starcraft2 modding?

Did you guys manage to add boats to WC3? if so where can I get it... and can we steal them for spring?

[yuritch]

WC3 had boats added in the TFT expansion (they are even available in a few of the campaign missions, namely in Undead campaign you can get transports, destroyers and battleships, and one of multiplayer maps has transports). Each race has a set of 3 boats. They are not available in normal games though, a special shipyard neutral building must be placed on the map to recruit them. It can be made buildable in custom maps.

First of all, awesome... I never got the frozen throne expansion because I didn't like the first one because it didn't have boats, I might have gotten it if I had.

Second, I was actually thinking about tall-ships/pirate-ships like they have in their logo and the possibility of a piratical themed spring mod.

In addition to the original shipmodels which came with tft, there are many custommodels which make u able to create almost any kind of setting with wc3.
Just visit http://www.hiveworkshop.com or us at gaop. the wc3 modding community made tons of models, skins for blizzardmodels and buttons.
I personally never played normal wc3 but there are so many awesome mods it ll never be boring.

Hello, welcome to the Spring forums. I may drop by your world sometime soon, though I was more of a Warcraft II/Starcraft sort of lad in my youth.

[Comp1337]

i only play dota
THIS IS POST 2000 PEOPLE
BRING OUT MAH CHAMPAGNE

[Neddie]

DOTA sucks. Seriously.

Actually, I'm considering playing it again.

[Comp1337]

As long as you have decent people to play with its loads of fun
The general assholes in public game kinda ruin it though

[rattle]

2000? Damn you are slow... SPAMPOINTS - GOTTA CATCH EM ALL. And DOTA is uh... well I never had the chance to play it against anyone.

FF epic and that other FF rpg map was awesome with 4-6 people together, though.

[nemppu]

naabs who cant handle real wc3 go custom games most notably dota

[Comp1337]

yes. I bloody suck at standard wc3.

Thats a problem for every wc3-mod that requires a certain knowledge and skill, but to me it would be the wrong way to mind about this. u cant balance bad gamers, leavers and whining idiots who destroy the game as the mapmaker. u can only try to make the map catchy and transparent while still offering a high level of variety of gameplay and balanced tactics to discover.

[Comp1337]

true

Zpock asked:

Of course !!! the socalled scumedit the editor which will be included in sc2 will be quite alike the worldedit(wc3). and to make us able to make aos/dota typed maps, blizzard promised to include a unit with inventory and the ability to gain xp (->a hero ) . as far as we know mapmakers will be able to use JASS-scripts made for wc3 and import them. when sc2 will be out we must be prepared, the early bird catches the worm (guess why dota is so popular and overrated).

( oh and SCUM means StarcraftUniverseMaker of course, for those who did wonder )

[Comp1337]

dota is so popular and overrated

i sense jealousy

[B.62]

i sense jealousy

nah. no jealousy , dota is a great map i play it often although i dont like the direction icefrogg choosed. there are simply many more maps that would earn the same lvl of attention two, and because they dont get it its a pain to play them public.

[Wolf-In-Exile]

Interesting looking mod, you've custom art, which is pretty uncommon for WC3 mods (since a large portion of them just use stock models.... meh).

I love DoTA too, its a great game to play with your friends. I've stopped playing with random strangers because of the sheer amount of idiots (dropping immediately after being the first person to be killed @First Blood and stupid things like that, or "pros" screaming at you because you're not playing the build they're used to).
