This is a great game with lots of fun modding. But in order to keep modding, now I need to be able to make class CAbilityLeapingAttack : public CAbility and this is not possible without the source code, which is very bad. I want to make new abilities like a leaping attack to a target destination. Also I would enjoy to be able to make Build Tiny Altar of Kings, but where it has a Gold Cost.

Just curiosity, is there a problem with this specific class or you can’t make classes at all?
One of the best ideas tbh master Retera, too bad lots of people look at it from a shady angle.
Making W3R Open Source for the community to fix is one of the best way ever to keep the game alive and thriving.

Why do I remember something like that being a thing in the past? Although I think it was via scripting & the tooltip was a bit broken.
100% agree.

I have a huge list of everything that can go wrong.
And it still seems like a better idea to me than waiting for blizzard to do something.

Considering the remake was mostly to force a new EULA to never let another dota happen again I would say your chances of this happening are between zero and someone hacking blizzard.

They didn’t want to cause another dota. But I already counted 3 more dotas that they caused.
100% agree.

Maybe Blizzard will have to end up Open Sourcing all their old games including this one… WC3, SC, SC2… they have already abandoned haven’t they? Are there still any dev teams? I doubt it.

The core part of SC is already open source. You can download the sdl and create your own games.
That’s when Blizzard had proper developers who knew they were some of the best around…

no, abandoned, but as long as they own the IP they rather sit on it than allow anyone else do anything with it. they might lose out on big money. its the same with other big publishers and IPs they dont wanna hand out.
EA for example still protects their IPs from community projects (mods, remakes) with lawsuits against developers if they dont kill the project even tho the IP has been dead for decades.
Valve is one of the few or the only publisher not to shut down big community projects using their IP with a lawsuit - in contrast Valve even gets involved and helps the developers - as seen with the half-life remake “Black Mesa”.
nintendo almost killed the kaizo mario community by law enforcing certain regulations on old super nintendo games, e.g. you cannot offer ready done roms for kaizo mario anymore, you need to create them urself with your legal super mario cartridge.

I guess the source code will be shared, once someone hacks it. 
Anyone for Warcraft 3 Reversed?^^

i rather have warcraft 3 refixed. the classic w3 was declining, too. there needs to be new blood in wc3, reforged put some in but also sucked it dry in the process. reforged is fixable, and if it was fixed, it’d be a great game - better than classic.

The whole network layer must to be redone from scratch…
The interface must to be redone from 0. It is not fixable, it is just totally wrong.
What remains?
The graphic?
The old wc3 needed some improvement here and there, but reforged brought NONE of them…
adopt w3reforged matchmaking and server infrastructure.
redoing the interface is not rocket science or another great pyramid of gizeh.
graphics need some tuning, but its perfectly doable.
The issue is that, for example, he has to re-record all the dialogues of the campaign.
Reactivate the connection system.
Make the missing models.
They really cut the investment in half and a lot of things just threw money away (The new dubbing for a campaign that is exactly the same instead of using the old one)
the server infrastructure of reforged is awful.
it is better to start from scratch with the ghost bot in mind and maybe finally implement the possibility of reconnect to the game…
for everyone but Blizzard employees it seems^^
yes, this can be saved
