I have been on vacation for about 3 weeks now, away from War3, but I have completed 1½ races already. There's many ways to go about it, but the simplest is to create new units for your race(s), and instead of normal townhall/peons, start each player with a 'race selector' unit that gives the player the starting units of whatever race they choose. If you were going to go all out and make the race selectable at start, you would have to do major changes to the War3 files, but you could do it. Look in the blizzard.j and common.j to start out. You will need to know to program in JASS first (or C/C++ or something) if you go this route. The Demons are already residually available as they were once playable, but you have to do a bit more than just change a few values (believe me I tried ;)) If you want to use custom models (ones you make, not Blizzard ones), custom sounds, or other stuff, look at the general modding stuff on this site. With my races, I am using mostly blizzard-made models with radically different functions and abilites (JASS makes it happen:)), and few modded files. |

I've toyed around a bit, but nothing useful yet. Anyone wishing to do further research needs to look at blizzard.j/common.j (Intall files, can't remember if they are in the .mpq, this isn't my War3 comp), and in the war3map.j file in the .w3m, and wherever the appropriate functions referred to there are located. In any case, you probably will not be able to allow such selection unless the player(s) download special files, which will kill battlenet play. |

Guest | Is there some kind of guide out there for modders on how to edit the spells and unitabilites around? Just the basics and stuff? |
