P.S. I heard it somewhere that porting Blizzard games content (Warcraft III, etc.) to other companies' games are illegal and Blizzard would be angry. Is it true?

By Directive255 I was given by God, I can answer you on that.
I can show you some modding basis, but you will need certain programs. Game is old, it is modded by INI editing, in notepad or wordpad. XCC mixer is used to extract those files and to open mix files, file types which is used by RA2 and Tiberium Sun which shares same game engine.

Yes, I know. I even modded some maps with Final Alert 2 INI editor, I got a bit experience with INI modding but still the code is quite messy and confusing... I can only do basic modifications as of now.
XCC programs I have, some voxel editors and SHP editors too, but it feels a bit... incomplete

MasterHaosis
How do you mean incomplete?
Cherrymage
Oh, I was confused at the time. I mean, I don't know how to make a voxel or SHP
oh, by incomplete I mean, sometimes these tools have limitations

MasterHaosis
Like what for example? Which limitations do they have that prevent you from making something? Sure that they are not perfect but its dsigned for games up to 2000.

I don't remember actually, maybe it's just game interface. I once tried modding while I was very young and don't understand everything. Ah, i see now.
-- Ares is released much later than XCC!
Back to the topic - how to make voxels and SHPs?

MasterHaosis
To make them you first need to understand about those file types, about how they work.
Voxel can be drawn with pencil just like in paint, in that Voxel editor. Then you need to do auto normals always if you add anything, because it has normals, kinda like reflection, shining whatever it is, because it will look weird and dark.

SHP is used for infantry, buildings, most projectiles, terrain object such as trees, overlay, rocks, etc etc...
They have each palette to work.
You must understand that first before you even try just like that to make something

I konw those file types - .vxl and .shp right?
Wait... I thought voxels are made in a 3D editor like Warcraft models? By pencil you mean manual drawing or software drawing? Is it a drawing where you need to scan it?
And by "palette" you mean color palette or animations?

MasterHaosis
Its 3D model, but for voxels. You can draw them as well because it is 3D drawing.
MasterHaosis
Palette has 256 colors or something like that, which means that its reduced color pedth, but still enough to make something good and quality.
