Hi there, may I come in?

Hellooo nurse! Uhh.. I mean, Hive Workshop!
I stumbled upon this site by actually reading the Loading screen text on my favorite Warcraft 3 custom game: Tribe Wars. A few buds and I have played it quite often and I got the idea to make a Tribewars-esque map of my own, With a different story, races and almost everything else, but I wanted it to have that same AoS/RPG/arena feel that Tribe Wars has... The only issue is that I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to triggers, adding weapons to attatchment points, things like that. In terms of modding... I have only dabbled. It's fun to mod, but I have never really created anything of use, just a few "For Fun." mods. I am proud of the mods to an extent but they are sloppy compared to the jaw-dropping quality of most of the models and skins on this site.

I have been playing WC3 since it came out and played WC2 before that as a deranged little kid that liked to rampage through human towns with masses of grunts. I used to play WoW pretty actively, and recognize a few models and skins used in some WC3 games as units from WoW, I am interested in learning how to do that, since knowing how to do that would help me in my venture to make a NE vs. Tauren game. I have been reading alot of the tutorials but I have yet to test anything out.

Again, Hello Hive! Also.... Teach me, I suck!
(I apologize for the rant-style essay.)

Ah, well welcome to the site, if you need help learning you can always check out the tutorials if you haven't already, and if you still need help there are couple of forums here that discuss modding which you can post questions on, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Welcome - but your not allowed to use models from WoW (at least here you aren't).
-Being that these models were ripped from their original game without consent of the author it is considered unlawful. On the other hand, to find some unique models you can browse the many models created by modellers here.

If you have a question about triggering, people will be happy to help, just either post it in the editor help section of ask someone in chat.

Good luck with your map and have fun with your stay here

Ah... Well, I hadn't realized they were ripped I thought someone was just really amazing at making them. Tribewars, for example uses a black fel orc concept model and an Amani Troll model, I was just thinking they were very masterfully created.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well that depends, some people do make models like that. I haven't played the map so I haven't seen them, but if a model looks exactly like a WoW model then it's most likely ripped.

If you want to make a map like Tribe Wars, ask the creator (Sebianbeast).
If you need help, just ask!

And finally, we hope you enjoy your stay on the Hive!
