Greetings. I am New here to War3Campaigns. I also am new at war3 map making, but I did Alot of StarCraft mas using the StarCraft Campaign Editor (StarEdit) and many other Editors as well, So I am somewhat familar with the War3 Editor. I have played around a bit .. made my own map (Alliance Expansion). and Currently Hav a great IDea that Id ont think anyone has thought of yet (correct me if I am wrong). I also am a member of BlizzForums and a current member of BlizzWarWorlds. The Official Map making team of BlizzForums. I was thinking of.. Having a team to help remake WarCraft II into a WarCraft III World. My Plans are hard to do for new Map maker like Myself, but In the long run I see a great Campign at hand. My first priority is to at leat remake one map that is set-up like the good ol' WarCraft II. Having the Human Allaince and the Orcish horde back like it once was.. making a fun map.. No more then 8 players of corse. IF maybe we can get that done, perhaps we can start making the Original Campigns as well. Using the War3 World Editor, I think its quite possible making the entire game again. Making a total of 4 campaign all together. THe Human and Orc Campign from Tides of Darkness, and the Human and Orc Campigns from Beyond the Dark Portal, making the complete WarCraft II game: the Dark Saga. Like I said this is alot to go by, But I wanna start off at least with one map that takes it back to WarCraft II in a warCraft III world. Perhaps I can get something started on the war2 melee map. I am still deciding on using new spells to remake the old ones in war2 or use the current one in war3. Also. I need and old War3 Melee map Hopefully some one will come in and say I can remake and old BNE map for war3. But rember it needs water for the ships! This map wont matter if its w3m or w3x. I can work on creating Characters for Humans and Orcs, but some things will be hard to do. So i will appriciate all the help I can get. Some of this stuff will be esasy for me becuase of my map i took forever to make. it was basicly the new units and more new units for a better exoansion that I made. I used campign used units into a melee format also having to balance them out and tweeking them to use the proper upgrades. here is the replacement list of War2 Units: HUMANS: Units:
Buildings: I will keep the buildings used in war3 and rename them, but some old buildings will be used to allows certain things avilable such as stables for knights, and the Alter for Mages. Orcs: Units:
Buildings: I will keep the buildings used in war3 and rename them, but some old buildings will be used to allows certain things avilable such as Alter of storms, Pig farm will replace the Burrows, temple of the damed used by Undead now for Orcs. I would definatly love some help on this, But alot of this I can do on my own. I definatly need help with SUbmarine and The Turtle. I could also use some ideas for Oil tankers or just have a vote on not using them at all. I need some Ideas on making a church for the Paldins too! The upgrades and spells I can probally do, but then again having help on that really helps this map go out faster, and some spells I may need help with.. After I make the units, I will work on spells and stuff. Upgrades and all of that I will post later. Also. I plan to remake Heros too, but sadly They wont be usd in the map...those will be saved in the map, but will be only used for the campaign! EDIT: I already Started on the Humans, I am using a demo version using the map: Booty Bay |

Both teams that are making WC1 conversions are planning to do a WC2 conversion after they're done. It's only logical and an obvious second mod to do. The only WC2 in WC3 mod (Done in just WE) I saw was nothing amazing. Most of the units are already there so it's fairly easy to do though. Those would be the Star Alliance's WC1 Con (http://forums.samods.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=12) and Realm Design's Dawn of Chaos here at WC3C (http://rlmdsn.wc3campaigns.com/) . Perhaps you could join either? I know that Xaran Alams is keen to do a WC2 conversion (Hence why he's done a brief design document and even a working Gnomish Submarine), though he'll probably do it once he, Rommel and myself have done our WC1 Con. |

No no no, Im not doing convertions.. thatsstupid in my opinion.. with the War3 World Editor You basicly can mod the game anyways. I just wanna make a campaign of WarCraft II. This Map I am Starting for one is the Set-up of it, and I am lookign for people to help make the map... If all goes well, I may Decide to Start a Camapign of the entire WarCraft II Game, But for now Just this Melee Map: WarCraft II: Battle.Net Edition. It is an 8 Player Game Feturing Humans and ORcs used in WarCraft II. Basicly It will be an Altered Melee. The map I am hopefully geting to be remade, will be: "Frog Legs BNE" The reason is becuse its an 8 player ladder map made by blizzard. This is perfect for making a remake of WarCraft II. I can't make the map myself that good, and I was hoping someone would be willing to make one for me. |

Sounds like hard work to me, but very good idea. I think you shouldn`t make those oil tankers. It would be very hard. You could use cathedral for those Paladins. Just make new house and change the textures. |
| 02-06-2004, 12:42 AM | #5 |
See thats the thing. I can do anything that the World editor can do.. textures, sounds, skinning, I cant do. FOr one thing I dont have the programs (Ithink ) to run them to make.. all I have on my computer for graphics and stuff is paint. and imaging.. not even 3d studio max or paintsgop pro?.. so sad I know but I wasn't planniong on it.. I do want that Program needed for the War3 art tools! |

Are you still doing this conversation? If you are, I could use those units on my WarCraft II conversation. I could make all the maps and you all the units. What do you say? |

yo, sry to rain on your parade, but theres already a map like this out there. its not very popular but i play it often (apperantly 3.8 mb is not a good idea for a Bnet map). i'd show you but the upload limit wont let me. although i hope you can go through with yours and have it top the one i play. cheers |

Ima skip on the sub and turtle. For now anyways. right now ima just make a small representation of the game. without skins or textures, ima make a recreation of war2 in the mean time. using units already used and recreating i should be OK. I do have a confusion though. i am trying to make upgrades for archer to ranger, and knight to paladin, but for some reason, when i make them build able in the barracks, there able to build both archers, and ranger, and knight, and paladins. i wanna make a similar upgrade thats is just like the troll berserker upgrade, can anyone help me out there. What I mean is replace building archers with ranger, and the same for knights s paladins. I hope there no triggers involved sine the troll berserker doesn't have any, but anything will do. |
