I still have the total conversion, and I actually have version 2 of it which was the unreleased one (since Blizzard made infoceptor stop and all) but it only runs on Windows 98 currently because of some of the old programs that it uses (mainly CWADS). If anyone is interested in updating it (EXE2MPQ + Firegraft) so that it can be played on Vista/Windows XP then let me know and I can get it to you. I would try myself but I haven't really delved into modding much before...just collecting lots of mods. I used to have contact to the main maker of the mod but have since lost contact. I am sure he would be happy to see it run again though. The starcraft folder version of it I have it about 185 megs. It was a really good TC back in the day and more completed than most Total Conversions. The fact they finished version one and released a version 2 attests to that. Though from what I recall version 2 was never officially released since blizzard made them shut it down.

Known Bugs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a list of the current Known Bugs of the TC which we will strive to get rid of.

- Do NOT use the badlands terrain, it's in the process of been converted and hence will crash the game...

- Human AI won't work due to the fact that their tech-tree ahs been changed around so much.
So when playing vs comps, make the comps be ieither demons or Orcs

All other bugs have already been fixed.

Hmmm. I thought there was a 3.0 version? I remember there being one. Can't remember what my version is.

You might be right, check the readme files on your version. I remember the last version of it they couldn't officially release because Blizzard had shut it down at that point (copyright and all). I thought I had gotten a copy of that version later from Infoceptor but maybe he didn't have it anymore and I got the version before it. Not sure. But yea, if someone has a more recent version than me that could be converted to work on Windows Vista/XP then even more awesome !

iirc it didn't have a readme; at least none of mine did (guys just sent me the mpq and that's that). If I don't have it I used to know someone who did. I'm almost certain there's a 3.0 file somewhere.

It's a decent mod graphic-wise but it's unstable from ICE and Arsenal corruption.

Ah...hmm. I just remembered now I asked Infoceptor (like 3-4 years ago I think) for 3.0 but he hadn't backed it up. So no idea who would have it. I remember it running pretty stably I played it over network a lot with my brother back in the day. And honestly I enjoyed it more than the real Warcraft III .

For me both versions crashed long before I could finished any significantly sized game with computers.

Maybe it was because of the terrain type you were playing on or because of computers. I mainly just remember finishing a lot of multiplayer games without computers and I think we only found like one way to crash the game...I think it was one of the unit spells maybe.

Can you upload it? The link on Infoceptor is broken.

It's kinda big and I think we are trying to figure out if anyone has 3.0 first anyway. I don't have the zipped version just my old copy of it installed on what I believe is Starcraft 1.07..its hard to say though since I can't run it because I don't have a windows 98 system for running cwads anymore.

hm, i thought I had version 3, but the file is called war3tcV2_2.exe, so i guess it's the same as you have.
I also think I have seen version 3 somewhere, and even had downloaded it.
I believe some guy called Ojan(?) from Smempire could have it...

Ah yeah. Ojan would definitely have it.

Ah well awesome...is one of ya'll able to get a hold of him and get it from him. I assume 3.0 also only works on windows 98 since it should be in the same format but if its out there it would obviously be the best one to convert. Hopefully that guy didn't delete it at some point :-).

For Some reason I have the .pat file for War3TC. Not sure what version it is or whether this is something that is included in most of the .zip packages. About a year or so ago, I converted it to FGraft 1.15.0 .exe just so I could check it out. Not a bad mod and the graphics were ripped/converted to the SCraft palette pretty well. The gameplay is pretty stale compared to todays modern mod tho.

Anywho, I have the .pat and can upload it if needed.

lol. And once again, baja comes in to save the day.

Any readme files in it that might indicate what version it is? Either way though if it works on 1.15.0 then it would work on Windows XP/Vista. Probably too big to put up on SEN though. Try and find out what version it is and how big it is, maybe we can get it up on a drop.io or something.

I can host it if desired.

download link?

I only have 2.2 and 2.0 so I think we are waiting for one of the guys that hopefully has 3.0 to upload it somewhere. Sounds like bajadulce already converted what he had which is hopefully 3.0 I guess if he contacts IskatuMesk about hosting then maybe it can be up for everyone to check out soon :-).

Here's the deal:
I've converted War3TC to 1.16.1FGraft since it has no .exe edits. The version I have is 2.02. There were some things that had to be fixed however:

1. stat_txt.tbl was broken. The final strings were jumbled together and missing crucial post 1.07 replay button strings and more.
2. There were a few action/requirement strings that were using values higher than 1546 and didn't exist on my stat_txt.tbl and thus crashing the game when you hovered over those buttons.
3. Some of the .bin files do not match 1.16.1 and were updated.
4. Added all of the portrait folder to the .exe itself.
5. iscript.bin is unopenable, but functions in game.

Anywho, there are a few buttons that need new string action/requirements that my .pat conversion didn't handle, but not many. For the most part it is very accurate and plays great even on Bnet! . I am a little busy right now with a big golf tournament all this week, but will try to fix these some time this weekend and then upload it. The file is about 12mb with the portraits included in the .exe. I would really like to write a quick custom aiscript for the mod as well. Tho, I've been dropping hints of that one for the past year or so now. Nonetheless, it will get uploaded sometime soon. Stay Frosty in the meantime.

Wow, awesome, thanks for your great work helping to revive this... I am sure infoceptor would be proud . Keep us posted, glad to hear you got it working on b.net. Maybe the time has come for a fun total conversion league... I always wanted to start an STF one but then b.net kept changing versions faster than STF could . That War 3 TC is nostalgic though, I remember liking it more than actually playing warcraft 3 .

Edit: Still staying frosty and hoping for a release soon :-).
