{OLD} Wc3:WoW Discussion

[Craka_J]

I need to get a valid full version of WoW. I'm too lazy to use uTorrent or Vuze. Takes way too long for that stuff just to download. I'll stick with buying games and getting them right then and there.

I tried using an MPQ from a Trial of WoW I downloaded, but it seems to be protected or something.

[Hawkwing]

The WoW Model Viewer is no longer compatible with World of Warcraft, and the person who is designing one that is compatible has gone AWOL.

 

[Craka_J]

Lucky me.
Thanks for the heads-up, Hawkwing.

~Craka_J

 

[iPeez]

Is the only way you can view models of wow buying the game and you'll get a tool as well? Can this tool be used to view terrain too? Sounds great, expect one thing: I dont play wow "/
Any links to a cracked version of the tool if that is possible?

 

[Craka_J]

I'm pretty sure this download of WoW allows WoW Model Viewer still. Not sure.

~Craka_J

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I have wow model viewer that was made for wotlk beta, but it's very buggy

 

[Hawkwing]

So do I. As I said, the guy who is working on it has gone AWOL, so it's still extremely buggy.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Buggy in what way?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Some models are missing parts and giving weapons / armors to chars make it go all nuts.
Stuff like that for example

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

But, can you view stuff like weapons and armor, but without them being on a character? If that is doable, then fuck it that you cannot view it ON characters.

And these models that misses parts, is it only the new models introduced in wotlk or is it all models at random?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Models that miss parts are mostly characters and some random models (Only rare cases).
You can still look weapons (Some miss textures though) and armors (Helmests/Shoulders/Shields cause other armors are just skins slapped to the chars)

 

[tyeeeee1]

>.> if u need pic's of monsters/npcs/ or some armors/weapons jsut send me a pm and il go get some pics.

 

[Craka_J]

[Not Wc3:WoW Related] I am currently looking for good voice actors with hopefully good quality microphones who are willing to help with a cinematic that me and Bob27 are working on. Voices for just about every race are needed, so come on and post a zip file with a few samples! [/Back to Wc3:WoW]

Orgrimmar is coming along well. No big enough updates yet to show off the map some more, but be patient. Maybe tomorrow or the day after I can.

~Craka_J

 

[tyeeeee1]

wow... that beta u re realeased is verry dissapointing, looks nothing like wow, least it was a relly old version =)

 

[Hawkwing]

It's going to be near impossible to make it anywhere near the real WOW, but for what is possible I think we've done really well.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

wait a sec.

where did you get the re released BETA WOW ?

a beta hasn't been released for 2 years...i think.

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't know, but it's not a BETA. It's the old Wc3 WoW made by it's original author. I believe Craka just wanted to show you what it looked like before CE came into the picture.

 

[Skore_sM]

Ye. Its really old version of Wc3:WoW.
The newest version rox.

 

[iPeez]

Ye. Its really old version of Wc3:WoW.
The newest version rox.

It is the old one yes, but ... hmm you bastard.. Have you tested newest? I would kill for that...

 

[Skore_sM]

Hehe ^^
Well, I tested it because I am Beta Tester =)

 

[Csicska]

Wowhead: All the awesome of Barrens Chat without the rest of Barrens Chat.
Death Knight - NPC - World of Warcraft <-- example
There you are, the site with lots of screenies of all the zones in WoW, and screenshots of every NPC and a model viewer. You can't see animations, only "Stand 1" (if you are viewing with Java), but guess it's enough.
Ummm just thought I'll mention it

 

[Craka_J]

Skore_sM is our best tester so far. Has reported a lot of bugs already and he has been with us for not that long.

The released Wc3:WoW campaign file at our downloads page currently is the OLDEST version there is to find of Wc3:WoW. It was before Condemned Entertainment came around to take over the project. Yes, it sucks. The new one will massacre the one we released. I'm just releasing it to show off what it used to look like and to show what progress we've made since then. LOTS of progress. The campaign is totally remade and renewed. Just about every last detail is recreated and improved. So don't worry, the next release will be worth your while for sure, I promise that.

Thanks for the sites, Csicska.

~Craka_J

 

[iPeez]

We thank you once again for your promise ^^

If I find any bugs in the old beta there is not need to report?

 

[Craka_J]

Nope. Only the latest BETAs are relevant as far as bug reports go.

~Craka_J

 

[iPeez]

How are these beta testers working. Do they get a map and shall play it 1 week or something or do they get the latest map every month and report bugs everytime they find some?

 

[DrunkenPanda200]

Craka I have a small question. It's about that BETA-tester application-thingy. Approximately how fast is actually a "fast" internet connection?

 

[iPeez]

he have told us, and espessialy me, that they dont need beta testers

 

[DrunkenPanda200]

Yeah I remember that he has said it sometime. But I thought that if I apply now maybe I can be BETA tester 2011 or so, when they want new testers.

