Goblin Tinker without 1.15 Patch

04-17-2004, 03:36 PM

I have had this idea for a while, and I hope no one will steal this idea, even though it might be worth to make this map at all. What I want do is Make the Goblin Tinker Hero (AKA: HeroTinker) in a map so ppl can play it without having to wait for 1.15 or play @Westfall. I already have a map: (4)DarkForest.w3x. I know there is no TFT Dark Forest map, but I made one that just adds Tavern to make it TFT map.

As for the Tinker one, It's simple to do, but I need some help doing it. Basically I DL the patch already (and then messed up by changing server only to erase it! now I have to wait a long time again to DL cuz I have 56k. not to worry I'm DL as I type this) and make copies of all the tinker stuff:

Units: Hero, Special, the Pocket factory, and the clockwerk goblins (and its funny cuz in the editor there 4 clockwerk goblins)

Abilities: Pocket Factory, Engineering upgrade, Cluster Rockets, Robo-goblin, and Demolish (that's for Robo- goblin).

Buffs: Pocket Factory, Engineering upgrade, Cluster Rockets, Robo-goblin, and Demolish.

Sound: Exported it all already thx to the editor!

Now what's weird is in the editor there many of the same things but I guess that's a bug for Blizz to fix, anyways next thing is to import the stuff needed. all the BLP and MDL, and Wavs. now I screwed up cuz I didn't make a small edit to the custom units so after I lost 1.15 and reverted I lost all that custom stuff, when I tried to go back to 1.15 I find myself updating it again even though I dl the stuff.. MAKES ME SO MAD!

Anyways I did export all the stuff I needed, except I cant seem to find the 3 mdls... the hero, Robo, and factory, oh and clockwerkgoboins too! I tried the source given to me by the editor but its not located in the patch under the list file I made. the rest is there, but not the mdl file. that's weird, and I guess to prevent ppl like me finding them, so that y I want your help to help me on some ides I may miss and to find a listfile to find the missing mdl files. I found NO mdl file in the patch at all! (dam it barley 39% of patch DL done!) sry I'm DL 1.15 all over so ima little pissed!) well I'm done here, anyone care to help me do this map?

You could do it possibly, but it is probably for the better just to wait a few weeks.

True, the abilities are gonna be hardcoded into the game in 1.15, so you're triggers'll be obsolete. It isn't worth several hours of hard triggering for something that's gonna be available in a much more ready-to-use form in a matter of weeks.

I guess you guy's r probably night, not only did I spend all day and night trying to figure it out, I wasted the day. And it doesn't work. Alot of probs to fix that I just said forget it! Just trying to do something that seemed fun to do! The abilities r unique some source codes r not even made up yet. I have all I needed but the model and icons nvr showed up. I got a bright neon green icon, but when it was not highlighted, I could actually see the icon, best way to see them was pause the game they all came in clearly, but oh well I gave up on the idea!
