Age of Warcraft Mod Installer

[Ravager16829]

Hello guys, I'm running into a little bit of a frustrating issue here. I've taken screenshots of the game files in order for you to check that everything is going well and in place. I'm trying to install the new Age of Warcraft, but it's not installing for a reason. I've followed all the steps, and I've taken screenshots to make sure everything is okay. I actually had the previous version installed normally, but I deleted it to install the new one, but it's not getting installed. Please help me solve the issue and tell me any useful ideas.
So my Warcraft file is in the fdiskv folder, and as you can see in the screenshots, I have all of the folders installed in the Warcraft folder. I took the helper folder from the 0.2.0 part 2 and pasted it inside of the helper of part one. I took a screenshot after the paste.

When I browse and click the Warcraft 3 folder in the F and click Accept and Install, it prompts the message in the screenshot saying, "Are you sure you want to cancel a job for craft installation?" When I press No, it takes me to the same page of installation. When I say Yes, it tells me to finish. AND THE LOOP KEEPS REPEATING. thank you

my warcraft reforged version is above 2.0.....

Look at the 1st screeenshot. You put your installer folder inside your game root. And there's game files for CSW and Quenching.

I would advise not installing this mod along with the other mods (like CSW and Quenching) as that can conflict with game logic, especially AI script.

if i deleted the CSW, it will get installed?

also, is there a way to keep both mods? the old AOW was working perfect with CSW installed

From my observation, Re-Reforged isn't compatible with the other mods that overwrite game data in the "retail" folder.

For Quenching and VisionMod, you have to install both since some VisionMod game data will affect the Quenching ones.

If you want to disable the mod, you can just simply set "Allow Local Files" registry to 0. That might corrupt the game, though. I highly suggest remove the mod completely and use the "Scan & Repair" feature in Battle.net.

Hey G, I think that's so technical for me. To be honest, I just can't remember how I installed the older version of AGE OF WarCraft. It was installed perfectly, and it was working with the Chronicles of Second War extension or mod, so I just wanted to do the same for this new WarCraft update.

Apart from that, in my screenshots, were there any missing or wrong steps I made during the installation?

Should I try downloading part 1 alone and part 2 alone? Will that matter in any of the steps, or should I re-download the main folder again, the one with both parts together?

No idea about your question. I haven't played Reforged just yet. Maybe Darious or Deme3s can help.

 

[hondawy]

thanks Ravager. I appreciate it.

@Darious @Deme3s hey Gees, any ideas what is wrong here and how can i play the new AOW expansion? screenshots available

Hey there. The only time we have seen a similar problem was when some of the files became corrupted during extraction.

I think that if you extract the files again anywhere on your computer and run the installer once more, it should work fine. You do not need to place the installer inside the Warcraft III folder.

Also, if you want to extract the installer into the same location as before, make sure to delete the previously extracted files first.

Our mod does not conflict with other people’s work, and that is unrelated to this issue. The problem is that the installer is not working properly for him.

 

[hondawy]

thanks alot @Deme3s , will extract in different place

Then try to download it again. It’s possible that the ZIP file got corrupted while being downloaded through your browser, and we have seen this happen before.

 

[hondawy]

WILL download it again, should i download the whole installer or each part separate?

Download the full package again. Normally this should not happen and your antivirus should warn you beforehand, although we have encountered issues in the past with AVG. Some antivirus software identifies the installer’s publisher as unknown and blocks it because of that.
We do not encounter this problem with Windows Defender. You can also scan the files after extracting them if you want additional confirmation that everything is fine.

 

[hondawy]

@Deme3s
done everything from scratch, same results after clicking accept, i deleted CSW and reinstalled it it worked perfectly , so i can check that everything is good. i had the old AOW working perfect but i deleted it to install this one, even after deleting , its saved files work but ofcourse with no units or textures appearing since i deleted it, is there any different thing that needs to be done like the old installation? is there any differences between the old launcher and new launcher installation ways?

wether yes or no, thanks for your help so much G

You do not need to delete CSW or anything else. Again, our installer does not conflict with other people’s work. The installer is the same; the only difference is that it includes the most recent assets.
The issue seems to be that the antivirus is blocking the installer. You allowed it to run, good, but you work on windows 11, so try restarting your PC first. If the problem persists, join our Discord server so we can assist you more directly there.

Hi, I installed the mod, but no custom models or anything show up. Did I do something wrong?

You literally messed something during the installation process, specifically the AV stuff. I could be wrong.

Hello, have you played with the maps that are in AoW folder?

 

[sancmair]

I may be wrong, but it seems as if you did not fix anything regarding balance and the Lich King. That would be a shame. I will test later and confirm if yes or no. I had suggested some sort of nerfing, not adding building to summon the kill-all machine he was last patch... At any rate, I'd like to suggest a few more things:

Please make sure the Ranger Captain's summoned Dragonhawk can attack at level two; I've found it can attack at lvl 1, then not at lvl 2, and then again at lvl 3. Regardless of it being the Blood or High Elf version.

2, from old patches, there's this issue where the 2nd summoned hero appears BEFORE the 1st summoned and trained one. This is too different from the regular unmodded game, is cumbersome, bothersome and an issue to play like this, especially in high stakes, quick reflexes situations.

3, the Faction Leaders should have a button of their own! And please make them appear before all else on the command cards, but, if possible, provide them with a single central button to select and such, to cast spells on and so on and so forth. Like the ones regular heroes have, but bigger and more central, like that special ability in WoW, that appears at the mere centre of the screen, but a bit lowered. That would kick a*s! Thank you and Light bless you.

Yes, I was aware of that. I only played night elves vs. undead, in a 1v1 match, at the time though. I assumed initially, that it was because I was on one of sancmair's maps, but I did a booty bay match after that one and still couldn't see Tyrande. But I can see her, and other leaders now.

