The Omni Mod

INTRO

Project Name: The Omni

For lazy people:
This is mod. First you get hero, then you are placed into your camp with your team. Then your hero will walk into battlefield where your team has to conquer whole battlefield by eliminating enemies or just capturing all parts of the field. Then you will go back to camp and you will protect you base from enraged monsters. Then you will strike them back; you will attack their camps and dungeons. There is a story actually.

Intro:
This is Warcraft III Total Conversation or Warcraft 3 Conversation.
We will try to create it in a way so people will be able to switch between Warcraft 3 and Omni Mod; so you won't be required to swap files or gave 2nd copy of game on your PC.
This will change almost every aspect of Warcraft III game.
All materials and ideas are and will be created by Omni Team.
This project will be open source and also some tutorials will be included aside with the mod itself.
I read all of blizzard terms of use and contacted them. And we do not plan to do anything illegal or against their terms of use. We do this for fun and free.

Our Goal:
So what we want to achieve ? We want to provide Wc3 players fun and new experience.
We want to make something original, improve wc3 graphic and system.
Maps with fast paced actions and tactics where players will require to plays as a team in order to win.



GENERALLY

Type of Maps:
Battlefield, Base Defense, Hero Offense

Gameplay type:
Fast Paced PvP and PvE

Features:
Highly Designed Terrain
Lots of spells and builds per hero
Lots of different heroes; also same classes will have a bit changed look and stats.
Custom spell system
Custom item system
Custom leveling system
One Leader + Heroes



Info about Maps:
All maps will have 3 events: battlefield, base defense and hero offense. And each event is timed.
Primary event will be battlefield where heroes from all races are placed into field and their goal is to capture all parts of field or eliminate all other races.
Capturing more parts of field will give you more points that are used for end stats.
Whenever one team captures one part of field that part will be controled by MiniBase that is also used for restoring health and other similar things.
Also MiniBase is used as small fortress to defend you part of the field. You can buy few weak towers or hire few guards to defend it.
Victory is established whenever time elapses or one race eliminates all other races, or when one races captures all parts of field what gives you most points.


Base Defense:
In this part your mission is to defend you base from invading hostile monsters that wants to banish you from land.
Whenever one of hostile monsters enters you Base you will not be able to attack it anymore and guards will kill it. But you wont get any points for that.
Each wave of hostile monsters can bring you random boss that gives extra points.
Victory is established when time elapses.


Hero Offense:
You mission here is to invade dungeons inhabited with hostile monsters. Inside those dungeons you can find some random bosses also.
More you kill more points you will obtain. Further you go harder it will become.
This part is also time so when time elapses this event is finised. Also whoever finishes this event first will get extra points.


Base:
So base is used for purshasing items, learning new spells from trainers and similar things like some fun minigames inside.
You can enter and leave you base or camp whenever you want, except when you are inside battlefield.

Story:

Synetos
Long time ago while the world was still developing, a mystical race that worshiped the Syn sun lived secretly in the world. They called themselves Synetos in honor of the their sun Syn. Their elder called Qaru had far more intellect and power then any of their students, but the students themselves had power because Qaru made a link to each of them with his brain. As this wasn't a secret in the world, he was in grave danger, so the students protected him from any harm by building him a temple. By that time, the elder could also predict the future, and saw that on that fatal day when the sun will lose their power and their students and himself will lose all mind powers. So he made a secret scroll in which he wrote about this, and also a secret ritual that can make his students even more powerful then himself. He had given the scroll to his son and best student Varsheez, and told him not to open it until the “that“ day comes. One day the sun lost its powers, it turned blue and all Synetos lost their powers also. A dark cloud started to materialize upon their temple and dark lightning stroke the ground from the cloud creating giant spirit beast that striked the elder from behind and ripped his brain out and ran, and disappeared in the distance. Varsheez realized it was that day finaly. All the students were suffering massive headaches as there was no more link to Quaru's brain. Varsheez told the others they can be even stronger if they follow the scroll. The 2 things needed to make the ritual were 6 Synetos beings forming a circle and that one of them would say the ritual words while Syn sun is shinning upon scroll. But the scroll was gone. From that day they seek for that scroll. After many years they finally found the missing scroll. As the sun was shining , they formed the circle and Varsheez started to say the words instructed to him in the scroll. In that moment scroll glowed brighter and brighter, it finally exploded with the brightness so intense the sun looked like a dark place compared to it. When former students came to their minds they couldn't see, they became blind from the explosion, their eyes were glowing white as the suns rays, they grew long golden hair as the soon gave them their unique color, and they had never felt so powerful, they didn't need eyes; they could literally feel everything around them, they could lift object in the air without even touching them, but just by pure feeling, they could live forever unless killed by another hand. Their new bound leader was now Varsheez. By time the Synetos realized that they are actually too intelligent for other creatures. Their brains were so enhanced that creatures without enough intellect could die because of their powerful telekinetic ability, in that point they realized just how powerful they actually are.

