Does Warcraft 2.3 still exist?

[Gasekura]

I started working on a Warcraft II conversion just for the heck of it, being unable to find any other current ones available on the internet, but after some search trying to accomplish a similar combat system, I found out that Boddozerg had created a finished map back in '03...then fell off the face of the internet. I can't seem to find a copy of his map anywhere. Does anyone know if there are any Warcraft 2 conversions available on the net?

I did see that Kam is working on a map/project called Tides of Darkness, but it seemed to me to be more of an update rather than a conversion. After looking into reproducing the old combat system, I've realized that this is a daunting if not impossible task, but I'm looking at making a recreation of the campaign so I'm trying to get as close as possible before starting.

I didn't find anything on those two sites. Originally I was looking specifically for Boddozerg's "Warcraft 2.3" map. Ultimately I'm looking for a Warcraft II -> Warcraft III conversion. Keyword conversion, not an update or "with new units!" map, I'm trying to find something as close to the original Warcraft II as possible.

Originally I had started working on my own conversion, but realized that the combat system can't be truly reproduced in Warcraft III due to damage calculations working differently. I did some research and found that Boddozerg got really close on his own map, a map that I can't seem to find; hence this thread.

Note - I put it in the requests thread since I'm essentially requesting a map, but mainly because I didn't think it fit anywhere else.

There are warcraft 2 units on this site.

Put in WCII models or something similar on search in the model section. But just in case you can't find them here they are

Theres some more but this pretty much is it.

Instead of looking for old maps other people created so you have lot less to do and slap your name on it, try just making your own from scratch and request for models.

It's not the models I care about. It's the combat system. I'm not trying to slap my name on something I didn't make. I'm trying to recreate the Warcraft II campaign and if I can save time by using someone else's tested unit stats (I don't plan on taking credit for their work) I'd prefer to do so. That is of course assuming they're willing to let me use it.

The reason I asked about Boddozerg's Warcraft 2.3 was because he had it so unit combat in his maps mimiced Warcraft II closer than any other map I've heard of. Not to mention he has made a pack with his custom units so that others could work on their own Warcraft II maps. He dissapeared back in 2003, and the host sites he used for his map aren't accessible anymore. That was why I asked if anyone knew of it's survival.

In closing: Don't assume that because I'm new to the site I'm here to rip off other people's work.
