Vision Mod - Reforged Graphics Quality Control v2.5.2

[emperorsfist]

Thank you very much for your continued work! You do make the Reforged visuals more palpable (at least for me).

 

[Kallel]

Hello,

Can the assets safely ovveride the custom assets from the Re-Reforged campaigns?

So, in the end, I tried it, and I strongly discourage anyone else from doing the same.

The new models by the Vision mod have different animations (for walking, for instance) that don't match with the vision from the Re-Reforged's author. The result is very strange and immersion-breaking. Sadly, it looks like one has to choose between playing with the Vision mod and playing the Re-Reforged campaigns, both can't be done at the same time.

Hey Visionmod I made a weird observation and i am not sure, if those are already known problems. On some Savegames from custommaps, the mod seems to make some buildings and units die - or at least they play their deathanimation but still exist. Also some Versus Replays seem to malfunction (Units get stucked or do strange things until basically inactivity takes over). So i wonder why this is happening - may be because of different collision size compared to original Reforged?

Note: The affected replays have been recorded in Reforged original visuals Versus-Mode and i went back on them later on with the VisionMod installed.


Here is a video with the blowing up buildings and units.

Anyone else experienced such problems?

Thx for your effort to work on the Reforged-Models and bring this mod to us. If i may add one last thing: I had the impression, that the huntress is a bit oversized compared to other T1 units. They make them look very tiny - i understand they are riding a huge wildcat - still it seemed to be a bit off in my opinion.

You got my Vote

Hello, your reshade look is interesting. I wonder if using it with the 2.0 HD graphics it would look like the fake painted screenshots we never got.

I am aware of issues with save games - it exists in default Reforged. Here's a video showing how the animation transitions break without the mod. Your example seems to be a more egregious form of this.

This happens in save games but as far as I know never in new games or checkpoint saves.

Replays I have not seen my own bug out but I know even in Classic graphics there are replay bugs in some downloads were the opponent stops moving or the game is kind of hallucinated. As for the huntress, like horses and wolves, it is a very different shape from Classic. I believe I scaled it up to fit better in the standing silhouette and shortened the tail. Certainly it is longer that the Classic version when moving but I'm limited by the choices of the original artists. You can always delete the huntress.mdx model in the units folder so the game uses the default or adjust it to your liking in Retera's Model Studio.

Thanks for your feedback! I’m a bit puzzled why the savegame only spawns exploding buildings when your models are on – but I’ve seen the same thing on a custom map where I placed some units really close together in the editor. In the end, don’t let it bother you too much, it is just an observation and if it is some spaghetti code from Blizzard, there’s not much we can do anyway. I begin to like your models more and more. It took a short amount of time to get used to them but now i think they are indeed a clear step up.


And yep, I do use ReShade – good eye . In theory, you could use it to make things look closer to the fake screenshots, but getting it perfectly aligned is trickier than it first seems. If you don’t like the bright grass green for example on lorderon summer maps, you can change it – but then you automatically change the color of faction green too. There are always these little overlaps where you have to make compromises, especially if you want a single profile that works decently on all map templates.


Honestly, having separate control over terrain and unit colors would be a dream – but sadly, ReShade can’t give you that, only blizzard.


If you want, I can send you the profile and you can play around with it yourself.

Yes that is why I stopped using it because it would help one part but not the whole. I just use monitor settings. If you want to share it make a new form post of your own and put it there for download since some people want a more hand drawn style. I'd suggest screenshots of both and reforged and HD if it looks decent

 

[VisionMod]

v1.7 Update:

New folder "Environment" all optional foliage (turned on in the main menu) updated the size and color to better match the 2.0 tilesets.

Color of trees and some doodads updated to better match 2.0 textures.

Removed random bone models from blight because the 2.0 textures have it drawn on.

Hero Tinker Gazlowe Attack 2 updated and Naga/Vash attack updated to be consistent with the attack ready. Removed sword from default Naga. SH/Rokhan weapon hero glow redone.

