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?

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.

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

DOTA sucks. Seriously.

Actually, I'm considering playing it again.

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

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.

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

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.

true

Zpock asked:

starcraft2 modding?

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 )

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.

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).
