Warcraft III - Patch 1.27b

[moyackx]

My shitty (and in a hurry) revision about the new patch: Wacraft III: has been updated... again (Patch 1.27b is live) - Blizzard Modding Information Center

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

Hopefully, raising the map size limit will revitalize Altered Melee Race Maps.

Where to download it since i cant on battle.net?

 

[edo494]

Does that mean that we can host files that are > 8mb on Battle.net now?

yes, all the way to 128 mb

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Surely, thanks for supporting that, guys, yet where's your actual net value? Like, there's 3 pages of pure BUGS, not even talking about new things.
Nothing. Yet another year passed out. And some people so stubborn believing that something may return old players? trololo.

Way to kill the mood.

Just so you know: they seemed to have actually stealth-fixed some bugs that are NOT mentioned in the patchlog, for example, the command button stacking is gone (unfortunately, this also breaks our only method to hide the patrol and hold position commands).

So I guess they fixed a lot more stuff than just what is mentioned in the patchlog. Its up to us to find out what, though.

 

[Flux]

yes, all the way to 128 mb

Finally, HQ hentai maps right Ralle?

fixing not broken stuff? lol
can't imagine more not-asked-for fix than ability to fucking hide icons. and it's now gone. wonderful!

Now wait, didn't I write exactly the same thing, on the previous page of this thread?

It wasn't my map! It just happened to show up in my profile after the import .

Hey, wondering if I could get some help. I'm from spain, so I would like to get the patch in spanish, but in the european spanish equivalent of the page you linked (Parchear Juegos Clásicos) I only get 1.27a

 

[redmarine]

This is a huge change. Are you aware of a reason for this huge change? I heard some rumors back that Blizzard are hiring staff to work on "classic" Blizzard games, and I'm interpreting that as meaning they will add them to the Battle.net Client. Hopefully this change is a reflection on that.

 

[Tleno]

Getting SC2 modding back on track? I am busy with university at the moment but I REALLY need to create a bunch of tutorials just to showcase the full potential of the editor once I'm free.

never saw doom being in top-10 twitch games. just like heroes 3, thats cool game with many forkes, but barely catch 100+ players daily. u wish wc3 share the same fate?

Is Twitch top-10 the only metric that matters to you? I mean seriously, there were so many new competitive-centric games released over more than a decade - Overwatch, Heartstone, Counter-Strike: GO, Paragon, Dota 2, League of Legends - do you really expect a good albeit old title to remain afloat in top-10 for so long?! That's a very narrow scope, especially considering when even big recent releases like Battleborn get way less attention than these old titles, and yet the classics are still played to this day.

Does that mean that we can host files that are > 8mb on Battle.net now?

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

 

[DracoL1ch]

Is Twitch top-10 the only metric that matters to you?

thats the matter of your expectation. this game deserves to be on top, yet struggling surviving. if you're fine with 100 people playing closes once in a week, Im definitely not

 

[Tleno]

So, what are you gonna do about this? Pessimistically rant about how it's not played enough on forums? Surely you can do more than that.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It appears that one cannot hide icons anymore by giving a stupid command card offset. This thread mentions it.

Right, so... why did Blizzard remove this?!

gonna tell you that blizz doesnt even try while their worship slaves keep claiming their as gods. thats simple.

 

[Tleno]

gonna tell you that blizz doesnt even try while their worship slaves keep claiming their as gods. thats simple.

And... how is that going to help game become more popular? Don't you think people you call "worship slaves" may be the game's core fanbase and by disrupting any sort of visibility of active fanbase you'll just leave Blizzard convinced the game is dead for good and there's zero reason to bother with it?

Seriously, the Blizzard old game team is small. You can't deliver top notch quality control and high production pace when understaffed - just look at team Fortress 2 updates or any other project that while maintained is not company's priority and top income source anymore.

yet doom been fetched to top-tier game by solo enthusiasts. wc3 have JNPG made purely by fans. chinese guys have their own editor with lua, blackjack and whores, even autocomplete BLP-factory now. and only Blizz can't do shit 'cause understaffed. ffs its silliest reason I even heard. There's many fans with aknowledge and even experience, how bout taking them to QA, or directly to code? NDA, w/e, to make finally game ready?

and all they do is silently watch out? I doubt they ever visit this place. As been said at forums of classic team, slow progress isn't killing wc3, silence of developers does.

to add to this, there is most definitely only one classic games team, but there are at very least 5 classic games, even if we drop diablo 1 and wc1, we still have 3 games to maintain by single team of like what, 10 ppl? you(not you Tleno) cant and shouldnt expect them to be 24/7 sitting on wc3

Thank you! May I ask how did you find these, so I don't have to ask again next year with 1.28?

fine, so you just stated company thrown piece of shit onto shovel and drop it onto the fan because they dont care about those games. thats only reason you would split your workers between multiple projects at once. dont speak things you aren't aware of

 

[Kacpa2]

It's just a minor bug fixing and general maintenance. It's not THE patch. :c

What about other limits? Map size, amounts of doodads and destructibles, tiles? Cant we just get official Unlimited WE?

 

[pyf]

Thank you! May I ask how did you find these, so I don't have to ask again next year with 1.28?

You're welcome.

I replaced 'a' with 'b' in your download links.

 

[Jocker]

As soon as this goes up on eurobattle.net I am going to fucking party.This gives me reasons to continue my map developing.

 

[Tharifas]

You're welcome.

I replaced 'a' with 'b' in your download links.

Either you are genius or I'm an idiot. Thank you anyway!

 

[Eagle XI]

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH

finally, the limit gets updated.

 

[neven1]

It's okay i guess >.>

 

[Screamernail]

I can't get this patch. For some reason i can't get any patch!

It say's that something(Which i can't remember right now) can't be found. But i'm pretty sure it is there.

II reinstaled the game but still nothing. A-little quick help please?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Right, so... why did Blizzard remove this?!

Possibly it worked by doing something unsafe?

Well it helps if you describe the exact error message, right now you're just "My car broke down, help!", when one of your car tires are out of air.

 

[A]mun]

Super cool!

 

[Dr Super Good]

Does it say the page cannot be found? In such a case then you might be IP banned from the Blizzard servers, usually as a result of a malicious attack coming from your IP range (can be anyone on your ISP caused it).

Try logging into BattleNet and getting it from there.

@IcemanBo, try War3Patch.mpq not war3.mpq ;P... but I already diffed common.j, common-ai.j, blizzard.j, triggerstrings.txt and triggerdata.txt and there were no changes (I am pretty sure).

And everyone else's.

Wc3x.mpq is never found. And it refuses to be found.

And i usually get hacked in battle.net so maybe i shouldn't work with Warcraft 3 at all if i can't even get patches.

 

[mrwhite-]

So does this mean, that modders can use high quality models for their custom games?

I do not know, if I have seen this job position before, but apparently they are looking for a Senior Artist for the classic games team: Senior Artist - Art/Animation/Sound

Does this mean, that we might see the possibility of HD remake in the future?

 

[Holymind]

WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU BLIZZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, wc3 uses very old engine and may crash in case of polygon overflow

This is the time.

[Eat_Bacon_Daily]

Ever since the patch this is all I see in the Battle.net games list

 

[Tleno]

Yeah that's a possibility but I wonder what, I mean, I'm kinda used to community discovering exploits and vulnerabilities long before Blizz does.

A single artist? I'm not sure if that's enough. Surely they can reassign some artists from other teams, but can't say for sure.