Bug Fixes from Default Reforged: Felwood lilypad spawning bug on Springtime fixed.
Dead critters like frog no longer have their body respawn once the skeleton appears. There is a weird shadow under the chicken, even in default reforged, I can't seem to do anything about.

Added a screenshot of the grass/trees to the top post if you're interested.

Update v1.8 Added New Hero Skins, Campaign Animations, More Fixes

Campaign: I added back all cinematic animations that were removed and fixed the weapon clipping for units with custom weapons.

Lich King Reforged with WoW Animations - credit VictorZ for the animations and glow. Model - credit Holyravioli and Textures - credit Symphoneum. I removed team color from gloves and added Symphoneum's textures to default DK. Switched the spell animation names so the sword goes forward when he casts, remade the death and dissipate with the cinematic death.

Thrall Mountless - credit VictorZ. I added Farseer spell effects, adjusted the run, and spell animations for chain lightning.

Malfurion Mountless - credit Retera. I combined the walk animation of Retera's model with the beta model because the beta version has a buggy staff transition. Added new spell channel animation and weapon spell effect.

Tyrande Mountless - credit Retera. I used the upright model but replaced the stand animation with the hunched version. Also added a quiver.

Gul'Dan - credit Fugrim. I added firelord spell effect to weapon. Drag the icons into replacable textures if you want Guldan's icon.

Replaced Collection Heroes:
Arthas with Sword - credit VictorZ his model has new Attacks, Stand and Cinematic Animations.

Paladin Judgment Set - credit Vindorei this replaces Halahk the Lifebinder. I added a spell effect and made the gold slightly brighter.

Lionheart Paladin - credit Fugrim this replaces the default Sir Gregory Edmonson. (Paladin Boss 2) The replaced paladin models are in a default folder if you want to switch back.

Mannoroth / Archimonde - Pitlord Azgalor it is now Mannoroth by default. Added spell effect and animations. Drag the icons into replacable textures if you want Archimonde's icon.

Made pictures for the collection tab along with credits. Unfortunately there's not a spot for DK or Firelord. I added the file path text because I know this will confuse people. Thank you guys for making these models! I hope more people can enjoy using them. All the heroes have Classic hero glow, Classic hit boxes, adjusted hp bar position, and are rescaled for melee.

How to Use New Skins:
Copy only the .mdx unit file to the folder of the unit you want to replace do not move any other files. For example, open "units/undead/evilarthas/lichking_deathknight" and copy UNDEADARTHAS.mdx and UNDEADARTHAS_PORTRAIT.mdx into the previous folder "units/undead/evilarthas" replacing the files in it.
Do this before starting WC3 or you have to restart the game for it to work. Backups of the original files are kept in the default folder so you can switch back by copy pasting into the main folder.

Location of News Skins:
units/undead/evilarthas/lichking_deathknight
units/orc/thrall/thrall_mountless
units/nightelf/malfurion/malfurion_mountless
units/nightelf/tyrande/tyrande_mountless
units/demon/pitlord/mannoroth & archimonde
units/creeps/heroflamelord/guldan_firelord

Unit Color: Lowered saturation of Pitlord, Archimonde, Tyrande, Malfurion, KotG and scarabs. KotG/Ghost normal map on the cloth redone. Thrall is slightly more green, added bracer armor back to his wolf and spell effects/weapon glow repositioned.

Portraits: Lich/KelThuzad special animation rarity increased. Night Elf and Undead unit portrait lighting blue value lowered. I suggest you use monitor settings to adjust the game lighting if needed.

Animations: Custom attack animations are now the same frame length as Classic for Death Knight, Default Pala attack 2, MK/Muradin attack 2 and KotG/Ghost attacks. Various clipping fixes. Magtheradon added animations and spell effects, now he runs and Mannoroth walks. Lordaeron tree branches no longer clip.

Bug Fixes: MK / Muradin thunder clap sound will no longer duplicate. Malfurion now has an animation for tranquility.

Does your collection skin choice get deselected after you restart the game? Make your skin choices and tab out to open Documents/Warcraft III/War3Preferences and keep this text file open. Now restart the game and after it loads close the text file. Now the skin should stay selected.