Hidden info for Campaign: Synetos are searching for beast that ripped their leader Qaru. The beast is leader of Therion race, the Motinus.



Grotesques
When the world as we know it grew naturally in its lovely and beautiful way, deep under it a massive land filled with the garbage and impurity from the worlds surface that fell down to keep the world a normal place for the peaceful creatures, started to be over flooded. As there was no room on the surface for evil, it was forced to go under with the rest of the trash. Down under in the harsh land of Nectoros, a pool of all the impurities started to boil because of the massive pressure and heat, and with the evil-it grew life and vanished as it did it's part, the hideous monsters raised from the disgusting soup of impurity with no intelligence to understand themselves they only knew hate, and dedicated their lives to seek vengeance and revenge upon those that made them like this-the creatures from the surface. As there was no resources in the underworld, they were forced to go to the surface looking for food and materials to enhance themselves and they declared a field for their own and named the same as their place of birth, the Noctoros. From their vomiting looks and feelings to others they called themselves "Grotesques", after a period they spent anything useful on their field and needed to set of to different regions, while traveling they destroyed anything living and corrupted everything else. As the dark rituals were in their blood, they were creating them everywhere as they were passing , so that in the future, beings on the surface can remember what they have been doing unknowingly to their peaceful planet.

Hidden info for Campaign: They lost all of their resources and start to raise from the ground to search for new resources. Their race is know as cannibals and dark rituals. They use their dark rituals to summon powerful monsters. One of their ritual was sabotaged by Therions in order to summon their old king.



Eozoons
After life began to grew in the world, most of those lifes were replaced with new ones for survival of species. With this life's end. Instead of them reincarnating or going to the other world, their spirits were released in the moment of death, and merged with the element that killed them. But not all are blessed this way, only the beings that really appreciated and knew the elements were worthy enough to live this fascinating life. But with that blessing comes a curse with them, their eternal task is to protect the world they were made from, if it was in their power to stop a corruption or a devastating event , if they could not succeed they were sent outside the world and banned from it. With their powers to control the certain element they were made from, they will stop to nothing in their path. They made an alliance between each other and called themselves Eozoons. Now these mystical creatures half element, half spirit, formed the ultimate force against any threat in this world not because of the world itself, but because they don't belong anywhere else.

Hidden info for Campaign: They are trying to stop all other 3 races from destroying all land where Eozzons are used to live in peace.



Therions
Somewhere in the tranquility that is Torminat, the peaceful, yet intelligent creatures-able to speak lived in harmony with each other, shared food, told old stories, shared ideas, and so on. As strange as they were, they easily adapted themselves to the world because of their astounding intellect. They had great leader. Rumors were saying that he was immortal. But as destiny opened the door, a massive storm began on their fragile land, trees were falling, plants were being destroyed right in front of their eyes, their life was ending as they slowly watched it, helpless to do anything vital, they seked shelter somewhere. As the land was getting over flooded by the rain, it was hard for them to even move, many of them died at that moment, the rest went to higher ground so is not to drown, they climbed a small hill, and waited for the destruction to end. Their leader tragically died in the storm. Finally, storm was getting weaker, giant thunders rained from the sky, seeing that the little creatures clearly realized they have no chance of surviving, but instead the lightning hit the small group, they didn't die, but something worse, or to some better, their braines suffered extreme injuries that literally changed their nerv system. Electric impulses were massively enhanced, bones started to grow insanely large of hormones over flooding their bodies, muscles also strengthened and enlarged, fangs and claws grew. To some this would be a blessing, but this happened at a cost of their intellect, they didn't know right from wrong, logic, perception, almost nothing except their happy memories before they became like this, the lightning literally fried half their brains. In this state they no longer erged for herbs and plants, they needed meat for surviving because of their huge bodies. Survived Therions that stayed in their old land found some notes and pictures of their king drawing on the walls of their old caves. Those pictures shown them that one day their master will appear again and some strange notes for some kind of rituals. But ass their land was demolished by the very strange storm, some of them went to inspect origin of that strange storm and some of them went to a journey for food, just to survive. One day their leader appeared again. They were lead again by their great leader, who was also the king of their race before, but as they were shattered in groups, they called themselves Skays, and went to conquer new lands, realized by their new bound powers they figured it would be very easy...or was it!

Hidden info for Campaign: They were waiting for their leader to raise again. He was created by some dark ritual. Ritual was started by Grotesque and it was sabotaged by Therions in order to summon their leader. That dark ritual used powers of sun and drained most of power from Syn sun. When the king of all Therions, the Motinus was summoned, he needed brain from any creature to consume it in order to take his true form.



