it worked for me

      Hey man, you posted somewhere about a program to reduce memory/RAM stacking. I don't think I saved the link or program. Mind telling me about it please?

        Well I suppose like every program with a free and pro version of the gui, it just checks for the serial validity..
        Although I hadn't checked, as I quite trust the author.
        Moreover, I went through all his detailed explanations about how the program works in comparison of so-called "memory optimizers", and it all made sense.
        Anyways I wouldn't worry too much, this little software has been useful to me for years without a single issue, I even ended up buying the license for the monitor even if I didn't need it.
        I am yet to find anything wrong about this, if you ever do find something though, please let me know.
        EDIT : you can use it offline without issues, I tried it on many occasions. Remember the program itself is freeware. Only the gui is concerned with serial number.

    I used to be a very active Warcraft 3 map maker back in 2002-2004, under the pseudonym "ChrydGod", and mostly in the wc3campaigns forums (it seems it recently went down, by the way).

    With the release of the rRforged edition, and in spite of all the current bugs, I felt like I wanted to go back to my old hobby.

    I am quite old school, so I am trying to get to know the new ways and tools, slowly trying to catch up a bit. This said, I still remember Jass2, SLK editing and other things.

    I went back to my old unfinished map that was called Cube Defense Balls Edition, it was an attempt to implement quite a lot of uncommon things in a map back in the days (including blocking towers that you could build in a line with a special ability, with dynamic walls linking them / scrolling text on the ground / etc...), and am currently working on an update that will be called aMazing Balls TD.
