Features
  • Custom Combat System, which includes a lot of custom combat parameters like spell power, healing bonus, block amount etc. and various damage types as well as creep aggro system. This allows to introduce WOW-like hero roles: Tanker, Healer, Damage Dealer and Mage. Heroes in-combat have different mana and health regeneration, can use only a certain number of potions and elixirs.
  • Simple Item Upgrade System, which at the same time gives variety of leveling. Each item (weapon or armor) has 4 ways (=glyphs) to upgrade, which add unique abilities to them. No recipes, just buy a sword or axe for your damage dealer or staff for a mage or a healer and choose the glyph, which gives an appropriate ability.
  • Unique heroes with custom abilities and talents, which make possible different leveling styles and synergy with each other
  • Meat, but hardcore gameplay, which dynamically varies from 5 difficulty levels, number of players and party setup.
  • Single player regime with single or multi-heroes mode.

Basic Hero Stats:
  • Critical Strike: chance to deal critical physical damage on hit.
  • Critical Power: the ammount of critical physical damage (crit multiplier).
  • Block Chance: chance to block a physical attack, reducing incoming damage.
  • Block Amount: the ammount of physical damage to block
  • Spell Power, Spell Crit: improves spell damage or healing and gives a chance to spell crit/heal crit respectively.
  • Healing Bonus: a bonus percent of healing to all healing effects done by the hero.
  • Haste: a chance to deal next attack immediately. Hasted attacks cannot be hasted again. Has a twice lower effect on ranged heroes.

Some Combat Mechanics:
  • Creep Aggro System: every hero increases the threat value when dealing damage to the target enemy. The ammount of threat generated by one point of damage depends on the hero class, ability used and can be affected by some abilities and items. Every creep attacks the target with the highest threat value. Type "-sa" to see the threat values (in percentages) of allied heroes on the enemy creep.
  • Combat/Out of combat system: every hero enters a combat when deals any damage to enemies, receives damage from enemies or heals (or gets healed by) an allied target in combat. Combat affects the ammount of healing and mana potions (to 3) and elixirs (to 1), which can be used during one combat. To leave the combat hero must not receive or deal any damage/healing for a certain ammount of time, which depends on the difficulty level. While in combat the regeneration of mana depends on the hero spirit. Outside combat the hero regenerates 10% of health and mana per 5 seconds. Heroes with Rage as energy restores it only by dealing damage in combat and slowly loses it they arewhile out of combat.

General:
+Expertise stat is reworked. Now it gives:
1) On dealed critical physical damage from attacks: a 30% chance to reduce the enemy target armor value for 4 seconds by 0.2 for each Expertise point.

  • Why are WoW models not allowed?
    The Hive Workshop does not condone, nor will it support, the use of World of Warcraft models because:
  • Models included in World of Warcraft are the exclusive property of Blizzard Entertainment.
  • Blizzard has never released the World of Warcraft models for public use.
  • Consumers are therefore required to purchase World of Warcraft and maintain valid game accounts in order to use those models.

I have purchased all addons of World of Warcraft.

You actually use WoW imports? Because that's forbidden. Doesn't matter whether you've got WoW or not, I don't know who wrote the original rules, but that's obvious rubbish.
I pointed it out a very long time ago, it came to the admins, then Dr Super Good re-posted what I said (in the hope someone would rewrite it).
And it has been rewritten, the last sentence has been removed (finally, even though I pointed this out... a year ago? If not longer).

I'll make it very clear for you: any use of models/skins/icons/music/... that does not belong to Warcraft III, or is not open-source, is forbidden. You must credit all imports that are not part of the original Warcraft III.
WoW-resources are NOT open-source. Any resource from another game is forbidden.


So Kobas, I hereby say that it is forbidden. Now you know it too ;)

(Just as a little additional note: what would make you think that buying the game gives you the right to use its resources wherever you want? How does that make any sense?)

WoW basic is free now (you can play the orignal WoW for free but with a progress cap). Blizzard already gave permission to use a lot of their WoW icons in WC3 (why a lot of WoW icons are approved in the icon section). Blizzard has also supported WC3 maps which used WoW ports in the past so I doubt they have any problem with this.

WoW and WC3 are both owned by blizzard. The legal reprocusions for them of using one resource in a different game are non existant (as they would hardly prosicute themselves). It seems they have adopted the approach of "do not care" when it comes to WoW resources in both WC3 and SC2. Although technically not perfectly legal, it still is permited as they have nothing to lose enforcing such regulations.

As far as enforcing a no WoW port rule goes, it would be impossible at this stage to completly impliment as so many resources on this site use them. From various models having them as a base to hosted projects using dozens of them.

Ofcourse if you ported something like a model from a Warhammer series game into WC3 or SC2 that is cmpletly different. In that case Blizzard would be legally liable for copyright infringment (especially in SC2) so the resource would have to be removed here.

I've heard different stories. Blizzard has always been pretty tight when it comes down to their games. Third-party tools are mostly forbidden because of that, and I know for sure that models (and other resources) were not allowed to be publicly used.
Last time we talked about that rule, all mods agreed on that (thus the rule got changed).
Blizzard used to be very strict about these kind of rules some time ago (some private servers had to be removed due to legal issues concerning Blizz property), though it is true that I haven't seen such activity recently.

