Warcraft: A New Dawn

[The World Is Flat]

Check out some threads n the forum, there are requests for you.

(if you want, you could always be a formal member of the team.)

 

[Dragonson]

KK taylor.
I'l draw a sketch once i get to a working printer.
Should be sometime laterh today.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

This is quite an impressive project, I'd have to say. I hope it'll turn out better than expected!

People actually have expectations for this?







But really, as Cyber said thank you for the support ^.^ it means a lot!

 

[Vosty]

Just thought I should ask this:
Can Blizzard sue you for using their trademarked characters and stuff? Isn't it also illegal to mod the game, because you break the User-License Agreement?
Also, do you have the programmer to actually make the mod (Work the .dll's and mpq's)

Don't want to be a pest, but also don't want you all to lose your money. =D

1, Yes, but they don't. If they did, the community would create a hole big enough to kick Blizzard from the top.
2, Mod, as in change the way the game acts IS indeed illegal. Modifying models though, is not. See, Application Editing breaks the EULA, while changing a few models and editing some stuff isn't illegal. You can actually have your own game, without Blizz above your head.
3, **, no, you don't edit the DLLs, only MPQs. And MPQ editing is simple as in CLICK CLICK CLICK.

 

[Turminator8]

I'm pretty sure it's only illegal if you sell it... as long as we don't sell the mod we are breaking any laws.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It's not illegal... why would they include things like importers? -.-

The only thing they can pull us on is MPQ editing (we don't plan to do that atm anyway) and of course, calling it WcIV.

But looking at it from a greedy companies point of view (i.e Blizzard) they'll probably wave a hand but force us to make it premium and give them 99% of the cash :/

 

[Tharkas]

Well, that leaves 1% to us, and due to the awesomeness that our WCIV will irradiate, that means... aproximately... three billion USD for every team meber?

 

[real138]

wow thats $45 billion for the team... so blizzard is gonna own the world

 

[Turminator8]

lol and then sure us for our 1%

 

[Statharas]

^^
Oh!
Thank you for the info.
I don't know why I thought you edited the DLL's, must of been something I heard when those people were making the Fall of Draenor mod here.

So it is illegal, but you are going to do it anyways. I don't mind that you are breaking the law, I just wanted to know.

Still, we aren't gonna do anything illegal. DLL hacking and changing Starcraft's MPQs IS illegal. Modding them isn't. The mod is in a separate MPQ (.SC2MOD)

 

[Grey Nightmare]

FREE BEER... Yeah you know the drill!
1. Stop spamming pointless messages now please.
2. There is no need for CCP if your a team member considering you already get ALL those privileges and more!
3. Dentothor I'm sure TWIF will give you a spot regardless if there is a place or not, your work does you more than enough credit.

 

[Dragonson]

Yup. TWIF has more than once expressed that he'd very much like you on the team Denethor.

 

[Statharas]

Shouldn't we make a thread called Team Worldcraft?
Y'know, discussions.

Anyway, i need to know how the coders are doing on the buff trees.
Keep in mind that one of you must create a hero selection window.

[Statharas]

Just a small question. Who is working on my UI at the momment? Coz seriously. I don't know who is.

 

[Dentothor]

i love how im not even on any of the staff lists atm >.<

 

[Turminator8]

i love how im not even on any of the staff lists atm >.<

Lol I'm just getting a list of the newly added members don't worry you're most definitely NOT forgotten.

 

[M0rbid]

But the first post in this thread is quite outdated, too

 

[real138]

uhm im only working on Wc4 UI since im working at a slow pace due to the injury... will be fine in a week i think though. Its taking me longer to do since I have to do my own UI....

 

[Grey Nightmare]

I think at 100 pages, we really should request a clean up -.-'

Please guys, for simple stuff, that the majority of thw members won't want to know... like when your meeting to talk - use our forums. It's out of the way. Leave this thread for important discussion of public interest

 

[Cenurick_Druidhorn]

Well since it seems my other project has folded. I could work on the soundtrack for you guys if you wish? If you wish to hear some of my work before making a decision, do let me know.

 

[Turminator8]

We'd love to hear what you've got.. Send it the The World Is Flat or submit it at our forums.

 

[Statharas]

Oooh, is he gonna join in for wc4 only, or is he gonna stay and help the other maps as well?

 

[real138]

Moocher jk hehe wow sc4 were not even at sc2 yet and you want people for your projects in sc4
Yeah would be awesome for more than just wc4 and join worldcraft.

[Statharas]

Check out this nifty video i made!

 

[Gallin]

So will how you play one campaign affect how the others turn out?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

No, at the moment the campaign structure is to stay very true to the wc3 one, so each race will follow and you will play events in a chronological order. Of corse, like a lot of things this is still subject to change. Would you prefer campaigns to impact one another?

 

[Gallin]

Well it would add some repeatable value to the game. Perhaps you could save a town or instead bypass it but later in the campaign you might have to battle in that area again but instead of having an ally you have a town burnt to the ground. Stuff like that. it would be nice not necessarily needed but cool none the less. It would be nice to see that your actions in the campaign somehow impact the world around it. Not you just beat a level and if you beat it no matter how the game is exactly the same as if you beat it a dramatically different way.

 

[Turminator8]

I agree with Gallin on this... it might be hard to do, but something to definitely look into.

 

[Gallin]

Do you know how many resources will be used?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

We toyed with the idea of adding one, but at the moment it appears we have also decided to follow the simplistic system found in Warcraft III, wood, gold and food.

Don't take my word for it though, I'm not a major designer.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

I think we should add one, or at least look into it

 

[Statharas]

Well, i nudged Twif to allow us to use a custom resource for TBL, but he refused. We need the public to make him want that resource.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Well ofc he's going to say 'no' to a race-specific resource that's a balance nightmare if there ever was one.

 

[real138]

yeah... balancing that is going to be hell. Plus there is no need to do it... I personally don't think its worth it.

 

[Gallin]

So about how long after the events of wc3 is this?

 

[Tharkas]

We must still decide that, but between 2 and 5 years.

 

[Turminator8]

@Gallin

Hey, thanks for showing so much interest in our project, and if you have any more questions or comments please post them at our forums.

 

[real138]

hey guys i think it would be a good idea if someone who has a good knowledge of the lore and nitpicky stuff get on the forum chat. as in worldcraft chat not hive. gallin has some questions

 

[Gallin]

Also I dont really see the place to post on the worldcraft website

 

[Grey Nightmare]

http://worldcraft.hordestudio.com/social/forumdisplay.php?f=79

-Well pointed out, we didn't really have anywhere... sorted.

 

[Gallin]

Posted some suggestions on the forum one has a picture!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Thanks for your curiosity.

Wc4's first campaign takes place 2 years after wc3. The last could end anywhere from 3-30 years. or longer.

 

[Statharas]

Twif, if we consider stuff that happened in wow, from 2003 to now, it's at least 7 years D:

Unless you plan on recreating the Burning Crusade events.

 

[Reaper51]

This word is final: Absolutely NO WOW LORE in WC4.
WOW F**ked up the original storyline so WC4 will be avoided it completely and will start fresh after the end of the frozen throne!

 

[Fussiler1]

Hey guys, sorry I've been so long inactive, damn exams and such, but am I fired or can I start working on that Night-Elf lore?

 

[Statharas]

Who's that guy D:?

Plus, We could just alter stuff that happened in WoW. Like, The lich king was partly defeated, so we could create Wc4, The return of the Lich King or something >.>
Illidan managed to escape by opening a portal to the twisting nether.

We could do that.



Yes, i know twif is gonna say, "NO, STFU"
