Starcraft 1.5 3D Total Conversion Maps Project

[night_wolveX]

Hello everyone,

Over the past 3 years ive been working on very own Starcraft project for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Basically ive made a complete conversion of Starcraft on Warcraft III. Everything, from units specs, map design, food system, etc have all been converted to Starcraft. Every unit in the maps has a custom made 3D Starcraft model and skin, allowing for never before seen Starcraft gameplay.

I still have much work left to do and i have been working hard to find people to aid me in completing the project with as much accuracy as possible in the conversion process.

For More Information Please goto;

there you will find screenshots and forums discussing my project and any future updates, plus you can download all 9 of my Starcraft conversions maps all in one maps pack file(32 mb).

Veryyy nice (based on the screenshot). However you think it can fit in 4mo limit to play on Battle net, or its just for single player ?

Looks good, but it would be much better if you had a custom HUD rather than that NE one.

Were did you get all those starcraft units?
I can't find the minerals and extractors models, I looked on wc3sear.ch and I found the protoss extractor thing but not the zerg or terran.
I'm making a StarCraft remake too but I am missing many zerg buildings and the star port for terrain and other various models. I am currently using the crystals from the northrend doodads for minerals (which I scaled down) and they look pretty cool.

This is nice. When this project is finished I'm going on with zerg and I'm gonna kill them all! BWahahaahaha
5/5

Whoah. Do Overlords ACTUALLY look like that? I never knew they were so cool. anyways really nice job. <3

More Starcraft Still To Come

Hey guys,

Woa, thanx everyone for all your positive feedback on my project. Even tho its only 65% - 70% complete you still are rating in 5/5 . Im already at work on the new improvements and updates at the moment and hopefully fix any annoying bugs still left in the maps. I also might be able to add 1 or 2 units depending on their model and skins sizes and whether i have the right tech tree for it as well. You will just have to wait till im done to find out.

Now to answer your questions which u can ask at anytime and ill provide an answer asap back to you.

Chindril
Yes all the maps are under the 4mb map limit restricitions blizzard imposes on all custom maps hosted on their bnet servers. Though to do this i had to optimise all 9 maps (compress them) to keep under the 4mb limit. Currently ive got 400kb left to play with and its very difficult to decide what to use that 400 kb on, new models and skins for more units, Starcraft sounds or better more complex triggers. Eventually i wont be able to add anything as ill be at maximum compression and what happens then well i dunno yet. ill cross that bridge wen i get there.

As a matter of fact the lastest versions do have a terran and protoss HUB skin which i modified from the Project Revolution UIs. I cant display any screenshots but i can post the links to the screenshots of them from the homepage. Unfortunately i have got a zerg HUB yet but hopefully ill be able to get 1 soon.

Well i had to do alot of website search and tracking down Samuro to find where the remaining models in the Lost Temple map where. I was able to find samuros modding website which had all the T-Rex zerg models and skins which i downloaded freely and have posted credits in all maps and readme files. The others i had to find through other means but ive made sure to give all credits to everyone who has provided material and i have sent alot of time gathering all the names of everyone. If u really want the models my previous maps which can be freely downloaded at wc3sea.ch are all unprotoect and can be opened by World Editor unlimited. But make sure to give credits if u do so.

Team Members Wanted

If anyone is interested in helping me with my project, please let me know. I need anyone who is good at model and skins creation, trigger specialist in both Jass and GUI, debuggers, anything really that needs help improving my maps overall.

If u do want to help just priv msg me or email me. You wont be under any timeframes or constrants so there is no pressure to have material or work done.

Thanx everyne who has given my maps project good feedback and the thumbs up. I know they have heaps of work still left to do and thats y im recruiting new people right now.

