    [Technical Sharing] A more efficient way to manage custom campaigns

    Hi dudes, I finally purchased the War3 reforged recently because the mod community is getting bigger. Being a player myself when I was a kid, it's disappointed to witness what Blizzard has done to the game. After I started to install many of the old custom campaigns, I found it was complicated...

    Best way to modify .SLK files in .MPQ files (pre-1.29)

    I remember on 1.31 you could use Local Files to modify the game without changing the CASC files themselves, so I thought I'd try getting similar things working on 1.26 and 1.28.5. I tried changing some numbers in UnitBalance.slk (using LibreOffice Calc, choosing "keep existing format" when it...

    Tool Idea - Warsmash Modding Engine

    I'm working on trying to create a tool idea that is taking me a long time to make, and I am only a hobbyist so there are times when progress for me is very slow.

    Do you keep your modding hobby a secret?

    The title says it all. It can be Warcraft 3 or other modding hobbies of yours. For me, yes, only my brother knows to what extent I am in modding. I find it difficult to explain it even with my close friends since they are not fond of the game anyway. And honestly, it is not something you can...

    SC1 Modding: Crash when SCV carries ore chunk

    Hi all! I modded the SCV's sprite in SC1. It works well, UNTIL it picks up minerals and then moves. That causes a crash. VIDEO: Flughoernchen I suspect it has something to do with shadow-GRPs that run parallel to the SCV GRP. As soon as the SCV sprite reaches frameset 0x33 during its walk...
