Wow rips?

[wowcraft]

Last time I logged in wow rips were not allowed. Just curious why the change?

New ported models section

So as we have a new section for ports or rips if you'd call them that it poses the question of rules and guidelines around the new section. I see no announcement about this, but some more information would be nice. It says we might see rips from wow and other games. How does this go with...

Just use the search engine more, less solvable questions, better gain.

This did not answer the question I was looking for. I should have been more specific.

it's like 50 gigs of models that's 50x bigger than the actual game, but i didn't show off everything obviously, this is an example of what I have not even the tip of the iceberg, is truly THAT much.

Is this stuff I have allowed?

yes, do it, crash the ported models section with no survivors, that's the only way they'll learn

I feel, the answer is right there, in the Ported Models section. Just look at what people have uploaded...

One slight correction: Blizzard-game ported models are allowed, e.g. anything (properly) ported from StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Diablo. The logic is Blizzard's unlikely to sue itself because models they made (albeit for their other games) appear in Warcraft III.

However, other companies might sue if they see their models in Warcraft III. I believe ported models from other games are still forbidden.

Resource Submission Rules (Models, skins, icons, spells & systems)

Resource Submission Rules (Models, skins, icons, spells & systems) Users can upload resources to Hive's resource sections. Resources are marked as pending until a resource moderator or reviewer checks it out. The resource is fully visible and downloadable by everyone until that happens...

www.hiveworkshop.com

"Submission of resources consisting of or containing large parts of (a ported resource) material (not from Warcraft 3) made by an external entity (e.g. Blizzard, other game companies, asset libraries, etc.) must be submitted to the appropriate "Ported Models/Skins/etc" section.

• Don't forget to give attribution to the original maker of the modified resource. Read more about attribution in the section emphasizing 'contributing members must be added'.
• For ported resources, the submitter is not expected to live up to rules regarding original work or any sort of free-hand as long as the resource is submitted to the appropriate "Ported" section."

Also, I also have some VERY old projects that are near impossible to find like Dawn of Chaos and Scars of Conflict and a few more. These ARE NOT my works but because of the rarity to the models and project if anyone needs them just lmk.

Yes these are ALL properly imported, i been doing this for decades just doing it underground just watch the video to see. EVERY model is made with quality and took HOURS to get them to play to warcraft 3 standards, ill make new videos and show off other models as well (maybe hots models this time). Check out the animation's death effects glow everything... I understand the Hives level of quality within their models are ( I downloaded plenty of them) and these fit that description if not excel, I am sure of it. These are the absolute best rips from these games, you can't find better.

I stand corrected. As it turns out, the decision wasn't publicly announced. I was starting to believe I had participated in a heated debate and forgotten all about it. Good ol' Zeratrusta not senile after all, lucky me!

Yes these are ALL properly imported

That is good. The rules do say they have to be functional in Wc3, so it is implied they must be edited, and not a direct rip.

Here you go a small sample..... this is on a basic original version of Warcraft III, I put it together quick to show off other models Check it out.

The video is private.

Also, please don't multipost. See profile message for more info.

EDIT: the video is working now.

oh wow that wc1 mod looked promising what happened to it?

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

That project is one of the oldest I can remember, this was back in 07 if I remember correctly maybe even before. I was never a part of this project, so I have no real information on the reason it faded away. I have the MPQ file where you can play where they left off. There was even a cool cinematic to the game, I was so sad when this game faded.

Here is a 5-minute video of that cinematic I mentioned ( uploaded 16 years ago )

Some gameplay here

man felt like it had potential :/ sad that it didnt come to be

It did, they had custom voices, art, sounds, everything to make it feel like an entirely new game. Even the game mechanics were different when playing, you had to build next to a path (like WCI) They worked hard on this imagine if they kept at it 16 years later.

wc1 remaster would have been a bless to bring the outdated game to much more modern standards

Really appreciate the additions to the HoTS model collection. Especially with the teamcolor. The HoTS models at RTS camera distance are the clear pathway to a true graphical reforge for Warcraft 3.

 

[deepstrasz]

It's not clear to me if you plan(ned) to also port special FX (on hit, from abilities etc.) and projectiles? That would definitely bring the feel of those games closer to the originals.

some of the projects you mentioned may already be uploaded in this thread like the Dawn of War one

Projects of old, gather ye' resources... [Mod Compendium]

Hello all. I've decided to put together a compendium of resources from large projects. I was in no way involved with the authorship of these resources. I am not attempting to claim credit or reputation points. My goal here is to fill a potential void and provide people with hundreds of...
