New races without replacing old ones?

Would it be possible at all to create a new race without replacing an old one? If you were to create a new directory in war3.mpq and edit the warcraft code accordingly to support new races in regular non-campaign games (possibly having to reprogram the scroll bars), anyone know if would it work?

sorry, I meant pull down menus (the ones you use to choose your race with during custom games)

yes... its very possible...

Its rather difficulty and much work so we just replace the old ones. But I think the results is good either way

to make additional races ONTOP of the default races (ie: more than 4 races) would be very difficult.....but don't forget.....it's not that it's difficult that it is impossible..........so....beware.......

Perhaps if the changes were in the form of a patch, you wouldn't have to edit the files that were already inside war3.mpq, and you could edit the source code by copying the files and editing the changes inside a seperate file. But the big question is if Warcraft can actually support more than 4 races at all....

it better! or else the NRM staff will MAKE war3 support it . Well i hope it does.

To make that work you'd have to change the very Warcraft III game code. It's much easier to do a map specific race, but that doesn't work for a mod either (unless you modify every single map to support your race), so the only thing remaining is to overwrite the existing four races.

Actually you can add More than 4 races,but ya need pop up menus ingame,Demon Craft for example used this technique(the maker modified jass files).