 

[SlasherXpert]

I would like to be a debugger, I already found many bugs that can be abused and the I got ideas.
As for what you should use the extra space on I say MORE UNITS!!!
I hosted your map on Bnet and nearly everyone that played said stuff like: OMG NO GOLIATHS? TERRANS SUX. or like OMFG NO NUKE??? or NO QUEEN NOR GUARDIANS????? AAAAAAAAAA and so on

Priority would be on goliaths because terrans sux against air right now.

The way the map is right now Protoss just kill everyone.
Also Scourge for the Zerg would be good since they are the best anti-air the zerg got. Pretty much only way to kill carriers. For the suicide attack you can base it off of the goblin sappers suicide move.

*Edit*:Thanks for saying were the models were wolf.

I tried to re-make the Blood Bath map from StarCraft but clearly it's harder than it seems...My units just wouldn't get attacks...

 

[Atreides]

maybe make some maps on ashenvale tileset?

 

[night_wolveX]

It seems we think alike SlasherXpert i do want to use the remain 400 kb space left to add as many of the missing units as possible. All i need is someone to create decent starcraft models. I am aware of some models of units i could add to the maps but in my opinion those particlur models arnt good enough yet to be added to the maps. My best bet is to wait for the Acathla Campain Project to release the 2nd mission campain where i should be able to download and use their starcraft models as i see fit(with premission of course).

Also currently the carriers do have somewhat of overpowerness to them mainly due to the fact i forgot to ad cost them them after testing and i didnt accurately set the interceptor cooldowns. This im going to edit and hopefully balance the carrier out.

Atreides
About 60% - 70% of my maps have ashenvale tilsets.

 

[SlasherXpert]

Ok
I found a guardian model on wc3sear.ch

 

[hey its X]

sorry to burst your bubble, but this conversion has already been started, and its hosted on wc3campaigns.net, i think its called project revolution or something. they got hi-res models, and custom terrain along with UI. and the units look more - starcrafty

 

[Ben]

and it also requires Starcraft and the expansion to play... This on the other hand seems amazing! - but we need goliaths

 

[SlasherXpert]

Lol yeah and I got a goliath model and a model for the missiles when they shoot air.
*Edit* This is the actual site: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/revolution/

 

[night_wolveX]

Look guys Project Revolution although it might look impressive and everything, has been 4 years in the making and i dont see it ever being finished within the next 2 years. I think from what ive heard they are still working on the triggers or coding.

Now if u havent heard of Project Revolution its a Total conversion modification of Warcraft 3. Yes it will have all the starcraft units and sc sounds, but they wont be adding any new units or material and you will have to own both Starcraft and Warcraft III to play the mod. Also i think the way the mod will be installed will completely over write all the standard wc3 files in your wc3 directory to the PR mod files. In otherwords if u have the PR mod installed you will no longer be able to play wc3 without having to uninstall the mod first.

But my project is somewhat different. I create custom maps which anyone can download and play at any time. Mine maps have alrdy been relased and can be downloaded or hosted online. Anyway with warcraft III can download the maps from other people who can host the maps and so and on. I have added in new units and new abilities from Starcraft Ghost, creating new types of tactics and unit combinations. But my maps have limitations as well. Im restricted by blizzard with map sizes of 4mb, limiting the amount of material i can add to my maps, that includes models, skins and sounds. Depending on what you want id prefer my mod as the work i have put into the project shows ingame and new developments are always possible to improve the conversion and the maps themselves.

 

[SlasherXpert]

Actually I read the F.A.Q. and you can still play WC3 with the mod installed but yeah it might take like 5 more years

I heard that BNet file limit was increased to 6mb but I have no official notice (Wish Blizz would tell us these things...) WE WANT MORE BRADWITH FOR WC3 NOT WoW!!!
yeah thats me protesting

 

[night_wolveX]

4mb limit still stands

Well SlasherXpert i just checked bnet and they wont allow my 4.34 mb map to be hosted so 4mb is still the limit. I dout blizzard will increase the limit as WoW is their main focus because its where all their money comes from.

thats not really a good thing to say, not only rude but Night wolve did spend a few years on this...