WoW is free up to level 20, that's correct. I thought it was more a way to lure players, not an attitude of 'we don't care anymore'. Being free doesn't mean you can freely use their resources.
Until I actually have proof that Blizzard changed their attitude towards this, then I will interpret the Terms of Use of WoW to state that their resources belong to them and may not be used by others
Terms of Use said:
All rights and title in and to the Service (including without limitation any [...] objects, characters, [...] artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, [...]) are owned by Blizzard or its licensors
Click to expand...


Or there were cases when Blizzard brought an action on someone who uses their resources?
Click to expand...
No, it would be an impossible job for Blizzard to check all wc3 maps for ripped models.
This rule kills a lot of good maps.
Click to expand...
I sincerely hope you're joking. Importing resources doesn't do anything. In fact: I support maps that don't use an excessive amount of imports.
It doesn't kill ANY good map! None at all!
It's vital that you understand that. Otherwise you become resource-based, instead of quality-based - huge difference ("look! I can import cool models! pls like my map!" versus "I actually know how to make a good map").
Yes: imported resources are meant to

Not some, only one - WoW Scape - the biggest WoW private server. Because of using World of Warcraft in commercial purposes. Even GMs on WoW Scape received money for working. It stole too much money from Blizzard. This is only one reason why Blizzard brought an action on this server. Blizzard have received ~$30 millions after court.

If you didn't use Blizzard resources in commercial purposes, they won't pay attention on you. It is waste of time for them, because only one that they can reach is closing your project, NOT MONEY.

but of course a reply to a conversation made 6 years ago, yet i'm triggered and dont want to resist the urge to write a post (although im not a sjw)

I see logic on side of creator of this project:
To insult him is below level of eye-to-eye conversation, as he did not insult you-did he?. In my eyes (which of course has no worth to you), you are permanently rejected as conversation opponent.
Sure, projects that are good because of mechanics, story, and ideas exist, but in the end, majority of projects that are rated 4 stars+ all use custom resources as in models, terrain textures etcetra.
BESIDES! starcraft editor creators use WoW textures and models everywhere where warcraft is included, including a project that was hosted on hive some time ago, warcraft reborn, and do you see internet news's
articles about starcraft editor creators getting sued or sent to jail every month? @ap0calypse

Looking at the minimap
Click to expand...
You should try it in game (we can play together if you want). In the past the Hive had a map moderator that was reviewing maps without playing them. From the conversation above you can see how unprofessional he was and to what this led:
  • My map Impossible Siege 2 was rejected just because of one Magmaw model from WOW as a model for Boss. The whole Boss encounter was based on this model and its animations (you can see the ecounter at the uploaded videos), creating therefore a new experience. At that time there was a lot of maps using WOW import which were approved at the Hive. Of course that moderator never played the map as he told "WoW imports don't do a thing to your map".
  • He rejected Impossible Siege I Impossible Siege v0.55 that was a different map because he thought that Impossible Siege 2 is a new version and I multi-uploaded it. This again proves he never played both of them.
On the other hand you can see other well-known Hive members that played my maps and were highly supporting me in the dispute.

Then we should clarify that is the overall work should be. At this time Impossible Siege 2 is an almost an hour experience with a huge replayability, depending on the choice of party setup, difficulty levels and hero levelings. The core mechanics are all done. What if I say that this is all that was planned and decrease the size of minimap to not confuse someone? Then there is no work in progress. What will be with your arguments in this case? And what if I say that there are planned one, two, three (up to infinity) more chapters, heroes, items? Does that mean that the map should be in developing state for years?

Indeed the reviewer should compare your previous work for similarities
Impossible Siege v0.55

There's also a difference between your account name and the map author.

Also...
A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in Use by Impossible Siege v2.03 | HIVE

  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource.

  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.

I think that there are shown not only the resources used in Impossible Siege II, but also used in the maps with similar names (in particular, Impossible Siege 0.55 and previous verions of Impossible Siege II). A lot of these models are not included in Impossible Siege II, you can check it by yourself, the map is not protected. As to used-in-fact models (they are effects in most) I've tried to give a credit directly in the ability description, where the effect is used:

c8zKSUD1zsQ.jpg


In my opinion this gives a more favor to the effect creator. Anyway I'll give them credits also in the quest info along with the code systems (there are only two Regional Fog and ListModule, others are written by me) in the next little update. The custom icons (beside maybe two) are all taken from wowhead and the only custom unit model is Magmaw - all of these belong to Blizzard.

Version 2.07 is out. New talents for Death Knight (makes him a better tank) and for Shaman and Druid, which give them some damagging abilities. Fixed (somehow broken) Multiheroes regime, added "-repick" and "-camera debug" commands.

Here's a video, showing the new talent for Druid, which gives him Monsoon ability.

Version 2.09 is out. New game mode Turbo, which makes all chapter timers twice as faster, but creeps receives 50% more damage. Added Damage and Healing done multiboards ("-dd" and "-hd" repectively). Some heroes now has alternate skins (type "-skin 2" to see).

In 2.09b, bugs with new portals in Chapter 3 and dd/hd multiboards are fixed.

Trying to form a lobby with the game gives an error popup. No slots are open and I can't start the game. Has anyone else experienced similar?

Maps should be located at Warcraft III/Maps folder in Documents folder (I don't kow the exact name in the English version of Windows) and not in the folder the game is installed. It is funny that in the game install folder there is also Maps folder and the maps from it can be seen in the game, but cannot be hosted causing some errors. This is probably the case you encountered.
