Old Post

(name pending)

I've paused development on this map until patch 1.33 comes around. I think it will give us a good indication on where the games headed or if it's going to be put on life support by Blizzard. I decided I should show my progress in the meantime in case someone can draw inspiration from it. I also think many people don't realize what is actually possible now. I feel Reforged was not ready for release but the new modding features are actually amazing.

The entire map was coded in TypeScript, but much of the functionality is possible in JASS as well.

This is more of a showcase of the maps systems. I will divulge more info about the gameplay when the time (hopefully) comes.

Chat System

Recipe System

Casting Time System

Mount System

Spellbook & Actionbar System

Random Screenshots

Also, here is a a pretty old video showcasing some of the systems.

This looks really impressive.

Well I'll be damned - this looks good. Clearly join date 2007-users are the most advanced modders these days.

Woa! Very nice terrain and impressive systems (I would like to know how to program like this)! I want to see more things, i rly liked!

Some updates after a long break from working on the map (7+ months).

New action bar and some random gameplay: Warcraft III Reforged 2020.12.04 - 18.35.34.07

Synchronized items with the action bar:

This project looks amazing, it looks more like WoW then Warcraft. Great job

I had a question about the equipment system, did you make the models yourself? They seem to fit so perfectly. I have been making items that come with attachments in my own project and I have been looking through the hive for models.

I managed to fix all of the desyncs in the map which gave me some motivation to continue working on this. Here's an update video of some of the gameplay systems. The map is almost in a state where an alpha version can be released.

Systems showed in the video:

• Completely custom user interface
• Codeless save and load
• Inventory and Equipment
• Vendors
• NPCs and Quests
• Combat with different weapon types
• Mounting system
• Custom chat system with icons and the ability to link items
• Skillbar with the ability to link items and skills to the bar
• The ability to enter houses without teleporting the hero somewhere else (hiding the roof)
• Recipe system

A reminder that this is a multiplayer map which adds an extra layer of complexity to these systems.

Here's a scuffed version of hero previews in the equipment window. Due to limitations in the API, I'm not sure if I will use it but it's cool nonetheless.

New spellbook and right click context menu.

This looks dope. Can't wait to try it.

Added a drag and drop system for the inventory.

That's cool! May I ask how you make the frames follow the mouse cursor? Last I checked you can't track mouse cursor on-screen coordinates. Did you make a lot of small invisible frames to manually track the mouse cursor?

 

[TriggerHappy]

I use some tricks with the item button origin frames. Essentially, I move the frame behind whatever item is being hovered over. I'm not filling the screen up with frames or anything like that.
