War2 - Couple of jobs needed!!

Hey, I'm making a Warcraft II campaign for Warcraft III and need 2 people to help me out (or more). I have 2 simple jobs that need being done:

1. I need someone to make all the maps for the game (excluding the expansion). This person must own Warcraft 2 so that I can send the .pud files to copy. This is easier than it sounds--warcraft 2 only has 2 or 3 tilesets, and not really any doodads.

2. This job is a little more tedious and may require more than one person. I need all the units to be edited so that they cost the same, do the same damage, etc as in war2

I will be doing everything else, from triggers, quests, abilities, cinematics, sounds/music, etc. ONLY the above jobs are needed.

This campaign will feature cinematics, both human and orc campaigns, sounds/music from the original, custom loading screens, etc. Basically, its the exact Warcraft 2 put into Warcraft 3.

please post here or pm me if you are interested in helping, thanks

I was just thinking about making the exact same Campaign and i'd be happy to help you with re-creating the War2 Campaigns in War3


However i'm not very good at using the editor right now... but i'll get better :D

But i've got both War2 and the Expansion also if you're intrested... i've got the War1 Campaigns as well... i think i'd be pretty cool to make those as well

Anyway... tell me what you think

blizzard is going to sew you if you will put sounds and movies in the mod:////

:foot:
nice idea, i had it also...
i have finished the first 3 Maps of the Orc Campaign...
Now I'm testing my "Oil System". It works ok...

I dont think i can help u, caus i'm too bad at mapping and modeling
(i tryed to make a model for the oil tanker... *hmm* not very perfect)
My biggest problem is, i have no texture, i used a image at www.battle.net/war2 from the original game *lol*

good luck !

edit: u can convert the old puds with the uwse into w3m maps ! :ggani: :ggani:

Nah, what we do is use the graphics from War3

But we change all of the units so that they have the same stats as the ones in War2... so they all have the same HP, Cost, DMG

everything like that... what would be really cool is if were able to get the peons to mine 100 per load

It'll be a very hard thing to make... but i think in the end it'd be worth it

yes... there are many difficults...
espacilly for me... i'm not good at modelling, and i have to do this difficult oil raffinieries... (i dont know how they are spelled in english,sry)
for the 100gold pro mining:
just change the first data in the Mining ability to 100 !!
Data - Gold capacity
:D

look at http://www.battle.net/war2/units/peasant.shtml if you need a fast overview about the stats of the units.

lol yeh... as you can see i know even less about the editor


Would you be able to make the orc peons to help build their buildings?

i think the only way is to change the race of your peasant to Human... i dont know any other method. Maybe there is a file where is written down how the races handle this with the building:bgrun:

LOL
i posted help originally very long ago, i didn't think people would reply, so ive almost given up on it.

but if there are enough people that want to help, I have to change things around:

1. I'm also part of another project (The battle for Azeroth) so I'm more into that rite now. In other words I'll only do a few things with this.

2. I need someone to convert the maps using UMSWE.

3. I won't include music because the file sizes get much to big anyways.

4. The ONLY thing that I would do with these maps is the cinematic briefings (see the attached file), and loading screens.

5. Everyone else would do everything from units, triggers, quests etc. because I'm just far too busy.

NOTE - the map that is attached doesn't actually have the mission briefing sound with it. The real map does, but the size is like 800kb.

hmmm the file isn't attaching...
oh well.

so if your really enthusiastic about this then say if you want to join, but if not, then it doesn't matter, cuz i was gonna stop anyways.

but yea, we'll have to figure out how to do all that refinary and oil system crap, and we'll need to edit all the units etc...

I'm interested....

Hi !
it's a nice idead with the mission briefing...
i have tried to make some oil tankers for the orcish horde.
i dont think they are good, are my first models...
If you want them for your campaign you can get them.
The skin is actually no skin... i used a picture out of warcraft 2 :ggani:


I can help you with the oil system. I have a pretty good working solution. my only problem is that in warcraft 2 u could build the raffinierie and the docks everywhere. You can have a look at my map...

TheGnome

looks great from what I can see, the pics a bit small

thanks :D
but if you get nearer you can see that the skin is based on a 40*20 pixel screenshot out of a old 2d game :)

hehe well from this distance it looks just like the one from the game, wish I'd thought of that when I did my Elven Destroyer ages ago lol
