Maybe through CiniCraft / Matt Andrzejczuk?

Site is now offline, but one can still find some Contact info, thanks to archive.org


CiniCraft hosted the 2007 archive, and made a campaign for it in 2009, or so it seems (please see Description on YouTube)

** update **

Pierce Arner might be of some help here too:
He made a thread about it on Google+

Quoting: "It was one of the bigger projects that I was involved in doing community work with back in... like 2006-ish [...] I just managed their content and I didn't directly build anything for the Mod itself"

@Kam

i have some stuff that might interest some.

i found this folder filled with collection of model entitled WotH which i'm not sure where do i get this stuff from.
i assume it stands for War of the Three Hammer project from Wc3c.

it contain some fine quality model, and some of them are is still in WIP state.

not sure if it's allowed to be shared, but if someone able to ask permission to the corresponding author of the model or know that this model already allowed to be shared for public, i shall share it in here.

Looks a bit like wow rips but remains to be seen.

If they're indeed from the WottH mod then you'd need some permission from Chriz.(I suppose) and camel's_hump among others.

On a side note, a good chunk of those resources have been shared back on BlizzMod.info, moyacz's site.

I need permission from whoever is deemed to be the current leader of the mod.

probably should moyacx as the person who have permission to share it in his site from what i seen in the blizzmod.info

the person who made the resources probably already retired from wc3 modding.

edit : horrible typo

 

[Kam]

That has been an issue in the past and in the cases where the original team can't be reached I ask the site owner.

*emerges from some dark mist*

The Withering Kind folder pack is malicious, I mean corrupted

That must be because back then I used some tool from Vexorian on the MPQ (can't remember which) to make sure nobody hacked the mod or used its resources maliciously. I am pretty sure somebody more knowledgeable than me can crack through that, since what that program did was remove the file list from the MPQ iirc.

"Is the Withering Kind ever gonna be revived?" somebody may ask. The answer is... sorry, no, I forgot most things about vJass and while it shouldn't be impossible to get back on track (the language is pretty easy to understand), I suffered from a couple of pretty bad HDD failures in the last couple of years which have deleted all of the most recent development versions I had for the mod, in which I had coded quite a bunch of new things. Also, those versions of The Withering Kind were the only ones without that protection thingy applied to them so... yeah, losing all that work and also having to hack through my own mod have killed any chance of me getting back to it.

PS: If you're only interested in the resources you can find pretty much all of them on this site and at wc3c.net. The resources are all credited in the mission/quest tab so you should find more information about them there.

*goes back into the mist*

EDIT: About that pretty old discussion about credits for The Withering Kind, just to be clear, most of the art assets have been taken here (Hive) and there (wc3c.net) from a bunch of modelers (of which I can only remember deolrin tho, lol), what little art I did was some icons from screenshots (which should be pretty easy to recognize since they all have red backgrounds) and some small edits/changes and a little work on the Scarlet Enforcer (the sword I think?, most of that model came from deolrin), I also used some public scripts and systems, like the Custom Race one from Archmage Owenalacaster and Timer/Caster systems from Rising_Dusk and Vexorian among others. Besides that, the rest of the assets were made by me, that includes all of the spells, code and that weird but brutal AI that tries to mimic the normal one but never succeeds.
Thanks to Kyrbi0 for his chivalry, much appreciated

 

[stein123]

One question, i know that the HoS pack have all of the resources that Sellenisko managed to finish/recover (plus the already finished stuff from the original modders), but there are more resources from that mod? 'cause i've been reading some forums about the mod, and i think threre are more stuff :/

Also, did anyone knows about this project (wich seems pretty dead): Beyond the Dark Portal - XGM

 

[Deleted member 238226]

They are stein
and there's still some buildings model that not inside the HoS pack in here.

[Deleted member 238226]

[BlackRangerXIII]

[Kyrbi0]

All of us! All of us!

 

[Deleted member 238226]

if that would be ok..

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

Please @Wisdom my dear friend capable of "cat"lateral damage

Just do it

 

[JokeMaster]

There are a few more.

Here ya go folks.

 

[Kam]

Where did these additional models come from?

 

[JokeMaster]

Honestly i don't remember, I have spoken with rommel a few times about some stuff, and got a few files from him, but i don't think those came from there too.
Oh and here a screen pack of all missing HOS resources that i know of http://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/d602e6c5a929ce372b481114144b07547979/
For example i got from rommel those two :
Heart of Storms MOD
Heart of Storms MOD
Additionally i have the mod's campaign archive and mpq aswell as the w3o file with unit settings.