I would love to see some streamer games with either show matches but I'm curious if this is compatible with w3champions

W3C disabled Reforged graphics in 2024 afaik it's still turned off. It could be to protect themselves from Blizzard since they can't prove you didn't pirate HD or something I don't know. I was a few months into the project and wouldn't have started had I known that would happen. But bnet hasn't been too bad I appreciate getting some games vs pros like Lawliet, Infi when I wouldn't match them on w3c.

I started uploading pro games here. The latest ones are in 4k but I need to mess around with my recording settings more.

Almost done with another patch. 4 new heroes soon - Medivh, Kil'Jaeden, Sunstrider & Dawnseeker Elf Paladins.

Lionheart Icon - credit Fugrim

Units:
Water elementals remade with the animated texture by Blizzard that was never implemented. Added missing sounds and spell effects.
Uther has his default weapon again.
Sorceress and priest textures relinked so the ROC and TFT versions are different.
Size scaled slightly smaller - Arthas, Arthas with Sword, Dagren, Judgment, Lionheart, Jaina, huntress, and fiend.
Demon Hunter and Evil Illidan tattoos are black not team color and the skin tone is more saturated with purple instead of pink.
Default Thall spell effects fixed and weapon hero glow repositioned.
Alchemist enrage texture bug fixed.

Animations:
New attack 2 for Panda/Chen, Chaos Hellscream, and Cryptlord/Anubarak.

Missing blood effects and splats added to all heroes.

Sounds of weapons swings are now the same timing as Classic and not on the backswing or played twice or randomly in a stand.
Missing 2nd attack sounds added to Paladins, TCs, Blades, CLs, Pandas, Pitlords.
All Blade crit sounds now start at 0 which is wrong from a Classic point of view but why should the crit sound be 733 frames after it happens? Now it will play even if it kills the unit.
Lich King & Arthas with Sword given Deathknight attack sound. Arthas sword has different attack hit sounds for campaign and melee unfortunately I can't fix that.
Missing dissipate sounds added.

I will add the new banshee spell effect when Blizzard's ptr goes live.

Weapon glows were resized to fit Reforged models better and some were removed.

I think the graphics look blurry so I'm using Reshade for sharpening.
Reshade Download: Home
Select the game path: Program Files (86)\Warcraft III\ _retail _\x86_64\Warcraft III.exe
Choose “Direct3D 10/11/12”
Select the effect packages "Standard effects" "Sweet FX by CeeJay.fx"
Start the game and hit the HOME key to see Reshade options. There are many options just beware of the FPS changes for some of them.
The only settings I use are LUMA Sharpen set to 1 and Levels to make it slightly brighter. Pick the strength you like and check "performance mode" at the bottom.

Next is making a final trailer since youtube compressed the last one to shit. I'm aiming for one replay a week now that the mod is more polished.
v2.0 was reuploaded since Vol'jin health bar wasn't synced. Completely forgotten about until I try to sleep...
Just download it below if you already got v2.0 replace in units/orc/rokhan/voljin_shadowhunter

Open "units/human/herohalahk/ThalorienDawnseeker_paladin" and copy HEROHALAHK.mdx and HEROHALAHK_PORTRAIT.mdx into the previous folder "units/human/herohalahk" overriding the herohalahk.mdx and herohalahk_portrait.mdx files in it. If you did that then I think this is the issue:

There's a setting in Reforged main menu > Gameplay > Use Skins make sure that is turned on and then select the skin in the collection tab.

Understood, I now see the skin in-game, but I am wondering if his voice comes-with as well, or if he will keep souding like a human paladin. Thanks a lot.

I will add the priest voice option in the next update. He doesn't have a unique one unfortunately.

I am still trying to get the skins and such to work (would love some help with the voiceovers, I really don't know if there's voices for all skins or just the 2 or 3 mentioned?), but I needed to give this feedback just in case it has not been mentioned:
units/orc/rokhan/voljin_shadowhunter
units/undead/herolichcin/kelthuzad_necromancer
These 2 are not present, the folders are nowhere to be found.

