I have not even heard back from the guy yet. If these wcs people keep ticking along like this they might finish before he starts lol. I am surprised how quickly they have come together.

and our races and levels, they'll be transferred?
that means estools workaround was found?

I got srcds to load. Now I got to get eventscripts and the other stuff working.

Yea... none of the races work. Even the old base races. Except for Night Elf that works. Note that there are no effects and so it is hard to even tell if anything is going on. This release is more of a proof of concept than anything else...

So essentially all of the races and coding still has be be redone?

But they have the base to start working on it?

From what I see on the war3 forums they seem very focused on not allowing any sort of wcs features on war3. Remember that these are two different mods like gg and ggdm. I have contacted the developer again on the war3 forums this time about the private version. I know that they are only interested in a war3 mod and not a wcs mod but hopefully for a price we can get a modified version of war3 that is wcs.

You can read here about what war3 vs wcs is and understand why I would need to buy a private version: http://war3source.com/index.php?topic=200.msg1295#new

Yes and no. They do need to be completely recoded however the features to program do not even exist yet. For example none of the effects work so even if you could create the powers there would be no indication that they are even working. In addition some as in many abilities currently just crash if executed. Lastly the only thing they have really done is show that they are working on getting it working again and what they have accomplished. They actually have done a lot but unfortunately there is still a shit ton of work ahead.

This does not bode well for any WCS related happy funtime...

I have now created a thread on the wcs forums to try to get server owners to join together to develop a public SM version from scratch. If we can get a few servers on board it will be easier to attract SM programmers as if money was not enough.
