Wow. To think, 2 years ago we were close to another great Open RPG for WC3. Well I am considering bringing the project back. I lost track of all my files since my computer was torn apart in an investigation from the FBI. No kidding either. When my computer was sent to Cali to visit my dad, we got a call saying the drug dogs barked at my box. They stripped the thing down even to the hard drive since they were stilling getting the dogs barking at it. Idk what to say but I thought I had lost everything until now. Just a few days ago I was looking through old backup dvd's and found my warcraft 3 map folder snuggled away. Within it, the open copy of FF Open RPG II just as it was left.

Now with Starcraft 2 only months away, I am left to wonder, would it be worth still doing? It was fun at the start and still can be. I do not mind bringing this back but it's gonna have to have support from the community and a major want from everybody.

Anyways, it's up to you all. I'll periodically read all yalls posts. If I see enough want and love, I'll restart the project. Though know this, once Galaxy Editor is released (I'm in Starcraft II beta), I am gonna direct more then 80% of my life to learning it as I did with World Editor. I won't drop the project but times running short. Ide love to see this map out before sometime between now and June 1st. I could even release the first half and just add as I go, kinda like expansions. Would help get the idea out their and see if it's worth finishing to the bone. After that, I'll keep in touch with it. Release updates and patches from time to time to make sure it stays unique and fun for those who still enjoy old school Warcraft 3 custom maps. If you have anything to contribute, I suggest you post it here.

I also still own the rights to ffopenrpg.com

Nothing will beat Warcraft RPG wise to be honest. I mean theirs so much you can do with it since it has such a RPG element to it. Starcraft I don't see that happening unless we make custom models. XD

Well... They showed a game made in minutes that was a first person shooter with custom GUI and you could go underground. That's pretty RPG-ish.

You got to remember though, the people that made it, WORK for Blizzard. I would expect nothing less than that from people like them, especially with the time they had. They could probably make something even better in just a day.

Anyways, to the project:

Galaxy Editor will be far better for a project like this.
If you think Starcraft doesn't have an RPG feel, I think you're sadly mistaken. The editor is nearly 10 years ahead of WC3. Obtaining an RPG feel for a game will be much easier than you think, especially after a couple months into SC2's initial release. New models made by very experienced people around the world will be flooding the hiveworkshop and other noteable websites for SC2.


I could go on and on, but, I think you've got the basic idea.

I say you develope this RPG for Warcraft 3, and learn from it for when you get the Galaxy Editor. It'll make you feel more comfortable, and you'll also have the basic ideas down for your map.

Good luck! :cool:

Your forgetting a key concept: Warcraft 3 was made to have rpg elements, sc2 was not

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
