Warcraft IV - The Edge of Eternity

So when is that bug with loading the game getting fixed?
And will it automatically update through the launcher or is a re-download required?

So when is that bug with loading the game getting fixed?

As soon as we can. It's a really tough bug because it is unrelated to the coding itself, and is a problem that lies within the W4L injector.

And will it automatically update through the launcher or is a re-download required?

When the patch is ready you can just start the Client and it will automatically update itself.

Desperately need Modellers!

Hello guys, we are calling for desperate measures. We NEED modellers as soon as possible or else beta will be delayed immensely. One of our main modellers and texturers has left the project, and without them we CANNOT progress. Please, if you have any modelling skills, join us to make this project a reality. We are a kind team that works together nicely, anyone who joins will be welcomed.

 

[Deolrin]

I would attempt to apply, but I'm a novice modeler and... I generally suck. So I'd rather not.

Also you could just bump your project recruitment thing, I mean more than two days has passed.

 

[AIagremm]

You're a novice modeller?! If youäre a novice modeller then I am a proffesional JASSer

 

[Linaze]

If he isn't novice, what is he?

 

[AIagremm]

Personally I think he is professional.

Hello everyone!

A new major patch for the Beta Client has arrived which adds several new features that improve the overall quality of the program. We'd be very happy if you could test it out and give us extra feedback in this thread. To install the newest patch, simply start up the Client and it will ask you to download it. Press yes and it will give you a change-log and restart the client for you. Here is a list of the changes:

========================================
Warcraft IV: Edge of Eternity Change Log
========================================

v0.15.20.2 (05 April 2010)

Added few new images (includes new text font).

Fixed a bug which added a delay with the hover image. Before,
if you hovered your mouse over the "Ok", "Yes", or "No" buttons
they would have a slight delay in image change.

Changed font for the news box.

Added options menu.

Added music.

We appreciate and value any feedback given. If you haven't already installed the client you can download it here.

Thanks in advanced,

~ Eternal Designs ~

 

[Trilby]

Nice.
In the options menu, the word "Language" Overlaps the selection bar.

 

[kingbdogz]

Hmm, that's really strange. It seems your computer doesn't support the font we are using, which is actually a lot sleeker and smaller. We'll try fix this

 

[Trilby]

I'm using a Vista, if that helps D:

 

[kingbdogz]

Okay hot-fix is made, download the patch and tell me if it is working now

 

[Deolrin]

Hmm. It looks better, music has some annoying parts.
But it's overall very sweeet. Also whenever there is a new version the "Do you want to download" confirmation window doesn't go to the top of all programs, it remains hidden until I select it from the "Start" toolbar... thing.

And there is a "This version is invalid and could not be loaded!" thing.

 

[Trilby]

And there is a "This version is invalid and could not be loaded!" thing.

It says that on mine too, except it says, "This version is invalid and my not be started"

Uploaded a new version, and that one was bugged... This one should do it! v0.16.20.3

Thanks, no one seen that one.

Client: Languages needed!

Hello reader,

I'd like you to help me with making the Warcraft IV Client better than it is!

We want to add languages but, I'm only Dutch, and I only speak Dutch and English. And that's the part where I need you to help us!

Please read/apply here!

We're Searching for:
German (Deutch)
Spanish (Español)
French (Français)
Russian (Русский)

Don't forget that you must know English to help us to the max!

 

[MusicDemon]

Client: Languages needed!

Double post, please remove.

 

[emolilolee]

Hmm. It looks better, music has some annoying parts.

I made the music for this, but do you think it's anoying because of the loop glitch or because you generally not like it?

 

[takakenji]

for some reason i cant log on, i put in the code and do "enter realm", yet nothing happens.

 

[supertoinkz]

yus, pressed enter realm and a cmd.exe blinks (opened and closed). Then the music turned off and the password became empty.

I retyped the password, enter realm, still doesn't work.
(i use Vista)

 

[indomitable1319]

can someone please send me the pic of the logo? the one with the IV behind the warcraft?

It's a common issue which for some reason can't be fixed.

Solutions:
1. Right-click on the client -> Compatibility -> Run as Administrator. And retry.
2. Retype the password (admin).
3. Restart the application.
4. Open taskman. (Task Manager) and stop war3.exe and retry.

 

[supertoinkz]

1.Ran as administrator
2.Enter Realm
3.Retype Password and enter realm
4.Close
5.Reopen
6.Enter Realm (TM already open)
7.war3.exe End Process
8.Retype Password and enter realm
9.Still don't work

Does it needed that my wc3 installation path is in the Program Files? Because my brother installed on another path.

 

[takakenji]

i did that and it works, but it opens my regular warcraft 3

 

[kingbdogz]

Yes that's right, the very first Beta client has been released today. The client only opens Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne because the Beta has not been launched yet.

