New Races

I've done some work making new races....

I created a workable troll race using just the trolls and buildings that are in the game.

Problems I ran into creating this race though were; The trolls have no animation for lumber and gold mining so you couldn't tell when they had gold/ lumber or not.

The caps didn't work with the heros seeing as I didn't create them to overwrite one of the original races :bangH: very aggrivating

No building animations when they are being created so the beuildings just kinda appeared....

Trolls have no "repair" animation so they just stood next to the building doing backflips while the building was being repaired...

I had some trouble with the upgrading of the main building but that was fixed in the patch and I WAS going to fix it but my CD-ROM drive isn't working so I'm stuck on production

Well those are my problems mostly animations and since I dont think that you can create or edit them My production is stopped.

If I could get some people to help me (I'd Like some new looking Troll Buildings [Models and Skins] but with troll characteristics [the Totem in the front of the building...coloration....building
"materials"...). I also need some new unit models for different weapons and I need the skins so if anyone interested send me a Private message or respond.

i have made an Advanced Warcraft. I have a troll race. I skinned a peon to look like headhunter skinn color and used that. I beleive my map can be found somewhere in the new race mod forums, but ill post it here to if i can

[edit] Removed my map. it can be found in another thread in this forum.

I played a map where they replaces stuff like that...but they didn't use troll buildings, I dont know about yours because I cant play it becuase my CD rom Drive doesn't work so I cant even get into the editor which PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!!

I just want someone to model exactly what I describe and then skin then to what I describe....it's mostly buildings and they shouldn't really be too complecated most of the time, unless you want them to be so I would like any
moddeler/UVW Mapper/Skinner to do this semi expereince would be good but you dont realy need it.

Please help me because I want to continue to create my 12 or 18 races I planned and If I dont I think I could go a little weird seeing as my map wont go anywhere.

I'm doing

Trolls
Gnolls
Centaurs
Renegade Humans
Wendigo/Sasquatch
Spiders
Murlocs
Etc..

So if anyone is interested PLEASE drop me a line here or on my private message, or in IM's

no one wants to help?

I am making all of these races on one map but I think I will do a campaign later using a some of them. Actually I think I might make campaigns so that every race that I've made. It would be cool.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

How the hell do you make new races without overwriting the old ones?

Creating custom units then stringing them together, at one point one of my regular troll buildings could make peons....errors in which you must make sure have been eradicated before releasing to public.

If you want to see my map and how it works I'll attach it, beleive me it's still buggy because I havent' gotten to work on it as much as I'd like.

Hey, beazulbludstone,

not interested to join Project Sauroïd to experience bringing a new race ingame? We have a sauroïd race, with a tyrannosaus subrace, a brontosaur semi-subrace, and a cobra-type subrace.

We only lack a modeller to design them. In the meantime, however, we try to define what trouble we might have bringing them ingame. You mention animations. We heard about AI not being able to play the new race....

Wanna look further together?

you are getting to complicated beazle. The absolute MOST you can hope to implement would be 4 complete races because of the game's built in crap. But if you just do races using custom units, and dont actually build your own races, then the mod will be nothing special. You dont need to skin and model a bunch of troll buildings though, AlexBS managed just fine with the built in models. So if thats the way you are going, get your cd drive working and check out his map.

oh, and by the way, if you make new models, you cant just use them to make custom units. You have to import them and stuff and theres a limit to how many you can import. Also, i think those replace the ones of old races. Not sure.

I could do some skinning for you, if you want me to, just tell me what to do and give me a drawing program like PSP 7 or equal. Bad drawing programs pisses me off, and PSP 7 is too expensive and my trial version ran out.:(

shoulda got a crack.

Two programs for the guy with the messed up cd drive. Go to download.com and get "Cd Space" and "Clone Cd" and you wont ever need your disk drive again for games. With clone cd you can make images of games on your computer, and cd space creates virtual hard drives, making the game think that the disk is in when it really isnt. :D I have war3 diablo 2 and starcraft all imaged on my comp, and I dont ever need the disks!

anyone have ideas or anything for my map? beazle if u want ill help u on yours or u can help me on mine cuz im a LOT further along on mine. my firt 2 races are almost completely done (trolls and nerubians). all i need on them is a lot more beta testing and maybe some modelling and skinning. i would appreciate it greatyly if you helped on mine. once u get that disc image, check out my map. i guess ill start a new thread for my map... ok if u want to download that map im rmoving it from here and putting it in my thread.
