Warcraft 3 - Sc2 Map

[Levdragon]

Hey,

I was thinking of buying starcraft 2 make a wc3 map since I really love medieval games . Due to sc2 being newer then wc3, obviously it would the better choice for mapmaking. So my question here today is would a sc2 conversation of wc3 work? Those of you who have played a grand strategy game in wc3 like azeroth wars and daow my question is, would a sc2 conversion be any good?

Plenty of future games in wc3 are popular so I'm guessing they will also be good in sc2? A problem of course would be models/skins but we can work around that

Try joining Wc4. just look in the sc2 section.

 

[Levdragon]

Yes but I'm looking to create a grand strategy map, not a campaign.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It's a full conversion, campaigns, melee mode, etc... The former is the last thing on the list.

 

[Levdragon]

Oh, so this isn't just a campaign, but a mod?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Essentially, yes. Were looking for members, if your interested, as TWIF pointed out.

 

[Levdragon]

Hrm, this will take a very long time to make though :/ I'm looking to finish my project in a year.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Yes, but we will release the melee mode before we begin work on the campaigns.

The resources alone will take longer than a year to come by, without a team of modellers I would presume...?

 

[Levdragon]

Hrm... you have me thinking O_O.

But will that many people even download the modification? Will it be playable along with vanilla sc2, that would a bonus to many people.

We have no plans whatsoever, to alter the MPQ's or .dll's etc of the game.

We are doing this all through excessive GE/Mod pack use. (as supported by the GE and Battle.net) The campaigns, will be packaged as such and the melee maps will be distributed alone, unless 'map packs' are supported.

So in effect, it is a series of maps, anyone can download one 'mod pack' (Assuming BNET 2.0 is setup how we currently presume) from BNET and then play any of our melee maps and/or campaigns at their own pace.

If, however, it does make more sense to do so, that would be a good idea...
