well for optimisation its possbile to reduce greatly Texture quality, resolution. And have minimum usage of Sound files from WC3 or WoW like having only workers, announcers and some basic units voices.
now lets hope this wont turn into pumpkin as soon as blizzard release their official warcraft hd mod (development of wich is certainly ongoing, considering what they've said on blizzcon, and the ammount of wc3 systems added to data editor in 2013)
Other than the structures, do you guys have any unit models that aren't by Triceron, Zolden, or Taylormouse? Because I can see it falling short here. It's no joke to create the sheer amount of assets for a mod like this. We're talking many many months to years of work. Once ahtiandr releases his tutorial I plan on doing some upgrades to WoW models and some custom ones.
Also the other point brought up about map size is important. Keeping the dependencies at a reasonable size is crucial to success. WAH was terrible in that regard. SC2 players aren't going to want to spend 2 hours downloading.
This is perfect! I am not a custom games player as I am a multiplayer/melee player, and yet I would play this! That says a lot since among any other things that I am not really interested in, I am willing to participate. Why?
- Because I am bored with SC2 and how things go there lately
- because War3 was my RTS game for many years, not broodwar and I am missing these good old war3 times and was thinking Blizz should go for a new Warcraft RTS.. due to its more fun melee and micro playing than SC2..
- because when I see your Turtle Rock map, besides design wise I see that this is made with knowledge about war3 and how things are there
I am not sure if the game mechanics, speed will be as they should be, you can work on that but it will be nice to play!
Ah, I thought those ones were yours for some reason. Question still stands though. How are they planning to create the remaining models in a timely manner?
They would make progress faster having more Modellers working in recreating things. Few model makers may for months few models. As they work somewhat for free? So darra come sacrifice for others to make things happen!
I invited TaylorMouse, ahtiandr and Triceron, but they declined the invitation. If you can help with models - write a PM to me. Or try to convince them to join us, We have already got 260 000 views on youtube. I can not understand why if they are doing the same things and have free time due to their activity with other WarCraft models and don't want to help. If combined all of the fan models and materials on deviant art in the constructive way we would get ten or more full remakes of Warcraft 3 already.
Some people feel like being obliged to do something when joining a team. What you could do is simply find out what they have finished or are working on at the moment and create other models/skins yourself. Stay on their neutral/friendly side. That way you still stay in contact with people and don't waste any time by making the same model twice. Who knows, maybe they'll join you when they see more work done by you, or in the very least give you permission to use and alter their models. On the downside, they may be workign on some very essential stuff that you need right away so you will end up doing stuff they are working on and they are not willing to give you their models,but then again if they never want to give you anything you aren't essentially wasting time.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD I HAVE WANTED THIS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE THIS MOD FILE DOWNLOADABLE ON THIS SITE ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I COMMAND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Seriously though, I will PM you later with more thoughts and emotions. ;) )
Thats exactly how we all feel about this project just we cant put it like that we have to be more calm about it. Dont rush the art or it will get FU...UP!!!
I don't know why but i don't think this will be ready before 2016, i wish for all the team all luck! They will need it... You will add a new hero for race?

From my experience on the Brood War remake, you shouldn't expect a couple of modelers to publish dozens of models in a row. What happens is that someone will come from time to time with one or two models he spent weeks recreating and ask if you are interested in them. Then you will never hear from that person again.
The most difficult part is to get a decent placeholder for your first version, after that, you will have years to improve your models.

@abvdzh: Go
with such speeds of theirs, cant even deliver those 4 models from year ago promised.. Yeah, community would make faster things for free..
I don't care of how much MB, even 1 GB will be ok, i would do everything to play a WarCraft 3 remake of this level! Merry Christmas.
Hmm, looks great!
Though, can't stop imagining this mod with a bit of art direction by ahtiandr: http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/development/artist-tavern/72783-wc4-level-art-wip/#posts It would be simply perfect! ;)
Wouldn't mind seeing an overview of all the unit/building models, like you've done it with the peasant/footman/rifleman on xgm.
@handclaw102: Go
If he will join us, I don't mind
ahtiandr and Nikanorius together that will be spectacular and very powerful combination indeed!!!!!!!

They aren't using my footman and rifleman models

yeah they are custom made by someone.

You got a link on the main WoW fansite; http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/
That's a pretty big deal!
I think it was close to the front page of Reddit too.