The Story (Beginning)
At the beginning of the new era, the Synetos roamed the world and seeking for new creatures to control. While they were traveling, their telekinetic abilities were creating anomalies everywhere around them. As this was not a natural way for the world the Eozoons had to stop them, but unfortunately they were to occupied by stopping the Grotesques. The horrifying monsters were corrupting and killing the world as they were searching for resources to survive, as they stumbled upon a group of Eozoons they started to talk to the Grotesques to try to persuade them not to destroy the world. As they couldn't fight them because they were over numbered. But as the Grotesques didn't understand anything logical, they fought them with no thinking and won the battle. This angered the rest of the Eozoons so they started to recruit to stop this devastating force. By that time the Synetos stumbled upon a few Therions. Therions said to him to stop where he is or they will be imprisoned for trespassing. This shocked the Synetos. They couldn't believe that such a huge animal could talk let alone think for themselves. The Synetos asked them if they know the creature they are seeking, and the Therions figured he was talking about Motinus, their leader. Without even thinking one of the Therions jumped at the Synetos, and Synetos froze them in the air. Few Therions ran back to report this and one of them was imprisoned by Synetos. When Therions found out about this they were shocked and they decided to conquer their land. Varsheez asked imprisoned Therion why they attacked him. He said that they destroy anything that threatens their race. With that act the Synetos were threatened as well and Varsheez decided to kill him by actually cutting him in half, but he couldn't, the creature had a strangely hardened body, as this didn't work he took a blade and penetrated him with it. That event angered both the Synetos and Therions so they started to enhance their powers as much as they can before meeting again. As the Therions were training, they needed "practice targets", and the only thing good enough for that were innocent creatures. This also angered the Eozoons greatly and started to plan an extingsion upon the Therions as well as the Grotesques. In that time the Synetos were performing small rituals to absorb more power from the sun to enhance their telekinetic abillites, as that was their only weapon for combat. The energy of the ritual was so strong that the objects around them started to fly away from them, those object actually hit a scouting team of Grotesques called Bloodtrackers, so they went to see what it was and found the Synetos meditating. The Synetos saw the hideous creatures and were speachless, they didn't even try to speak to them, they tought they could remove them with their ability somehow they were resilient. So they fought them and killed 1 of them but also the Grotesques killed 1 of the Synetos. This was first time one of Synetos died after their old Qaru leader. The Synetos tryed to figure out why were showing to much of resistance to their mind powers as they didn't show any signs of intelligence or tactics. Obviously they were not smart enough, so why didn't they show any effects on their mind powers. The escaped Grotesque quickly informed the rest of their race and declared war upon them. Meanwhile, as the mighty Therions were in training they sent a small group to go for food and water, as they were traveling they stumbled upon a swamp-like field, they found the lair of the Grotesques, and they noticed the Therions right away and quickly they attacked them. As the Therions were a surviving race they learned to organize themselves, so 1 of them ran as fast as he can to worn the others about this, while the rest of the group stayed to block the Grotesques from finding him. The leaking of that 1 Therion angered the Grotesques and they started to learn how to fight better and make weapons, the news from the Therion angered the race greatly and they had yet another enemies to face if they hope to survive.
This part is where all races are in conflict. And this part is used for Skirmish.
The Story (Ending)

The Campaign Story (Connection from Races Intro)
Day 1: Grotesque raised upon earth. Qaru predicted that their Syn sun will lose all powers and whole race will lost all of their telekinetic powers. But he didn't predicted that this is caused by ritual by Grotesque that Therions sabotaged to raise their king again. So cause of Synetos's losing their power was not sun but Qaru's death.
Day 2: Grotesque started to create dark rituals.
Day 3: One of their ritual created great storm that destroyed land of Therions.
Day 4: Some of the Therions thay survived the storm found notes and drawings inside their caves, they went to inspect origin of that strange storm.
Day 5: They found Grotesque performing rituals. And they connected that with notes and pictures they found in their caves that their king has drawn.Those rituals could be used for them to raise their king again. They did not found out that Grotesque destroyed their land by rituals.
Day 6: While Grotesque were performing a ritual Therions sabotaged their ritual using their notes from caves. Apperiantly those notes are used for Motinus's reincarnation.That ritual used powers of sun and took almost all power from Syn sun. Sun became blue and big cloud was created upon Synetos's temple. That cloud was created by sabotaged dark ritual and its used for summoning. Lightning from the cloud stroke the ground behind Qaru and Motinus was summoned in spirit form. In order to take true form he had to consume brain of any living creature. Qaru happened to be standing right in front of Motinus spirit.
Day 7: Eozoons were angry because of other races destroying their land so they started to attack them.
