And what is this "it made you way to slow to be worth anything" Im not sure what this means... Why would silent footsteps make you slow? Like i said, maybe im not understanding the post here.
fair enough. the amulet of the cat reduced your speed to that of a crouch. it made you completely silent, but...yeah.

there is actually no way to make the amulet as you say. at least not in war3. i proposed a solution on the war3boards a long time ago, but it wasn't very elegant. in order to eliminate footsteps (for only one person) you'd have to hook the footstep event/sound, and identify exactly who it belongs to, then block it from all others. my solution was to mod the movespeed of crouched movement or walking for players with the item to be as fast as running. that way they'd still be 'walking' but at running speed.

but they didn't go for it, since the vast majority of people there don't really care about the item.


plus, it's just as pointless as mikey's tampon idea.