 

[iPeez]

Hehe xD Maybe if you're lucky

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Would a jumping system be to buggy or hard to intergrate into War3 WoW?

 

[DrunkenPanda200]

Hehe xD Maybe if you're lucky

A man can dream...

A jumping systen would be cool (and useful). I've seen an awesome one in another wc3 map that would probably fit this project perfectly.

 

[iPeez]

What is the diffrent bettween these systems? I have only seen 2 KINDS: Right up in the air jump and to the direction you move.

 

[DrunkenPanda200]

In the only one I've seen you jump in the direction you where heading. Unless you stand still of course.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, it'd be quite possible, but it'd require some good animators to make it look realistic, otherwise it would just be another blink spell. Unfortunately for us, active animators are tough to find.

 

[Craka_J]

It is not impossible to add and will be added... some day. There will be a few things we'll need to be sure of to keep the jumping players from doing something unexpected such as going through walls or whatever because of jumping. We'll see how it goes. If you find good jumping systems, post them so we can see which is the best.

~Craka_J

 

[thedeathunterxx]

hmm

i saw a cool jumping system in a halo map or something... i forgot though.

it was the best jumping ive ever seen though.

perhaps you could find TCX << a shooter map that has a cool jumping system.

 

[DrunkenPanda200]

THAT's the one! TCX has an extremely good jumping system. If you could get them to help you with that then this project would be even more awesome.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

hmmm

but in TCX,you had to use the mouse click.

In WOW, they use the space bar.

perhaps RTC will come through with something that uses the space bar... lol

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Some day... the... intergration... of all the stuff... will be... completed!

 

[Craka_J]

Jumping will be included and, if we can, the space bar will be used to jump. Otherwise you'd have to hit some other key to jump, which is something I do not want, nor does anyone else.

I'm working on Orgrimmar again and The Drag, the Valley of Wisdom, and the Valley of Honor are the three areas I'm working on right now. The Drag is getting the most attention for now since I really need the Thrall's Chamber building with its interior in order to actually finish it. I'm also going to need the battlemaster room/building as well to finish the Valley of Honor. The next two building-related models that I'll need is the Ring of Valor and that structure where the Orgrimmar Hunter trainer is located. I'll get a name and a bunch of reference images later when I can and when needed.

The Cleft of Shadows is doing fine. There will be requests for that area as well, so stay tuned!

~Craka_J

 

[thedeathunterxx]

hmmm

cant wait to see ragefire casim

o and will thrall be a boss ? like in the real WoW??

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Are the cities seperate zones? It would give you a great ability to enlarge the cities to a maximum range of beauty.


P.S. - Since WotKL's new SW change. Are you done where the SW's port covers now?!



Edit: Can we have a list of all the Zones that are currently being worked on/complted? =)

 

[Craka_J]

Thrall is indeed a boss. What level? As 60, since we need to set the level maximum for heroes to 60.

Cites are, of course, separate zones. Why wouldn't they be? And if you meant to ask if they are separate maps, then yes, they are separate maps as well. Orgrimmar is its own map and Thunder Bluff is its own map, for example.

Being Worked On Now	In Line To Be Worked On	Completed
Thunder Bluff Orgrimmar Valley of Trials Stormwind Elwynn Forest Arathi Basin	The Barrens Mulgore Durotar Echo Isles Thousand Needles Ashenvale Ragefire Chasm Character Creation/Loading Map	Nothing is declared as done anymore since I plan to revise just about all of the already made terrains. Durotar, The Barrens, Mulgore... they all need much more work and their map scale size to be increased! Most of the maps were made very inaccurate and that contradicts our promise to make the mod as accurate as we can, challenging our abilities to the fullest. There are still a lot of resources needed in order to make the gameplay and landscapes of Wc3:WoW accurate and valid, so if you think you can help in that area, check out THIS THREAD!

That's the top down for you. Right now, the majority of the maps are about 187x187 up to 256x256. I plan to recreate the terrains entirely to be accurate and fitting for the mod at a size of 480x480!

~Craka_J

 

[thedeathunterxx]

so big for just one terrainer :O

 

[Craka_J]

Well hopefully the addition of Bob27 and MadseN will help the terraining processes progress faster. I really hope BoneBreaker is working. He hasn't been on since November.

~Craka_J

 

[thedeathunterxx]

o that sounds great ! two more terrainers woulddefenitly speed up the progress.

that sounds bad that bonebreaker hasn't been on : /

continue making the terrain anyway. perhaps he went on winter vacation or something >.>

 

[NinjasDontFight]

perhaps he went on winter vacation or something >.>

He should atleast say something, only takes 45 seconds to make a message.

 

[Skudgemuffin]

Craka, if you wanted Thrall to be a higher level you could just make it so players gain 0% of experience when they hit level 60, and change the max level to something higher.

 

[Craka_J]

Good idea!

~Craka_J

 

[Hawkwing]

Pfft. I could've told you that!
