Re: WC3 Mod on SourceMod?

There's a TF2 server with something called "SourceCraft" Linky (you have to register on their forums to view it, or just read the following)
Quote:
Ok, since the SourceCraft mod has drawn a lot of interest, I decided to make a guide to help out the new players who aren't familiar with the mod. Note: this guide assumes that you understand the basics of TF2, if you do not, this mod is not for you.
Lets start out with the basic chat commands:
help - this brings up a list of the basic commands in the mod
scmenu - this also brings up a list of commands however you can go directly to them instead of having to type the commands
showxp - this shows your current xp and your level
changerace - select a different race
raceinfo - shows each race's abilities
skillsinfo - shows what the skills of your current race do
resetskills - resets your skill points in your current race and allows you to reallocate them
spendskills - spend any unused skill points
showskills - shows what skills you have invested in your current race
shopmenu - brings up the list of items available for purchase with your crystals
showcrystals - this shows the current amount of crystals you have, this can also be done via the shopmenu
Some of these commands you might want to bind to a key, such as shopmenu and changerace. To bind a key input the following into your console: example, bind "f" "say shopmenu". By typing that into console you will have bound your shopmenu to your f key. You can bind anything to any key, just make sure you do not bind over a key that you normally use for TF2. The console is accessed by activating the developer console in options and hitting the ~ key.
Ok now that you know the basic commands, let get to the races. There are currently 9 races available in the SourceCraft mod. Each race has 4 abilities, 3 of them are passive and one ability is active, called your "ultimate" which is only available when you have reached level 8 in that race. Each ability can only go up to level 4 and only works with that race. There are some races that only become available at higher overall levels. This means that you have to have an overall level that equals or exceeds the requirements. Also your skill points do not carry over between races, you need to earn them for each race.
Here is each race, their abilities, who they are best suited for, and for some the overall level required to access them:
Human Alliance:
Immunity - makes you immune to shopitems at level 1, explosions at level 2, heathtstealing at level 3 and ultimates at level 4

Suited for: Spies, Scouts, Pyros, people who want to start Jihad!
To use your ultimate you need to bind a key to "+ultimate", so to bind your f key to ultimate type bind "f" "+ultimate" in the console.
Ok, so now you've got your race, but you have all these crystals, and your wondering what are you going to do with those pesky bastards?
Here is a breakdown of the shopmenu items, remember to access these simply type shopmenu in chat:
Ankh of Reincarnation: 40 Crystals - retrieve shopmenu items in your next life

Ring of Regeneration - 15 Crystals - slowly regain hp
Mole - 75 Crystals - places you in the enemy respawn, go nuts!
Mole Protection - 15 Crystals - deflect some damage from the mole
These items are great for new players as they give them an upper hand against higher level players, use them wisely and you can take down anyone.
A few final notes:
The mod is currently not completed and can change in the blink of the eye.
Several races have broken abilities or abilities that are working as intended.
Several shop items are also broken.
If you find any bugs please report them on these forums so that they can be fixed.
Finally, if you do not like the mod please post why on our forums, constructive input is valued.

A file converter is only useful if someone ports THAT eventscript plugin to SourceMod though. If I port WC3 XP from AMXX to SourceMod, or if Geesu ports WC3 FT from AMXX to SourceMod, your eventscript file is still useless, as "WC3Source" doesn't match either of the AMXX plugins.
