Alpha/Beta Models

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
Some models from the alpha and beta version of Warcraft III
All credits go to Blizzard Entertainment

I think that these models are quite useful and haven't seen them uploaded here.
One problem is that some of them do not have working portraits, so it would be great if someone could make them. That person will become a co-author of this resource of course.

From here you can have access to these alpha and beta files, which contain more things than models --> Warcraft 3 Beta Models and More

Huge thanks to @Chaosium for creating a portrait for the beta footman model

Models:

  • Tauren Minotaur
  • Footman
  • Troll Headhunter
  • Orc Barracks
  • Orc Well
  • Ruins Head

BetaFootman has an error that will show only black-green cube in-game.
Beta models can be also found in this thread

Interesting. Troll headhunter was supposed to be hero?

Beta Footman model works perfectly for me. All the models I uploaded here worked perfectly for me, in editor + in game (patch 1.29.2).
Hard to say for the troll headhunter, but definitely looks more jungle-ish

Also thanks for the link, it contains the models I uploaded it seems but I think that this is way more accessible to people, giving them an easier and more user-friendly way to get some of these models.

I was gonna say, I'm sure this has been uploaded before 🤔... But having it here rather than a Thread makes sense.

Raypack, how do you feel about adding a link to that Thread to your description?
Done.

Also I will make a request in the request forums soon for someone to make (willingly) working portraits for some of the units.
For example the Beta Footman has a broken portrait. The Orc Barracks seems to have a working portrait though.

if i remember right the footies had a horned helm right? there is also a unique steam tank model from the beta that you might find interesting it has the steam tank with a crushing ball instead of a big cannon.

(and oh now you finally see how the drink animation for the footman was supposed to look like with the helm looking like this instead of the bucket helm they got in the release)

The steam tank model you're talking about is already here on the website. At least I think it's the beta model?
Here is the link ---> Siege Engine, Steam Tank, and Derivatives
