New MOD for WC3 Makes Playing SC in 3D Possible??

[Biske]

A group of programers have been working hardcore on a new mod for Warcraft 3. Called "Project Revolution", this new MOD will breath new life into the Starcraft game. The project is 41% complete, and uses the WC3 Graphics Engine to produce your beloved StarCraft units and buildings in full 3d Glory!

The finished product is slated for the end of this year/begining of the next year release. The MOD will focus mainly on the multiplaying aspect of the game, and partnered servers are already making the upgrades to host the MOD when it comes out.

"Besides the engine, we're trying to get as close to the original SC as possible. Of course, certain limitations (of the engine for example) and some details are impossible to keep. And certain new aspects of the engine won't be used for the same reason. For example, we decided that a useful thing such as autocast might negatively influence the game balance, and this is why we are only giving autocast to the Terran Medic, as it was in StarCraft."

"The beta-test will start when the technical side of the game is finished. Which means: when the graphics for unit, building etc. are finished. During the Beta, we'll be working on the campaign and fixing the Beta bugs, errors and balance issues. Most probably the beta will be public. And again, I can't predict a precise date. Somewhere this autumn."


"We'll try to make the graphics identical. Perhaps, the animation menu will be a little different, but the game will be as close to the original as possible, you can see it in the screenshots. In fact, we want to copy the whole atmosphere of the game, not just the graphics. This is why the game will be using the original sounds and music."

Now, here are some exciting Screen shots of the SC MOD!

...well, this'll take all my bandwidth for the month....

well im definitely gonna dl that...you think that it requires a dual install to still play regular wc?

 

[Biske]

Wouldn't know...I'd suggest going to the website and asking them about it, but we'll know in the BETA testing, which I'm definetly gunna try to be apart of.

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

That look really nifty. I was wondering when they would come out with soemthing new for startcraft since it was a very promising title from the start.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

This looks extremely amazing. I can't wait. although it is too bad there won't be autocast. I also had fun posting this in the sc2 discussion. ppl thought this was starcraft2. i think blizzard would put much more effort into it though

 

[x42bn6]

Looks kinda cool, but kinda bland as well..... would've been sweet with more detail tho.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

It would be so much more harder for them to improve on the graphics. remmebr this is a big job to do, especialy taking the originaly sc and changing it for war3.

 

[RageWinterchill]

This is certainly an interesting idea, and I'm glad they're working on it. I think if they could manage to polish up the graphics and stuff a bit, I'd definitely download it. I've always wanted to see my SC in 3D.

 

[NEOxx0]

yeah the enviroments dont really look cool or like all other sc have although the idea of using the wc style for sc is a briliant idea to make it look cooler

 

[Xodus_Wing]

i say those were done in adobe photoshop

 

[Maelstorm]

donno about that prolly will dl it ...... just wanted to say i am working with some ppl on sc version of w3...same story as sc/bw but it 3d......we ahve started only resently adn didn't get far yet but we have modeles finished nad almsot textured , gonan post pics here

So that's where the Hydralsk came from for Defense of the Ancients!

 

[Aragorn7]

It is available in the editor. The hydralisks came with WC3. It was made to kind of recreate what a starcraft unit would look like in the WC3 engine.

It's in Wc3 because it's in one of the RoC Campaigns as a lil secret tid-bit, I think you need the iseedeadpeople cheat on. Atleast thats what i read somewhere.

Ya, I do hope they get more detailed. The Terran CC doesn't look to bad though.

 

[senureMiget]

if your going to dl it you need both WC3 and SC/BW because they need it for the sound&music

 

[PeonWars]

I don't believe Blizzard isn't getting at your back at this for doing it, its like Starcraft II: Warcraft III Graphics Engine Edition But, it looks very promaseing, I would greatfully pay 20.00 for that mod. The reason of that is because most professional modders couldent even do that, let alone think of it. Thanks Chibi for the heads up on the new mod. Can you post the site

 

[Biske]

no way...so all those rumors about SC 2 are false?? It's just some WC ripoff? I don't believe it!
