Warcraft III - Patch 1.29 PTR

[FSB]

Omg soo hyped

 

[pOke]

So amazing. Does this pretty much guarantee a Remastered WC3?

 

[Ketho]

Can't wait for 24 player Uther Party

 

[A]mun]

What the hell!

Gotta scrutinize the things first, but this seems crazy in all the right ways!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm simply amazed that Blizzard put in so much work into a W3 patch <3

All that's left to say is just - THANK YOU!

P.S. A silly question... What does the "increased object limit" mean? Is it for doodads, units, etc. all all types of objects?

 

[WhiteFang]

bruh

 

[Raised]

• SetEventDamage; takes real damage returns nothing // Modify EVENT_UNIT_DAMAGED event damage

My personal thank you!

 

[PurgeandFire]

seriously amazing stuff! couldn't even focus on getting any work done today, was pretty much falling out of my seat in shock with all the awesome changes!

24 players for custom maps. Did anybody say Funmap Evening Event!

Can't wait to see which maps are made or getting updates to support this.

pls. we need someone to organize this. it'll be amazing!

24-player map contest anyone?

 

[Tauer]

This is incredible! I'm always amazed that Blizzard still supports a 16 year old game.

- Lighting in warcraft3 is horrible. We want something better! specially when it comes to casted shadows.

This. So much this. Real time shadows would make a huge difference for the visuals. I'm of the opinion that we don't really need a complete remaster of the game. Improving the lighting and shaders, and maybe upping the resolution of the textures would go a long way. The great thing about the WCIII art style is that it doesn't really age. Resolution and lighting does though.

 

[APproject]

One word: crazy.

 

[datsatthune]

Revolution!

Look like wc3 finally suport 16:9 screen. Can you test it in 21:9 ratio, does the UI still suport?

 

[Sapprine]

Oof, now i cant play... I'm having a hearth attack

 

[JMitchy]

Just as I get back into doing work on my campaign, hallelujah!

 

[Misha]

.. our models/textures are still compatible.. right?

 

[Warseeker]

• SetHeroProperName; takes unit whichUnit, string name returns nothing

I can finally rest in peace!

 

[LordDz]

Uther Party 24 player mayhem, here we go!

 

[Tauer]

Definitely. This isn't a remaster, it's just a patch. I've already tried testing some of the new team colors on my models.

 

[WaterKnight]

Cannot wait for the ingame player communication: "help us, maroon", " indigo got fed by pink", "I meant rose".

Were 16 textures not possible before outside of WE?

 

[LordDz]

Before: FFS LEAVE UR LAGGING THE GAME. *Drop player window pops up for a few secs, goes away* <<-- repeat 5 times.
Now: Drop player window: The Simulator

I hope people limit the unit count in 24 player maps, as the graphics tend to bug out when theres too many units on screen.

But if used well there can be some really cool maps. Dota 1 with 22 players is going to be a craze.

 

[SMBComix]

Ooooo, sweet!

 

[TriggerHappy]

It was possible before (outside of WE).

 

[DaneTheBeast]

The game has RAM and fps issues with 12 players so idk how it can hold up with 24. Guess we'll have to keep the games short :’D

I don't think that's true.

 

[Whitewolf8]

This is amazing. definitely something to make me consider returning to doing stuff. 24 players really seems so unreasonable, but I love it anyway, haha.

 

[bear_369]

Holy fuck that's one heck of an update especially with the editor one.
If this is fully released, it's a fuckfest xD

 

[A Void]

24 players? Wow... Now that was unexpected. Melee maps were already a nightmare with maximum players, but this will bring "chaos" to another level. I'm most happy about widescreen resolutions and team colors! We also need an option to edit team colors via a map, not mpq.

Perfect update! !!

 

[millzy]

these updates are so good

some of those natives really open things up

but increase of max food count to 999 max players to 24...LAG LAG CITY
there now really needs to be some kind of update so wc3 can handle that amount of chaos

 

[Idaero Ace]

YYYYEEEEEEAAAAASSHSHAAHSHSHASH!!
Just an useless comment, don't mind this.

whoa, now i can manipulate abilities event more!!
I guess i really need to buy Warcraft 3 now

 

[Marcell]

This sounds hectic. I hope they put some campaigning and advertisements out for this patch to bring back a few thousand players. Would love for War3 to be mainstream again. Can't wait to test people's 24 player maps.

P.S: Plus 1million rep for anyone that makes 24 player pudge wars mayhem

24 man uthers party here we go

Actually -- more players has to mean more team colors are coming right?

 

[Abovegame]

They are afaik.

 

[A Void]

They are already here.

 

[tomoraider]

24 players! Widescreen! Amazing!

 

[Blasterixx]

I am so HYPED! WAR3 Forever baby!

 

[Tauer]

I am unbelievably hyped over the inclusion of white team color. Brings back the old WCII memories

 

[Zephyrius2412]

JUST AWESOME !!!

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

I want to pick pink color!!!

 

[The Panda]

Gonna start creating a 24 player map soon i hope everything goes ok! Really hyped on all the colors even though some may blend in the minimap somtimes ..

 

[deepstrasz]

I just hope I ain't dying too soon.

=============================

About them playahs and over 100 food. Has the big unit in a map staggering issue been resolved?

Each player still has the same food limit - 100. There should be no lag per player. The difference is that modders can now increase the limit more than it was supported and the unit staggering wasn't an issue - it was pathing. Pathing calculation makes units stagger, however I was able to find a workaround to it.. i might release a video of 10000+ units moved flawlessly at the same time.

 

[Avahor]

omg this is disturbingly amazing!!!..
that Op limit increase...
that max players increase...
that wide screen...
that...
that..
tha..

 

[Shar Dundred]

I cannot help it but the player number & color is the most important for me - second to the limits.

Whatever the cause. It has to be fixed one way or the other. So, help the community out with it.

 

[mattman111]

Had to dust off my account so I could post. Want to get back into modding with the new patch, any guides on helping people get back into the groove?

 

[Svetli]

Amazing. ^^

 

[Blackcat]

Hyped. Hope they'll bring it to the launcher when the bugs are gone. Should bring in some new players.

 

[WaterKnight]

But creeps already hold black team color and was it not white for no owner or so?

 

[Idaero Ace]

Some more color, from TriggerHappy's post on first page.

edit: wtf this thread got ton a new reply within seconds o.o

I guess 24 players aren't made for melee maps. I guess, now you can choose the colour of creeps from any of those.
