i have beta key for reforged but it lags as hell for now and am waiting for update
i think that this mod is enough to mess around till realease of reforged one
mod called warcraft 3 rebirth (6threlease)
How long will your download link stay active that you have there? I mean, in general I care more about Reforged because it has World Editor feature updates, but I might be entertained by seeing what users put together.
However, I’m traveling for the next few hours with unstable internet. I have linux servers at my command and could snipe the link with wget but you probably aren’t offering a direct HTTP download?
its not my file. its someones else. i just find it out
Okay, so, on Jan 28 when TFT battlenet shuts down, how exactly would you use these files for anything other than single player? Isn’t modding kind of a dead-end now?
(EDIT: I keep hoping they will add a utility for loading a large content mod and then playing modded melee with friends, because I made several MPQ mods like that as a kid, but Blizzard hasn’t announced any support for that concept in the manner that they support maps. So I was curious if you knew anything about that.)
i dont know about this info. its something i start using from today and it seems funny, are nt you a bit offencive to me?
Maybe, I’m on a train half asleep irl, no offense intended, but a guy I believe is one of the authors of this mod was talking in a group channel earlier and said my friend should be beheaded, so I was being a skeptic of this mod
so classic users will stop playing online ? is this the end?
the mod i link you works for campaign and single player. i didnt tested yet online
No, they play through the Battlenet launcher with the same game as Reforged but with HD graphics disabled until they buy Reforged. That has been my understanding. I could be wrong! Maybe someone else knows more.
this mod just adds other skins to terrain,buildings and units
i dont think its a problem, everything will be as it is
But if Blizzard declares that Reforged updated system is the new TFT, and that system continues not to allow mods, then you wouldn’t be able to play this mod socially without making sure to install the legacy client.
But I’m interested in solutions. I spent a lot of years making a mod that added some custom races and my mod is basically dead in the water also. Would be cool to see Reforged support mods that could be loaded across multiple maps. Doesn’t Starcraft 2 have something similar to that?
@OP- next time post the link to the official page, not the mediafire link…

as an experienced member of the map modding community, Im surprised you never heard of clones. You can download copies of WC3 classic that are still on older patches (such as 1.26) and play on alternate servers like W3Arena or Garena.
obviously, such an obstacle can be frustrating, but after reforged releases then we will probably be forced to keep a backup/clone copy for older patches and mod support
however, I do believe the creators of WC3 HD (or Rebirth) theyre planning on porting their mod over to work with Reforged, so that shouldnt be an issue hopefully
Yes but alternate servers are illegal, why would you do something corrupt?
In all seriousness, I have a vast array of copies of Warcraft III, but they are generally copied from my own installation. I don’t do the downloads. But that doesn’t stop me from having every version I could want running back to 1.21b.
But I was never big into the illegal alternative server scene. I often play wc3 with close friends and we set up games, and so they usually just have the official client installed. In my past in the 1.26 era, I had a ton of flash drives with the game and would just shove them in computer labs for language parties, but life was different then for me and for the game.
lol 
i was going to say all that but was to lazy so just wrote dl, knew you would understand 
i know w3arena is breaking EULA but isnt it only technically illegal for the creators, not the users?
eitherway, I was just giving the solution to our problem. I understand using a previous patch to play mods isnt always the simplest solution, but I mean personally IMO i do not like reforged. I did not preorder, and I dont know if I have any interest in buying it. Because its essentially killing the original game. I actually want w3arena to return and maintain a server just for 1.26 (and maybe even for roc)
I do not know the answer to which portions of a EULA violating third party server are illegal, so in general I like to not use them.
I preordered like 50 times. I prefer to believe Blizzard’s people will figure it out because it was clear they love the game, even though getting it right for everyone is probably an almost impossible task.
That sounds like nonsense to me. Why would you want a server for 1.26 if you could pick any version and could choose 1.22 instead if 1.26? I always much preferred 1.22. For custom stuff, you have the same return bug nonsense, but 1.22 is before Blizzard attempted to remove it at all, so using it is incredibly straightforward.
Why is Reforged killing the game, though? The game doesn’t require you to play on one central server, so it has immortal life as long as people are able to play it on LAN. Reforged could replace all units with white squares and yet we would still be able to install with a Frozen Throne Install Disk and play.
I rather wait until 28.01.2020 than installing that pathetic mod that violates the terms of agreement.
The main reason people love blizzard’s games is because of their reputation for creating games with longevity in mind.
Not many want to waste all their hard work and/or time into something that may or will have a short lifespan.
since the pack linked is only models and textures, you could put them into a map and host it.
i am sorry then
the file linked in the first post is not a mod but a collection of textures and models without any executables to run it.
just paste the content into your wc3 folder, and enable local mods in regedit.exe, still the mod is shit like I said on the post above lol.
