mod

[Sylvos]

Hello!
I'm not about being in the right place, but I try!
Well, I started, it's been a year, a map, I created buildings, units ... and now I want to make a mod (like this: http://www.moddb.com/mods/warcraft-iii-nirvana) to add an extra race. But I do not know how?
Can anyone help me? In advance, thank you.

you dont need to have a mod for this. dont make the race selectable in the game lobby, rather make it selectable ingame (with dialogs for example).

Admittedly, I already used this solution several times.
Only it involves playing with race on ONE specific card.
Now what I want is to use the race with ALL maps in custom game mode.

Perhaps you can inject your data using JNGP on melee maps.

 

[Sylvos]

Fair enough, but then again, how?
Any other ideas?

Maybe you can edit the units of a race, eg Orcs, and replace the models of the units with the models of the units you want (+adding abilities and stuff you like). It's not a good solution cause you will still have 4 races, but it remains a solution.

You can create your custom mpq, using that create a custom exe that will run the game using it.
Somewhere on this forum was explained detailed in a forum post, will try to find it on browser history...

Thank you DESTROYER123 but I want race more, not instead of another ! I know it's possible. I play many mods where designers had to add additional races!
Thank you EagleXI, I'll try what you say.

Other opinions ????

Check Heaven's Fall on Map Development, you can talk to Retera, the developer of Heaven Fall on how he do it.
I played the mod and it works on all Melee maps

Thank you Daffa The Mage. That's what I've done but I have not yet been answer.
Any ideas?

Basically, Eagle XI has answered the question in the most viable way, the tools mentioned are the only ones (that I'm also aware of from my experience) that can be used to make mod injected in every Melee map.
You can also import files for every single Melee map and upload them, but that's not worth the effort and it gives too much headache.

Another thing that I'm aware is utilizing local files. This allows the whole Warcraft 3 to get injected with everything in the local folder. But this can grant Desynchronization when playing in multiplayer against someone without the mod.