Also, if I deactivated those awful classic icons (at least in my eyes) and returned to reforged ones by renaming the replaceabletextures folder with .old at the end, how do I go about activating icons for each skin included? I cannot place them in that folder anymore evidently. Please let me know, and also if you can provide some assistance with the voices. Thanks in advance, regards.

Gul'dan voice (located in units/creeps/heroflamelord/guldan_firelord/guldan_sounds) copy to heroflamelord
Medivh voice (located in units/human/heroarchmage/medivh_sounds) copy to heroarchmage
Kel'Thuzad and Necromancer voices (located in units/undead/herolich/kelthuzad_sounds and kelthuzad_necromancer_sounds) copy to herolich

These 4 folders aren't there either.

You haven't downloaded the latest version it seems.

Those are the only custom voices. In the future I will add priest to paladin, and Lich King from HotS soon.

To delete icons follow install guide "Changing the mod" what folders to delete, you don't need to call it OLD and keep it if you don't want them.
Then just remake those folders with the same structure replaceabletextures/commandbuttons and commandbuttonsdisabled then put the custom icons in there.

This should be the original remaster tbh, its free too btw, lemonskystudios should take notice lmao!

Latest Update v 2.1 Campaign Fixes and Added Portaits, More Custom Voices, Texture and Model Fixes

New Custom Voices
Lich King sounds from HotS (located in units/undead/herodeathknightX) rename folder to herodeathknight
Priest sounds for the Elf Paladins (located in units/human/heropaladin/Elf_Paldin_Sounds) copy to heropaladin

Campaign
All unit facefx were removed. They were bugging and not necessary since there are other projects that focus on cinematics, maybe it will even help fps. I suggest you show portraits in the absence of lip sync. In Menu > Options > Gameplay > Show Portraits in Cinematics.
Added about all the portraits of units and buildings you control and units that speak. High Elves, Towers, Fel Orcs, Draenei, Naga, ships.
knight cinematic flickering geoset alphas fixed.
banshee cinematic flickering geoset alphas fixed.
malganis bleed particle removed for campaign.
guldan spell effect and team glow removed for campaign.
Removed fel hellscream "cinematic stand spin" to stop random spinning in cinematics.
human sylvanas weapon glow in cinematic fixed.
evil sylvanas deleted SPNxNBAR blood from appearing when shes talking. FYI all blood attachments made like that are bugged, if a random blood appears it will have to be remade with the particle.
Those were the only glaring issues that I can fix.

Units
Grunt pauldron and animation redone.
Wisp replaced with HD version added Classic particles for the missing lumber effect. This was done because the default popcornfx is bugged and leaves a long trail.
thrall wolf head mesh gap fixed
water elementals more animation clipping fixes
guldan hair clipping on attack fixed
dk cloak logo cleaned up
Removed hair clipping in hood from evil sylvanas
Bloodmage spell effect and Lich King eye particle texture alpha redone to not show edges, no idea why the blps weren't rendering right.
More leaves added to 2 lordaeron trees
Infernal, Mannoroth and Magtheridon green fire added to eyes
Hero Pitlord beard and horn texture updated, fire added to eyes
Cenarius UV gaps in back are smaller I couldn't fix all of it. Default hair color restored, keeperghost beard redone.
Hero weapon glow rezied to be more subtle for all DHs, Mks, Malfurion, Elf Paladins and Thrall.
Added Reforged Icon for Saurfang - credit Vulfar
All custom textures were re-exported to fix any alpha issues.

Buildings
In default townhalls if you didn't see it start to transform it would disappear fully when revealed. I adjusted the starting transitions for Human and Orc but it's not perfect. These are a nightmare to change and test. The only complete fix as far as I can tell is to remove the transition which looks bad compared to the fade.
Leaves on the Tree of Life and Ages no longer disappear when starting the upgrade.

This project is now in a very good spot with so many fixes and features I had wanted.

