Mods & Development / Warcraft 2 - remake
« on: January 23, 2017, 02:08:37 PM »
Hello guys,
Following your posts, I decides to make an another topic.
What: As you can read, I have just decided to start a new project. This includes a new warcraft game implementation using SDL cpp library and native C/Cpp code.
Why: because my ideas can't fit into a hacked warcraft version. I want heros with new speels, lvling engine and other stuff to aim my initial idea, having one warcraft that contains dota mode. But there is more than this, I plan to make a map editor changing the old PDU concept. This new editor will be based on this game new implementation, from where you can write a complex AI program (for example one specific AI for a single unit, etc)
When: I plan to develop this new game that is based on warcraft during this year. According on achivments, I'll decide if I'll keep this project.
Proove of concept: I already have a first scretch that is able to hande warcraft data and displaying characters like Peons at a specific location and changing their icons according to a specific event (key down- mouse moving). I plan to implement a full movement engine for characters like 278 (hope this is the correct entry number for units movments from wardat).
It looks to be a lot of work, but my goal is to learn how to do this. At least is a win for me.
Of course, everybody is invited to join to this project. As soon as I have a good starting point, I'll uploadd the whole project as open source.
I'll be back whith results. Don't hesitate to contact me for any additional information.
Pace!
