    Well, I have been playing "The First Human Book" a little and found it to be quite interesting. I'll continue and share some thoughts.

    I can tell you though that I usually don't like melee style maps a lot, but I played the three first maps and still had a pretty good time. The terrain could use some work though.

    Right. I also remember that I exploited a bug in first chapter (I think... It was the one where you meet the guardian of the flame). There was a gate to the south west of the base expansion, leading though a forest track. I catapulted down the trees around it and walked past, making the story line all messed up... :D

    Yeah, Falstad used to turn into a hammer when hurling himself, which was pretty fun to look at. Had to change the spell. And of course the sub-map loading was broken for a long time... Although it never really worked in the first place. There was always a weird issue when loading a map. Only recently I fixed a couple of things and I hope/think it got fixed.

    More than updating the gameplay I just want to make sure 1.27 doesn't break things.
    D
    Don't make them too easy though ;)

    Oh yeah, I finally got GTA 4 to work. It's pretty good. Some say it's better then 5, but I've yet to try it.

    Btw is it true that Merkel is losing the elections?
    D
    Yeah, I noticed. Is 2.0 the latest version?
    D
    I wonder what they'll add with this patch. Probably some technical fixes or bnet stuff.

    Oh, I'm really hoping it's real now. I really want to comeback on modding like right now and do what I always wanted to do, my plans, etc.
    Sclammerz
    Oh, back on modding, huh? Wish you good luck. :)

    Anyway about that. My father said he will buy a new one as my gift on my graduation (Moving up ceremony). Which gives me the hype but still not 100% though but I'm still hoping.
    D
    Is this thing about the WCIII patch real? I'm surprised they're still kicking this dead horse ^^

    So you aren't on a hiatsu state.That's important...If you have any other stuff for me to test tell me xD
    RepoMan274

    RepoMan274

    We should just research possibilities. Maybe we will discover workaround for this.
    No, they are not planning to add this in patch most likely, they will focus on balance, as always do

    I use OBS, but i launch wc3 with edited settings, so it does not look like its windowed

    Put a shortcut onto desktop, open properties, and at the part where is the path to the file ("D:\_HRY\_HRY_nainstalovane\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe") <example
    add the word windowed - "D:\_HRY\_HRY_nainstalovane\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window
    after that, launch it via the edited shortcut, and y can drag the edges of it to match a fullscreen, but thats not all
    open your OBS, and select - add window capture, then right click it and select properties
    then launch wc3, put it as the captured window, and tick the inner window box
    that will cause the wc3 to appear fullscreen on stream, but you ll still have to play it windowed

    i used to do this, but now i dont stream wc3 - little audience, and takes alot of time
    MasterHaosis
    Hey, you jut research, even if its illegal to Blizzard, its just important that custom team color works. They wont hunt us because of this, they should include that ability and we would not waste time
    MasterHaosis
    Mechanical Man just told me in chat that you were here. I am in chat now, I will check it ocassionally
    MasterHaosis
    Yes, seems that game is either hardcoded or has some order to use specifically colors from main mpq
    MasterHaosis
    Yes, score screen is always problem.
    I know that Neutral hostile are those creeps, neutral passive is not attacking you, but never seen that neutral victims and extra are used. That is why I asked if they are used somewhere, so we can set colors to them and use them in maps, assigning to players. Currently, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are black. Remember that colors start with 00, so red is 0, not 1. Now I am not sure which colors in mpq are passive and hostile. I think that passive is 15 because I used in past grey color for passive to separate it visually. Instead of player grey I used another color
    MasterHaosis
    Yes. That bugs me for years as well.
    You can import and override textures/skins, but when it comes to team color and team glows, no effect...
    Also , are Neutral Extra and Victims used somewhere? If no, their colors can be overridden and used as bonus colors in maps. With our method of course
    MasterHaosis
    Exatly, so his method is still good but in another way, in meaning that you can have more colors if maps with limited type of units, but in case of custom campaigns like you or custom races like me, still your method is better.
    MasterHaosis
    But we started it all! Actually I did. That thread was big.
    However, yes we are closer but we need to push. its still not over, we now must export and change every single unit and import back. We must find solution how to do it without reimporting stuff and making map bigger and waste too much time.
    Damn blizzard did not let us to override colors in map by importing at their paths

    It is perfectly fine. Posting something as a tutorial is never considered stolen--even if you weren't the person to have discovered the technique.

    Ultimately, you're doing people an awesome favor by writing it up into a formal tutorial. You don't have to claim 100% that it is "your" idea, but you can say that it was your own technique (since you found it through your own tinkering!). I don't think anyone will doubt that.

    Good luck! I look forward to reading it. :)

    I got another question regarding the "invasion" chapter if you don't mind, was it supposed to have a huge airfight? like both sides using destructors and/or other flying units on eachother, also was it one of those chapters were you had to basically destroy the enemy forces surrounding an island then get onto the island, construct a base and then fight the enemies on the ground?
    DD Mikasa
    That's what I am doing right now...Hard diff. on the human first book.Already sacked the poor orcs from the first two missions
    DD Mikasa
    Add a few fat phonys in that outpost mission...And replace the big Doom lords(the ones with green eyes) with the fat phonys xD
    DD Mikasa
    That's why we don't see much of their kind around?With a few exceptions they don't seem as common
