It's going to be fun waiting for the weekend to try this.

Wow. Incredible. The hype is real for D4 and new abilities

EDIT: Noticed a bug with the bridge just west of Dun Haldran. The model for it appears to be missing. There is simply a broken bridge which is still passable

Suggestion: increase hero size with .10 scale. Now that their models look better, I think it warrants a better display .
Also, tbh I feel that the hero models are just generally a little too small.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Updated the initial post with a new version fixing the bug where backpacks did not properly carry over when using a Keystone to save your gear.

 

[sluk]

stupit we need a bypass
i dont know why blizzard cant just make the limit up to 30mb

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Updated fixing several bugs.

 

[SHBlade]

GaiasORPG_v1_2C(12).w3x, when i host they stuck in 21% , and when they download this normally i appears like i have the map in 21% ( being the host , so wtf), we tried diff host , but the problem still there , idk if is my server (rubatlenet), or its the map , so please if anyone can help.

It's not map.

To anyone wondering, moss and I banged our heads against this for a while and finally solved the issue, it was the 8mb patch at fault.

Apparently if you want to host you need to rename forcefixsizelimit to FixSizeLimit.dll. And we couldn't get anyone (even with the patch, name change or not) to download the map via client. But, we had no issues whatsoever playing with people who downloaded the map manually from here.

Now the hype for Blackfire begins!

Thank you for this information. The install instruction made by the fix' author is hardly helpful.

 

[BoxOfFaith]

Blackfire still has issues with resetting after wipes. Ihaz and I entered, died, reentered, died again, and then couldn't enter a third time.

Edit: Remade the map, tried to enter, and didn't even get to enter once in that game! In all 3 instances of seeing Blackfire break, the one thing all 3 have had in common now is Hexblade attempting to enter first xD!.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

This bug is really weird; I checked the game files and couldn't find anything related to this. If I can find a way to reproduce this solo, i could test some stuff out, but so far it only occured in multiplayer games.

 

[Ira]

will you add chains to the normal game in low/mid level?

 

[Jumbo]

I am having trouble joining the Ent bot. I tried to host myself with it but I get kicked instantly every time. I have 2 files in my directory from the patch: ForceFixSizeLimit.dll & GameDll_fix_mapsize_limit.mix.
I realise the install description says something about needing an injector, but since there is no link to one (only to one for D3 in a locked forum) I dunno... please help me, anybody

 

[BoxOfFaith]

FixSizeLimit.dll should allow you to host the map manually, you'll need the original file forcefixsizelimit without the .dll extension to join maps not hosted by yourself.

 

[Jumbo]

And where to get that file? In the zip there is no such file. Which one should be renamed: the dll or the mix one?
Horrible install instructions in the readme. If he just clearly stated which file to rename, which file to drag to wc3, then it would be easy.

 

[BoxOfFaith]

I had two files in the Zip.

GameDll_Fix_mapsize_limit.mix
Forcefixsizelimit (This is the file you need, it has no extension).

Skarm's instructions earlier in the thread had you change Forcefixfilelimit to Fixsizelimit.dll. Changing this allows you to host the map, but not join it. So I believe you'll need to go back into your original zip file, and copy over forcefixsizelimit file again, which is what allows you to join games. If its not in your zip file then you changed the file in the zip before moving it to your Warcraft3 folder, so you'll probably have to redownload the zip file for a fresh copy.

 

[Jumbo]

Thanks a lot Box. Now it works. Your instructions should be added to first post as everything else makes no sense.

 

[BoxOfFaith]

Would it technically be possible for the game to save the alternate magician class with a different named save file? It'll be difficult to tell apart which code belongs to which model. Something like the female version saving as "Magician2- (character level)". It'd also be good for not having other characters being written over for those who don't back up their save files.

Edit: It seems you forgot to level cap the new Magician's base class. Can level past 25 with freedom x].

 

[Ira]

what about a -save2 command that just adds a 2 to the files name so you can have 2 diffrent saves for the same class since there will be are multiple ways to play each class

 

[SaikoDeMoN]

Why do people feel the need to have everything in an RPG? Choose a role and stick to it, there's no collector's achievement. When everyone has everything, you're all just clones of each other, there's no sense of originality or individuality in the community.

 

[Jumbo]

Yes. Kamina is right. This is not a question of convenience, but of the player making a choice.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I also don't really understand the point of having both the male and the female mage. It's just optical flavor, after all. ^^

 

[aruruuruuu]

cant play this map, i dunno why but another map with 8mb above is working always force close after loading or after select hero

 

[Ira]

you need the filesize bypass and you need to put your graphics settings to max for the map to function properly

 

[MiroBG]

You dont rly need tha tIra You just need a more up to date bypass...Like that in discord so aruru I would suggest reinstall your w3 and come to discord and get the bypass thats pinned there .You will have no probs with it

Hello, I am writing through an interpreter as usual ... On the 15 th version of the Monk profession is not available during the transition to the cleric, Bishop is taken without any problems, and Monk of any female character, male or not taken, right sorry even time to pump up x2 25th

I experienced the same thing as well. I got my Cleric to level 25 and finished the Gaias Retaliation Part 1 quest, but when I want to perform a class change to monk, it said that I do not meet the requirement. I can change to Bishop though.

Ah so this was what this meant. I had trouble understanding what he was trying to say.