Enjoy

Is it possible to have this mod and kenshin classic + installed at the ssme time? Im imagining being able to toggle between the mods, since kenshin is updated classic and this updated reforged. I dont know if either one is overriding the other one or if there is some conflict

Hi, I just tried a few folder structures but I don't think it's possible as an in game toggle. The game registers from the same folders.

The easiest way to make a toggle it is to create two folders to keep each project separate and then cut and paste the contents from the one you want active into the retail folder.

2.1.1 update small changes not necessary to redownload just for these: Added glow particles to eyes of Shadowhunter, Rokhan and Vol'jin units not just the portraits. Updated Voljin's spell animation to grab ward object from his back.

I just finished a cinematic trailer to show the added models from the community and new voice lines. I figured one last trailer would be in order after another 8 months of work. Like the video if you do, the mod won't reach players without that.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

v 2.1.2 update Sorry for another small upload the reason is various sanity test fixes for the new units I missed. The only noticeable issue was broken lvl 2 water elemental mesh which is now fixed.
Reforged icon added for Lich King for those who prefer that style.
Good luck out there

Update v 2.2 - More Model Updates with Final Scaling of All Units, Classic Hero Glow Remade and Classic Icons Improved. The top post has updated pictures to show all the changes.

Classic Icons Improved: added from the project "Wacraft 3: Classic Remastered" Naguna messaged me and said I should include his icons. I think his work is much higher quality than Blizzard's ClassicHD. Also included his higher resolution Classic cursors and hero icons for the scorescreen. Check out his project which updates all Classic textures.

Fixed the issues of it switching to Reforged icons such as: Alchemist no longer switches after enrage, summons that level up and ethereal spirit walkers. Those that are Reforged should be intentional like the female dh/dk. Added Classic HD2 race icons for the scorescreen.

Final Unit Size: Checked all to fit better in the Classic silhouettes, obviously some models are different designs. Since Blizzard's previous patch changed the camera angle I could judge the scaling better. Some were scaled slightly, or just parts - I didn't list those changes.

Model Updates:
Acolyte updated texture and model added team color mesh to back.

Archer/hippo rider model updated, texture redone and animation fixes for rider.

All buildings should no longer flicker when they finish or die. Various fixes to make sure the animations loop, effects fixed, death updated for haunted goldmine. I gave the townhall transitions a final try, it doesn't disappear instantly like default, but I think the fog of war bug is unfixable.

Entangle goldmine leaves added, HD Wisp alpha made the same as classic, added HD wisps to goldmine and repositioned them.

Hippogryph texture updated, fixed orm holes.

Demon Hunter and Evil Illidan attack 2 updated and other cliping fixes.

Druid of the Talon and Storm Crow textures updated.

Banshee texture updated, lowered ghost glow amount, adjusted popcorn effects.

Cenarius texture fixed to not have holes.

Cenarius Nightmare portait clipping fixed.

Dragons all level 10s added, fixed the animation jumps between stand and attacks.

Firelord dissipate updated.

Forest troll priest hair fixed in decay.

Gargoyle stoneform death fixed.

Guldan firelord hitbox scaled up.

Hawk fixed line on model.

Huntress texture fixed to not have holes, updated armor color.

Ice Troll Priest decay fixed.

Kael portrait added hand back.

Kotg/Ghost attacks updated. Entangle color changed slightly.

Lich frost spell effect now only happens when a spell is cast instead of always. Added to Kel'Thuzad Necromancer version.

Makura snapper corpse texture fixed and blue decay fixed.

Spell breaker texture color updated to be brighter.

Naga/Vash portrait clipping fixed. Mesh strap removed.

Obsidian statue fixed death.

Ogre Lord mesh straps on back replaced to not clip through the model on attacks. Other animation clipping fixes to pants.

Owlbear decay fixed.

Penguin critter decay fixed.

Polar Furbolg Tracker decay fixed.

Potm dissipate arrow fixed.

Raider texture fixed to not have holes.

Raccoon added decay flesh and skeleton.

Rifleman cloak attack animation updated.

Rock golem, mud, moss, granite, and war all have much faster decay animations.

