So lately I have been messing around in the editor and making my own altered melee mod that is easily importable to other standard maps. It is just import object data, import files, and add hero dependencies. A friend said I should post it, but I wanted to ask here if it is worth it. Nothing in it is original, nothing. I claim no talent, just a desire to play and possible let others play the same maps I am.
For the most part, it adds 16 heroes from sources, and then adds a number of things in the pallete that can be put into maps, for example:
- a dozen new merc camps, organized by race (orc, tauren, pandaren, sylvan, ocean, and so on) that have 4 to 10 creep units not used that often
- a few marketplace alternatives, such as a scroll shop, potion shop, weapon store, etc
To change the maps I just make each marketplace a random building with all the item shops in the list, and make all mercenary camps a random merc camp from all the ones in the palette as well as the dozen I made.
Basically, I am trying to expand on melee maps without making changes to standard tech trees, units, etc, but instead new options for heroes and buildings and items, leaving the main gameplay the same but adding a little flavor with some unique merc units and such so each replay is a little different, leaving the standard strats intact (rushing to tavern/merc, leaving maps symmetrical ,etc)
I can add this to a typical map in like 5 minutes.
Is this worth posting? I can list credits for models and heroes I used but to be honest I used so many already if I have to ask permission then maybe it is better to just use myself.
Thanks for replies! AMAZING website btw!
