Hey guys, I made this video 10 months ago when mucking around with some of the stuff I do.
Does anybody know if anyone else on Earth made a similar but better game mod for warcraft 3, such that the Action Bar and the Inventory would actually work and then the WoW hero could actually cast and attack the Warcraft 3 enemies and loot the corpses?
Here's another clip of more or less the same thing:
Basically I was thinking it could be fun to play this client again for the holidays, but I would rather enjoy having a working inventory and action bar (and tab targeting system). And so I was curious if anyone ever made those 3 things, as a tool that was connected into or along with World Editor.
In the above, essentially I convert WoW XML into Wc3 FDF universe, and WoW DBC into Wc3 SLK, and then load these programmatically ported things in variable space, and load the WoW Lua code from 0.5.2 or whatever. But it did not work, because the Lua native bindings for the action bar and inventory did not map to corresponding Wc3 counterparts. With a lot of time I could fix that, but I kind of wish someone else already did it.
Edit:
Basically, when I played World of Warcraft there was a time that I played a guy with about 100 or so abilities. I am somewhat sentimental about the character and programming, but less sentimental about specific Azeroth game maps/zones/regions, and so I would enjoy having those 100 abilities load any time that I push ESC on any Warcraft 3 map, so that I could run my WoW character around the Warcraft 3 map of my choice, and go on a broader range of adventures. I would be totally okay if this included some hodgepodge, where the WoW statistics like Spirit and Crit Rating and Spell Power and whatever else are used on the WoW character when attacking the WC3 units, but then the WC3 units attacking the WoW character might do some simple or flat true damage to the WoW health bar, so that the WC3 ecosystem did not have to change and we could draw a simple map of enemies to fight, and double click them to assign which items they drop when I loot that corpse, in a very easy way. We could probably use gamecache to dump the WoW inventory locally in single player for starters.
So, ya if we can make it that when I am playing Warcraft 3 at any time I can press ESC to drop in my WoW character into the world and run around, I think this would be a good software tool. Surely I'm not the first person who thought of it.