It's only a beta testing phase for the client, the actual game Beta will be patched into the client at a later date. Polishing is our top priority right now

 

[takakenji]

oh :/

 

[kingbdogz]

Hey guys!

Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy with school, family, life etc. Regardless, here is a new media release featuring three new soundtracks and one old one. Here are the names of the soundtracks:


- Warcraft IV Scourge OST Death Overture -

- Warcraft IV Scourge OST Interim -

- Warcraft IV Generic OST The Edge of Eternity -

- Warcraft IV Generic OST Echoes of War -



Thanks for the patience, enjoy this small update.

 

[Deolrin]

Woah. I LOVE them all. How about a 'chorus' in some places in the undead music however? You know, like... Opera signing. In similar to how it is in the Protoss music in SC2.

Also, the 'generic' one, those... Sounds in the background which had their own 'solo' part, I don't know how to describe them... They sound too 'happy', I don't know. Doesn't fit with the rest.

 

[emolilolee]

No new ones by Gev?
I hope you guys like them, I made them all, except the one called Edge Of Eternity

 

[kingbdogz]

I've just given some work for Gev to do yesterday so he should have some up later next week

 

[takakenji]

i can't wait for the day this is done, it looks excellent

will you be making new high-res versions of old wc3 units?

 

[kingbdogz]

Yes we will be making higher quality versions of the original Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne units

Yeah we might be doing that, however I don't want to complicate it any further than that since it is only the build up theme.

 

[meteOrain-]

Hey while your at it make one custom map so we can have some melee battles

 

[kingbdogz]

What?

 

[meteOrain-]

yeah, melee map (custom map)

 

[indomitable1319]

I think he means a demo melee map of the WC4 map, for us to play on.

 

[dead-man-walking]

I think he means a demo melee map of the WC4 map, for us to play on.

I think every Full-Fledged Mods would NEVER release a Beta-Map in the shape of Altered Melee. It's simply impossible with crackers and deprotecters flying around.

 

[indomitable1319]

Well, thats him. Just explaining his post.

 

[emolilolee]

The beta will be melee online gameplay actually as far as I know

 

[indomitable1319]

Oh. Okay.

 

[kingbdogz]

Greetings, followers of the project. The very first issue in a concept series called "Birth of a Unit" has been released. This series will showcase new and old units in Warcraft IV - The Edge of Eternity alike; you will discover what the units gameplay purpose is, where it fits in the lore, and how it was designed (both its visual and gameplay aspects).

I present to you, the Plague Erupter!

[indomitable1319]

Looks good!

 

[Deolrin]

Woah. Pretty damn awesome!

This new Alex guy is really great. I can't wait to see his models.
Hmm. "Plague" and "Erupt" just sound incredibly unoriginal. I mean, his name is "Plague Eruptor", it just sounds weird. Like making a unit called "War Striker" and giving him the spells: "War" and "Strike". It's pretty silly, too. I don't know, how about some two-word\three-word spell names that do not include either Plague OR Erupt? That could be pretty nice.
Also, maybe one of his spells could be some sort of a suicide spell. E.g., he explodes, dealing splash damage in an area(also deals bonus damage against buildings, and adds some additional effect, like damage over time or some armor degradation).

 

[kingbdogz]

Well it's actually called "Eruption", and yes it is what you described (exploding on death, giving Plague debuff + aoe damage). While I will keep "Eruption"s name, I'll try think of a new name for Plague.

 

[AIagremm]

OMG, awesome! Still dont understand how the heck do you find such awesome people.

Though I was always weary of some of your concepts, especially the Plague Erupter, I have to say this is cool!

 

[kingbdogz]

Greetings! The second issue in a series called "Birth of a Unit" has arrived!. This series will showcase new and old units alike; you will discover what the units gameplay purpose is, where it fits in the lore, and how it was designed (both its visual and gameplay aspects).

I present to you, the Ziggurat!

[Herian]

Awesome Ziggurat.
You need more Ziggurats.

 

[AIagremm]

I always loved buildings ^^
Excellent job with the lore, idea and concepts. Where do you find such people, Ill never know.

 

[indomitable1319]

Typo!! Altar, not Alter...
Alagremm, I agree with you. Where did you find those people?!?!?!

 

[kingbdogz]

Yes the Alter part was a mistake, I haven't really gotten around to fixing it.

I'm not sure how I find these people, maybe I'm just a natural

Excellent job with the lore, idea and concepts.

I loved writing the lore. Now that I can finally sneak in a few snippets of the story, I believe people will start to become more interested in the story itself and not just the gameplay. With each "Birth of a Unit" you will find that the Lore itself is progressing among a timeline, and not just random parts of the story.