Shadow Hunter/Rokhan beard animations updated.

Serpent Ward textures updated to fix the line.

Tauren metal weapon removed from portrait.

Thrall moved weapon in run so it is a smoother transition to stand.

Thrall Mountless run animation updated and repositioned the weapon to be more like hots.

Vengeance spirit texture updated.

All Pitlords fire effect stays on while they're dying.

Added portrait lip animation to Mannoroth and Archimonde. Thank you Malmgrev for making a tutorial.

Water elementals birth and death animations updated to fade with the splash effect.

Environment: Tree stumps added that were missing for Lordaeron, Cityscape, Dalaran and Ruins trees. Tree trunk material fixed so it won't have holes in it, lordaeron tree textures slightly darker. Rally point on trees fixed. Flowers lowered in the grass.

Team Glow default is now a remade texture of Classic Glow. It was made to replace the pixelated edges of the classic texture. The folder "teamglowXsmall" is the smaller remade HD glow. If you remove/rename the "teamglow" folder entirely it uses the default ClassicHD texture which has pixelated edges so I don't recommend it. Some units had their glow size rescaled.

This is the final big update since it's in very good shape compared to the default game after years of constant free labor. I was able to change a lot that I didn't think would be possible. I'm sure I'll find minor things to do but I consider this project complete.

You did better than blizzard team

 

[ribasmudj]

Does anyone know why this is happening when I install the mod? The instructions are simple so there's nothing to mess up, and it does seem to work in-game, but it also comes with bright green boxes on the lower left and right side that never go away.

That sucks I've never seen that are you playing in 4k maybe? Try to revert the open UI to default: Open the folder "ui" and delete the folders "console" "framedef"

I thought it could be some weirdness with the in game menu "hud scale/ show side panels" but I can't reproduce your bug. Hope deleting the UI fixes it.

seems like alchemist and beastmaster don't have weapon glow.

I'll look into adding it for chemical rage. Beastmaster had it for a long time but it clashed too much with the weapon so I removed it.

 

[Dieu123]

This mod is another great effort for the Warcraft community. Thank you for your hard work, Mr/Ms.VisionMod.

 

[Mint Blancmanche]

off-topic but gotta ask, anyone hates the mushrooms? any chance they can be replaced with proper trees?
I tried renaming some scorched trees, but seems they have different size, so it cause errors about trees not being able to be replaced in some maps.

also the fixed trees in vision mod, looks great.

now that the ghoul has lighter skin color, gave him blighted lumber since he is harvesting blighted trees lol.

 

[IlBoss89]

Excellent Job

update 2.3 - model fixes

Alchemist Classic effects and glow added to chemical rage animations. Added spell effect to portrait as well.

Arcane Tower portrait clipping fixed. Adjusted the human tower birth/death which weirdly shrinks sometimes, but it's beyond my control.

Archmage animation clipping fixes.

Blademaster stand 2 weapon adjusted.

Ghoul lumber texture updated. Good idea Mint Blancmanche! I don't plan on changing any other tees unless they are added to the 1v1 map pool.

Added text how to remove the environment foliage for those who want the old terrain.

Mountain King/Muradin walk animation updated. Ice particle attachment for campaign removed because a bug happens where it appears in versus when it shouldn't.

Naga walk position fixed for walk and stand that was my mistake from trying (and failing) to fix the tail clipping into the ground.

Tyrande & Mountless replaced arrow with default PoTM arrow to match the projectile. Mountless size scaled smaller, (campaign and custom skins have different scaling for some weird reason) weapon was slightly repositioned and attacks are slightly faster.

Over 1200 people downloaded v2.2 that's quite a lot considering 3k are playing on w3c the past week.

 

[Naruga]

BTW you should advertise it on Reddit and other platform too.
Hive only makes up a small part of WC3 melee player

I was doing some trials on the water elemental xD
looks very watery in movement lol.

 

[Mirage]

Can you guys remodel the footman and knight.According to the original model the footman and knight suppose to wearing full metal boots with pointy toes.But in reforge they are wearing leather boots with some metal plate on it also it’s not pointy.This really ruined the whole armor set for the footman and knight.

