This raises a question for me. Is it legal to use wow models in WC3?

I assume it is just fine, since wow icons are used by many custom maps, including DotA, which is played on battle.net, and Blizz does nothing about it.

Is it any different for models though?

It's not legal, no. No one's going to come sue you for it though. You might not be able to upload your map on sites with strict moderation.

The real problem with WoW model is the size of them. They are heavily detailed in comparison to WC3 models.

Nothing about it? blizz loves dota, recent patch notes even fixes some dota bugs..

And the worst thing that could happen is that ur map gets rejected, but i dont know from where

Well, I don't know if icons are legal to use or not, but DotA got Blizzard's permission for a lot of things, including icons.

Models, however are not legal unless you ask Blizzard for it.

In order to use WoW Models in a WC3: TFT/RoC map legally, you need to ask Blizzard for permission. You can either make a thread somewhere on the WoW Forums, or you can call a help line and request to speak to someone about Model Extracting.

There is a fellow who got Blizzard's permission to extract the icons.

Ok,

So I posted at on battle.net for permission, and I was directed here by the Blizz employee.

Also, they have had discussion about this before at the battle.net website.

Looks like Blizz has no problem with using wow icons/models as long as they are not used for commercial use, redistrubuted as forgery, and they are within other blizz games.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
