What is War3Source?

From https://war3source.com/:
War3Source brings the Warcraft 3 leveling style and races into the game. It is originally based on the amxmodx (AMX) version War3FT.

Each standard race has total of 16 levels, made up of 3 skills and 1 ultimate where each skill/ultimate can be leveled 4 times for a total of 16 levels.

War3Source features a modular design where races can be coded independently and loaded into the main plugin. Independent plugins (Addons) can be created to complement or change aspects War3Source.

There are also shop items in W3S as there are in all Warcraft mods.

To further extend this information:

War3Source: Evolution expands on War3Source.

W3Faction created by Don Revan was updated in War3Evo's War3Source. You can build races that use W3Factions to determine if a player shares the same faction or not. You could create a race that uses factions in order to give bonuses or negatives to a player race. A W3Faction can be anything you want... elf, dwarf, orc, etc. OR wood, stone, fire OR Light, Dark, Grey... whatever you desire in your race.

Casting allows you to implement a delay in your race before "casting a spell" with spell effects that "shows" others that your about to cast a spell.

Wards allows you to implement a area on the map that would be placed for a certain amount of seconds. The ward could be used to help your team or hurt the other team or both. The ward is visible to everyone and is color coded. Usually there is a timer and a limited number of wards a race can put down.

Good job man! Thank you!

The main issue in War3Source - races tied to skill buff and item buff. So I cant create Chameleon race =)
For this reason, in every race SDKHooK_OnTakeDamage used and it loads CPU

Is this a complaint?, an Issue?, or Something good? I'm a bit confused.

If you are talking about War3Source 2nd Generation by Ownz and his team... please name it War3Source 2nd Generation, and you can name this one War3Source:EVO so there will not be confusion.

Are you creating races using SDKHooK_OnTakeDamage?? Cause War3Source:EVO has its own private forward system for doing that.

In order for me to help, I need to better understand. Please specify which platform you are having issues, if any.

If you can, please private message me a link to where I can download a copy of your issued race, if there is a problem.

Okay, thank you for answer)
Its possible to create Chameleon race(like CS 1.6 war3ft) in War3Source:EVO?
This race have random skills on each round. Skills from Undead to Crypt Lord.

I never worked on Ownz's Generic Skill creation and I have not removed that either, so that should probably still work. It is not in the method maps as I have not added that there, so in theory is should work if you was to use Ownz's Generic Skill creation system from War3Source 2nd generation.

As far as having random skill sets, you would probably have to create a bunch of generic skills and pull from them.


I just thought about something. It is possible I could create a system to "trigger" skills that a player's race does not normally have, but I would have to work on a system to do that.

It would probably be more preferable to just create a triggering system or a marking system. For what you ask is pretty complicated and could take either a long time to create or not at all.


Maybe your best be is to try and use Ownz's Generic Skill creation system in each race you create to be able to "share" skills between races.

I'll look further into this.


My idea is...

Maybe I could create a system to have 2 race sets. One is Real, and the other is Fake. If both are the same number, then the system would use the Real number... if both don't match, then the system would use the Fake number as the raceID for that player. In order to use this, it would probably be best to setup the Fake number in the race itself.

One of the issues I have with this is trying to figure a way to keep the engine optimized while doing this stuff. I'd hate to change how the engine works just for 1 race.

The other issue is... would the player be leveling that race, or would they be leveling each skill from the other races?

For what your calling for is to create a list of "skills", then from there assign those skills to races at any time?



To change how race building works would be the best way to solve this issue.


I think the best idea is to figure out how I built SkillCraft and I think that would help change how races are built. In my SkillCraft, players could setup and choose from numberous skills that they decide they want to use. It allows players to create their own races in game. SkillCraft never caught on and nobody wanted to play it.

Your race idea is good, but from what i have experienced... the more complex a game the less players you will get. In other words, SkillCraft was too complex and since a player couldn't figure out how to defeat the other player .. as that player kept changing skills on each death... it was really hard to balance and counter.

How do you plan to have a player counter your race that changes skills every round, death, or what ever?

Here is another link to my plugin SkillCraft: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=228357

The problem again would be leveling a race that can change its skills.


Creating a system like your requesting would be to completely remove how the races are built, and to incorporate a skill system. The player's race would then determine what skill set it has.

Do you have a copy of the old source code your talking about? If so, can you share it?


The best way I can think of doing this for War3Source:EVO would be to allow races to pick from a pool of skills. That race that you create could "switch" its skill set, but everyone playing that race would also have all the same skills. So, if that race changed its skill to some other skill.. every player playing that race would have their skills changed to the same skill that everyone playing that race has.

Overall, it would require a ton of work and time. If your a programmer, hopefully my SkillCraft will give you better ideas. Good Luck.

P.S. If you can tell me a good reason to change the engine to do this other than just 1 race having that ability... I may consider looking into it. Other than that, this system can not swap skills between races.








ideas on topic..

Player Selects Race, once they join the race, the race assigns skills to the player. The race would now be able to "change" the skills of the player while the player is still the same race. That could be possible, and would require changing how the system builds races. And again would require time and effort.

Does anyone else see a benefit in this time and effort?

Player just leveling this race and recieved skill with Chamaleon skill level

Thats right!

[El Diablo War3Evo]

Hitmany, I have many thoughts on how to do it, but would require a lot of work and changes. And at this time I am unable to think clearly on how I would accomplish this. If you or someone else has a better idea on how to do it correctly without having to completely rebuild a majority of this source code please do tell.

Maybe the 4th generation of War3Source could achieve this. For now, I'm going to keep it simple and keep it built how like everyone knows it works. Plus, I have to continue translating the other races and addons for this mod.

Essentially, changing this would basically turn it into SkillCraft...Where players don't have "races", but "skills" that can be swapped.

If you like being able to swap skills around, try, use, and update my SkillCraft.


P.S. It could be possible to add some skillcraft features into warcraft as private forwards and stuff... then you'd have to modify the races so they use the new features, then you will be able to do that. Races created the old way, you would not have access to their skills. I can not figure out how to "temporarily fake" a race for a player without giving them "all that race's skills".