I'm really impressed, i have seen a lot of pictures of the HoS resources, but many of the file that you attached are totally new to me!

 

[JokeMaster]

Glad to be of use.

If you would please contact him and see about having all of this added I would appreciate it.

The archive I have uploaded was assembled with some care as many resources were incomplete and needed work as I understand.

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

@JokeMaster
Pretty please. Can you get these missing files
Specially the New Shocktrooper

EDIT:
@Kam @JokeMaster:
Took a look at the file that JokeMaster posted and I have two things to say:

1. They sure made a mess there and would take someone some time to order things by their names and not by the file they replace
2. Some models appear that appear on MPQ also appear on Sellenisko's Pack and some of the models in the MPQ are actually bugged in some form or another, requiring fix

 

[Kyrbi0]

Dang. I have researched, archived (& been sitting on) HoS for years not a few, and I thought I'd seen everything... Where'd those Blue Drake/Dragon screenshots come from? Criminy.

See, that's how Dragons are done, Blizzard. Whelps, fine, Drakes, cool, but Dragons should be a BIG DEAL.

 

[JokeMaster]

I haven't contacted him since 2013, or maybe even earlier.
Also they are not too broken, most are usable with only some minor fixing required, like finding the missing skin parts. Oh and don't try to open the taintedone the first/basic version as it is impossible ind mdx, when converted to mdl it works fine.

I have a explaination in my post above Kyrbi0's

 

[Kam]

If you all want to work together to create a part 2 pack I will see about getting permission. Everything needs to work though.

 

[A Void]

Well, there it is. Starcraft Revolution a famous Starcraft recreation in Warcraft 3 engine.

While we couldn't contact the developers, we can still preserve the mod in Hive. Enjoy.

If you want to play this mod you will need to downgrade to Warcraft TFT 1.21 patch.

 

[JokeMaster]

I can spare some time and get on fixing.

 

[stein123]

What about the Great Troll War pack? many of the "work" models need fix

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

I can spare some time and get on fixing.

I'm gonna wait for you to fix all models for me to try and Recompile the Heart of the storms Pack

 

[JokeMaster]

Ok, i'll give them some love. Should be done on saturday (have to go to job too).

 

[Kyrbi0]

Woah, that's... fast. I mean, Sellenisko has been (ostensibly) working on this for... Quite some time now.

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

Ok, i'll give them some love. Should be done on saturday (have to go to job too).

I'll wait until then
after that Just send me the files through PM and I'll combine with the original Heart of Storms Pack

 

[Kam]

I know it's a significant task to do all of this. Thank you. It's always been my hope that the community would take over this thread.

 

[Kyrbi0]

You here that, boys? This thread's under new management!!

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

I know it's a significant task to do all of this. Thank you. It's always been my hope that the community would take over this thread.

@Kam:
Oh no, you're not leaving everything to us.
you are still needed to update the first post with all the assets compiled.

 

[JokeMaster]

Yeah, and just beside that you also posses some hos assets that arent in the pack, dont you, Kam?

 

[Kam]

I'm not leaving the thread. I am the maintainer. *glowing blue eye slowly turns red

It's nice to see community members pursing new resources to add though.

The HoS resources I have are uploaded here, there was a lot I had no seen before in the above posts.

 

[Deleted member 238226]

amazing pack joke master

seems it beat mine on the quantitiy hehe.
also, good luck with the pack guys

Regarding you being maintainer, will you "maintain" Starcraft Revolution mod? HoS isn't the only mod that has to be preserved here. Idk what the fuss about some few models is.

As I mentioned I couldn't contact the developers.

Oops
Sorry for not commenting about what you brought up
I'll recompile everything

 

[Himperion]

Keep the cool job guys. More models is always a good thing.

 

[JokeMaster]

Please report any broken models in other packs. When i finish with HOS i'll do my best to give others a proper maintenance.

 

[stein123]

The Great Troll war pack contains some broken models, principally the dwarves and some human models

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

@JokeMaster Once you're done fixing the HoS Models
Send to me first so that I can recompile it

 

[Himperion]

Well, the Great Troll War have some problem with textures, some of them even properly renamed can't load. If i remember the Headhunter and Trollpriest needed to have the skins worked on blplab to make them appear ingame.

 

[Kam]

Keep me apprised of your work. I'll update the OP as packs are completed.