So can you guys please remodel the footman and knight’s boot.

Update v 2.4 New Portrait Lighting, Textures Updated, Bug Fixes

Portrait Lighting: Added directional lights to give all the portraits more shadows. Changed some camera angles and fixed any frozen animation bugs.

Skin added: Default Warden located in "Units/NightElf/Maiev/Warden_Watcher" with fixes for death animation, missing splats and sounds.

Units:
Warden/Maiev missing spell effect added and model scaled slightly smaller.

Night Elves skin tone hue shifted from bright pink to more lavender for Archer, Huntress, PotM, Tyrande, DH, Dryad, Druid of the Claw, Druid of the Talon and Malfurion.

Lava Spawns - Missing emissives added to all portraits. Added the classic hit box and HP bar position, these were the last units in 1v1 without that. Level 3 scaled bigger and added the animated emissive.

Archmage weapon glow scaled smaller.

Death Knight added goatee.

Footman texture updated and raised the back of the boot I made. If I raise it more it clips and I don't plan on changing the knight. I suggest people look in the model section or learn to make the changes they want if they are not pleased.

Gnoll Assassin texture is darker.

KotG/Ghost leaves added to portrait.

Naga/Vashj dissipate updated.

Lich/Kel'Thuzad face is less yellow.

Shade changed smoke effect to Classic because the Reforged popcorn is bugged leaving a trail across the whole screen like wisps. I didn't include the Classic black trail because it looked bad.

Serpent Wards are now transparent.

Shadow Hunters kept the glowing eyes but removed the light trail.

Black stag critter texture updated.

Phoenix Egg portrait added it doesn't look like that even works in Classic...

Trees: Lordaeron summer, winter and dalaran colors updated. I don't want to keep changing the tree color so hopefully these changes will match the tilesets better.

Bug Fixes:
Mur'Gul creeps on Tidehunters fixed decay to not flicker. Added missing blood splats and repositioned.

Murloc blood splats repositioned to be under the corpse.

Druid of the Claw missing footprints added to caster form and repositioned for bear form.

Druid of the Talon blood splat added.

Tuskar Fighter hat texture fixed.

Thrall Mountless added footprints for walk animation.

Fixed broken chest attachment for Medivh, Forest and Ice Troll Berserkers, Warlords, Trappers. This means spells like Rejuvenation will no longer be invisible on these units.

Update v 2.4 New Portrait Lighting, Textures Updated, Bug Fixes

Trees: Lordaeron summer, winter and dalaran colors updated. I don't want to keep changing the tree color so hopefully these changes will match the tilesets better.

I got a question, are these tree changes made thinking on 2.0 cartoony trees or old(1.36) tileset?
I'm using old tileset and tweaked your trees textures from 2.3 to fit better the old tileset.

 

[VisionMod]

are these tree changes made thinking on 2.0 cartoony trees or old(1.36) tileset?

The texture colors are made to match the 2.0 tilesets the file paths and pictures are in the top post showing how they can be changed. The trees were remodeled after Classic using 1.36 tree models. The files replace both textures/models so it works for 2.0 and old terrain. Glad you have made what you want.

Also, the messages from you about the gargoyle texture looked better as default are really not my business. You can delete what you don't want in less keypresses than sending that. It's not like my taste will be the same as everyone's for the 250 building and 1382 unit files, peace.

 

[VisionMod]

v2.5 Update - Building Portraits lowered the brightness to better match the units. Repositioned portraits for entangle gold mine, ancient of wonders, ziggurat, slaughterhouse.

Apologies if you just downloaded 2.4 but this should be better.

 

[JCarrill0]

I thought this was answered before, but I can't remember.
Can this be used along side Warcraft III: Reforged – Classic+ Mod?

It is for Reforged graphics only. You could mix and match what you wanted from each mod potentially but I wouldn't recommend it.

Ok, that makes sense. What about Warcraft 3 Classic Remastered, I do notice some of their work in your Vision Mod.
