New races

Let us say I have all models and textures needed. How would I create a new race in Warcraft? Could I create one that you could use against, say, a computer in single-player mode?

Sure, just construct the race with the object editor, making the buildings able to build units and upgrade to other buildings, making upgrades that dictate what you need to build whatnot, and so forth.

Then trigger it so that the map uses your race.

However, if you want a computer to be able to use the race, you'll probably need to make an AI file for it. And you won't be able to select the race in the game creation screen unless you make the map part of a campaign, and even then it will have to take the place of an existing race.

are you telling us you made a new race? o_O if so what kind ^_^

Is there anywhere I could find more detailed information on this topic?

On... what topic?

what? you started the topic...?

i dont understand your Problem!

you know how to use The Worldeditor?

if yes you should know that you can create

units from all existing models with your own abilities and atributes!

also you can import sounds, skins, textures, and models!

so yes you can create a completly new race! didnt you look around this Forum before? you dont know that manny Peoples work on Mods or Totalconversions which do the same what you asked us here?
and dont you download funmaps at www.wc3sear.ch ?? tehre you can also see what is possible!

I think he means, like in the custom screen, where you can choose to be NE, UD, HU, or ORC, where you could choose like...Whatever his thing is...Correct me if I'm wrong or make no sence.

answer: JEAH he can change this too, but i can see if he ask this question he would not have enough experience to do this! because he has to work in teh game files like for a totalconversion!

I started creating skins and models, I want to do what Wacko Combo said: I want to be able to select the race in that combo box.

If you're making a mod or a campaign, you can change it.

If you're not making a full mod or campaign, you can't change it.

Or rather, you can change it, but it won't take effect until after you play your map. In other words, your map will still show Human/Orc/Undead/Night Elf but the map after it will get screwed up with your races instead.

This is because the information for that isn't loaded until after the map isn't begun.