Your first thought was the right one. The maps I posted here are outdated. They use the previous version of the mod, 0.1.1 I believe, not the current one with Theramore, the Amani and the faction leaders. Thank you a lot for testing, if possible please tell me the FPS, Frames Per Second you ran it at. I think I put too many doodads in them and they don't run too well. I'll keep that in mind for the Eversong Woods version of that north-facing bay. Cheers and blessings.

Hello,

Lich King will not be nurfed, we added a ritual that costs 500 gold and 300 wood and you need also 70 seconds to complete it. Then you need 1800 gold and 500 wood and also another 70 seconds to summon Lich King and all that at lvl 3 base. So I think now it is pretty balanced, as all the players can make more troops and their Leader before someone can summon Lich King. Lich King is meant to be a powerful end boss.

Thanks for the feedback about dragonhawks I will correct them in the next patch of the mod.

2, from old patches, there's this issue where the 2nd summoned hero appears BEFORE the 1st summoned and trained one. This is too different from the regular unmodded game, is cumbersome, bothersome and an issue to play like this, especially in high stakes, quick reflexes situations.

Here I dont really get what are you saying. You mean that they revive the second hero before the first one?

3, the Faction Leaders should have a button of their own! And please make them appear before all else on the command cards, but, if possible, provide them with a single central button to select and such, to cast spells on and so on and so forth.

Thank you and Light bless you.

As for the leaders we will bring them in the front of the que, but it is difficult to have a separated icon to click them. They also have a large symbol in the minimap, so i don't think it is easy to loose them.

 

[sancmair]

Not easy to loose them on the field of battle, but not easy to click on them either, or to buff them or heal them with Holy Light for instance, if needed, which is actually possible with all other heroes when pointing at their portrait on the upper left, as you know.

No, not about revival times or the order it is done in. I mean, on the selection cards at the bottom of the screen, where selection groups are displayed and such, the Faction Leader should be placed before all else. But for some, it is the last selected unit in fact which may not be as bad because of shift-tab, or even worse, the previous to last or else. They don't appear to have a particular prio order, which makes it hard to manage them, unless you ctrl-2-3-and-4 all unit groups and put them in ctrl-1 exclusively or any other such trick.

Great to be able to help about dragonhawks.

About the Lich King, when you say players can recruit more (TONS MORE!) unit, you mean units to be slaughtered by the LK... He is simply too much, 1 or 2 of his abilities can wipe out entire armies, and he has not even started taking any damage... About other faction leaders, they will have any backup killed very fast, and will not withstand much time against him, maybe 30 secs until all their abilities are spent and their HP is dropped down to zero. So, yes I understand completely he's meant to be a "powerful end boss", but too much is too much, this is an RTS, not the MMO... what happens in a 1v1? There's simply no hope against him, I bet you know that in fact... Not criticizing just because here, FYI, just meaning to give you useful info and feedback. As it stands, a 1v1 vUD is IMPOSSIBLE. ALL WILL DIE AND BOW TO THE KING, as he says. So no, not balanced, you need 10-20 players to beat him in the MMO, here it is potentially just 1!

Edit: I got the two issues mixed up. Apologies. What I mean is: You start a match with the High Elves for instance. You train a Swordmaster hero. You train archers and footmen. You advance to age two and train an Archmage. When selected, the SM should be at slot 1, the AM at slot 2. As is usual with the game. But no, for some reason the AM goes to slot 1 in front of all other units. So on and so forth. That is the nuance I was referring to. TY.

Edit 2: In first Edit, I meant in the selection cards. 2nd hero is placed BEFORE 1st hero, which should not be.

 

[sancmair]

Sorry for double posting. About Faction Leaders, I feel like they should be the center of gameplay at late-game stage. So, to give them any sort of button would be great, but an actual big central button would be better. Could be right below day/night indicator. Could be greyed out when not present, and active and colourful and even shining when she or he, is. That's just me.

One tiny bit about hippogryphs and mana wyrms: I feel (also) that their shape without the actual seats research done but still displaying them is inaccurate. If it has not been researched, they should not be visible. If they are merely air support. Otherwise, when researched, the current model looks fine. Or, if there was no need to actually research it, then the seats would make sense as default.

 

[sancmair]

Hello again, everyone. I worked on this map thru the week, it is the Ashenvale version of Terenas' Stand... I called it Cenarius' Stand. Enjoy.

Please post the FPS you obtained while playing, I think it is consistently high.

Hey Sancmair, this is the installer page for the mod, where we mainly help people with installation problems.

It would be better to post something like a map you made either here: Warcraft 3 Custom Maps (multiplayer, campaigns, etc.) or, if you think that would be awkward because of the dependency on the mod, then in our Discord server.

Here, most likely only a handful of people will see your post, and they are probably here because they are having trouble with the installer. So chances are they will not pay much attention to it.

[sancmair]

Hello again... any idea why (top left)? It was all fine while QM was active and settings were at the highest in-game, now that I lowered them and deactivated Quenching Mod, bam, most icons are green-screen style.

That mod completely deletes the ReplaceableTextures folder inside the retail directory when it is uninstalled. As a result, whenever you uninstall that mod, you have to reinstall any other campaigns or mods that you want to keep using.

0.2.2 looks awesome! Thank you guys...

One brief Q though, I am having issues when trying to load a saved game that is using the mod, is it the same for everyone, or just me?

I'm afraid I've had that happen to me too. As soon as the bar fills and I hit a key to continue, the game crashes with an "unexpected error."

Don't worry, we will fix it in the next update but just so that you know, here we report errors for the installer and so on. To report a problem for this patch you must head to our project page and write it in the appropriate patch page.
