LoreCraft Asset Installer

[nemanjat]

I downloaded today on windows 11, restarted my pc, Allowed Local Files, allowed old terrain... None of the orc models are displayed and terrain is black, in short campaign is unplayable for me. Can someone confirm that its working as intended? Now im getting error in the image.

the corruption might have happened if the warcraft 3 client or editor were launched during installation. Uninstall the mod and try again.
In the video you can see how to uninstall.

Thanks for your reply. I tried that, maybe the install file itself is corrupted when downloaded? Can you provide a cheksum?

You can try unpack the archive manually into retail folder and then writing AllowLocalFiles int he registry

Hi, got the exact same issue as the previous commenter. Reinstalled wc3 itself, then used the lorecraft installer, rebooted, nothing worked.
Even the manual pack seems to give the same issue.

Read the previous comments. You literally messed up during the installation process, specifically putting that asset in the game root.

If the problem still persists, try using the manual method. Make sure you don't open either WC3 or WE during the installation process, and that you have to reboot your system after the installation.

Hi guys,
hello guys
I think I know why the characters don't appear after installation. It seems to be a problem due to the security in windows 11 (I think since the last 2 updates) which no longer lets you write directly to the registry.
I downloaded the files manually from here and wrote the AllowLocalFiles registry key manually and now it works. I'm posting the archive with the registry key for anyone interested (the key is removed from post 5)

1.Make sure you have the latest Warcraft III: Reforged patch from Battle.net (currently v2.0.4.23745).
2.Make sure you enable the Reforged mode in-game (everything set to Reforged HD; Classic HD is unsupported).
3.Make sure you enable the Old Terrain option (this is also essential if you want to play the other HD-only maps and campaigns like W3RR).
4.Install the mod first using this Asset Installer before installing the campaign itself. Remember to reboot your system, and that you don't open either game or WE during the installation process.

The author has even provided a video regarding the installation guide.

This is not the problem related to Windows 11. It's all about the mod installation. Have you ever followed the posts above yours, as well as my advice above in this post?

I followed the steps 3 times exactly as in the video on two different computers and had the same results. Everything worked only after I manually ran AllowLocalFiles.reg

Hi all,
I initially had the same issues as others, where models were black or un-rendered & icons were green.
I managed to resolve the issue by pointing the install at ProgramFilesx86 instead of just ProgramFiles.
Hopefully this helps some others wanting to experience an excellent custom campaign.

 

[Frops]

Oi, pessoal,
olá, pessoal
Acho que sei por que os caracteres não aparecem após a instalação. Parece ser um problema devido à segurança do Windows 11 (creio que desde as duas últimas atualizações), que não permite mais a gravação direta no registro.
Baixei os arquivos manualmente daqui e escrevi a chave de registro AllowLocalFiles manualmente, e agora funciona. Estou enviando o arquivo compactado com a chave de registro para quem tiver interesse (a chave foi removida da postagem 5).

THANKS

 

[Costi-San]

THANKS

I'm glad to help!

Hi,

No orc models are displayed, almost all my terrain is black, unit options are displayed with neon green squares...

YES, I'm sure I have the latest version of the game.
YES, I activated the game in Reforged.
YES, I put the terrain in V1.36 Old terrain.
YES, I installed the mod as administrator, without the WC3 client being open, I restarted my PC once the installation was finished, then installed the campaign in the campaign folder once everything was finished.

I installed Costi-San's "Allowlocalfiles" file and that doesn't work either.

There may be something I don't understand here, but it seems to come from this "Allowlocalfiles" file and I don't know where to find a way to fix this problem.

The next few days I will try to install the assets manually.

this is how it looks for me please help

Seems you have the broken download.

Try using different browsers like Chrome or Edge. Opera is notorious for bug.

 

[Gilorad]

thank you for the help! it didnt work with Edge but worked with chrome

Nevermind, if i click on the download file link on the tools page underneath the Title Name link it downloads in seconds, if i open the LOrecraft page and click on the download image thats when i get slow download then booted, or just a frozen download

Splendid!

Just one problem: Where is the Chinese? Where the translation goes? I feel so confused.

It's totally odd, or should I campare with someone?

I've watched the video over and over again, made sure everything was right twice over, and the assets still don't load right. Blue figures, green portraits, black ground... I want so badly to play this campaign and experience your awesome work, but I just can't get it right. Will someone help me?

Had the same issue, just run AllowLocalFiles.reg located in the Warcraft III folder (after assets are installed) and it should work

Yep, tried that. No avail. I've redownloaded the thing like 5 times at this point, as well as reinstalled WC3, I am pretty close to giving up honestly.

 

[Mellstorm]

the security system refuses to launch it
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Filter

Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Edge, it won't become executable until Microsoft decides so.

Oh, I forgot, I also installed warcraft 3 in D drive instead of the default C:\Program files (x86) when it worked, maybe you can also try that.

Hello everyone. I keep getting a "failed" report whenever I try to download this file and the campaign itself, or a message saying "This app can't run on your PC".

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Maybe download the file in Free Downlaod Manager or any other places instead of Edge and run it in the desktop could solve this problem.

What is wrong? Please be more specific so I (and maybe, someone) can help.
It's better to include your system specification and Windows version.

Possible workarounds to prevent crashes:

• If you have a laptop with dual GPUs, the game must be played with either normal AMD Radeon GPU (if your CPU and GPU were AMD) or NVIDIA GeForce.
• Turn down the graphics quality through game settings. I highly suggest not doing this while in-game (must from the game menu) as it could cause intermittent freeze.
• Terminate all background process before starting the game. This should reduce both RAM and GPU usage.

It's just like the other AAA games. Reforged has a bad optimization when using the HD graphics.

honestly i dont think it's because low specs or something like that i did run ToD on older version (that used CSW installer) with no significant issues
(a few crashes here and there but usually while loading next mission so that wasn't a problem)


background was clear i restarted my PC multiple times and turned off anything that was not needed

what i found out was on my 1st instalation (when i had old CWS still installed)
that i got further on RotA than on clean reinstall (with CWS i got past the wave defend then crash without it crashes right after i get control of the units)
but yeah ToD (not sure what version cuz i deleted it) ran almost perfectly on CSW installer

 

[Tamplier]

Installer was patched up.
Now the issue with local files should be gone, plese test if you didnt have the models visible and you didnt try walkarounds.
Reminded that you must install in the folder that contains Warcraft 3 game launcher and that you need to reboot pc after installation.

 

[koba01]

tried it again here's update from my side

ToD 2.0: loaded no problem (just made it to the 2nd mission so...)

RotA: did load looks like most models loaded but still crashed after i get control over my units

restarted my PC after instal and after allowing local files

any help appreciated
